Honestly one of the best places to grab a quick, delicious and healthy lunch. We come here every time we are out in California. Highly recommend as a food stop, best falafel in the Bay Area ❤️?

Worst falafel I’ve ever had. Everything tasted like mayo. Nothing was fresh. Go literally anywhere else.

This falafel is the best in the bay area. The falafel wrap is my favorite. I love the red sauce and tahini sauce.

Are they not the place it used to be. 10/25 - bought Chicken Sandwitch - so horrible - not sure when did they make the chicken patty - hard like a rock - not fresh at all. Same with Chicken pita too. People go there with high expectation - please don't disappoint them.

One thing I hate about this place…it made me realize every other falafel I’ve tried is no comparison to this place. I decided to try this because I looked up “cheap eats” on Yelp, saw the staggering amounts of 5 star reviews and said why not. The friendliest crew here as I asked them it’s my first time here what should I get. “Falafel”…can’t argue with the name of the place nor the guy i asked. After I finished my meal, I was blown away at how delicious it was. I’ve tried 3 other places back in SF…nothing comes close. I’m looking forward to coming back again, for those falafels next time I’m in San Jose.

I have been coming here for lunch for many years. I always get the special. It's always ready in a flash. I hadn't been here since COVID-19. Went there today and it was still just as good as ever. I always get extra red sauce. Makes it twice as good. The veggies inside are always fresh and crisp. And the banana shake hits the spot to cool you down after finishing the falafel. I have been to almost all falafel places in the bay area. It is the best falafel place in the bay area. I would say in California or even the United States but haven't been to all there. UPDATE: post COVID the prices have gone up. The daily lunch special is now $13, large falafel and banana shake.

$13 for a falafel and shake combo.
Only get the banana milk shake, all other flavors don't work.
