Excellent vegan Middle Eastern food - Edit
I got the appetizer sampler and the lentil soup. I knew it would be too much food and it was, so I brought some of the sampler home for breakfast the next day. Everything was delicious. If I am ever in town again, I will order the sampler again.

Authentic Middle Eastern Food - Edit
Transplanted NY residents open authentic Mom and Pop restaurant and grocery. Looking for middle eastern delicacies or imported foods from Mediterranean area swing by for good food. Plenty of Vegan options for all.

No-Frills But Tasty Mediterranean/Mid-East Cuisine - Edit
The cafe is located inside a Lebanese/Middle Eastern grocery. In addition to the standard Mediterranean/Mid-Eastern vegetarian food, gyros and kebabs were for sale, as well as pastries. It took me a moment to figure out that you had to order from the register toward the middle of the store.
Read moreI ordered the veggie plate ($6.95; tabouli, deep fried falafels, baba ganouj, hummus, salad with lettuce and radishes, and pita bread, all served on a styrofoam plate with plasticware). Coca-Cola products were on sale at the register, but I opted to get a bottle of mango juice drink ($3.99/liter).
The falafels were very crunchy on the outside, so much so that it was difficult to get my plastic fork into. Inside, they were delicious, as well as the rest of the meal. Portions were a bit on the light side, good for lunch but perhaps lacking for dinner. I followed the veggie plate up with more of the tabouli (8 oz. for $3.95) and two slices of baklava (forgot the price on that.)
Despite the quirky setup, the cafe was clean, and service was friendly. I'd definitely recommend it, but I wish the portions were a bit more generous.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly service, Variety of healthy drink options
Cons: Small portions, Served on styrofoam & plasticware, Atmosphere was like a grocery store
