For the price there are better Mediterranean options in NYC. But for a light-filled, pleasant place to grab a bite or drink with friends near Pennsylvania Station, it is excellent. The pita is puffed and thinner than most. Baba deliciously smokey but a small portion. Salads nothing special. Lamb dishes were delicious. Overall a good choice.
