Considering the neighborhood it's surprising that the flavors are pretty solid. Definitely better taste than other options for shawarma for the area. However be forewarned that it is kosher which unfortunately means 4-5 times the price of non kosher competitors so that part is really annoying, but at least the quality of the food delivers. It's so expensive that I will often go to queens or travel much farther to get more value. Nevertheless their amba is legit, the schug is made fresh and has the right balance of heat and seasoning, all the salads are solid, the pita is nice and fluffy and the shawarma itself is respectable and closer to the real stuff unlike other places that are giving you the based on the idea version of shawarma that is essentially a chicken wrap with turmeric. As much as I wanted to be in my feelings about the blatant Kosher Tax .. they make pretty good food overall.

Hot off the grill shawarma with 5 toppings all rolled into a large bread or pita. The food is fresh, well seasoned, and portions are huge! The Ladd sandwich with French fries could definitely be shared. There is a little hut ( enclosed"outdoor seating") on the sidewalk if you're eating there.

Simply outstanding. Delicious chicken shawarma, layered on top of a bowl of fresh, vibrant salads and spreads. Fresh laffa and pita. Portions large enough for two. Friendly and helpful manager and staff. Just delectable!

I have never had such a delicious shawarma before... Grill Point on Lexington has an amazing Mediterranean Israely food. I truly felt like being teleported to "Shook Hatikvvah" The food here is amazing. Every Pita is loaded, generous portions, great ingredients, fresh, delicious. Couldn't have enough of it. Totally and whole heartedly recommend

Had a bowl with schnitzel and some really delicious sides - like hummus, grilled vegetables, israeli salad. I was pretty impressed. only thing i didn't live was the laffa, which seemed kind of bland. I'd go back if i was in the mood for shawarma. probably wouldn't get the schnitzel again.

So funny story... I was on my way to college and a random man on the street gave me a menu for this place. A new Middle Eastern and Kosher restaurant close to my college? Was intrigued and had to check it out. So glad that I did. Overall, I was impressed! The restaurant is set up like this. You order your food at the counter and hand them your ticket afterwards. (Though, I was not aware of this until after I waited a while for my order. Service could be improved). Then you can request as many toppings as you'd like in your meal. There's some seating inside, but there's nicely decorated outdoor seating as well. They also have a kids menu. Something for everyone! Feeling hungry for lunch, I ordered myself a Chicken Shawarma with laffa bread and requested hummus, tahini, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers to be added inside. The shawarma was so delicious!! Hands down, one of the best I've ever had in NYC. The meat was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and all of the ingredients went so well together. Everything was served warm and tasted freshly made. Now I'm craving some more laffa bread! The price was a bit high, though the huge portion made up for it. I also ordered an Israeli salad on the side, which complemented the food well. Awesome addition to the Upper East Side and I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu. Thank you to the random man who gave me this menu :D
