This has been our go to for takeout since we discovered it. Nothing I have tried there is anything short of wonderful. The Kofte Burger is perfect, with a nice kick from the harissa, the chicken shawarma sandwich is delicious and my kids’ fave, the falafel are beautiful, I’m running out of adjectives but suffice it to say it’s all good and you should try it. With a side of the fries. The owner is lovely, and makes you feel very welcome. Ask her about the doors. When we have time we like to eat in the restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and unique, you’ll have to go see for yourself.

Delicious food and amazing friendly staff and service. I've tried the falafel sandwich, the special mango Amba dip, lentil soup, and kofta burger so far -- every item is delectable, 10/10 on both, super authentic, and you can tell it is made from scratch and made with care love and thoughtfulness!! Looking forward to trying more menu items in the coming weeks.

Very expensive for falafel, Falafel is garbanzo beans how expensive would that be to an owner? In addition the falafel are smaller than a normal size falafel where we eat in the Middle East or any middle eastern falafel shop here in San Diego it’s like birds food for this much unacceptable. The taste is normal as any falafel out there no big deal. One star for your owner ?

Really yummy falafel bowl. Seasoned perfectly. Would have preferred less sauce but it was very very tasty. I recommend getting the harissa on top

The falafel is so so. Sometimes it’s crunchy and warm, sometimes on the cold and mushy side. I wish there were more side options, drinks and variety of sauces to pick from. They give you a little small cup of sauce. No bathroom in this place to wash your hands they’ll point you to hand sanitizer machine that doesn’t work or it’s empty. Tables need to be cleaned more often. Prices for the food here should be cheaper for what is actually offered.

It was my first time here and my husband’s third. I ordered the falafel bowl and it was perfect! The falafel were so flavorful and the texture was unreal!! The I gradients in the bowl just made them out of this world!
My husband ordered a side of falafel and beef shawarma fries. And they were amazing too! I don’t think you can order anything that doesn’t taste good here. It’s all made fresh to order! We also got the mint lemonade which is the only way I want lemonade now!

I needed to bring lunch to a client (10 people) and reached out via their website. Lialie (owner) got back to me right away and was super communicative and helpful throughout the process of figuring out the right quantity/mix of items.

Pickup was easy, they even helped bring things to my car. The food was a big hit and people were going back for seconds. The flavors are really on point and everything is well seasoned, made fresh and with love! Highly recommend coming here for great food and a welcoming vibe.

Everywhere I go in the world, I try to find Falafel that tastes like back home. So far, I found that in a Berlin restaurant and at Falafel Heights in San Diego. The owner clearly loves what she does and loves making delicious food and sharing it with others. The food is fresh and authentic. The service is genuine and helpful and the atmosphere reminds me of home. I'll 100% come back whenever I'm in SoCal. Make sure to try the falafel and Spicy Hummus!

Vegetarian options: Falafel and Hummus, the main two ingredients this restaurant uses are both vegetarian.

Parking: Free street parking

Kid-friendliness: Place is family friendly and menu has kid friendly options
