I can't remember if I went to Dojo once back in hs or college, but I've certainly never been more than once.

i just switched over from punjabi to pak punjab, way better. theres an east village insider tip for y'all. the spinach in particular is way way better than mashy "greens"

Chickpea is fucking crumbly tasteless garbage next to the sublime falafel of EAST SIDE POCKETS (which I ate for 4 years for lunch). In addition, so many more ingredients in the pockets!!

Daria, Ian, Elmo.Oxygen, Laura H, MILFMCGEE, to thread to confirm

pak punjab

location?

Pwnjabi tastes like microwave indian food :(

are any of these village falafels better than Alfanoose? Taim?

east side pockets oh yeah
little falafely donuts fried up so nice

Would you agree to its (FUCKING VAST) superiority to Chickpea?

Sidenote: my friend's schizophrenic mother had an affair with one of the dudes there!

Good places to eat include:
KLONG for the 6.50 pad thai shrimp/fried tofu
That grocery store under the Chipotle. Six dollar massive deli sandwiches and they don't charge for adding avocado
Chickpea is fine every once in awhile. They have good honeycake!

pak punjab is on 2nd and 3rd or 4th, if it's the one i'm thinking of. it was my post-mars bar stop for quite some time. volcanically spicy samosas.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I dined & dashed at some crappy new pan-asian on St. Mark's in March
Chikpea is good for stopping in to take a leak -- (pull door hard)

And is anyone else diggin Rai Rai Ken?

― /4 LFG PST (blastocyst), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

rrk is definitely better than a lot of e.v. ramen.

one for the db

never had chickpea! so i cannot compare.

i kinda like veselka, though! i used to work in the same building (ukranian national home, i think it's called) and they do a nice bacon egg & cheez on a big crusty roll, which i would eat for breakfast at least twice a week.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

veselka's mostly fine, but i'm just as happy paying less for more unrefined versions of the same thing at little poland or christine's or polonia.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Veselkas best at three in the morning.
Little Poland is much better in general. I like the Hungry Man combo platter.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 9 June 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Alfanoose pwns

I work near Wall St so I have it at least once a week

they even have a manifesto "every falafel ball is formed and fried especially for you"

Little Poland = "Very Special" Perogi

I've never seen 200 Cigarettes, but it looks like a time portal to 1998 (eg, Leshko's)

Mamoun's on St Marks recently remodeled. My friend complained that the vibe is too polished now but it seems much nicer to me? (I haven't been in yet.)

― VC, Tuesday, 11 July 2017 04:02 (six years ago) link

Does the "rents are too damn high" dude still hang out on st mark's in his truck?

new Mamoun's is nice but also harder to get a seat in evenings

It's possible I haven't been to St Marks since this thraed in 2006.
