Avoid this Place! I went here to place a small catering order. I was rudely greeted by a woman stuffing a falafal in her face and a man who sat behind the counter not saying a word. I placed a small order and was told to come the next day at 2pm to pick it up. I also inquired it they sold tahini sauce to which they said no. I asked if they had a recommendation, to which I got a 1 word answer«No.» This is a Middle Eastern bakery in the heart of all the authentic stores and restaurants yet she acted as if she had no idea who sold any! I hesitantly placed the order and said I would be back the next day at 2pm to pick it up. I called the next morning to confirm my order to which the man said it was fine. I got there a little before 2pm and inquired if it was ready. The man said there was not an order and that they were not making any more falafals for the rest of the day. After reminding him that we spoke yesterday and earlier this morning he said they were closing soon and that he wasn’t going to fill my order. I mentioned to him that I had guest coming over in just a few hours and the main item was the falafals. He said«No» falafals. Not a I’m sorry, just«No». I told him they don’t close until 6pm and that he was blatantly lying to me. I seriously believe this is gender discrimination. He clearly did not want to sell to a woman. I am considering further pursuit.

This place has awesome falafel balls and pita bread with cheese. It’s all fresh and extremely delicious. Every time I am in the area I stop here and pick up a pack of whatever! It’s like that. Make sure you check this place out.

I love their Falafel and Kaaek(a round sesame bread) that pairs up great with falafel or olive oil and zatar.

Yum! I make errands in the neighborhood about twice a month and since I had about 30 mins to kill today, I found this place and stopped in to see if I could get some sweet and BOY was I surprised! It’s a little bakery /grocery store, nothing much on the interior, very typical of this kind of market and they have a nice selection of pastries much like Nazareth Sweets.(Although I think NS does a little flakier pastry with more honey) but delicious none-the-less. As I was paying for my little box of baklava, I saw out of the corner of my eye… FALAFAL balls! I couldn’t resist and tasted ONE and they were DELICIOUS! The BEST falafal ball I have EVER eaten and it wasn’t fresh off the grill either. BUT the texture was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The spices were AMAZING and I never noticed alot of sesame in falafals before but this was full of them and it tasted SO good. I will be back again next time! I ended up with 6 of them, eating two of them on the way home! Oh, also get a pack of their fresh baked pitas — they are fluffy and THIck! guess what I’m having for lunch tomorrow?
