Love the location, quick service and standard taste. Falafel burger and wrap both were good. Decent seating area to enjoy a quick bite while you enjoy the peppy music that they play.
Delicious Israeli food at very reasonable prices. Their IG page is nothing but wall-to-wall pictures of mouth-watering cuisine, with beautiful presentation.
OMG! So good! It’s certified kosher, and it has all of the authentic Israeli cuisine benefits in a greatly composed menu, prepared just right, served with abundance, great service, open until late, and have a good (!!!) Turkish coffee, just as you’d expect (or probably you won;t expect it to be that good). Pita bread is hot and fresh, falafel is amazing, the soup was sooo good, only thinking of it now makes my mouth water. Go there, or order out.
Awesome fresh food!! Loved the pita sandwiches and salads! Falafel balls are amazing!!
Food is ample but quality seems rushed and ingredients not top notch. There are better, more authentic and refined options in the city for pita/hummus/baba/falafel that are easy to find. This one is a solid lunch place, but could be better.
Cant say enough good things about Nish Nush... if youre looking for the perfect lunch option in downtown NYC, this is the one! The falafel platter was filling but light, extremely tasty, and super healthy. Not only are the portions huge especially for the price, but the wait time in store was very quick. One of my weekly go tos!
Good food, service and location. Entres are quite loaded, so I recommend to order only if you are able to share. Baklava was a complete let down, it felt stale.
Delicious tasting food with great service and a really large portion, I believe we got the falafel trio platter with the cauliflower and it was plenty for two ppl to share.
Delicious spot for vegetarians. We stopped for lunch and had the vegan shawarma and the falafel burger. Both were tasty, hot and generous portions. The baklava was also great - it was milder and not as sweet if that is your preference. Classy and unique vibe for a quick lunch or casual dinner.
Wonderfully fresh and delicious and Kosher certified!
This is my most fav spot for vegan Turksih options. Always pay a visit whenever Im in the neighborhood. Love the falafel!Finely minced falafel and smooth texture of hummus with mild acidity of the Israeli salad and pickles. Harmonious!
Seriously one of the best falafels I’ve ever had!I work in the neighborhood and come here often for lunch and never had a bad experience yet. The food is very flavorful and delicious. The falafel comes in 3 flavors and are some of the best I’ve ever had. The portion size is quite big and the platter can definitely be shared between two people. Highly recommend thi
Delicious, amazing and crispy falafels, the best I’ve had after Balade midtown, salads are super fresh, food portions are a large if you may not finish it if you usually have smaller plates. This place usually gets crowded,nothing to worry as their service is quite fast, I’ve been here once in 2017 and back in 2019, not disappointed as the food is really yummm, you won’t go wrong with anything on the menu, my fav is the falafel trio..
The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever tried! Truly an exceptional experience if you’re in NYC for a visit!! Their tea and lemonade are tasty! While having a lichee there I thought that being a vegetarian is not that boring as I thought it is!
The falafel burger has become one of the best vegetarian entrees Ive had the pleasure of eating. It would be best to order takeout as there is limited seating and the restroom is too dimly lit for my liking
Breads Bakery is the best bakery cafe in Tel Aviv and is also the best bakery cafe in Manhattan. We like the one just off Union Square but there is one across the street from Lincoln Center and they operate a kiosk in Bryant Park.I could go on and on about their strudel and chocolate babka as well as their other sundry goodies but hurry over to 18 East 16th Street and see for yourself. Limited seating despite recent improvements but most customers get on line to take their coffee and pastry to go so usually no problem getting a table.Just off Union Square, you can take a break from the green market or shopping on 5th Ave.Since returning from Israel , Ive been on a hunt for good Middle Eastern food complete with the side salads they bring to your table at every restaurant. I found it right in Tribeca, Nish Nush.Its a corner street specious restaurant with friendly staff who remember your name if you go more than once. They have a simple menu, but I recommend the deluxe falafel mixing all their items into one whole wheat pita with those pickled side salads inside. Its perfectly cooked and assembled creating a well balance falafel.To drink, they make their own mint lemonade and its to die for. If youre in the area, run here for lunch. Heck, if youre miles away, go out of your way to go!
Yummy veggie food! Casual and quick spot for great vegetarian food. Falafel was amazing! Friendly staff and good prices.
1) the people here are amazing. All so nice, happy and fun.2) the food is spectacular! Great spot for lunch. They give you a lot of food.3) the price is so affordable.My new favorite place for falafel.
Great food as always. Unfortunately my wife’s office is not in Tribeca anymore so that we don’t get to come here as often as we would love to.
Amazing three different flavours of falafel with tasty hummus! Loved the Baklava!! A definite stop if you like med food😊
Amazing falafel pitas here. They even have chili sauce and white sauces on the table. Baklava was great and not too sweet. Highly recommend it! We were there at lunch and only waited about 10 mins for food.
