Profile

In the hierarchy of most-feared food figures, Ezra Cohen falls somewhere between the Soup Nazi and Alessandro, the retired sandwich maestro of Melampo Imported Foods. That reputation might not be deserved, but the one for Mr. Cohen's falafel certainly is. His platters teem with delectable Middle Eastern salads and spreads, and his soups, a lesser-known but equally precious commodity, have a devoted fan club. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Ezra, the owner, was polite and gracious. The best pita pocket I've EVER had. the Cookie his wife made was unusual, but if I were into healthy alternatives to fats and calories, I would have enjoyed it.

Only in NYC!

I've eaten at Azuri's many times and always find the food and the service to be outstanding. The Turkish coffee and the lentil soup are my favorites, mostly because most of the times I've been there the weather was cold and damp. The owner, Ezra, is very solicitous of single women, so send your girlfriend to pick up your food! ; )
