    Amazing middle Eastern food. Had the kebab plate, very generous with the portion size and everything was good. The hummus was also very creamy and smooth and very fragrant. The kebab had a nice chat on the outside with a nice crust while the inside was juicy and tender. The sides were also extremely fresh and tasty. Definitely going back again to try other dishes.

    Best falafel in the area!!!!we ordered falafel and sabich (fried eggplant in a pita) It was delicious! The falafel was exactly like in Israel. The pita was fresh, and tchini and humus were delicious. I really recommend this place! The prices are reasonable.

    Delicious authentic food! The hummus was really creamy and I loved it. Portion size was big and very filling. Lots of different toppings to choose from, but I got all :) Service was fast and the chefs were really kind. Highly recommend this place if you’re down for a yummy meal!!

    Really enjoyed the food here! It was cool to choose exactly what you wanted and seeing them making your food right in front of you. I had the chicken shawarma in the pita, and it was delicious; I especially liked the hummus inside the pita. The fries were nice and crispy, but they got dry and hard a little too quickly, which is my only gripe. The staff were excellent and served us quickly.

    I've come here about 5 times in the span of several months. The food is just that good. I always get the plate with majadra and pick a meat that I'm in the mood for. You really can't go wrong with anything here. The little peppers are really spicy, but oh so good.

    One of my friends had ordered food for a party and I absolutely relished it then. I gave it another try and went to this place on a Sunday. The place wasn't too crowded but it wasn't empty either. Hands down, they are authentically Mediterranean and quantity of the food is great as well. Their kebabs are a must try!

    Good place grab a quick bite after a short hike. The food was delicious, a little sour dominant though. We ordered a half falafel vegetarian pita and Sabich in pita. The Pita was amazing, soft and pillowy texture. The falafel was juicy and flavorful. We absolutely loved their desert Bavarian Cream (desert was 5/5) Lots of parking and seating available as well. Service is quick and convenient.

    Food is absolutely amazing 🤤. Atmosphere doesn't look like much, but you go for the food. Service was good but the dual counters and menu is not the easiest. Order ahead ahead sure you have a bit of time to review all the options.

    I went with my friends and got a plate of shawarma. It was easy to place the order and get the order., the food was really yummy.. I had some leftovers for next day and they tasted as good. Will definitely recommend it to others and will come back again

    Excellent food for vegetarians. Made with love, right in front of you. Freshest of falafels, flavorful and moist. Service was excellent. It was a bit noisy but that’s a given for busy places. Enjoyed every bite.

    Large portion sizes and flavorful so this place is still a good value. I really liked the chicken shawarma and the super soft pita they had. Would come again. Go here instead of Halal Guys.

    Very good! The food taste good and not super salty or with too much sauce. The employees are attentive and knowing the work flow well that customer do not stuck at the door and guided promptly. The meat is soft and the pita bread is fresh. Everything seems great besides the layout is a bit confusion but who cares if the food it good!

    We love coming here. Falafel is made to perfection and there is a variety of options that come with it. Some are: salads, plates, pita, etc. we like the one in the pita. Fresh food with great taste!

    Tasty food and reasonable price Decent portion, plenty of vegetarian and non vegetarian options Falafel salad are very recommended They have grill options such as chicken and lamb as well

  • 5/5 Serena H. 1 year ago on Google
    DEFINITELY worth the hype, in my opinion (and i havent even tried the falafel yet! what a gem of a spot, where you can get a HEARTY plate of delicious and balanced israeli food for a reasonable price. on a sunday afternoon, it was bustling full of people of all ages—families eating together, young professionals grabbing a quick bite, and old couples enjoying the sunday sun with their meal. the only downside was the slightly confusing ordering system (they divide into vegetarian and non vegetarian sections), but the staff was very nice and happy to give recommendations and advice :). looking forward to my next visit!

    CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! Found this local stop after an outing with friends. So glad we checked it out. 5/5 Awesome menu with meat and vegetarian options 5/5. SHABANG! Out of this world tasty!!! And the portions were HUGE! Lots of tasty condiments to accompany the already tasty meats. The marinated grilled chicken was ooooh la la. Falafel was mmmmmm good. 5/5 Service was OUTSTANDING. Loved the friendly lady who gave me extra pickled veggies to enjoy. She was the seeetest! 3/5 Its a roadside place. low key. could be a little cleaner You could always do take out unless you want yo sit on the moderate benches to eat. YUM!

    UPDATED REVIEW: on 6/18 we ate there. Ordered falafel salad and all of us had terrible diarrhea. This is one of our favorite restaurants to go to and it’s really upsetting about the food safety :( — original review — mildly confusing ordering experience, but the food is absolutely amazing!! Got the classic hummus plate with half a dozen of falafels. Everything was well seasoned ❤️ will come back again soon!!! Had this after an absolutely awful experiment at a brunch place this weekend, falafel stop really restored my faith in restaurants in South Bay 😂 Also got falafel salad - so good

  • 5/5 Prashant B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a treat! Love this place for their Falafel Salad and the Sabich wraps! They use tons of pickled vegies in their salad and the flavor profile is sour, spicy, and crunchy! All things I enjoy.

  • 5/5 Guang C. 1 year ago on Google
    The Jerusalem mix is fire, portions are also really huge but reasonably priced. The dessert is also worth trying once. Service could be slightly better and the menu is a bit confusing but the food is top tier

  • 5/5 Tammy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Outdoor dining, great for nowadays! The falafel was fresh, soft and delicious. The salad had fresh ingredients, very refreshing, light tasting. The hummus seemed to be a bit on the watery side, not sure if that's the style. The chicken meat was grilled well, not dry.

  • 4/5 sreeparna m. 2 years ago on Google
    Genuinely good food, friendly staff. Except it to be crowded but we got place to sit in about 10 minutes of ordering. A lot of vegetarian, vegan and meat options :) It would be great if they can also focus on sustainability by providing dine in food in plates or compostable packages, and work to setup compost collection.

    Pros: fresh & tasty food, quick service, very affordable, convent parking. Cons: noisy from traffic and awful music/speakers. Takeaway: excellent place as an alternative to junk food, perfect for a quick bite in a sunny working day or weekend. Not an ideal place for a relaxed meal.