Excellent falafel, hummus, and salads. Wonderful lentil soup and iced tea with mint or ginger. Good prices and large portions - I took half of mine home for lunch the next day.
*Excellent* Falafel, Hummus aint bad either.So yeah, the falafel is really that good. Crunchy on the outside, soft - yet cooked! - on the inside, and light all around. They have a couple of styles (regular, spicy, etc.), and theyre all pretty damn good.The hummus aint bad either - serving as an excellent textural complement to the falafel, so thats good too.And yes, you can get this in a variety of forms - sandwiches, plates, Just The Falafel, etc. Mind you, you better be careful, since the sizes are pretty huge 😁Oh, one note, though there *are* tables here, its not really a eat in kinda place. The stools are too short for the tables, and youre better off standing and eating. So, either take-away, or StandAndEat...
I like their foods a lot. I wish the staff were a little warm. They appear quite matter-of-factly. Or, is it NY style?
Delicious food. Falafel looked like it was being made to order, and the pitas were gorgeous. Great place for a quick bite to eat.
Best falafel I’ve ever had!! Also vegan shawarma was so yummy !!
I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Nish Nush. The fast service, cleanliness of the restaurant, generous portion sizes, value, and amazingly delicious food really make this place a home run!I went with three friends, we all ordered different dishes and they all looked amazing. I ordered the Deluxe Sandwich as a platter (which costs $1 more) and a side of seasoned fries and it was absolutely terrific! I would highly reccomend this restaurant and I will definitely be going again!
Very friendly staff and super helpful. Food is delicious and gives a very large quantity. Nothing bad about anything except all things thumbs up 👍!
Fresh, full of flavour and filling. I got a deluxe pita which included all three of their falafel flavours made fresh to order. The salad and sauces were awesome and it all held together well. The restaurant is on the corner and opens to the street, I was alone so it was perfect to stop and watch TriBeCa go by
What a great find! This spacious and warm restaurant put nice effort into the atmosphere. The tables filled with dried chickpeas was a favorite. The menu is easy to navigate and offers great quality at lunch price! The Deluxe sandwich was superb. Each of the three falafels were crunchy on the outside with warm fluffy insides. The cucumbers and slaw were refreshing as well as the layer of hummus. The wheat pita provided was the perfect fluffy vessel to this light, yet heavy sandwich. I left feeling full but not bloated. PLEASE visit.
The hummus platter (starts with an M) is delicious. A lot of hummus for a decent price. I usually get it without oil and two whole wheat pitas. Hummus by itself is a meal, btw. Free water pitchers and a bathroom too. Pro-tip: Spin the seats to make them higher.
Im visiting NYC from the west coast. After an active day, I found this nice venue. The food is good with flavor. Also, freshly prepared without any delays. In addition, the atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. I wish there was one in my local neighborhood..
My husband and I loves this restaurant. Food is delicious..We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Consistently great food. Staff is friendly.
$10-15 for a low quality salad is unacceptable, ingredients look pretty sad and taste dull with no flavor. Sweetgreens is always consistent, top quality ingredients and totally tasty for the same $.
This place has the best deal!!! A ton of food for an affordable price. Always fresh! Always delicious. The staff are the nicest. Not to be missed.
I ate the best falafel sandwich ever. This place is too good. I would have definitely tried more options if I were there for more days in NY. Especially the falafel platter looked very good when I walked by to order.I think it is a good place for vegetarian options point of view too. Many good and really delicious Mediterranean vegetarian options.
Perfect location. Food was very delicious and tasty. The staff were very friendly and polite. Highly recommended them!!!
Food is great but I wish there were cheaper menu options or maybe a lunch special or something since they do get a lot of business.... Always busy at lunchtime.
Good food. Had the bean soup the other day. The best!
Good food, pleasant staff. try the vegan shwarma and falafel trio platter(vegan without the red cabbage, i think).
Quick and fantastic tasting veg food. Plenty of food in one of their sandwiches. Cool decor in and lovely and warm in the winter. Also there is loads of food in the pita sandwiches and the pita is constructed very well to keep all the food in, which means it’s very very easy to eat without making a big mess.
Went a little earlier than the lunch rush on a weekday (about noon). Ordered quickly and got a table just as fast. The place fills up, but it seemed like most patrons order to-go. Definitely impressed with quality of food and service. Would recommend!
- Entire menu is vegetarian friendly! 💃🏻- Self-serve restaurant- Do not miss the Shakshuka and the sandwiches
Really pleasant place, the food was tasty and the staff nice. Its a little small, but luckily there werent many people when I went there.
Sorry but when we came in today the food seemed not fresh at all… there was almost no AC and the whole experience was just disappointing
Amazing place for vegetarians. First time here during lunch, it was very busy but took about 7 minutes to get my Popeye Delight sandwich. Perfect for a student.
