    Good vibes in this place. The food is delicious and the stuff are friendly. Prices on the range. I recommend Special vegetable sandwich, flafel, flatbread, hummus, and Shakshuka.

    It's a good place for a breakfast. The flafel is good. The service is good and fast. The menu has verity of different items you can order. The decorations is lovely. My complain is that the price is bit above average when compared the quality and the food served. But overall, good experience.

    If you like trying new outlets make sure you don’t miss this one. It’s well maintained , very hygienic place. Ambiance is really great. They have indoor and outdoor arrangements. Tried Beef Khabsa and stuffed falafel ( obviously falafel couldn’t be missed out here). Talking about price, they seem somewhat more pricey than same category restaurants. Specially the drinks. They need to revisit drink prices for sure.

  • 1/5 Ahmed S. 2 years ago on Google
    I went the other day to have breakfast and I found a fly in the Musabah. Not a fly that just fell in. It was apparent that it has been there for a while. I told them about it and the manager came with a poor apology saying it's the weather now and flies are everywhere that fly traps can't catch all of them. Their way of compensation was to delete the affected dish from the bill which they mentioned three different times like it's the biggest deal to do. I'm disappointed in the customer service overall and I don't think I'm ever going there again.

  • 2/5 Sh 2 years ago on Google
    I love their special falafel but the i hate the place , it is so hot especially if they make you set in front of the door , they will not change your table . Always when i came their is some dish not available (you are a restaurant you can make it! 😐) sometimes it is shawarma sometimes it is just a simple juice . Tea pot is sooooo small It’s not enough even for one person I like their staff so polite I like their Manakish I like the hummus and special falafel

  • 3/5 Amira 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly I was really excited to try this for the first time because my friends always talk about this place but I was a little bit disappointed when I tried it because I felt like it wasn’t anything really special like yes the food is not bad like it’s good but some of the stuff that they price like falafel it’s only four pieces for 20 riyals which is kind of expensive for me, and I also tried a chocolate cake and I was really disappointed when it came because it was basically frozen and when I finally tried it it was honestly not good it tasted weird like it was undercooked or something and I was really disappointed I couldn’t even finish the whole thing but the Shawarma and the fries are good the falafel is not bad but it was just a little bit pricey for the quantity they were giving

  • 1/5 abrar h. 2 years ago on Google
    One chilled khobas with labanah paste on it. And water by 5 SR. Yes all because they have many lights ON & want to cover electricity bill. Bad experience with three different menu.

  • 4/5 Ghadeer J. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite restaurant with very nice decorations Fast service Polite employees Menu has variety of options Food was delicious Falafel also was delicious but don’t expect it to be something out of the ordinary Prices were high compared to the served portions Will visit again and looking forward to try more dishes ✅

  • 5/5 Omar T. 4 months ago on Google
    Superb! The food is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is charming, and the prices are very reasonable. The food came everything was fresh and everything was flawless actually. The branch manager Renzie is really friendly and so does all the staff mementos who gave us a free desert and was always in assistance. Worth every penny & I totlly recommend the place.

  • 5/5 Toufic Al k. 1 year ago on Google
    We looked for a mixed arabic breakfast and operation falafel was our choice, and it was just the best, all fresh and yummy, and the service was top notch

  • 4/5 Hani S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food quality was terrific in regards to both falafel and shawarma menu. Our servant Mohammad Hussain was friendly and nice, big thanks! Only downside are the prices, pretty costly for the type of food! It will b great to reconsider.

  • 2/5 R A. 3 years ago on Google
    Didn't like what you have to offer in the menu as a Falafel restaurant.. Food was average.. Bill was overpriced for the dishes and service it provides.. But a management who cares is a good sign, wish you luck..!

  • 3/5 Tej M. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste and quality of food is wonderful. Air conditioning is as always not working properly. Although I regularly dine at the restaurant, one philipino staff behaved rudely.

  • 4/5 Euphrates 4 years ago on Google
    This is the first time I visit this restaurant and I don’t need to wait for a table. We went for breakfast early so we don’t wait as usual. The seating areas are simple and the design as well. I liked the food options for breakfast or even if you like sandwiches for lunch or dinner. The waiting time for the food was reasonable, they told us it takes 10-15 minutes but it comes earlier. The Falfel and the meat with cheese manakesh were the best. The eggs ijah was regular and Hummus fatta was not good and the hummus it self was not well done. The atmosphere of this place is nice and cosy with music inside. The staff are not too friendly or may be they need to smile more especially we are still in the morning time :) The price is good and I would definitely go back again.

    .Atmosphere and hospitality is nice but over-priced

  • 2/5 Husain A. 11 months ago on Google
    Falafel operations is in the decline unfortunately. Prices are getting higher and portions are getting smaller. We ordered quinoa salad and it came less than half the bowl which is already small. To give credit to the manager, he put extra portion after we complained. We ordered falafel plate and the hummus portion almost half of what used to be. Two stars because the falafel still taste good but I do not think I will visit again.

    It was my first visit to a operation falafel restaurant, the food was very tasty.😍 The manager's reception was very welcoming when we entered, he was very keen to serve the business excellent and this is very important, thank you. I really appreciate you this.😊 The staff are very welcoming, especially Hassan and Hussein. Their service, treatment and smiles were very comforting. We rarely see employees like Hassan and Hussein. I hope the management of a restaurant takes care of them, they deserve.💐

    (Translated by Google) I ordered a Mix Slider box, it tastes great, and the price is high at 48 riyals for 12 pieces !!!!

    (Translated by Google) I would like to eat them deliciously. I would recommend outdoor sessions if it was winter. We asked for 4 plain food, chickpeas and dough with meat, and order with lemon and enjoy the taste, and we asked for watermelon juice I liked once, and tea milk was excellent. The bread was excellent. If it is finished, they give you an extra charge. The sessions and the delicious taste deserve (Original) اكلهم لذيييذ انصح بالجلسات الخارجيه اذا كان فصل الشتاء طلبنا ٤ طعميه ساده و حمص و عجين باللحم واطلب مع ليمون و استمتع بالطعم و طلبنا عصير بطيخ ماعجبني مره و حليب شاهي كان ممتاز الخبز اذا خلص يعطونك زياده الحساب كان ٧٦ شوي غالي على وجبة فطور لكن مقابل الجلسات والطعم اللذيذ يستاهل

    I tried it last night, and I gotta say it is overrated! The falafel is definitely NOT the best or the most tasty. In addition, we asked for no pickles and it had a dozen!! Chicken shawerma was TOO dry, it had sauce at top and end only. Don't waste your rime and money.. TOO BAD OF AN EXPERIENCE. UPDATE 17/9/2020 ------------------------ They tried to reach out to me. It is too bad of an expiriance to the point I don't want them to talk to me because, there is literally nothing that they can do to compincate thier too bad behaviour and silly service.

    One of my special places but i have a problem with things happened in several times make me look around for alternative places ! 1- many times i found the Kibda dish not available, afternoon Or Night. 2- The waiters are so welcoming but for one reason “tips” otherwise he don’t care that much !!! 3- little bit pricey in normal things ! It’s up to owners but really I prefer to take a look on the menu again compared with the others. 4- The pastries were good but too much big, pricey, not that filling !!
