Cat C.2025-04-08Verified I'm so sad this place closed. What happened?!? I really hope they reopen. This one was of my favorite take out places in nyc and would order from 2x a week! So sad. Claire H.2025-03-22Verified amazing service and yummy food! such a gem! pitas were super soft and the fries are delicious. Tansy W.2025-01-13Verified Love this place! So happy to have discovered it. I got one bowl for $13.50 which basically served as both my lunch and dinner. It was my first time there and I was very indecisive so they let me do half chicken shawarma and half falafel for my protein (that meant two falafel). As other reviews indicate, they fry the falafel fresh each time. It was quite good but very fried so I was glad I only got a half order - a full one probably would've been too much. They also let me split the base - half rice and half couscous, which I'd also do again. Salad greens and fries are two other options. I loved the signature sauce, hummus and tzatziki. Was not as much a fan of the garlic whip as it was too garlicky for me but I bet my husband would've loved it so to each their own. I ate a little less than half my bowl for lunch after a workout and was stuffed. I nibbled on the rest throughout the day and finished it for dinner. Highly recommend and will definitely return! They have a frequent flyer punch card as well, so be sure to check that out. Jenny Z.2024-12-07Verified Honestly, better than I expected! A solid fast causal spot and also super affordable. The falafel was made fresh to order (I saw them making the falafel balls and frying them in the back!) and was also a lot more moist than it looks. Also loved all the sauce, the jalapeño one especially. The only downside for me was, while the ingredients were fresh, they were a bit too big and harder to eat. They included whole (and huge) slices of tomatoes (instead of something like diced tomatoes), and same goes for the pickles, cucumbers, and onions. Would have been easier to eat if they chopped up the ingredients! Mallory O.2024-09-10Verified Came here after a morning at Bathhouse and was hungry, but craving something that felt healthy. Food here was very fresh ingredients and flavorful. It's basically like a chipotle, but with Mediterranean food. Great selection of sauces too! Limited seating, but did enjoy ourselves on a stool looking out the window front to people watch while we had our meal. Don't sleep on the fries with feta dip! Amanda W.2024-09-03Verified Ordered Fle Fle with a group delivery and I was able to try both their chicken breast and shawarma. My bowl was so filled to the brim of healthy goodness! I also got the fresh hummus, which was delicious! Sadly I could not eat the onions and had to pick them out, which I did not know was in the bowl. If I had to select I would absolutely get the shawarma. The chicken breast did not have that kick and was quite dry. Overall would order again but only the shawarma bowl. Stephanie N.2024-08-14Verified Flavor was really great. I love the customized bowl places, I got spring greens (I eat a ton of greens so they just didn't give enough) and the chicken shawarma. Downside is that the veggie toppings are mainly pickles, and it didn't go that well with the flavor of the greens, it did need something else to balance it. Good service and fast casual vibe. Sauces were excellent. Angelic F.2024-05-30Verified Love the hospitality here! Also food is bomb! They even let me use their charger to charge my phone. I recommend communicating with them when ordering a custom bowl as they go very fast. Zack C.2024-04-11Verified really great for a lunch bowl. only thing better than the food was the service. my office placed a large group order and an item was missing when it arrived. i called Fle Fle up and they not only made the item immediately, one of the workers ran over to our office to drop it off. she went above and beyond. would recommend this place 100%!!