Great place, good looking clean restroom, love the food, a must visit vegetarian place in New York!
Very good food and service! Try omg and falafel trio plates, you will not be disappointed !!!!
I had the deluxe sandwich and this is the best falafel sandwich I had. The whole wheat bread was thick enough to hold the veggies and falafel together. Would definitely visit again.
Its fine. Definitely is not authentic, more of a fast food cafe thats Mediterranean food. Not actually one countrys cuisine. Pricey and a bit bland. But vegetarian, and fresh. Went during Pride, and they were Pride-friendly. But calling themselves Israeli? Sorry, cant promote genocide and be Pride-friendly.
Amazing falafel platter, such great and fresh food!!
Terrible Service. Ordered the Falafel Trio and Avocado Salad from Uber Eats …this is exactly what I received.
A nice place in a great location, I took the split pea soup and it was only 6 dollars for the large one. Great dish for winter’s day!
The falafels are delicious, affordable, and the staff is always SO NICE! I love love love this place
Solid lunch spot. Got the deluxe falafel sandwich and it was BOMB, good prices too, very filling will definitely go again.
It’s so yummy。I do love falafel。I’ll be here definitely when I come to NYC again.
Im not a vegetarian but I love this place. The food is so fresh and has always been good in our 4 visits there. Best Mediterranean food Ive ever had. Tried the Popeyes Delight sandwich, Shakshuka, the Falafel Platter yet. Will try others on the next trip there.
Easy casual spot for falafel. Portions are big and delicious. Great for vegan, vegetarian or kosher.
Fabulous Falafel, delicious! Best deal in the usually eye-wateringly expensive Tribeca
One of the best lunches anywhere in the city. Fast and absolutely delicious. And given the neighborhood, not expensive either.
Very friendly environment, food is always awesome here highly recommended for a quick bite.
Amazing falafel, hummus and pita! I recommend the platter that has falafel trios. Super fresh whole wheat pita too. Would totally get food here again.
Yummy! The best FALAFEL in TOWN! Fresh soft Pita Bread, Hummus, Salads and more! I cant wait to go for the weekend brunch! Kosher & Vegitarian too!
Be careful, their coconut water bottle has expired on June 15 2022
Excellent food and quality. Great service. Neima was the server. Everything tasted fresh. I got the lentil soup and falafel plate.They have a small selection of beer and Nesher from Israel.Highly recommended this place.
We ordered the trio sampler and it was amazing. All their falafels are flavourful along with their sauces and salad. Their chicken is also amazing and worth trying. Great prices and quick service. Covid protocols are followed through and through.
We tried their spicy falafel, classic falafel and falafel burger. Loved the falafel burger and everything else was tasty as well but have had better. Overall a perfect place to have a quick bite and tasty food. Staff is very helpful. Street parking around but might be difficult to find.
Absolutely the best falafel I have ever tasted!!!!
***FIVE STAR RESTAURANT***I must say I come here regularly and I just love the falafel trio dish it melts in your mouth and the customer service is very professional thanks to the manager NaemahThis is the place to go to if you visit New York City.Thank me later
Cute place. They serve fresh vegetarian and vegan dishes in gigantic portions! The staff at the counter are fun and friendly.
Good place for lunch. It is a bit pricey for the portion of food served.
Kosher falafel spot on the outskirts of Tribeca. Fast service and good amount of food for the money. I go for the Chili Falafel pita as my regular.Is it the best falafel Ive had? Meh, its not bad. Come to 5th Ave in Bay Ridge if thats your mission.
This place has amazing Mediterranean food and no kidding but I can have it every day of the week. I have tried most of the things from this place and their best dishes are the deluxe sandwich, hummus (very creamy) and baba ghanoush. Do visit you are in the neighborhood.
Food is quite delicious and you get a ton of it. one entree is often enough for 2 people.
Their work speaks for itself, and their customer service is top-notch too.
As Israeli I can say the food is ok if you miss home. But not the best I had
For the food, could be 5 stars! Really good food, 2 could eat this meal, its a really great price(was 15, with tax!). The problem was the music, cozy local, good music, very friendly service, but a really annoying techno music.
Love Nish Nush, the trio platter is excellent value and plenty food.
Absolutely amazing food!Great variety of dishes
Excellent food and great service!Highly recommend to check this place out
Great vegetarian food, great music! Best time to eat here is when you’re hungry
Not too shabby but wasnt super impressed by the price, not aweful for the quality overall though
I really love this place! But the last 3 times I ordered HALLOUMI SALAD to go, they forgot to put walnuts! Its my favorite thing about the salad please be consistent lol
Decent place to get nice Israeli food!The food and drinks are decent!The place is clean, but however they have tiny seating area! The service is pretty fast and friendly! They have amazing falafel sandwiches, very nice salads! They have really good ginger and turmeric lemonade!
