“Family owned neighborhood store. Very nice for buying herbs, spices, teas, fruits, nuts, fresh produce, and glass jars with sauces and vegetables. Very friendly cashier always says hi and is ready to provide help when needed. Has a small kitchen that sells pizzas and delicious Mediterranean dishes.“

“The food is incredibly good, fresh and tasty. The service is excellent. The Village maze plate was fabulous and the portions are generous. The price is low compared to other restaurants in the area.“

“LITERALLY THE BEST WE’VE EVER HAD. The meat was perfect, and the Kanafah is a MUST. The platter can feed a family of eight. We had such a good time eating here, and will be coming back soon!

All hallal. Also we got in a little late, and they were still able to accommodate which was very nice of them. Food and service 10/10“

“When it comes to Mediterranean food, Falafel Tazah truly stands out. I've been a loyal customer at all of their locations for over ten years, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Their chicken and veggie kabobs are my go-to favorites, and their falafels, hands down the best I've ever had. Their food certainly lives up to the name with that unmistakable fresh taste every single time.

The restaurant is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which adds to the whole experience. The owner is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet and goes out of his way to make sure every customer leaves happy.

Keep up the amazing work, Team Falafel Tazah!“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“Healthy, tasty, good portions, fair priced. No complaints. Ordered pickup via their website and order was ready as scheduled. I got the falafel container spicy ($14.20) without banana peppers and garbanzo beans, added baba ghannouj ($1.25). Everything was tasty. I'm not real into falafels but this one is probably the best quality one I've had. Crispy outside. Not dry. Sauces were not spicy at all but that's subjective. It's basically a takeout spot. Parking lots nearby are usually pretty busy. Worth a try“

“Delicious, fresh ALWAYS food. Check out the hummus when made by the lady owner. It is the smoothest, most delicious I have ever eaten!“

“Delicious vegan options!😋“

“I was visiting the area and found this place on Maps near my hotel. WOW what a find! It was hard making a decision, because everything on the menu sounded great. I got a kefta kebab plate: 3 big pieces of kefta on yellow rice with roasted veggies. It came with a nice salad with lots of finely chopped Persian cucumbers, and a very generous dollop of hummus. And, of course, a lovely big pita. This made dinner last night and lunch today. So yummy. If you like spice, say YES to the hot sauce! Tangy and delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj
