Foodie Rundown:
The platter offers the most complete dinner with 3 “Fill Its” or as us normal people call it, sides.

Gyro - Succulent pieces of beef and lamb made with greek spices (I topped this with the green chimichurri garlic sauce, a little spicy, but delicious!)

Chicken Shawarma – Fire roasted marinated chicken thighs, definitely has a curry flavor, so if you’re not a fan of curry, you may or may not like the Shawarma

Spanish Eggplant – Reminded me of Eggplant Caponata, delicious large marinated pieces of eggplant served on the side

Falafel – Can never go wrong with 2 crispy falafels either on the side or in a pita

Baba Gannosh – this goes great on the pita, full of eggplant flavor (I’m sensing an eggplant theme?)

Original Hummus included with every meal, (any flavored hummus such as sundried tomato hummus or jalapeno hummus just add $1)

Whole wheat pitawas are
Available (just in case you’re looking to be health conscious)

The best of all, my meal, plus a water, was $11. Can’t beat that in NYC! Fresh and delicious!

Atkins Sushi??

So when I lived in Murray Hill, my go to sushi spot was Nomado 33. It wasn't until after I moved that i realized they had carb free sushi! At Nomado 33, not only are the ingredients fresh, prices reasonable and sake bombs are only 10 bucks, but they also can wrap any sushi in cucumber instead of rice. Yes, you heard me, cucumber. There are a few cucumber rolls on the menu, but for a small charge, they will wrap any roll in cucumber (just ask)! It is fresh, healthier and quite refreshing in the summer time. I had never even thought of trying it until my friend was on the Atkins Diet, but this is great for anyone who is trying to stay away from carbs and wants to have some sushi.

Foodie Rundown:
Pizza Roll (for the hearty appetite, this roll is HUGE, I get it without eel, because eel creeps me out, but the flavors are amazing, also it looks like pizza! (*note – this roll cannot be wrapped in cucumber) (pictured on top)
Snow White Roll (white tuna, spicy mayo, avocado, crunch, topped with snow crab
If they have the Tuna Dumpling as a special for an appetizer, get it, it will make you smile
