Holy Pita — Restaurant in New York

Best darn falafel sandwich I’ve had in a very long time while. I needed a simple, nourishing lunch before returning to work. Happened upon this place. An absolute, unexpected gem. The pita was soft and ever so slightly toasted. It was filled, top to bottom with perfectly fried falafel. I could tell from warm, smooth taste of the falafel that the batch was freshly made. Seasoned with harissa or sumac (one of those) that sent it over the top into the realm of authenticity. The cabbage salad, pickles and tomatoes added a refreshing crunch. And priced very well: $12ish. Not glitzy or glamorous, humble, so leave your pretensions at the door. I look forward to stopping by next time I’m in...

If you’re in the area and craving something real and tasty, this is 100% the move. I’m already planning my next visit. Holy Pita got a new...

I was excited to see HaShahar chocolate spread as an option for malawach however after I ordered it I literally saw them take out a jar of Nutella and put it on the malawach which was disappointing.

I get that on the menu (see screenshot attached) it has "HaShahar" in quotes which intimates that it may not be the real deal, but I still feel that is dishonest given the taste difference. They should just write Nutella if they do not want to go out and buy actual HaShahar. By the way, HaShahar HaOle is available at Bingo Wholesale in...
