Falafel near Santa Monica, CA

“I love this place, have been coming here from before the pandemic to now as I am returning to Smc. And I will continue to support this establishment. Its small but hearty. The food is great and the customer service is welcoming and friendly.Parking: If youre a student at Smc, you can just walk it there. I do, I just park in the parking lot 3 of Smc. If you dont attend, then parking will be difficult as the lot is small and fills up quickly.Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp to go inside, but the restaurants dining area is a bit cramped.“

“Falafel Inc. was created to be an affordable and Vegan option for those who want a taste of the Palestinian flavors the owner grew up with in his family of refugees. The walls are lined up with the same plywood material used in falafel stands in refugee camps with photos of refugees lining it. For every $10 spent, the restaurant donates and guarantees feeding one refugee one day worth of meals through the World Food Program. I ordered the shawarma sandwich and baklava and I wasn't disappointed. The service was quick and they had my shawarma warm and ready within minutes. There are benches inside the restaurant to wait on or eat your food quickly; otherwise there are three tables outside that could seat 6 people in total. I highly recommend this place! I got my information from these blogs:“

“My Favorite L.A. restaurant by all means. I need to feel the love one puts into their food. And this is the place I feel it the most. Delish, home-style, served with a smile in a kind, friendly way. The one place that I walk into and feels like home. Thank you for you guys“

“I've been eating at Ameen's for over 6 years! I was thankful to find a macrobiotic food option on campus and here I am still taking bites out of crispy on the outside falafels with fluffy, herbaceous and flavor packed insides. The homemade pickles are probably my favorite part. Gives the wrap a deep bite! Fresh, filling and full of love. 6 years down, I wonder how many years to go! Heaven will also have his falafel so I guess you could say through eternity.“

“Super cute restaurant with adorable outdoor seating. The food is extremely flavorful and delicious, not just any normal shawarma! The Moroccan spices and choice of veggies in the wrap take it to a whole new level you’ve never tasted before if you havnt had Moroccan cuisine!“

“I love the food. Multiple flavors and textures. .The service is efficient and the ambiance is cool for a fastfood place. The price points are competitive and you get a large portions. Parking is questionable when its crowded beware of parking enforcement when parking on the street.“

“Got off the airport shuttle and went to this Middle Eastern restaurant in Inglewood close to the airport. It only has a couple tables inside so it's for carryout mostly it seems. Al Hamra has most of the classic favorites. Lots of the good stuff like falafel, hummus, tabbouli, and more. The platters are big and are a lot of food for an okay price. A pretty small place but they have a lot on the menu, and it's better than it looks to be honest. It's not pretty from the outside but it's clean inside. There's the counter to order at, and there's just a few tables. Most people call in orders and get it to go. We were already there so we ate there. It's about $14 for the platters. These are big and come with lots of stuff. I got the Falafel Plate. This comes with hummus, rice, and salad. Good falafel. These were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Ones like these are best. Then I used the pitas to make sandwiches out of these. Convenient place after getting off the shuttle a few blocks from here. It's pretty quick and simple. There's great choices like the falafel for vegans and vegetarians.“

“Stopped in for a later lunch after strolling around the LA Zoo for a few hours. Unfortunately, they were out of beef shawarma (and don't serve it with lamb), so Jim G. and I opted to share the Rib Eye Plate. We had to wait about 8 minutes or so for the rib eye to cook, which is totally fine. The plate is massive! All the sides on it, plus eggplant and fries on another plate. We also opted to order a little falafel to taste and they were very tasty! The rib eye was but there wasn't really a lot of it there. I realize it's an expensive meat, but the $30 plate cost is comparably more expensive than the other meats. We shared a bottle of red wine ($37) and chilled out with our friends, who all enjoyed their food, too. Huge parking lot in the back, with just a short walk to get to the front of the shopping center, where Tel Aviv is.“

“If you're looking for incredible rotisserie chicken, look no further than Zankou Chicken. The food here is absolutely fantastic. The chicken itself is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Every bite bursts with deliciousness. It's clear they use high-quality ingredients, and their rotisserie cooking method creates a juicy bird. Plus, their sides are no afterthought. They complement the chicken perfectly, adding another layer of flavor to the meal. Whether you choose the hummus, garlic sauce, or something else, you can't go wrong. Overall, Zankou Chicken is a winner. Fresh and flavorful food“
