#3
Falafel Inc
7.6
A tiny counter-service spot off 5th Avenue, Falafel Inc focuses on straightforward Middle Eastern street food—falafel, shawarma, and hummus—at very friendly prices. With limited seating and very low review volume so far, it functions as a grab-and-go option for nearby residents rather than a destination restaurant.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lamb shawarma wrap, Falafel pita, Hummus plate with salad
What Makes it Special: No-frills counter turning out inexpensive falafel and shawarma near 5th Avenue.
