"Chef Einat Admony’s exceptional vegetarian fast-casual Israeli outfit, named after the Hebrew word for tasty and delicious, has topnotch falafels. Crunchy and greaseless, they’re available in a traditional green-hued parsley, cilantro, and mint version, a mildly spicy Tunisian-inflected option packed with harissa, and a kalamata olive iteration. Other highlights include salads that can be topped with falafel, plus expertly-seasoned mezzes like Moroccan carrots or marinated beets. Freshly made smoothies are on the menu, too. There’s also a West Village outpost on Waverly Place and a food truck that makes the rounds in warmer weather." - Alexandra Ilyashov