The best! I eat here several times each month. Convenient, delicious and great all-around service.
Good Israeli food. Very generous portions.
Delicious falafel with different flavor varieties. Affordable! My falafel sandwich plus a drink was $12. Favorite falafel was the spinach one.
The one falafel in NYC that feels like home.Fresh, real pita, not skimping on salads, and even the Hummus is great.
The platter was fantastic. The spicy falafel was so good. Hummus was good. Huge platter and great price. Enjoyed that it was all vegetarian. Needed a break from meat. Ask for extra pita though. Make some great sandwiches on your own.
Cheap, fresh, flavor, filling. Amazing customer service.I ordered the platter that had variety and it was absolutely delicious. I would like to add, as I know mediterranean food, everything was fresh FRESH FRESH!! the chopped cucumbers were not chewy or soggy indicative they were made at least several hours in advance not overnight. It was spacious, clean, open, good energy spot! Great recommendation from Teddys guide cheers!
Passed by while trying to decide between a vegan restaurant for my fiance and something non vegan for me, haha. I got the chili falafel burger and it was absolutely amazing. Nice little median for both of us
Very good option for a fast and tasty middle eastern lunch!
Food: 5Atmosphere: 5Customer Service: 5Value: 5Avg: 5Notes: delicious, quality ingredients, friendly staff, cool chickpea tables
Great location and healthy choices for began and vegetarians! A great place for a quick bite. Try the vegan shawarma, their hummus is REALLY good not garlicky like some other places in town. They sell bottled beer and some of the beat all natural Giner Beer in town. Their service is great and they are very helpful.It can get a bit loud due to space and crowds, but it’s easy to avoid rush hour. Enjoy!
Nice outdoor dining provided. Staff was very nice and properly wearing masks. Food was fabulous. Got the falafel trio and the vegan shawarma. So good!
Food is great, price is good and the service is fast! I would also consider it a healthy option!
Amazing food and decent service! The food is always plentiful (especially the platters), fresh, and very flavorful. The sauces are a wonderful addition and I love the fact that there are additional sauce bottles on the tables. Their shakes are amazing aw well, especially the chocolate date. Just hope that they get a larger space with more seating as well as a location more uptown.
Lebneh and Fries are yum together ( try it)The usual middle eastern mezzeVegetarian and Vegan friendlyUncomfortable seating
Pretty great vegetarian spot. The hummus is clearly fantastic, as was the falafel. We sat at a high table. There was not a ton of seating. Its not a fancy place, but the portions were great and it had a nice vibe so I will be back.
The best, creamiest hummus. Incredible vegetarian Mediterranean cuisine. We will definitely be back!
Nice surprise close to our hotel, this typical lower east side spot offers great food (do not miss the rice salad) and excellent coffee from early morning till late night. Prices are quite modest for the quality considering we are in NYC!! Very relaxed with nice music and great service. Do not miss it if you want try something original and typically lower east side!! Nice bar, great vibe. Food was amazing !!! But best thing they offer is definitely the fries! DON’T MISS ON THE FRIES
Managed to try Nish Nush out yesterday as it had been highly recommended. Definitely wasn’t disappointed. Being vegetarian Ive tasted quite a few falafels in my time and the ones served at Nish Nush are right up there. Loved all the super fresh garnishes served in my Deluxe sandwich too. Expect me to be a regular when Im in town.
Great falafel trio platter!
This is my Favorite falafel in manhattan and they have Israeli snack bar. Recommitted to everyone
Great falafel sandwich and the side of cauliflower was very good.
So delicious! We picked up food here and then had a picnic along the river in Rockefeller Park. Do not walk out of here without hummus - creamy, delicious and satisfying.
Was looking for a veg friendly place for dinner in the area and Im so glad we came in here, price is good and you get plenty of super tasty food! Tasty food, super fast service, easy, friendly and nice atmosphere. We had hummus and falafel platter and a delicious sandwich, everything was good, but the whole wheat pita bread is one of the best I’ve ever had.
Hands down, the best falafel I have ever eaten. I recommend the deluxe pita sandwich. This features all three falafel varieties offered, spicy red pepper, spinach/mushroom and traditional. The result is three distinct chapters of deliciousness as you consume the sandwich. Fresh vegetables and an amazing roasted chopped eggplant round everything out.There is a great energy amongst the friendly and professional staff. While eating, I overheard the manager telling a guest how much he loves and appreciates his employees. I plan to revisit this place often.
Pitta, falafel & hummus heaven.
Great find while walking. Very good falafel, salads, hummus platters. Vegan food available (did not try it). Good service with a smile. Very clean and reasonable priced. Larger portions than in similar places.
Pretty good falafel. It was recommended to me by someone who said it was the best falafel they ever had, so it didnt live up to the hype but it was good.
