Hallie LiangOctober 6, 2013Spicy falafel is so yummy and fresh. Plus they stuff the sandwiches with this (pickled?) red cabbage that is sooo much better than the lettuce and cucumber other places use.
Tricia LayneJuly 31, 2013Great place for lunch! To me, the best falafel in town and perfect location near The Barclay Center! Cost effective prices and they even serve beer:) Enjoy
Milica StankowitchJuly 27, 2016Try eggplant pita and have an instant food orgasm! The service is also awsome. It's my second time here and def not the last! Go Kulushkat go!
Serious EatsNovember 3, 2011Eggplant: Incredibly, deliciously, oily—a garlicky, acidic marinade that adds flavor to everything it touches, seeping into the eggplant, bleeding into the hummus, further dressing the Israeli salad.

Kimmie OhhAugust 5, 2020Loved their Gilly falafel. It was a mushroom-spinach falafel with hummus, red cabbage, eggplant & tahini.
Tried the chicken shawarma, which was filling and fortified with curry. It's not the best in the world. Came for lunch, unfortunately had a long wait, but I'll give them another chance.- Ian FrancisNovember 29, 2015Great spot to grab a bite to eat. The spicy falafel pita pocket with seasoned fries and a drink is my go-to.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended dishes: Gilly falafel, Mediterranean chicken falafel, eggplant à la Yafa. The falafel at this modest and mostly takeout shop is crisp yet moist, airy yet creamy. Read more
Michelle MurrayMay 8, 2016The falafel is amazing! Make to ask for both pickles and pickled cabbage on your sandwich. The desserts are also yummy!
Oz LublingOctober 21, 2011Really good falafel on the same level as Taim. Ask them to really stuff your pita. The portions could be more generous.
- Wendy QiuMay 6, 2015Fig, pear, plum smoothie is made with coconut .. Great combination! Gilly falafel was dry..too much red cabbage made it bitter.
- After coming here twice on my lunch hour, I'd definitely call ahead to have the food ready when you get there.
Ryan KDecember 29, 2013Classic falafel is light (well, for falafel) and fresh tasting. Pita is excellent.
Matthew PantojaDecember 12, 2012This place has great falafel, and to top it off they have a female delivery person who's cute.
Rachel MelDecember 11, 2019Sadly this place has gone downhill. Used to be my favorite in Brooklyn for the sandwiches but I've now gone twice and been disappointed at the food quality. Salty, badly constructed, not delicious

Liz McMillanSeptember 5, 2013NOT very authentic...veggies were oily and hot sauce was green chili peppers...REALLY? Extra 4 white & hot sauce? Also u put customer change in their hands NOT the counter. NOT RECOMMENDED
Thomas RixApril 17, 2016Took 20m then when I asked where my food was, they told me they lost the ticket and never started making it.
Sujan HongAugust 18, 2018$12 for a mediocre shawarma and y’all still want to charge me $.50 for hot sauce?
