Ba‘al Cafe & Falafel New York Reviews
This place has incredible falafel. The cooks are so hardworking.
Cute, small little shop, I would definitely go back again! The food was good, but its busy during lunch time. There are four small tables inside.
I won't write paragraphs about it. Employees deliver excellent care in wonderful surroundings. The menu showcases professionally prepared dishes. The mood struck a balance between laid-back and warm. This restaurant left me with no complaints.
Fantastic lunch spot. Got the falafel sandwich and it was delicious to the last bite. Fluffy but not too much pita, delicious and great texture falafel, and a nice spicy sauce on top. Super tiny inside with limited seating - plan to take your food to eat elsewhere.
Been visiting for 7 years. In those years, I have tried other places whenever I happen upon an interesting falafel place. Not one has surpassed y’all in excellence! I don’t know why y’all don’t have lines out the door but I’ll enjoy the fantastic food in a nice quiet ambience on a serene street while I can. Thank you for being a part of the Sullivan street community ❤️
Staff is very friendly, polite and attentive to each customers needs. Food is fresh, healthy delicious and affordable?! Cute ambiance that fits into the soho neighborhood with indoor/outdoor seating. Excellent vegetarian options and fresh juices like mint iced lemonade and watermelon juice, as well as smoothies.
The falafel was soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. It had a unique tasting note of anise. It's a nice place to visit and order takeout from. One can also hang around in the dining area. There's not much sacrifice required here but giving a tip with the purchase is a good idea.
So fresh! So good! Looking for fresh, homemade, ridiculously good Mediterranean casual food then look no further. The dishes here are amazing! It was so delicious! I especially love the chicken over rice with beets and apples with mint lemonade. Yummmmm!!! There are a couple of seats inside and outside! The place is on a little side charming street in Soho so it’s not loud and crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very clean place! Definitely without a doubt, highly recommend this place to dine in or takeaway!!
Got a falafel platter with couscous and tomato/cucumber salad. My boyfriend got a chicken sandwich. Both choices - delicious!! This small Mediterranean cafe makes one of the best falafels in town. Both of us were pleasantly surprised. Also, the ingredients are fresh, the place is kept super clean and the staff are very welcoming. Definitely come here if you like Mediterranean cuisine! A must try!
