“When I first walked into this establishment, I didn’t know my taste buds would get a glimpse of heaven. My food was perfectly cooked and seasoned— from the wrap, to the falafel and hummus. Not only is everything delicious, but it was all so fresh I genuinely tasted the freshness. Additionally, staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the establishment itself is so nice. Thank you for such an authentic and delicious meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“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!“

“I hope the business owner reads this. Your employee is costing you money. And your order yourself screen outside isn’t helping your business. We’re trying to order a falafel sandwich not a 5 course meal. Keep it simple and your employee should be able to take a simple order at the window with specific instructions.“

“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!“

“Good food!!!! Close to my house 🏠“

“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!😋“

“Good schwarma, great looking on a plate and good, fast service. Only personal preference is that there was too much sauce and too many veggies, including pickles? This caused the wrap (+ for toasting Levant wrap). This caused the wrap to gush sauce at the bottom and falls apart.“
