We've been to Falafel Cafe years ago and we loved it. Then they changed up a bit and we didn't enjoy it. Today in 2025 we went back and took a chance and we're glad we did. Falafel Cafe is back to being amazing! From the falafel, hummus, the beef schwarma so delicious you won't be disappointed.

This was my first time trying food from here, and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and falafel both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh and everything was made to perfection. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

I love eating here. The fresh food is fantastic! My go to is the hummus bowl with gyro meat, pickles, red cabbage, Jerusalem salad and tahini sauce. Add some onions and feta and it is pure heaven! Mint tea to wash it down. Do try the baklava!

The food is remarkable. The falafel is so so good and the shawarma is incredible. The butter chicken is unexpectedly sooo flavorful and delicious

When you go make sure you get the garlic sauce and that when you get hummus that they add all the good stuff like olive oil and seasoning to it.

You will definitely be full or have some left overs for a later snack and you will not be disappointed.

One of the best spots around!

Vegetarian options: The falafel they have is one of my favorite vegetarian options I have probably ever had!

Service wasn’t the best, the falafel was hard…. Expected the food to be a lot better based on reviews.
