A favorite among Cooper Union and NYU students, Chickpea, a new falafel joint in the epicenter of the East Village, is perfect for the budget-minded gal who has a hankering for savory shawarma (roasted marinated lamb, chicken or turkey fillets). Although the food is served in a rapid-flash style, there is nothing "fast food" about the chewy homemade pita, the outrageous falafel, the deliciously seasoned red onion and the shawarma - juicy and roasting on a revolving spit.
For $3.50, score a sandwich overstuffed with fresh food that's high on flavor. And the scene is certainly not greasy or low-budget - copper counters, Moroccan starlight fixtures, even a lounge! - Chickpea is the perfect moniker for this tasty wallet-conscious spot.
