It was delicious! The fries and sausage in a sandwich is a delicious combo!
The staff there are the kindest people ever. They took great care of my brother and I. It felt like home

This is a halal Algerian spot with very authentic food. They have sandwiches and platters and some flavorful side dishes. I had the merguez sandwich and chicken sandwich, and a couple side dishes. The Merguez was amazing, very delicious sausage type dish in a hero roll with fries inside. There’s not a lot of seating space so it’s a great takeout spot.

Absolutely fantastic sandwiches. After coming here for our first time, my friend and I had to revisit soon after. They’ve mastered the Merguez sandwich, although their others are definitely worth trying too! The staff is always friendly, and the whole restaurant smells amazing. If you’ve never had Algerian food, give them a try as soon as you can! Their Merguez is amazing and well seasoned. Truly couldn’t ask for anything better than what they’re serving here.

This place has always been great. I love their authentic flavors and generous portions for a fair price. Today I decided to call in for a sandwich while waiting outside on my bike. The cashier was super friendly and helpful and even gave me a slice of their awesome pizza to eat while I waited. Far more accommodating to a cyclist than I normally expect. Thanks guys!

Lovely spot with delicious traditional Algerian specialties. The Merguez & fries sandwich is a must ( the fries are fresh cut & fried to perfection), the staff was very friendly & informative. The pizza would need a bit more tomato sauce as it is almost inexistant. I will definitely go back!

Excerpt from Eat the World NYC:
Some addresses in New York City just seem to be cursed and never hold a tenant for very long. The previous business here was a not dissimilar Moroccan sandwich shop that only called it home for a short time. The newer owners hail from the neighbors to the east: Algeria, a country without a ton of representation in the city (One Algerian-ish place in the East Village and now-closed Bar Omar in Williamsburg precede this).
The main offerings here are again sandwiches, those wildly popular on the streets of the capital Algiers and other cities. There you will find a diet high in meat intake, often with lamb being the most popular and readily available. The foods of France are of course no stranger to the once-colonized land, and baguettes circulate along with other Algerian breads.
The combination of lamb, the French baguette, and fries which seem to find their way onto and into many other foods, give the place its name and a sense of what you will find. Looking to the top of the menu, the merguez frites ($7) seems like the obvious place to start here. The baguette is of very good quality, as are the sausages, especially for such a low price for a sandwich longer than a foot.

Easiest 5 star I’ve ever given. Saw this on a YouTube video, came from Toronto and this was my first stop… despite some incredible meals on my NYC trip – this was the best food, atmosphere, service, everything.

The food is good, and prices are reasonable. My friends and I are practically regulars, but the latest salesperson they hired is rude, and makes me not want to go back there.

If it’s good enough for Bronson, it’s good enough for me. As a first time visitor here, I went with the classic Merg and Frites and the plain corner square slice. Let me tell you, no matter where you live, it is definitely worth the trip here. Flavorful, perfectly spiced, balanced. I know I’ll be back soon to explore their menu with the help of their super friendly staff. I just might be a Merguez and Frites Freak.

I love merguez and fries. Reminds me of my time in France in 90s. What a treat, pizza merguez frites et flan to be shared for 2. Loved the food and service was great. Just one note (make sure fries are re-heated before mating with bread and merguez).
