Very simple place. Food usually good. Last time my schnitzel was way too fried and hard to eat. Great salad though

Hi Lo

As you can tell by the >5700 reviews this place is the most deserving of 5 stars out of all the eating spots on Google Maps.To start with they prepare vegetarian orders in a kitchen kept completely separate from where meat orders are prepared. I'm not a vegetarian but I still think that says a lot about how they take care of customers. Every single employee I encountered was so friendly and welcoming. It really reminded me of the family owned food stands in Hawaii. Everything is so fresh, beautifully presented and soooo reasonably priced it really is a tremendous value. It wasn't the Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean I'm personally used to but I was still very happy with everything I ate. They put lentils in their rice so you get plenty of fiber mixed in your carbohydrates. My favorite: The Pita bread. Damn!I'm sure the pickiest eaters on the planet would be happy with their food from Falafel STOP. My new favorite restaurant!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian orders are prepared in a separate, meat free kitchen.Parking: They are so busy the parking lot is a little hectic

Good food other than the fries, reasonable prices. Fries need a rethink. It would be nice to get a Jerusalem Mix with the meat it's intended to have but I'll assume that's just an adaptation to the local market.

Seriously, and I don’t take this lightly, this is my favorite Shawarma place in the bay. The staff is so friendly sometimes when you go into a place, you just feel like somebody is there for the paycheck, however, these guys lived in breathe Shawarma.I’d go here for dinner, lunch, a quick snack, really any use case.This is a must stop by. Bring your friends bring your family.I recommend this restaurant

Authentic Israel experience. I love the shawarma in pita bread. Prices are the best compared to other falafel places. Good price, good food.

The food here is fantastic but the high chair has no safety straps. They also only have one chair so sometimes you can't get it and I can't go with other new moms. There also isn't filtered water, just water from a tap or bottled. My toddler loves watching then make the food!

The food is really tasty, I usually eat meat, but here the falafel is just as good as a meat sandwich! Everything is very fresh. I like that there's an option to get 1/2 pita, I usually can't finish a whole one so this is perfect for me. I've also tried the beef kebabs and they were grilled to perfection with a little charring just the way i like them. Very flavorful. The chicken marinade wasn't my favorite as I'm used to a more tangy lebanese-style shawarma marinade with less nutmeg.Inside there are two different grills, one vegetarian and one for meat. Their ordering system is a little awkward and intimidating, but the staff is always nice and patient. You have to order in the middle and then pick up in either the left or right counter, depending on your order. Then the person at the counter will ask you which toppings you want, but it's impossible to tell what the toppings are. So I usually get "everything" because it's difficult to communicate. I've also had some luck with saying which toppings i didn't want, so keep that in mind if there are toppings you need to avoid. Overall I'm still happy with the toppings, i always end up with plenty of fresh vegetables in my sandwich.

Well I’m a fool. They do have wifi… my mistake. I didn’t notice and was too nervous to ask in person… I don’t talk to people often. Sorry. Also they have really good food and vegetarian options. I don’t eat meat. I live in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. My sister and I order food from here all the time. I don’t go to eat there often because of social anxiety. I’m autistic and have epilepsy so I feel more safe at home or in the park nearby. But I do love your food. Sorry for being mean. I was probably in a bad mood.
