Excellent sabich. Option for whole wheat pita. Lots of salad options but no preserved lemon. Harissa is good quality though Moroccan style. Do try and pay cash, there is a credit card surcharge.

I agree with other reviewers that it is the best falafel Ive had. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and were that way with everyone coming in and out. I cant wait to go back and try some of their other items. What a gem in Forest Hills. Worth checking out.