The best falafel and baklava Ive ever had! Had been out all day and saw other high ratings and took a chance...So glad we did! All fresh, everything was full of flavor, would go back if we could!! Highly recommend!
Sooooo tasty! Inexpensive, quick and clean.My friend and I both ordered the Falafel Trio Platter which is about $13 with tax. It tasted amazingly fresh. We shouldve shared because the portion was huge.Id highly recommend this entree!
Sadly disappointed. Ordered the falafel platter for lunch at work and the food was average 😐 ...definitely have had better Mediterranean food at other places around where I work. I think it also had to do with the spices used?The flavors just weren’t working for me. The falafels were ok - have also had better ones before (even at food carts like Rafiquis). Unfortunately won’t be ordering from here again.
They have falafel with different flavors and its always fresh. They very fast service and great customer service. During weekdays lunch they are crowded and busy but very efficient on getting your order ready and you out quickly. The lemonada drink is awesome, must try.
Very very disappointed. According to the listing the restaurant is open til 10pm every day. Coming here to dinner was one of the primary reasons we came to the city tonight only to find it closed at 8:30pm. Not cool!
Best vegetarian food. Every dish is well seasoned and keep you wanting more. Very earthy and hearty sandwiches and soups all nestled in a cute corner café vibe
The food looks good in pictures not in reality taste wise. the falafel is taste less .Plus the bread is soggy you cannot handle the Sandwich in your hand the right way . Overall I’m not coming back. It’s a horrible experience what a shame
So happy with what I had: Classic Forever Sandwich!
This place is special: The food is delicious and the service is superb. Im not a vegetarian but might convert after eating here.To my fellow carnivores: Give it a try. You wont be disappointed! I had the falafel trio (under 13 bucks).To the manager: GIve Karen a raise. She convinced me to stay, and Im glad I did!
The best healthy restaurants in the area!! Great falafel, great stuff, friendly. And all the healthy options u want ... lots of good selection. Must stop by here. And they also have Israeli beer!! Love it! Thank u Nish Nush!
100 % vegetarian restaurants are rare. We found this place and it was worth it. Lots of food for the price they charge. Tasty and right to the Mediterranean flavors. Ill recommend starting with one plate for two and order more if needed.
Generous portions.. tasty vegan foods.
Its a bit crowded but the food is very good and the workers are nice. I really liked the chili falafel burger. I put extra spicy sauce on it. The sauce isnt crazy spicy. 12 dollars for the burger.
So delish! Could have shared with someone else, got the falafel trio platter was about $13 and can feed two! Such great food and walked in and ordered and walked out in less than 10mins at 1:30pm on a Friday afternoon. They were packed but fast!
My family and I went to this restaurant believing that it was just another Mediterranean restaurant. We hadnt eaten vegetarian Mediterranean food, and we were a bit skeptical at first. However, we were very suprised when we got our food---it was delicious! The humus and extra sides were incredibly good. There was one dish in particular that had a side of cauliflower that was cooked to perfection! It was sooo good. I would HIGHLY recommend this to everyone---even if youre not that big on veggies.
Woman at counter was very rude and seemed overwhelmed by her day. Doesnt mean you take it out on customers. Also mask policy was not mandatory which made me concerned to even stay. Would give this place ZERO stars if possible. Got to be careful during covid. Especially in a city with so many tourists.
Falafels are super authentic. Pita is doughy and fresh. In fact, everything is fresh and flavorful. You cannot go wrong with this place. I could live here for the rest of my days and never get sick of it. You get what you pay for and then some.
Vegetarian falafel and Israeli / middel eastern food. Best falafel ever, with three flavors including one that is quite spicy. All the salads, hummus, labneh, taouleh, baba ganoush are quite good. Wide selection and reasonable prices, especially for Tribeca. Choice between whole wheat and regular pita. Large servings on platters. Comes with tahini dressing and pickles.
A large number of different varieties of small plate options are available at very reasonable and genuine price. I was little bit in hurry and I was hungry too, I came at this place and placed my order they served just in 20 minutes that was awesome and the food was too much delicious as well. Now, I want t recommend you guys go and try!
Solid food for a reasonable price (which is hard to find in this part of town). The portions are generous (the falafel trio is big enough to split 2 ways), and the spicy falafel had a nice kick to it. Definitely would eat again.
Awesome falafels here! Very big salads and mostly everything is Gluten Free. The food is fresh and healthy and the service very fast. Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful.
The speed at which the line moves here can be overwhelming, so be sure to look at the menu online or grab one the moment you get there so you can peruse it while in line. When it was time for me to order, though, the server was patient as I finalized my choices. Food was prepared in a timely fashion after ordering. The food was tasty.
