Worth going for the food. Middle Eastern Food in a tiny pizza place. You have to use the screen at the far end of the counter to order Middle Eastern. There are no signs or menu posted, so you would never know. It was really good.

Just moved to Ithaca and thrilled to find delicious falafel made by very nice people! Sandwiches are awesome, and the homemade pita is great. Will be here regularly - thank you!

I ordered a falafel bowl, for the price of the meal I expected far more food. There were 3 falafel balls on top of mostly iceberg lettuce, a small handful of beans, and a few pieces of pickled onion. Everything was mediocre. Not worth it in my opinion.

Falafel pitas are absolutely superb - fresh, crunchy, tasty, authentic. The best I've had in Ithaca since the Corner's Deli closed. Couldn't figure out where they were - but they're inside Ned's pizza. They'll be opening another location in the new Ned's in Collegetown, and I expect to be a regular there.

Ordered ahead and picked up on time, but my food was cold. It was a little frustrating to wait in line for the pizza place for this pickup order, it would have been nice to just walk in and pick the order up. Seems like they have some kinks to work out in their process, but the food was decent (despite being cold) so I will probably try again.

What a great concept! Different falafel sandwiches with different sauces! It’s not your regular and boring sandwich. It’s an explosion of flavours. The dynamite sandwich is to die for! Totally recommend this to family and friends.The homemade hummus and fries are delicious! Quality quality and quality!Favorite place!

When I tell people about this gem, I always begin it by saying "I've eaten falafel all my life and while I enjoyed it, I never quite understood the obsession--UNTIL this place." The falafel has an amazing moist, well seasoned interior and crispy exterior that's out of this world. Their pita is properly puffed and airy. I've had several of their sandwiches and they're creative, delicious, and assembled with execution that makes you aware that they care about what they're serving. Everything you eat is colorful, healthy, and packaged with care for takeout which is something so sorely overlooked. They're kind, quick, competent, and gifted. Love, love, love!

I have been searching for a good authentic pita in Ithaca for years. This is hands down the best pita, handmade from scratch, delivered still warm and lovely. Falafel is also great. Loved the pickled vegetables too for the acidic crunch.

This is the only place I order from as a college student. Their food is so tasty & constantly meets the mark. Thank you guys!Vegetarian options: I can finally enjoy a burger that's not meat or faux meat.

Excellent home-made falafel and pita! Delicious and so creamy baba ganoush and hummus! Best falafel-pita sandwich in Ithaca! We will absolutely come back! (It is a ghost kitchen in Ned's Pizza restaurant).Vegetarian options: All items are either vegetarian or vegan!

The falafel here are DELICIOUS! Everything was made fresh at the restaurant, the falafel were flavorful and had great texture, the tahini sauce was lemony and delicious, and the service was prompt. I will definitely be coming back here!

We picked up a falafel burger and dynamite pita for lunch. They were absolutely excellent! So glad it’s not far from home.
