Batata

I live close by and eat the food from Batata frequently. If you’re okay with eating eggs and dairy, the absolute best thing on the menu is the scrambled egg and cheese malawach, with schug and grated tomato on the side. A sweet runner-up would be the coconut milk waffles (the house-made sweet chili butter served on the side is outrageously delicious). The eggplant and labne sandwich is also really good, but I think they only serve it on Wednesdays now. If you’re vegan, I’d recommend the sweet potato felafel sandwich WITHOUT the feta (or with, if you eat dairy), or the lentil soup. (The grain bowl and brussels sprouts used to be really good, but I’m not sure if they’re on the menu anymore.) I like the mint lemonade, too, and you can never go wrong with hummus (particularly the mushroom hummus) and sweet potato fries .

We LOVED our sweet potato falafel and chicken schnitzel. Carryout containers were spill proof and recyclable.

Dined in twice — in three days! Great food, excellent service, extremely reasonable prices.

Great food, always fresh, and great service. It’s very cheap for what you get and I love the quality of the food.
Definitely will come here at every opportunity I have.

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.
