The food was fresh & delicious. We got the falafel burger with salad & falafel salad bowl. It came with pickles, green chilli chutney, tahini dressing, amba chutney. The falafel were a bit hard to break which they were hot but mostly the food was cold. Overall it was good. It was a spacious restaurant with high table tops seating. There is a restroom downstairs.

Very very good and super delicious food. Try the chilli falafel burger it is amazing! The chips are good quality. The hummus is unreal! Although i wasn’t biggest fan of the pitta bread. Lovely large restaurant with plenty of nice seating. Good customer service but can be improved, but the food was that good i overlooked a few things

I recently tried Nish Nush in the Wall Street/Financial District. The service was five-star, but the food left room for improvement. The falafel was packed with flavor and delicious, but it was too soggy and lacked the desired crunch. The pita bread was fresh, but the hummus tasted like it came out of a can. It’s a good sandwich, but not the best in the Big Apple. What stood out was the unique Vegan Shawarma Platter. The soybean shawarma, sautéed cherry tomatoes, onions, harissa, amba, and tahini served on laffa was spicy and had a flavor profile reminiscent of the Indian subcontinent. This dish is a good option if you're vegan and in a rush. The restaurant could use more color and better lighting, and the drinks fridge was warm, making the drinks less refreshing. There were limited stools but more tables. Would I come back? Yes, but only if I’m nearby.

The best hummus and falafel I’ve ever had!!! The hummus has a nutty flavour and a texture is amazing! I can’t wait to come back to New York for a dinner at this place

I rate harsh so believe me when I say this falafel sandwich is 5 stars, nothing less. For about 11 dollars, you get an extremely filling, extremely flavorful sandwich. I got the spicy chilly falafel and the spice level was perfect. It won’t leave your stomach upset after you eat it and the flavor was unlike any falafel I’ve ever had. Honestly will be hard pressed to find a better falafel place than Nish Nush. I will definitely make this a regular spot.

Revisited Nish Nush after a few years. The quality is as great as before. Great falafels and pita bread. The season fries are really delicious. Cauliflowers are deep fried though and a little bit oily for me.

We had two amazing salads; Green Falafel and Avocado. The red lentil soup was a killer! Great quality and quantity of food. Our bill was about $35. There were so many other things I wanted to order. Order at the counter and they’ll let you know when it’s ready. Counter associate was helpful and friendly.

The food was excellent, very tasteful and generous in portions. The Sabich in pita was to die for, as well as the Haloumi salad. Masabacha plate was very yummy. All quite authentic and well priced. I was one happy Israeli when I started eating…Recommended!!
