Found this amazing vegan friendly place accidentally as we were getting hungry and walking by. Ordered falafel sandwiches and fries 🍟. So tasty that we ordered two more sandwiches to go! And fries were one of the best I have ever tried in any of the counties I’ve been! Staff is very friendly and so swift at what they do! 5 stars ⭐️ are not enough to rate them! I wish we stayed longer in NYC to come back to this place again.

Stumbled into it and was quite surprised and impressed by how good the food was. It’s a tiny, no frills place, and that adds to the charm. The chicken shawarma was really flavorful, and the tahini sauce was on point. The salad balanced the dish well.

For a quick fix you can’t go wrong with the falafel sandwich for $10. I found it to be the perfect amount of food. I enjoyed the falafel too - it was baked not fried and moist and flavorful. Check them out if you need a quick bite in a pinch!

Highly, highly recommend. Sido is a place I've eaten several times, and it is consistently great each time. Their falafel is the best in the city--you can tell the recipe is authentic. The mixed grill, shawarma lamb and beef gyro, and hummus are all great. The atmosphere is so charming, a smaller place with some seating inside as well as sidewalk seating, and the restaurant is clean. The owner and staff are always friendly, always welcoming, and I so appreciate how kind they are when I take my kids in too. I've also ordered to go, and the food is packaged well and tastes great as a to go order too.

I stopped by to get a quick bite. Bought their lamb sandwich and it was delicious. Right amount of meat, veggies and sauce combination. People that work there are very nice and appreciative. I enjoyed my meal, would recommend for anyone and will definitely stop by again when I am in the area.

I decided to get some food before seeing Josh Johnson perform. 1st time in NYC, so I'm clueless on where to go. Lol I'm walking and stumble across this place. Amazing! The gentlemen were very kind and the food was great. Best falafel I ever had and the Chicken Shwarma Gyro was very good. I recommend this quaint, welcoming spot.

TL;DR: Sido is great. For the more invested reader, as I write, I am eating falafel sandwich from Sido and it is absolutely delicious. When falafel is good it's so good, and Sido's is SO GOOD: moist, crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside (as opposed to crumbly), and perfectly seasoned. The sandwich has lovely fresh vegetables, great tahini, and delicious hot sauce all of which work really well together. Besides the falafel, I also recommend the chicken kebab sandwich which is as fresh and tasty as what I describe above, and with which you get a free falafel - look in your bag! - and now we're back where we started!

Hummus and babagannus were quite tasty and in perfect consistency. However, the babagannus had an artificial garlic flavor, which made me think it was used powder instead of garlic. Since the falafels were small in size, they had absorbed a lot of oil.

Lovely food! Authentic and fresh. Recommended for take out

Overall, for Shawarma I found it pretty disappointing. It was very dry and tough and the meat didn't have much flavour.

Close to 40-50 degrees inside and no heat made this dinner less enjoyable for sure. Came in hungry, but after I saw the cook using his bear hands to load the chicken from the grill onto my dish the hunger was gone. Didn’t see any rodents on site so that is a positive. Person serving the food was very nice so need to rate the service accordingly. Won’t eat here again.

Honest Review

Sido falafel is good for grab and go place kind of calling it a day. I have had alot of good food and good falafel and shawerma in my life. Sido falafel is ok nothing crazy. I got the shawerma sandwich when I ordered it the staff pulled out a bucket of meat, placed it onto the stove warmed it up and tossed it into a Sandwich which threw me off. I asked you guys don’t cut it off a skewer he said no… not that it matters but that’s literally what shawerma is. I asked for pickles which is usually standard in shawerma sandwich and they charge extra for that it’s a dollar more but anything I put in it they charge for. Total was like $16. when in Jersey I can get a sandwich bigger and tastier for less and more sides in it. Look the sandwich was not bad in flavor it tasted good and the staff were great and all that just needs a little more presentable way of making the food! And a little more flavor to the meat. Overall good place for grab and go! But I wouldn’t die to go back and try another.