Amazing falafels! They have varieties of falafel and it’s a delightful experience for vegetarians. They are quick and clean. For a place close to WTC it has ample space to accommodate at least 20 people. If you are around WTC then it’s a must visit. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing. They sell healthy vegetarian food. And!!!! It taste great!!!! Everything they have taste good, so, you wont have to worry about being familiar or unfamiliar with their food. Youll love it. And theyre polite! Because that counts!!
Best falafels ever. Delicious food with quick service and ample quantity, all reasonably priced. If you get their falafel plates then you will most likely have enough food for 2 days. Note: They are a vegetarian joint, but meat eaters wont be disappointed.
Ordered the classic falafel - priced very well. But the sandwich got very dry as soon as i went past the sauces on the top. The flavors were there and i liked the salad in the falafel too. Ill go here again but maybe ill ask them to put the sauces spread out towards the bottom and top...
Since returning from Israel, Ive been on a hunt for good Middle Eastern food complete with the side salads they bring to your table at every restaurant. I found it right in Tribeca, Nish Nush.Its a corner street specious restaurant with friendly staff who remember your name if you go more than once. They have a simple menu, but I recommend the deluxe falafel mixing all their items into one whole wheat pita with those pickled side salads inside. Its perfectly cooked and assembled creating a well balance falafel.To drink, they make their own mint lemonade and its to die for. If youre in the area, run here for lunch. Heck, if youre miles away, go out of your way to go!
One of the best falafel I have ate ! If you are interested in variety then go for falafel trio which comes with salad and 3 types of falafel! Their spicy green sauce (schug) is wroth adding to your sandwich.
The food was beyond expectations. Ordered the $13 falafel plate, which I initially thought was over priced until I received a loaded plate of food (half of which I took home because I was full!) The cashier who took my order was very friendly and was mumi tasking taking orders and helping Uber data pickup. Excellent service and food makes this place a must go to lunch/dinner any day of the week
Expensive but the platter is usually enough for me to have lunch two days. Place gets packed for lunch and not many seats but I usually get to go anyway. Good place to go when Im in the mood for falafels.
Great place! A little overpriced but the portions are huge.
Food is good served in time. The rustic look of the place is nice but a little cleaning required (Tables were sticky). I liked the place their high chair seating arrangement is okay ( not to comfy) can accomodate around 15 people or so. For a grab and go they serve good food and portion size. The location is accesible and well connected not sure about parking though.
Great place! I came here thinking it would be all white and clean and quick serve like most fast casual restaurants but this place looks downright cool. It has lots of character, wood and metal and looks generally bad-ass. I came for lunch, I had the shakshuka, which i recommend, theres a green chutney on the table and they give you pita with the dish. My friend had the falafel trio and I have to say the hummus was outstanding. Falafels were light and crispy too and everything tasted really fresh. I rarely make call outs to tomatoes, but the ones in the shakshuka were incredible.Ill be back Nish Nush. thanks for the Nosh!
The place is dirty, the table that we sat on was sticky and it was just next to the wall which was very dusty..... the falafel was also bland, no taste really...... also the vegan Shawarma needs improvenent, seems like it was tossed with Indian curry powder... and thats about it.
Very authentic Israeli place, highly recommended
Finally checked this place out. I was a little meh on trying it as it displaced a local spot and it only seemed to serve falafel. Well, I should have tried it earlier because it is fantastic! I took a shot at the red chili pepper falafel sandwich which was delicious. The ingredients are fresh, well definitely taste fresh, and the prices arent too bad. You really feel as though you are getting high quality cheap eats because, well,its true. The falafel list is pretty extensive and they also have a platter menu -- heck,you can even blend your own hummus. On top of that, they have a nice selection of beers and make a few house specialty drinks (nonalcoholic). Be advised, coming during lunch can result in long lines and cramped spaces.
Altogether a nice place to get a falafel sandwich. I have tried their spicy falafel, which has a little bit of heat. They only have a choice of white or wheat pita bread, but their sandwiches come packed with veggies and a side of tasty pickles. A hip corner restaurant to visit for a quick bite, it may be better to call your order in ahead of time if you may be in a hurry.
We ordered platter which is good for 2 people. Portion size is huge. I came here for the first time and loved it. Price is reasonable. Would like to come again.
Food is mediocre at best. The quality of ingredients is substandard, especially their breads. Service is uneven. This time was especially terrible. My friend was asked if his name is also that of a religious figure. He was asked where he’s from. The cashier’s behaviour was weird. Just plain weird. I’m never going back again.
Generous amount of food for decent price. And most importantly freshhhhh and delicioussss
One of the best places in lower Manhattan for pure vegetarian Middle Eastern cusine. Casual, contemporary setup. Decently priced. So much variety of Falafel! Servings are on the large portion side. Water is free :-) Open till late.
