First I have to say the 1 star is about the service - because the food is EXCELLENT!!! I saw the special online - $5.95 Falafal pita special every day 11 am to 4 pm. I went there specifically to get that - and when I asked the person behind the counter, she was quite rude and told me they don't offer it any more. I explained that I"d seen it on their website, so they must still be offering it. She said (and I must add she was fairly aggressive about the whole thing) no, they don't do the special and she can't ring that price up anyway. It's impossible. I told her I'd come specifically for the special and again she told me they don't have it and she cannot ring it up at that price. I asked for the manager, she told me he just stepped out. Then she said he's gone for the day. So I said she must call him, if they are offering a special online, they must honor it. I told her it's on their websites, and she pretty much didn't agree. I told her to look at it - she got to the main page and said "see? no special." I said "look at the specials/promotions" which she did, and there, in huge letters, it says $5.95. She told me AGAIN that she couldn't possibly ring up the $5.95 price, and told me that they have told the manager ages ago to take down the special ,but did call him and told him again to take it down. I said "please confirm he will honor the price" and she snapped at me that yes he would. She was really confrontational, but I kept my cool and let her ring it up at the $5.95. When she put the receipt on the counter, she told me that now, because of me, they would show short tonight (I guess when they tallied up the takings or whatever) - and I didn't say anything but why is that my fault? It's false advertising if they advertise a special and refuse to honor it - and it was not like I was being unreasonable. It was a MOST UNPLEASANT experience. The guy who made my falafal pita was delightful - but I have a feeling the girl, given the chance, would have liked to spit in my pita sandwich if she could, she was that annoyed with me. Why the aggression and anger, I don't know. Would I go back? For the food, definitely - the falafal pita is outstanding - but for the lousy treatment, not in a million years. IF YOU AREN'T OFFERING THE SPECIAL, THEN TAKE IT OFF...

Read moreA friend went in to buy me a sandwich. I got a pita sandwich with falafel. The sauce was good but there was one point where it burned the side of my mouth I don't know what their ingredients are but I assume it might have been garlic that was not mixed in completely that is the only downside to the composition of the sandwich as well as the quality. Obviously everything is hand prepared there and the kosher community supports it heavily and with good reason. They are very very often quite busy and I do not know what the most ideal way around that is other than being patient and waiting and entertaining yourself by reading their extensive menu. It would be difficult based on the sandwich that I had to tell you that anything would be anything else would be a bad choice because I think that they take great pride in having so many selections that they can competently serve. That can be difficult with restaurants that have many items on the menu something always has the potential to suffer but I do not believe it is the case with this location. People of all ages were there from elderly folks celebrating a birthday to their young grandchildren so it is a very open atmosphere it's just that it can get really crowded so you do need to offer patients and politeness and really take a good look at the menu first they may have one online and go in with a good idea of what you need as well as asking about anything that might be an allergen or a non-preference in the event that there's something you would have to substitute. My friend likes them greatly and they have taken very good care of her so they get a lot of business from people who are happy with them so my suggestion is go in there choosing to be happy but have an idea of what's on the menu already and know what will make it happen plenty of choices again being said that will lead to a really enjoyable...
