Best Ethnic fast food in NYC!
I am now retired, but worked in walking distance to this little hidden treasure. Rakka was a definite stop during many lunchtime walks. I no longer live in NYC, but any occassion I am in the city I do stop for the Falafel. Some to eat during my drive home and extra to eat the next day. I also got my family hooked on their wonderful Falafel! Reading these reviews, I will bring a cooler our next trip into the city and order some of their other menu offerings that also sound yummy. Thru the years the staff has always been very friendly and helpful. I do hope this great and healthy food find will be around for many years. The young people who still go to the 'fast food 'meat' places... really need to learn about this healthy type of food! Hey, I'm Irish background, but love good, healthy and tasty food !! Cheers and long live Rakka !

Great experience every time
I have placed several large orders for take out through cafe rakka and have yet to have a bad experience. The staff is so kind and accommodating. The food is warm and delivered on time. And it is always a great deal for us!

Amazing food & good value
My favorite place to eat on St. Mark's. I always get the falafel sandwich and hummus. It's always delicious and served to me very quickly and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is no frills, but certainly not as bad as say, a fast food establishment, and it's prefect for a quick bite while shopping, pre or post club. I found out they're open late after I breezed by at 2 AM, so now I know where to go when I want late-night food that's not pizza or a bagel.

Best Falafel you can find
I am from the middle of Connecticut, and I routinely travel all the way to NYC for the falafel at this place. Every time that I am in the city, I stop by cafe rakka. In fact, on more than one occasion a friend and I traveled to NY just for the falafel at cafe rakka. We had no other business to do in the city. Great place, keep up the good work!
