The restaurant was covered in boxers and it seemed they weren’t open. I wanted the salad and they were out. I got the chicken platter and the rice was disgusting, like sushi rice. The salad was 50% onions and the hummus was mid. The woman was super nice who brought our food out. But overall disappointing. My mom and I shared a plate and we left 50% of the food untouched. For 19$ not worth it.

We’re sorry your visit was disappointing. We were dealing with some storage/organization issues that day, but the food quality you described is not what we want to serve. We appreciate your comments about the rice, salad, hummus, and availability, and we’ll review them with the team. We’re glad our staff treated you kindly and hope we can give you a much better experience next time.

Worst meal I’ve had in New York. Went nearby to grab something while my food was being prepared. Food was given to someone else. Had to wait for it to be remade (30min + total waiting for two pita). Got home to eat it and chicken is burnt black, pita are half empty. Not worth the time or money.

Reply from the business

We’re very sorry about your experience. Your order should never have been given to someone else, and the burnt chicken and portions you described are not acceptable. We’ll address this with our team immediately and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We hope you’ll give us a chance to make it right.
