Truly, without a doubt, the worst falafel I've ever had! If you want falafel with a make-it-yourself bar, head to Maoz. Otherwise, go far out of bounds to Taim in the West Village.

There is not much similarity between their laffa and real laffa.The baguette itself is not as good as Mr. Broadway's, but it is OK. If there was no baguette, I would just take it with the pita on the side. I haven't noticed homeless delivery men working for KD. It is possible. I'm sure. There's an irritable, older black man, and the rest seem to be Indian. Although there doesn't seem to be much turnover, the delivery guys really vary in when they will show up, how confused they are, etc. One guy is famous for shuffling through the bags to find your name, and then leaving two bags with you. If you luck out, you will get a guy who knows what he is doing. Don't get it delivered if you are really hungry since there is no telling when the food will actually arrive. Getting it 45 minutes after it was promised is par for the course. By the way, if you eat in, you sometimes can get both the fries and the shnitzel hot. This is a problem not just at the lunch hour rush but during their slack times. The whole dining experience suffers as a result. I always pass on KD’s laffa for the baguette.

The Chinese food is consistently horrible and most of the food is overpriced as a lot of kosher places tend to be. The matzo ball soup though is lovely. And really, their fried chicken is the best in midtown. No question. It tends to be my comfort food place when I'm at work and my mood or the weather is particularly horrible. Plus, you can always be assured of a Dr. Brown's. I’m always torn with Kosher D. The Chinese food is consistently horrible and most of the food is overpriced as a lot of kosher places tend to be.

They do have the best free salad bar though. Eggplant, peppers, carrot salad, it was almost better than the falafel. Best value still goes to falafel + fries on laffa at Olympic Pita.

This was an awesome cheap lunch. I took your suggestion and loaded up on the yummy salad bar. Thanks for mentioning that otherwise I would have been self conscientious. I noticed the guy after me stacked twice as much on his plate! LOL. I was stuffed for hours. Fried eggplant, coleslaw, red coleslaw, peppers, tomato salad, hummus, pickles, cucumber salad....mmmmmm. The falafel was not great though-- too dry. No Moshes I must say. But definitely a great lunch with the salad bar thrown in. Lots of seating but was PACKED by the time I left. thanks!