Delicious home-style meals prepared by Chef Abdul. Try the lamb kabsaah, a generous portion of tender lamb over rice. The cilantro sauce is prepared fresh and the Yemeni bread is baked daily. Gracious hospitality and fine food.
On a nice day when all doors are open this place feels like youre in Israel. Ive been here only once and the food unfortunately didnt feel the same. Both the pita and falafel were dry. Maybe I was just unlucky.
Love their falafel wraps. Nothing too fancy, but exactly what you want for a normal day lunch/dinner. I am a vegetarian and this place doesnt serve any meat, so thats a plus
This place has great falafel sandwiches and vegan shwarma.Their line can get long and waiting can be hard since the space is so small so I would suggest to order ahead if youre planning on take out.
Really good vegeterian restaurant with multiple options to chose from. Must try: trio falafel, burger and seasoned fries
If you are looking for a quick bite to eat and something satisfying and fulfilling do not hesitate please visit this place because its so amazing.I love this place! Ive eaten here twice.I had the falafel both times with lots of green sauce and its sooooooooo good.
Good healthy place to eat it while in Rockefeller Center. The menu is limited, but thats okay because you dont need many choices.I had the protein pick three combo and it was affordable. The naan bread would have tasted better if it was fresh, but the juices and other fresh choices made up the difference.
Amazing falafel fresh out of the fryer. They season their food well and dont skimp on hummus. Have it pocket or plate style, I live it both ways.
Eating my way through NYCs best falafel lists & thus far this is the best Ive tried. Fresh, fast, tasty, friendly and quite inexpensive. They have bowls, pita pockets & a huge array of sides.
Tasty vegan sharwama.. and huge portion! Great for sharing. I also recommend their babaganoush.. so tasty 😋
5/15/2020May everyone know that... Thank you very much for your continuing support to our frontliners. The food you provide to them are truly wonderful and are well appreciated. May you be bless a lot in return.
This is seriously the very best eatery you will find in downtown Manhattan. The decor, ambience, and authentic taste are unparalleled! The portions are huge with generous helpings of onside salads, and drinks are made while u wait.And to all those complaining about the one pita with the platter and then $1 for each additional, I say, get a grip on yourself. You would hard pressed to prove you can eat all that in one sitting, so between you and another friend or two I bet you manage to squeeze another dollar out of that pocket! Stop complaining and start living!
Got an office party catered by Nish Nush. Excellent Pita, Falafel, Salad and Hummus. I felt I ate a lot of healthy stuff that is generally low in calories compared to fast food.
Love this place. Great food. Awesome falafel.
I now have a new found love of falafels. I had Purple Rain Salad. It was absolutely delicious. Maybe because I love beets and pecans. I git Kamlata olives added. It was generous portion with spinach, cucumbers and tomatoes. I tried the 3 types of falafels. I like the green the best. Im not sure if i had the spinach and mushrooms because i didnt taste either spinach or mushrooms. The only thing dislike is I dont have too much to choose from because i only like one type of hummus. I wish they have more flavors of hummus. It is pricer than I thought.
One of the worst representations of Israeli food Ive ever had. The basic flavors are there but the preparation and service are extremely lacking.Ordered a traditional dish called MESABACHA, supposed to be served warm (even says so on the menu) but what I received was a giant bowl of watered down, cold tahini with maybe 7 chickpeas in it. It came with one Pita, no fork, no napkins, frozen mint lemonade was much too icy to drink and it took 30 minutes before it melted enough to be drinkable.Service was also pretty impatient and annoyed with my requests for utensils. Probably not coming back here again.
I would give 3.5! not bad not magnificent but decent. The food is fresh and the roasted pepper falafel packed a punch of flavor but everything else just pretty much tasted the same, but I guess cuz Im still a meat fiend lol...Im sorry haha..Im trying to love vegetarian food though! The item I ordered was probably the most worth meal though, the Falafel Trio for $11. I shared with my friend and I was still filled up! Also, a bit hard to find a seat for lunch time!
Awesome spot for lunch! Ingredients have always been super fresh. I would strongly recommend any of the “Red Hot Chili” menu items
Absolutely delicious and flavorful falafel with speedy service and fair prices! The popeye is my favorite. Check them out if your in the area.
This spot is my favorite falafel spot in all of NYC. I finally found a restaurant that makes kick ass falafel and a superb spicy shakshuka.The decor is cute with the tables having dried chickpeas in it and a very rustic exterior.The purple rain salad, deluxe sandwich and shakshuka is our go to meals here.Service is awesome with Shay - the owner, being on site and always happy to help out. So is his staff.
Still an excellent tasting, natural falafel (try the deluxe) but I was disappointed to see that their sandwiches have decreased in size, very little stuffing. And the prices went up so I will go less often.
Their menu is not ISRAELI food it’s Palestinian food
I liked it... The falafel and salad was good. Minus one star for heavy handed use of salt... Tasted like the Dead Sea. Be sure to take advantage of the free tap water.
