30-30 47th Ave Ste 130, Long Island City, NY 11101, USA

Weekday lunch at this 47th Avenue counter means building a hefty platter, wrap or bowl around chicken thighs, beef or falafel, then adding couscous, purple cabbage and eggplant spread. Daily specials rotate, the spicy sauces bring real heat, and extra seating spills into the building hall.
