Batata Pita Bar

Came here for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They had 2 tables available for outdoor dining. The place was shockingly empty for a Saturday afternoon but, I quickly realized that they have a relatively busy takeaway situation. Good for them. I got the falafel plate ($15), which comes with either white or whole wheat pita. My partner got the tuna sandwich ($9) with an added hardboiled egg (+$1). We also got an order of fries ($5) to share. You order/pay at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. All the utensils and water are self service. The cups for water are kind of laughable. They're literally the size of the cups you get at the dentist to rinse your mouth with. I guess that's one way to try to get patrons to buy a drink instead of drinking the free water. The food comes out very quickly. I asked for hot sauce but the green herb container that they claimed was their hot sauce was barely spicy. It had a nice flavor but I doubt I'd ever refer to it as a hot sauce condiment. The falafel was delicious and so was the accompanying hummus. The tahini was watery and seemed out of a jar. The Israeli salad and the cabbage salad it comes with could have used a bit more seasoning but overall, good enough for a healthy side. I'd try this place again. A majority of The people getting takeaway were getting chicken schnitzel and chicken shawarma so those are next on my list to try. If you live in the Kensington/Windsor Terrace area, this is definitely a good place to try for a casual, no frills meal.

Cute place with lots of healthy options. I believe they do also have vegetarian options. They do have a small section for outdoor seating on a nice day. This is more of a place for a quick bite and hangout spot. They have really good juices and smoothies and they also have açaí bowls. Would be a good place to get a meal and study or read a book or newspaper. If im ever in the area again i will def come back here.

What a great little spot, we stopped in for brunch, I had the Schnitzel & Waffle Plate....OMG I am obsessed! Their Honey Chili Butter is addictive...buyer beware, the deliciousness is out of control. My girlfriend had the Cheese Malawach, also delicious. Everything was really fresh, the service was very friendly and quick. This place is a neighborhood feel good spot, no doubt we will be back.

I really like this restaurant. They have really good falafels and I never heard or tried sweet potato falafel until I saw this place. The chicken schnitzel or shawarma sandwich is really good as well! The smoothies are refreshing, although I think they’re a bit pricey on the smoothies though. Overall the food here is very good, and its really nice and peaceful with outdoor dining. The workers will make sure you are sitting in a clean table outside and that you are enjoying your food.
