Delicious food in a small place. But this restaurant is no longer at 150 fulton. It is expected to be open somewhere in a nearby location.

Best Falafel in Manhattan 10 / 10

This may be the best falafel in Manhattan. Only six months old, this place is developing a following. Opened by a Lebanese and a Syrian, the food is prepared fresh every day and served fresh. The attention to food details for a take-out restaurant is amazing and one can taste it. The service is courteous and fast and questions about dish ingredients are politely answered. The food areas are also kept quite clean. For a healthy, fast or slow, cheap meal, Alfanoose may be number one.
