Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 I wanted to try this since I never had Israeli food and it’s highly rated & a bit different than the usual stuff you get. I went around 8:45pm on a weekend & could get a places to sit easily. It, however, filled up quickly after that. I had Vegan Shawarma. The taste was good. The only downside was the oil that accumulated at the bottom below the bread. But overall it was good & filling.

Located in proximity to public transportation, I mean it's Manhattan. The shakshuka was reasonably priced and it tasted very nice. The pita was also high quality.

One word- it was a wonderful experience. All veg menu with so many delicious options and so pocket friendly. I visited Nish Nush based on a friend’s recommendation and must say, it was worth visiting. Everything that we ordered was delicious. I could not understand the names in menu even being on English, but staff there was so helpful who patiently answered all my queries and helped to make choices for my dinner on the day. It is one of very few places that also offer drinking water free of cost and that also adds to the good service. I do recommend the place. Do try the soups, if you are visiting there.

We were hungry and uncertain about where to eat (first time in this area). I checked the map and discovered a nearby restaurant. I'm glad I found it, we loved it! Everything was amazing, especially my Ginger Lemonade. When we arrived, it was raining, so the restaurant was empty. A few minutes later, it filled up with other customers. The ambiance was nice, with the music playing at just the right volume.

I love it here. The falafel is delicious, the pita is fluffy. I don’t remember what I got but it’s the most basic falafel sandwich they have and it was amazing. Perfectly filling, with Israeli salad, tahina, falafel and pickles, more tahina and shug on the side. Great affordable kosher option in Manhattan.

The soup was so good and I love soup. They have real vegan options. I liked the kale salad bowl, I just didn't like the mushrooms because they taste like bought mushrooms that had been sitting in brine too long or too much vinegar and rubbery. Everything else I order was great! The falafel burger was soooo good. The humus with mushrooms was amazing. The staff was amazing too.

It is Israeli-Moroccan influenced food ( majorly Israeli). I really had an amazing experience. I totally recommend for everyone to try. I ordered to go but later decided to stay and eat that’s why you can see them in to go boxes and not in the platter.

Great casual Mediterranean vegetarian food used to go here 2-3 times a week when I worked in FIDi. It's nice to see that the quality has not dropped off at all.
