pitza's are real interesting and different, lots of choices for vegetarians (if its your first time, get the veggie tasting platter). They also serve a tiny complimentary baked bread+zaatar - delish
Very quiet during lunch time if you want a place to catch up with a friend over a quiet meal. They are v generous with the hummus appetizer serving - almost got full just from that.
Food was great & our large party was treated very well. Small place but they never rushed us. We had a lot of dietary restrictions at our table, but everyone could find options that worked for them
Sweet lunch deal at balade (east Mediterranean at 1st ave and 12 street). $10 for app, sandwich entree and dessert. (Or $12 for choice of pitza instead of sandwich).
We really wanted to like this restaurant. Good news: Hummus & other apps were Great! Bad News: Chef killed the beef and lamb on the grill. So dry and overcooked - it was so sad. Staff is very nice!

The lentil soup is delicious and more bitter than a 35 year old unmarried Manhattan women. Like I said, if you like bitter go Lentil...you certainly deserve it
Eastern Mediterranean restaurant that is a great addition to NYC diverse Int'l cuisines. Balade is a quaint neighborhood destination with a warm setting.
