So I popped in here a couple months ago because I was craving some of that NYC street meat lamb/chicken over rice stuff. I was sort of stoked looking at the menu prices because it seemed really reasonable. Unfortunately it was an old menu and their basic plates are 10+ bucks now.

Placed an order, they said to come in 20 minutes. Took 40+ to get the order despite them having a relatively large kitchen staff and not many other pickup customers. Not a single person our of their staff was wearing a mask.

Food was really boring and IMO not really worth the money, totally destroyed my hopeful NYC street cart hopes.

Sorry Grill 36. :frowning:

Here’s my take on this place and it’s probably unfair, because I’ve only been once …PLUS I’m going to sound like a pompous ass.

If you have nothing to judge by, it is different and fairly tasty. If you have experience with arabic/middle eastern food this place is not going to do it for you. The flavors, the portions, the sauces… All good, but just a little off.

I should probably give it another try. And I hope I’m wrong.

I don’t think any of that sounded pompous. I think I was being a little harsh saying “really boring.” It’s fine, just doesn’t have that NYC street meat oomph. Serving is a little bit on the small side though.

Looking back at the pics from 2019 it looks like prices have gone up 20-30% and portions shrank about 20%, which is what mostly left me feeling meh about the place combined with the excessive wait time. I wasn’t full after I finished my meal (plus a shared falafel app).
