    The shawarma was amazing and the lentil soup was just as good as I remember it. I've never been a big fan of falafel but apparently I've never had it done right. The falafel rings here are amazing. I strongly recommend giving it a try. this place is very authentic and the food is delicious. And they're also Tech friendly with outlets with usb chargers built in at six of the tables.

    MOVE OVER PITA JUNGLE!! I will warn you that the plaza they're located in is the only downside, it's hidden in here. Also, the inside is night and day from the rest of the businesses around. I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner restaurant! The menu is small, with just enough variety. Not overwhelming with options like other places. Servings are GENEROUS! which is never a bad thing. As far a quality. Crisp, Fresh, and Delicious. The cut no corners here and provide service quickly, with a smile 5+ stars for Casa De Falafel. This is my new Mediterranean spot!

    The food is so fresh and flavorful. I appreciate the amazing service we received on our first visit. Management and servers were so amazing to us and were super helpful in helping decide food options. I love the lentil soup they even offer the soup powder base to make it at home. The establishment is so clean and had great seating. Don't leave without without dessert. They offer alcoholic beverages as well to enjoy. All juices are made in house for margaritas the Lemon mint is amazing. Will definitely be back for more next visit to Arizona.

    Very clean and bright! The food here is amazing! I highly recommend you going here if you are on a budget. The bathrooms are very clean and modern. You should get the Falafel doughnuts! The clerk was very kind and offered us to try some of the dips. This place is definitely o ne of the best I have been to.

    Casa De Falafel have the friendliest staff. The dining area is always clean. I haven't had anything on the menu I didn't devour. The Falafel rings are very creative. My favorite item is the Chicken Sharma sandwich with their spicy mango sauce. This comes with their signature lentil soup. If you visit during lunch be prepared to wait due to the fact many ASU west students and Thunderbird hospital employees dine here. You can call ahead to pick up to lessen your wait time.Overall 10/10 .

    I was looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat today while in the West Valley. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across this Gem! I was promised the best falafel I’ve ever had and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is very clean the menu Has a great selection and includes a good selection of vegan options. I Finished off my delicious falafel sandwich, mouth watering lentil soup with a sweet delicacy of homemade baklava. It’s far from where I live, but is worth an occasional trip for and I will plan on it when working in the area.

    Delicious food, friendly service. I ordered chicken shawarma plate with lentil soup and it was soooo good! The ingredients taste fresh and the flavor is well balanced and not over-condimented. The restaurant is very orderly and clean. Highly recommended!

    This is a hidden gem for sure. Who in their right mind would think that a restaurant located inside a gas station would be delicious? Well, this place is delicious! Absolutely amazing. Staff is very friendly as well. The spicy green sauce is over the top tasty. This place has left me so surprised in a good way. Try it! Don’t let the gas station front scare you away. You will be happy you did.

    هذا هو أفضل طعام شرق أوسطي في ويست فينيكس! This is the best steak shawarma I've had in the Northwest Valley, and I've been here over 25 years! The red rice and lentil soup were divine. For the lower reviews, I don't know what they're talking about??? They must have come on off day, or still didn't have any sense of taste or smell after covid 😆😆😆. Do yourself a favor, and come get lunch or dinner here. Vegetarian options, too!

    The absolute BEST restaurant! Since they started out at the gas station to now owning their own restaurant they have been consistent if not getting better with their meals. I have a hard time find good falafel and theirs remind me of back home. Their beef shawarma is so good, juicy and tender. Their sandwiches are big, full and fulfilling. Also sandwich comes with side of their delicious lentil soup. I love this place so much

    I wasnt too enthusiastic about my food. I usually do a happy food dance when things are delicious. Maybe I should have tried just the falafel. The flavors just weren't there for me and the wrap was tough to bite into. I think I was expecting it to be served in a naan or pita bread. Beef or chicken shawarma wrapped and grilled in a tortilla? It just seemed like the combo didn't go together for me.

    This place is outstanding. Very clean and fresh. And the spicy options are no joke fire. I haven't tried everything yet but I have never had a problem here. I travel far just for how good it is.

    We love this place. Excellent food and amazing friendly staff. We have family around this area of town so it's a drive for us, but well worth it!

    There is one thing that upsets me about Casa De Falafel, it's that I didn't write this review years ago. I have loved Casa since 2016. I had started a vegan journey and heard thru casual conversation that they had the best falafel. I can guarantee it is the best I have ever had. The spicy green sauce is my favorite to go with it. The lentil soup is always fresh and delicious. Family run and owned by a wonderful family. Highly recommend!!

    The homemade burger was really good and of course the falafel sandwich was really good too and the Hummus was so good and the dessert as well go try them you’re not gonna be disappointed. Thank you guys for the service 🙏

    I love this place. Heard about it from my boyfriends dad. He has been coming here since their time in the gas station building. The food is always consistently amazing and everyone is always so kind. I always get my sandwich without tomatoes and the sauce on the side and they always listen. The portions are also great! So happy to live close enough to come by at least a few times a month. They always have a handful of customers dining at any given time, good for them! Happy to see the business is thriving.

    Wonderful falafel plate. I really enjoyed the rings. They were more crisp than normal falafel, so it had a great texture. I'm not normally a big hummus fan, but there hummus was so fresh and delicious. We also had the chicken, and it was great as well. The lentil soup was a nice bonus for more variety.

  • 4/5 Rachel N. 2 years ago on Google
    Would be a five star review since the food is honestly really good; however, the customer service wasn’t the best. I was asked if I wanted the spicy or medium sauce and asked for spicy, I really like spicy food, but the person working told me to get medium and that the spicy was much too spicy. The medium isn’t very spicy at all, so that was a bit disappointing. If I hadn’t gotten takeout I would have gone back to ask for the spicy instead.

    Best falafel ever in Arizona. Very nice place and the stuff are so professional. Best customer service. Thank you so much.

    When we read the reviews we decided we had to give Casa de Falafel a try. Glad we did; the vegan falafel sandwich met our expectations. The lentil soup was wonderful. We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Jess M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best falafels in the valley and the chicken shawarma sandwich was amazing.

  • 5/5 Brian J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best hidden secrets in Phoenix. Terrific food and service. Perhaps the cleanest restaurant I have had the privilege to dine in. Can't wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Shelley 3 years ago on Google
    First I was surprised and a little hesitant but my son and I decided to try small whole in the wall plates. So impressed. Had to wait about 25 minutes totally fine the food was fresh. Very nice people and food very authentic! I had a veggie falafal. So good? Definitely coming back!
