Comments on: Olympic Pita Wins Me Over With Laffa & French Fries http://midtownlunch.com/2008/06/18/olympic-pita-laffa-pita-falafel-midtown-new-york-city-nyc/ Finding Lunch in New York City's Midtown Manhattan Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:31:29 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: kiko8519 http://midtownlunch.com/2008/06/18/olympic-pita-laffa-pita-falafel-midtown-new-york-city-nyc/comment-page-1/#comment-222597 kiko8519 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:06:19 +0000 http://midtownlunch.com/blog/?p=1132#comment-222597 I am an avid fan of this site and use it often for lunch ideas but this shawarma sandwich made me register to post a comment. Friggen delicious. Obviously, the bread and fresh salads are a huge plus, but the meat was delicious too. Ok ok ok, it's not lamb, but so what? It's yummy as hell. Oh well, guess now I'll start posting more comments from time to time! Olympic Pita aka Baraca = highly recommended by me.

Fresh bread, israeli pickels, and just enough french fries. You can do better but it may take you 12 hour flight. They do shwarma in laffa the right way.

For $7.04 a I ate a montrosity (sp?) of a sandwich--laffa bread with falafal, hummus, fries, israeli salad, and small to go containers of tahini and hot sauce. I also got a container of sides (red cabbage w/ vinigrette, hot peppers and green salad) that I could not eat today but will happily make part of my lunch tomorrow. My verdict...good falafel made great b/c of the extras. FYI Jr., I went on a Tuesday and they did have lamb schwarma.

Ridiculous. To the list of negatives I would add: Size makes it a tad too big to enjoy standing up. And my biggest problem is that the schwarma is only chicken or turkey. I'm looking for real deal lamb schwarma thanks very much. Anyone know a place with lamb schwarma? To the positives: emphasize the size. Ridiculous.

Yeah it's $12 but it's quality, and enough food to choke a llama, and great. Especially like how they give you the bonus salad container to fill and stuff in your bag. One other note: Mayhem rules after high noon. Be ready to fight for your lafa, it's an unruly mob scene up front. That said, this non-swarthy, deodorant-using Gentile cracker found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Next time I will go in blackface and see if there's a difference.

Then we were charged for tip twice on the bill and were very rude about fixing it. It wasnt till we made a scene that they remedied the situation.
