This place has the best lentil soup anywhere. It is authentic to the owner's recipe from his home (Tunisia) Americans have chicken noodle soup and The Middle East or rather Africa has the staple of Lentil soup..it is thick, yummy, homemade well seasoned and absolutely delicious. Everything here in this tiny spot is ama-zing!!! Brooklyn heights has bland food with overrated prices this quaint spot for locals and all in neighborhood offer finally FLAVOR....AND VERY AFFORDABLE PRICES... The chicken Sharma is very juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Hummus is authentic and made fresh daily. Everything is made fresh, combine, flavor and price it's a Devine eating event. The cold salads are delicious everything has the right amount of seasoning and fresh ingredients. The lentil soup is a squash color the right color and it's the only soup made but it could be a standalone meal daily. It goes nicely with any entree and platter and sandwiches. In winter season it's like wearing a comfy scarf that stays put across the neck...it exactly hits the spot... In other seasons it is still a delicious meal. The food is also very clean eating, meaning it tastes great and is also healthy and digests well I suffer from the occasional sour stomach and am very sensitive to foods that are too greasy, fatty etc. My only complaint is that I wished the pita was slightly thicker. The thin pita used often breaks apart when eating Sharma's From the tahini sauce made fresh, to other delicious food nothing is bad here. As a Brooklyn heights person that has lived there forever, including family members in neighborhood if you want something specific in neighborhood you frequent particular places for particular food options. This bagel place, has solid bagels but this other place has better coffee...it's really terrible...so to have a place that you can always rely on for quality and something delicious besides costing as much rent!!!! This place is the place... It's been around for over 30years!!!

Great place,big plate and an owner with hear of a gold.We were passing by and found this place

Best Kafta and chicken swarma in all NY coupled with affordable prices thisbcant be beat. Jamel was super courteous and kind and helpful and made everything on the spot. Its not a sit in although i ate in but you will not try any mediterranean food thatbis tasteier or more home made authentic.

Great food I love getting the chicken shawarma, I love the owner he's very funny and very wholesome, always puts a smile on my face. I've been going here for 4 years and it's always my go to!

The falafels are amazing as always! Been coming here for years. The price went up but the quality is the same. It's a one person operation so it's as fast as it can be. There are tables in front if you want to sit down else most do take out

One of the best cheap eats around in Brooklyn Heights! It's hard to beat a fresh falafel pita for just $5 AND they take Apple Pay. Is it the best falafel sandwich I've had? No, but it is a solid option and the falafel is made fresh to order. The salad topping options are a little lackluster-- there's Shirazi salad and iceberg lettuce and not much else. I'd really like some pickles or a beet salad to add some color and texture to the pita. The space is a little small and worn down but that's part of the charm. Heights Falafel has been a stalwart neighborhood eatery for the past two and half decades and they definitely deserve the hype. The staff are always kind and quick.

Very solid place to eat in BK heights - prices are good the Chicken salad was 9 bucks and falafel was 5!

The greatest of the great - for $5.05 and in 50 seconds flat, you can get the best falafel pita sandwich of your life, packed with incredible baba ganoush and hummus. This is what Brooklyn used to be and, thank goodness, this one spot hasn't changed for decades. The baklava is also outstanding. 5 stars!!!!

I've never had such amazing falafel in my life. The combo plate comes with generous portions and was enough for lunch and dinner for me. For just over $10, this was a steal!

Saw a sign for 5.50 Falafel Sandwich, and that sounded like a great deal to me! This shop is a small hole-in-the wall, but feels homey and welcoming. It is nearby the Clark St. Station, within Brooklyn Heights. The owner was very kind, and welcomed me, happy to help me with the sandwich. For 5.50, I am very satisfied. Short walk to Dumbo, so I ate by the Brooklyn Bridge with a great view. Topped with plenty of fresh tomatoes (cold + refreshing!), lettuce, falafel, and just enough sauce. This isn't like your nearby sloppy sandwich, but was put together with love. Ingredients are fresh, cold, and crispy, which made this a great experience on a hot day.