Only my second visit. I had a classic falafel pita. I dont was it because I was sick and hungry but it was so gooood. It is or was cashless but I saw someone pay with cash.
Dont fret if its busy, it is worth the wait. Ill return with my relatives. The bill wont shock you. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I liked.
Today was my second time having lunch at this spot on Reade & Church St and I think Im in love. I had the red lentil soup, falafel and w/w pita. My server was an absolute sweetheart. I will definitely return.
YUM! I ordered from here for lunch at least once a week when I was working in FiDi. The sandwiches are filling and the prices are great. Two thumbs up!
Food is good but this is a warning about the falfilu plate. i got this thinking it would be mostly falafel, but its mostly hummus. like a party sized plate of hummus, its almost absurd. Consider emphasizing that this dish is mostly hummus
Very good food and very nice service. They work hard but smiling and are very helpful. You can really taste how fresh ingredients are. Perfect place to enjoy falafen and hummus!
So Chris helped me. He gave me what I asked for but I had asked for the wrong sandwich. Well I tried his sandwich; the salad chick peas on wheat and I was blown away. I have a new favorite sandwich. I usually get the classic but the other one was better. (Im probably mixing them up again but)...get yourself a soup and a sandwich. Very Healthy.
The portions are huge! Bring friends because you can definitely split a plate between two people and still have some leftover.Seating is limited and i feel like the seats/stools should be just a little bit higher to meet the table but thats a small gripe.
This is a quick, yummy place to stop and grab a bite while shopping and/or working in the area.I had the Red Hot Chili (whole wheat pita with falafel, spicy hummus, Israeli salad and pickles). It was DELISH!! Everything was served perfectly - not too sloppy or stuffed in or pieces falling out as you bite into it.I also sampled the Cajun fries - now, as a person who LOVES spicy food, this was cute. If a dish doesnt have scotch bonnet peppers infused then it isnt hot at all in my opinion but for those of you who rarely eat spicy food, this maybe spark the palette a bit.Beer always goes great but I also had the homemade mint iced tea - very refreshing. Everything came up to $23 (spicy pita, Cajun fries, blue moon beer and iced tea). Thats a bit pricy but I guess thats the going rate for the area.
The platter is just a big bowl of hummus. Not nice, just stodgy and boring. Also when I bought it they suggested to me that I should buy more pita as it was a lot of hummus (before I found out that it was a big sloppy bowl of hummus - i thought it was just part of the platter). Give me a enough pita for the dish dont charge me $1 for 1 extra pita if you know you dont give enough. not good
I LIKE! Usually prefer meat in my meals but the Popeye Deluxe Sandwich killed it! Ordered an additional egg. My gf took the Falafel Trio, was more than enough. FYI: Vegetarian food!
The falafel balls are excellent. But the bread is too thick for my personal liking. Huge portions and friendly service!
Im not vegan but I could eat here everyday. The food was delicious and extremely reasonable. Seating is on stools with high tables so dont expect to linger.
Delicious falafel and hummus. Always busy because of the great food, but theyre so quick that its not a long wait. Definitely get the Deluxe or the Spicy.

2022-04-15Generous portions and flavorful falafel in many shapes and sizes. Spicy, spinach, and regular - all worth a try. Added bonus is the whole pita, not something you find in every Mediterranean restaurant. Seats a bit eclectic - and the chickpea tables inside may not be for everyone, but the food shines through!

2022-06-05The food was good, service was quick, portion sizes were good and it was affordable. Great place if you’re looking for vegan Mediterranean food. The Lemonana tasted good, but was a little too sweet. Outdoor seating is also nice and they have a water dispenser.

2022-03-13Absolutely delicious vegetarian/vegan Mediterranean/Israeli food. Their hummus tasted authentic. And enough room to sit down and eat. Very pleasant and upbeat vibe to the place. Felt like I was back in Tel Aviv.

2021-11-20Wow!!!! Delicious, fresh, generous portions, and great service! I ordered the Trio Falafel Platter and it was really quite impressive to open up! Everything is fresh and excellent quality. Nothing negative to say except I wish I had received more pickles! But aside from that, I will definitely recommend and will return to Nish Nush.

2022-02-23Excellent service at this location, food was fresh and served very quickly. Portions are great, and food was delicious. For vegan, gluten free peeps like me, this hit the spot without the worry. Not greasy. Just fresh and yum. Dont have the words but those two should be enough. I wish they had a Nish Nush in Brooklyn. Eyal Hen, Eyal Asulin, Shai Sudai call me, I would love to help open one in Brooklyn please!

2022-07-17Lunch time visit was a busy and frenetic take-out scene, lending a feeling of this must be good. Although high-boy seating is limited, Looking around, everybody had something that looked great. The menu is chock full of great selections.
