Very good falafels, but the quality and flavor vary between visits. They are friendly and "usually" quick, unless they're all talking behind the counter. The most unfortunate part about this place is that they allow SMOKING! It is terrible, as lots of smokers stumble in and stand at the counter smoking away. There is even a pillowed, family style Middle Eastern smoking lounge. The babaganouj is good, and spanikopita also, but is taken from the the fridge and plopped in the microwave. If you don't like onions, tell them up front. They're everywhere. Overall, great prices. The tacky tobacco company paid advertising that blemishes the surroundings could be an eyesore to some. less
