Keep Calm & Eat Falafel

History

Established in 2010.

Having moved to Hastings from Cobble Hill (Brooklyn), an Israeli-​born suburbanite wanted to provide healthy, fresh and authentic Middle Eastern fare in an urban-​like setting and atmosphere. What’s better than eating falafel, hummus, shawarma and other Middle Eastern food, while sitting in an open kitchen «shack» and watching football (i.e. soccer) on the t.v. and/​or listening to the kitchen staff yelling out orders.

Authentic and delicious Middle Eastern fare in an irreverent/​Israeli-​like atmosphere.

Oh, and we welcome kids, as well.
