Must get the fried chickpeas and fried eggplant with honey. Also the chicken is a fantastic deal. Skip the iberico ham, not worth the price.
Brunch and dinner are equally fantastic. For brunch, try the poached egg over lamb hash or the french toast. Start the meal with the fried chickpeas and the potatas bravas.
Fried eggplant is unlike anything ever tried. Delicious. From fried chickpeas, to the olives, to the sangria everything shines.
get the doubles!! small sandwich of spiced chickpeas on fluffy fried flatbread
Dirt cheap would be an understatement here. Get some doubles (richly seasoned chickpea stew in a piece of fried dough) to share (you can request for a variety of spice levels) and a salt fish fry bake

Great mediterranean tapas! Fried chickpeas, Patatas Bravas and Cabbage with Olives were scrummy.
This place never ever disappoints. Tried the pimento chickpeas and the fried brussel sprouts - yum!
order a side of one pancake to complement your omlette/benny. ask for side of French mustard for the crispy fries. Lunch / dinner try chickpea salad.
Can't come here without ordering the chickpea salad. So good.
chickpea salad is amazing! don't miss it!
The menu includes buckwheat crepes, chicken cordon bleu, and socca, a chickpea flatbread served with pole beans, eggs, and freekah.
The socca is so good! It's a chickpea flour pancake with eggs and freekeh over it. Not your typical dish for brunch.
One of the most popular dishes is les soccas. The crispy chickpea flatbread acts as a base for salad niçoise—tuna, olive aioli, a soft-boiled egg and salad greens. Read more.
Seasonal produce and delicious Middle Eastern flavors. The best by far is the Chicken dinner with chickpeas and cilantro. Finish dinner with the chocolate tart.
What to get: Flatbread, $3; labneh, $4; chicken, black chickpeas, and cilantro, $16.
NYT recommends the whole rabbit; squid w/eggplant & chickpeas; rice w/yogurt, chanterelles & hen of the woods mushrooms; chicken w/cranberry beans & summer squash; lamb shoulder; sea bream.
GREAT Roti. (I like the chick pea - vegetarian) Don't forget a slice of Carrot Cake.
Leave delish mayhem in your wake. Def get the rice and peas, curry goat, plantains, pumpkin, and chick peas!
Rotis ranging from conch and curry chicken, to goat and chana (curry fried chickpeas). If you’re a meat eater, go for the tender stewed oxtail that fills the thin breaded pockets or the curried goat
Never get the chickpea burger here.
The tasty new veggie burger with bulgar and pecans is a major step up from what the chickpea burger had devolved into.
Chickpea veggie burger = 👍
The chicken w rice, chickpeas and shredded pita is great.
MUHAMMARAHRoasted sweet red peppers blended with walnuts and pomegranate molassesEveryday w the fresh baked (steaming) pitas!

The favorite snack is the panelle special, layering smoky chickpea fritters on a homemade roll slathered with ricotta and sprinkled with Parmesan. The pastas are distinguished too. Read more.
Don't miss the panelle, a fried chickpea pastry served with fresh ricotta, or the freshly made burrata, the perfect partner to smoky grilled eggplant. & save room if you can for a house-made cannoli.
The Panelle and Croquette Special: The specialties, like the pictures on the wall, are Sicilian including the combo of fried chickpea flour patties (panelle) and potato croquettes.
new fav spot...get the chicken liver, carrot and lentil salad, and chickpea pasta.
Everything has flavor and freshness. Radicchio salad, calamari chickpea pasta and scallops aioli. Expect to wait.
Great service. Nice place to chill, have a chat and cocktails with friends.
You have to get a doubles!!! A doubles is a fry bread sandwich that houses a spicy mixture of chickpeas. It's unlike anything we have ever tasted!
Doubles: A sweet and spicy chickpea curry that's flavored with tamarind and sandwiched between two disks of turmeric-scented deep-fried, naan-like bread known as "bara." Read more.

Spinach potato tomato a great hearty soup

One of the best diners in NYC, no joke, serve cole slaw and amazing chickpea salad with every meal
Great food. The best diner in marine park and flatlands. Love the food.
My potatoes formed a heart... I couldn't bare to eat it :-)
The Veg Combo piles include beets, red lentils, yellow split peas, cabbage, gomen (collards cooked with garlic and onion) and shiro (ground and spiced chickpeas) sitting atop injera (flatbread).
Oh yes, the veg combo is rocking! Try everything! I can't stop -)
Great food, but super stingy on the injera! What's that about?
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
