The pickled beets were tasteless, the carrots woody, the dolmas came out of a can, the tomatoes and cucumbers were rubbery, the falafel was like sawdust. The vegan chicken was very strange. It didn 't taste bad, but it had a spongy texture and also had little to no flavor. I have no idea how this restaurant gets the reviews it does. I think if you are vegan and you are looking for something inexpensive and relatively quick to eat, this restaurant is probably a fine option. But everyone else, not so much. I do have to say that the pita bread was very good; very fresh. The hot sauce wasn 't spicy, but, unlike everything else, it did have flavor.

Good spot for a small and quick bite to eat. Nice counter serve spot where you order yourself. The pocket was nice and I really liked the mix of spicy and sesame falafel balls. Advertised as a full meal replacement but I thought it was pretty light for a full meal.

Cute little shop selling variety of Mediterranean food including falafel baklava, hummus, Greek dolmas and more. The falafel was moist, crisp, and flavorful, and the sauces that came with it were tasty.

Perfect. The best vegan falafel and other items in this kitchen. Organic banana milk shakes with fair trade bananas and without added sugar. No honey beacon. Amazing.
