This is a no frills place serving up great tasting food. I got a chicken gyro that was definitely worth coming back for when in the area. The owner is incredibly friendly and told me it’s been in business since 1984! Come support this local business if you’re nearby, he won’t disappoint! Great pricing as well.

It’s definitely a hole in the wall. What you see is what you get. It’s run by one man (very nice and warm) so please be kind and patient - the kufta wrap and falafels are worth it!

I’ve ordered it for delivery and gotten take out at the location. I got the basic falafel wrap and a side of pita and hummus. The wrap was excellent, with an ideal ratio of pickled vegetables, hummus, falafel and lavash. The falafel, as other reviewers have already stated, is excellent. I’d go as far to say this is the best falafel I’ve had in the city.

I left wishing I could have gotten more; the salads and desserts look awesome too.

I can’t wait to have this next time I’m in the neighborhood!

Kid-friendliness: Very unsanitary, the guy was sitting at a table doing something I came in no one was there I ordered and he began making our sandwiches without washing his hands or wearing gloves smashing the falafel in the pita with his bare fingers. Very disgusting I will go back and tell him.

I ordered from their food truck a couple days ago during the Bhangra Night Market event. The person taking my order provided excellent customer service and was patient with me while I ordered. Really delicious food too! The falafel was so good and I loved the hummus as well. Highly recommend.

I recently visited this longstanding establishment, but my experience was profoundly disappointing. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the filth. The walls were covered in grease, which even dripped down a decorative picture. The restaurant was cluttered with supplies in an unorganized manner.There was no greeting or acknowledgment from the staff. When an employee finally did address me, it was with a nasty attitude and an aggressive tone, making me feel unwelcome. Despite my initial reservations about the state of the restaurant and its lack of patrons on a typically busy day, I decided to stay.Unfortunately, the food did not redeem the experience. The oil used for frying was clearly dirty and old, which was evident in the taste of the falafel. The falafel itself was disgusting, a far cry from what I expected.As an Arab and a Palestinian, I was particularly disheartened. This restaurant is a disservice to our cuisine and culture. It's baffling to me how this place remains in business and doesn't have more negative reviews. I cannot recommend it to anyone seeking quality Middle Eastern food.

It is literally best falafel I’ve had in the US. There’s only one warm elderly gentleman billing and cooking the food so you need to be patient. But the food is worth waiting. Highly recommend! You can’t go wrong. Don’t come here for the service/ atmosphere, come here for the delicious food.

Just moved into the neighborhood so was giving them a try. We got a lamb plate to go. The portion is so small. No veggies no rice; just some sauce, passable amounts of meat, and a thin pita bread. Would not recommend and would not go back... Decent flavor but just doesn't justify the price tag....

This place use to be good. Not anymore overpriced undercooked falafel the worst I have had lacking flavor and seasoning. Advice stay away. Location also filthy yuk. Save your time and money

Expensive bland liquidy hummus. Tasted like puréed tahini, beans and salt water. I don't even like spicy or overly seasoned hummus and this stuff was *very* subpar and bland.
The falafels are good here, koftas are decent, baklava is hit or miss and way overpriced.
