I’ve been to Lava so many times that writing a review now seems a little anticlimactic. It’s one of my favorite places in the area— they have a ton of options in their menu and everything is always delicious. I have had just about every vegan dish, from the platters to the sandwiches to the appetizers. The staff is warm, kind, and extremely patient even when we bring large groups of loud people. Th portions are very generous and the veggies always taste fresh. Love you, Lava!

Casual, cozy place for tasty middle eastern food. Reasonable prices. Order the Lava Plate. Tasty but the meat was somewhat dry. Falafel was delicious and highly recommend! Coated in sesame seeds and served fresh. I also really enjoyed the complimentary spiced tea!

Went to this place for the first time today. Their vegan grilled platter is out of this world. I ordered it with a side of beet hummus which was lightly sweet and so so good. All vegetables and sides were fresh and so incredibly flavorful ??? Service was great, overall atmosphere of restaurant was lovely and welcoming. We ate outside at a small table and the outdoor seating was simple but very pleasant :) 10/10 and definitely coming back.

Pleasantly surprised with the food and the place. Totally enjoyed the food. Tried Shawarma and amazing. My family tried other food items and were very happy with the food. Their burger and lamb chops were also very good. The place nice and big bathroom which makes this place a nice stop. Highly recommended if you like middle eastern cuisine.

Spectacular place for Middle Eastern food. It's a hidden gem in the village right by Washington Square Park. Get a side of hummus with your sandwich and enjoy the complementary Tea at the end.

This was such a disappointing experience. I was really excited to eat here, especially after reading the reviews. I’ve been craving Shawarma for months, where we live options are so limited. Service wasn’t great, not friendly and misheard our order. We ordered the hummus, lamb and Arabic chicken shawarma. The gave us labneh instead of lamb. Could have been an honest mistake but the first server didn’t seem to care or want to rectify. Half way through us eating, our server changed and he was nice and much more attentive. Food was so mid. No flavour, bland. Incredibly disappointing.
