I don’t know if I had a lot of expectation when Jerusalem Grill opened up on 62nd and 1st, across the street from the movie theater. I was very surprised by how good my chicken kebab wrap was. They’ve done a beautiful job renovating the place and it looks very much the middle eastern part [...]

Alright, so we all now that I’m a big fan of street meat, halal food and middle eastern cuisine. I love eating chicken and lamb roasted on a spit, over quality rice with hot and white sauces. If you’ve read this blog long enough you know that I’m very opinionated as to the places that [...]

Maoz Vegetarian is a Dutch chain of fast food falafel restaurants that New Yorkers went bat shit about when the first location opened in Union Square about four years ago. The limited menu is completely falafel based and you basically just decide whether you want yours in a salad ($7.95) or in a pita ($4.95) [...]

I’m posting about the 100% Halal and Healthy Cart because it is different from the hundreds of street meat carts around the city. Aside from chicken and rice, the menu offers Ceaser salad and Greek salads with or without chicken as well as well as tuna salad, wraps, shrimp over rice and falafels. I’ve read [...]

As you probably know, I work in the financial district and am always looking for new and interesting places to eat. Musthafa’s cart (which used to have an electronic sign displaying “Zak’s”, there is no sign now) has recently gotten a lot of press. This is evident by the line you see above at 2pm [...]

My good friend and expert on pizza, wine and coffee (website here) introduced me to Mamoun’s on MacDougal Street about eight or nine years back. Usually we’d show we’d show up smashed at 2 or 3 in the morning, wait on the long ass line and each order 2 sandwiches with hot sauce when we’d [...]

My love of falafels has fallen off big time over the past couple of years, perhaps it’s because of the myriad of times I used to visit the much hyped Mamoun’s (where quality has slipped horribly since their expansion) and score $2.50 lunches or maybe it’s just because I’ve had too many in my lifetime [...]
