I've been heading out to Jersey City quite a bit lately. One of our latest finds was Ibby's Falafel on Grove Street. It is a small place with outdoor seating.

Upon entering, the restaurant is small, beautifully decorated and extremely clean.

We walked in and hungrily ordered. I opted for the Falafel, hummus & baba sandwich and my two companions had the lamb shawarma and the stuffed grape leaves. The bill came to under $20 and the food was prepared with speed. The gentleman at the counter was warm, courteus and helpful (need to ask him his name next time).

The food was quite delicious. My sandwich was made of pita, falafel balls, hummus and veggies. It was a healthy and delicious start to the day. The grape leaves blew me away. I took a bite of the lamb shawarma and was left to salivate. The meat was juicy and flavorful. The hot sauce is spicy, so beware when you liberally squeeze it into your sandwich, if your tongue is not a spice master, I'd day leave it to the experts. The portions were just big enough that I was sated without being overly full.

The day was lovely, the food delicious and the conversation great. I look forward to my next visit and to trying out more of their dishes.
