Charred meat, charred skewers, charred chunks, and charred vomit. I did the last part all by myself.

Just had a chicken shawarma from Falafel boy at an event - soooooooo good! Toasty, generous with chicken, and the pickles. And delicious spicy sauce. Highly recommend! I’ve had a lot of shawarma and this is legit good.

They used to be open in SF and I was so sad they closed the one by me. It’s reliably good every time!

Falafel Boys is the real deal! Their halal options are fantastic, with full plates that come with generous portions. The falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and all the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. You definitely get your money's worth here. The portions are filling, and the flavors are spot on. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or a full meal, this place never disappoints. If you’re in the area and craving some great halal food, Falafel Boys is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

I tend to be skeptical of falafel because often it's dry and crumbly. Not here! The falafel are flavorful and moist. I get the vegan bowl, and once I swirl the tahini, hummus, falafel and veggies along with healthy dollops of the hot sauce, it's a flavor medley in my mouth. Healthy AND delicious!

Love everything here! It always tastes fresh and they are soooo fast. Make sure you sign up for their rewards program. They have some pretty generous offers from time to time as well.

It was ok. Falafel was a bit musty and the hot sauce was mild and not spicy or tasty. Will try again to make sure it wasn't an off day

Ordered to go, and the first thing that struck me was the size of the portions! Not only do i have food for lunch tomorrow for a GREAT price (used a coupon, which made it even better!), but everything was delicious! I’ll be back for more!

This place is a cool, hole in the wall, Mediterranean place to grab food for lunch or before a show at the Fox theater. Nice food. Great sweets after the meal. Very genuine middle eastern treats

Tasty and consistent. I usually get the halloumi bowl with a couple falafel added. The sauces are all very good. Lot's a good flavor but it's a touch too salty for me, so I only eat here once in a while.

Fast and delicious! Both our plates had a nice balance of creamy hummus, savory meat, perfectly baked naan, and refreshing coleslaw. They came with a nice and vibrant red sauce that added a tangy-spicy kick as an option. Everything in the plate was bursting with its own unique and vibrant flavor. Highly recommend.

Parking: Street parking on the street and vicinity. Paid parking garage directly opposite of the building.

Really good falafel wrap-made with toasted rolled wrap. Veggies were fresh and hummus some of the best I’ve had. That and delicious fried haloumni with veggies and a little pita. Excellent service. Little outdoor table section on the street to eat. Great drink selection.
