I had the pita chicken shawarma and it was delicious.10.99 for that is not bad at all.The gentleman was nice and the place was clean.I recommend the place.
This is my favorite restaurant to grab lunch from in Birmingham. This location is only a few minutes walk from the medical district. My go-to order is the falafel wrap with hummus, Jerusalem salad, lettuce, and onions. I drench mine in hot sauce, but be careful, it is really really spicy. I used to get a pita, but it always ripped apart and made a mess while I was eating it. The restaurant gets really busy during lunch hour, but the line moves very fast. The staff is also very friendly. I wish this restaurant was open for longer hours. They opened a second location in Hoover, but it just doesn't taste the same.

Most amazing staff and allergy safe!! The food was absolutely delicious and the value for our portions was excellent.The lovely staff were incredibly kind and accommodating to allergies, they changed their gloves between dishes to avoid contamination and were extremely knowledgeable on what was safe with our allergies. We will be back, and I'm so excited to try more of their flavorful dishes!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free safe items and take cross contamination safety extremely seriously! I feel so safe bringing my friends with allergies here, I always love finding restaurants they can eat at!
Always excellent. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Always clean!

Great food and service - very friendly and healthy options. Not very cozy atmosphere, so more for a in and out kind of meal - definitely worth it!Parking: No street parking, but there is a small parking lot at the back of the shops specially for the customers
The best pitas in Birmingham. Quick easy great food great service. Nice spot on the corner bc there’s usually street parking on 4th. Seriously I logged into google and all that only to leave this 5 star review, it’s that good.

I FALAFEL-ING IN LOVE WITH YOU! Happy New Year everyone! Since it's a new Year, I am kicking off this year with going to some new spots and some old spots too. Falafel Cafe has been on my list for quite some time now. I've been recommended this spot many times. Honestly I falafel that I have missed out on this spot for so long. Located on 19th and 4th! Right around the corner from Publix. This spot is the perfect location for anyone who works at UAB or Children's as it is very easy to walk to. The menu has an array of Mediterranean foods. From of course falafels to hummus, grape leaves and much more. Courtney and I both ordered the Chicken Shawarma. We were able to customize our meal to our liking! Think Chipotle bowl style customization. Service was very good. The woman and man working behind the counter were super sweet and gave amazing recommendations! Courtney got the hot sauce on his pita as I did not. One bite and he was coughing and breaking a sweat. This hot sauce is intense. Be warned! Inside the shop is a little blah. I wished there was some more decor inside. It seemed to just be white walls. Due to this, we chose to sit outside. The out side seating is definitely a plus! If visit Birmingham or as a worker at one of the hospitals, I highly suggest coming to this mediterranean food restaurant. Super easy location and walkable from UAB or Children's!
