Spice Brothers

Really enjoyed the delicious cuisine.Anything to add Joel?IdkYou have to have?It was great

This place is awesome! We turned up around 1pm on a Sunday and were the only ones there for a few minutes before it started to fill up. Beautiful and clean inside with plenty of space to sit, plenty of napkins and water. Everything you need. The folks who worked there put our order together quickly and it was brought out to the table promptly. The other people there were loudly remarking as to how delicious their order was. The pita comes out hot and full of fresh vegetables and delicious sauces, unlike other spots that sometimes hand you a cold pita with hot falafel inside. The spice level is amazing and so tasty, distinct from any similar place I've ever tried. We had the sabich and the falafel pitas and both were delicious. My sabich was so tasty, I would definitely have it again. We were also impressed by the range of drink options. For sure worth a taste and a return visit!

This shawarma beats out anything I had in Israel (or anywhere else, which goes without saying). I haven't agreed with Pete Wells of the New York Times all that often, but his article on this place was absolutely spot on. The focus he gave to the spices behind the meat, based on the focus the chef gives to the spices behind the meat, made me visit - I'm not a meat lover, but am a spice nerd, and being able to enumerate the spices behind every bite was a extra-sensorily pleasant experience.The meat may not be the centerpiece, but it's cooked as though it is. After all, you can't even be a vehicle without being able to drive. It would be impressive on its own, but the layers of spices are thick as coats of paint, and kept from being too tongue-coating by the tahine and amba.I also ordered a side of eggplant, thinking they'd be chip-adjacent, like, for snacking, but they were thick and meaty. You probably couldn't go wrong stuffing them right in your sandwich, but they're a bit tough to eat solo.

This is a fantastic place for a delicious, inexpensive meal. I had the falafel pita, which came loaded with vegetables and a few sauces. The falafel was perfectly crispy, and the toppings added a variety of fresh, spicy, and creamy flavors. I also had a side of fried eggplant, which was just alright - it would probably be better in the context of an entire sandwich. The pita by itself is $12, which is a phenomenal deal. I'll definitely be back.

Went out of my way to try this place and was underwhelmed. I got the Half and Half option on rice. The chicken was dry, the red meat gristly and the whole bowl just lacked flavor oomph to tie everything together.

The shawarma was excellent as long as you don't mind it being a bit spicy, and the hummus was perfectly creamy and had none of the chalky consistency or astringent undertone that sometimes mars it.

I am a fan of the spice mixtures from La Boite, so I was excited when the feinschmeker told me about the new resto in St. Marks. As good a shwarma as you'll encounter in the Big Apple. Tender, well seasoned meat, fresh veggies, the right amount of sauce, toasted pita. A pickled pepper. At $17.00 it better be great. It was.

Really delicious food! I cannot wait to try more of it. I just wish the food came out hot, and that they had actual plates for the pricing. Tried both the East and West platters- they are the perfect combination of food, imo! Friendly guy at register. Thanks!

I picked up a Too Good To Go order for $6 and got the Shawarma West. Let me just say ... this was probably the best chicken shawarma I've ever had. It seems unassuming from the outside but it's PACKED with so many flavorful ingredients. The harissa, hummus, tomatoes, onion, and all the sauces and spices were so delicious. It was also a pretty hefty portion .. it looked small at first but you realize how much is actually packed in there. Fantastic food and makes me want to go back immediately.

Excellent shawarma in a well-composed sandwich with a good mix of sauces and veggies. Outdoor seating, which is a real bonus these days. Not a five star review for a few reasons, easily addressable so this is meant as constructive feedback:-High prices -- $15 for a not huge sandwich doesn't really bother me, but what does bug me is that the only water they sell is $5 and there's no way to get tap water. -The bathroom is right there clearly visible yet they refuse to let customers use it. Good way to alienate customers for no reason. -They no longer serve the beef and lamb shawarma, seemingly permanently (?), but the menu hasn't been updated to reflect this.
