Falafel On Broadway is a long-running Middle Eastern counter on Broadway where platters, pitas, and mezze move fast but stay remarkably consistent across thousands of orders. Students, locals, and late commuters rely on it for generous grilled plates, crisp falafel, and hummus at prices that still feel like a deal in Morningside Heights.
