That’s a joke to call that pitta with lettuce “Sabich”.we didn’t expect to get an original sabich but at least something close.We got this joke for 15$ and that’s definitely a waste of money.the most important ingredient for sabich is the eggplant. Me and my wife order both sabich and both of us got even one eggplant. When we ask the lady ( she was really nice ) about that, she told us that she’s sorry but they’re out of eggplant. ( Oh ok so just let’s fill it with lettuce instead )Also the Malabi supposed to be sweet and not sour.Bottom line - the place have potential, and I don’t care about the price if that’s worth it - but I can’t believe that I paid 35$ for 2 pitas with lettuce.
Very good and very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised. The falafel is high quality - it isn’t that dry hard falafel that so many places serve. They also don’t skimp at all on amount. The falafel pita was very filling.
Falafel tastes okay, I think it could use a little more salt and more of the spices.Parking is a mess around this area.
We were welcomed with a sample of two different falafels - regular and barbecue. Later they brought us a sample of Churro falafels, 4 pieces. So generous!I would never imagine falafel as a desert, such a unique flavor, but a little sweet to my taste.Everything we have ordered was super yummy. Both bowl and pita were filled with delicious veggies. The pita bread was fresh and fluffy. Falafels absolutely one of the best I've ever had.
As an Israeli that lives abroad, I’m always seeking to find a falafel place that has the “real thing”. Well, I found it!This is by far the best falafel I’ve eaten outside of Israel. It’s fresh and crispy outside and soft inside. Perfect!Try the different flavours and the sweet option too!I also REALLY recommend the Sabich. Yammmmmy.Kudos, we will definitely come back.
Home goodness pita sandwich with fresh served fries. Love the street scene to eat my lunch.
Parking: street parking and the lot across the street.
Magical. One of the city’s best businesses and not well-enough known. They always offer a sample of that day’s special, so sometimes you get to try whatever the imagination brought forward! Pickled onions are a must and try ALL the sauces for a culinary lift to your meal. I’ve eaten there for years (but not often, I admit bc: fried) and each visit reminds me that I need to spread the word better. French fries in your pita/falafel sandywich? Yes, please. She’s got a good thing going, here!
This is place is bomb. In a cute area too, so you can spend the entire day walking and munching. Absolutely would return if I find myself in the area
I used to really love this place. The falafel is still high-quality, but why on EARTH did they start selling eggs?? The sign now has to distinguish between vegetarian and vegan items (which is v, which is vg??). They also got rid of the two-person share box, which makes ordering our favorite thing more complicated and expensive.
Switched to canola oil and sells eggs Updated from previous review on 2018-06-09

Great chickpea options sauces and desserts
rude… why would you do this to me
Flavorful and fun! They make traditional falafel, but they also experiment with different flavors. Today they had a serrano one, red pepper one and a cinnamon one! They offered samples too!They make the most out of their small space. I'd definitely go back.
La vie en rose avec falafelLA vie en rose with these falafelThis place make the best authentic food , me typing a review about this place make my mouth watering ?Delicious vegan food ?Such a national treasureThanks guys for the awesome recipe ??
I’m not a vegan, but a good friend suggested it and Im open to all types of food so why not.Fed 3 people for under $50, and its the only vegan meal I’ve ever eaten that didn’t feel like a compromise. I’d eat here again for sure.Outside seating only, food made fresh for you, so expect to wait 10 minutes or so.
