Newtown

Arguably some of the best vegan middle eastern food I’ve had in NYC. The menu is all vegetarian and a lot of the items are vegan! They can make a lot of things spicy and the store is so cute! They have indoor and outdoor seating plus a very New York vibe restroom. Their sandwiches are also only $11 and a good amount of food so it’s budget friendly for NYC!

On my day off, I love go wandering and find my next new favorite eatery..I was craving a sabich and this place popped up in my search. For those taking the train it's about a five minute walk from the Meserole station on L train. When I arrived I looked over the menu and immediately knew that I was ordering the sabich, but I also ordered a side of grape leaves, and an iced coffee. I paid and sat inside, they do have outdoor seating as well. The area is pretty industrial...one of the few that has not been glammed up. The server/counter person brought my order to the table...and at first glance I knew that it was going to be delicious. I had the grape leaves first they were very good, nice flavor and nice portion. But the star was the sabich. It was filled with the usual sliced boiled egg, eggplant, diced Mediterranean type salad, tahini, and pickles but with this they added a vinegar based potato salad, and an amba sauce that was fresh...and all stuffed within a fluffy warm pita...absolutely deeeeeelish!!! As always I was full..but I really wanted to take one to go.. Service was ok... Once The server brought me my order, that was it.(you pay in advance) It would be nice if they checked on me at least once...🤔 But overall great food and I definitely intend to return and will likely just take out..

I don’t ever write reviews but I have tears in my eyes as I write this. This is the second meal I’ve ordered from Newton and both times have been a Godly experience. The Vegan Majadra is heavenly and the Seitan Shawarma makes my heart skip a beat. Best food ever please give the chef a hug n kiss for me
