Falafel near Arcata, CA

“super good shawarma. Best middle eastern food ive had in humboldt.“

“Cute little cottage style restaurant with pleasant atmosphere and outdoor seating. I ordered at a window inside. I got the falafel plater and a pita. The sides I chose were the hummus, pickled beets, zhoug, and baba goulash. The baba goulash was my favorite. The beets were not vinegary and were refreshing. The hummus was tasty and the zhoug nice and spicy. Tasty and crispy falafel balls on a saffron rice drizzled with a tahini sauce was the main dish and the pita was just right. I ate every bite and caught myself food moaning a few times. I sat outside in a sunny spot and enjoyed the view and light breeze. Except 3-4 main dishes containing meat or dairy, the entire menu is vegan. They assured me meat is cooked in different areas and doesn’t share oil. They don’t cross contaminate with vegan dishes. It was after the lunch hour, yet they were busy. I’d go here again and recommend to locals and travelers. The restaurant is just a short ways off the 101 towards the sea on the left. Easy on and off in King Salmon.“
