Had the gyro plate. Gyro kind of dry but seasoned okay. Rice was okay, hummus was okay, pita bread was not that good. Baba ghanoush is thick with a strong smoke flavor. Dolmas were small and similar to pre made canned versions.Falafel is small, has a good flavor, crispy outside.Service was fast and friendly.Parking: Paid parking lots and garages nearby, paid street parking around the block.

My family and I have been coming to this place for years. I took my son for lunch and I wasn't hungry, so I did not get anything to eat. As we were leaving, one of the owners stops me on my way out and asks my what I had to eat? In a rude way, apparently we have to get food in order to sit in their premises. I will not continue to give my business to a money hungry person. Plus their hygiene is questionable.

Such fresh food! We were shopping and stopped in for a quick lunch. Delicious and friendly staff.

The food was ok, but it's extremely expensive for the portion sizes (a side of dolmas is two small dolmas) and weirdly rigid with ordering- you can't order a full size salad and side of rice, only half and half, or one or the other. The knives are wrapped, but the forks are just tossed in a bin next to the kitchen above the trash.

Food was okay.Place was cramped and dirty.They acted like I was an idiot for asking if I could order rice on the side. I wish they’d let me after I saw the measly servings.15 dollars got me a watery tablespoon of baba ganush, two of the tiniest dolmas I’ve ever seen, a stale pita, and maybe two tablespoons of chicken.I left this place feeling hungry and cheated. Never again.

delicious, authentic, affordable. will be back!!! the pita pocket was the best falafel i’ve had in
I'm usually pretty picky so when I saw the lamb/beef gyro I was pretty hesitant, but decided to just try it out while I was in the area.I didn't change anything about the gyro, and I'm always shocked at just how much I like it. It's not too doughy, or too meaty or anything, everything perfectly balances out. I'm sure I'll be taking my friends and family here some day!

**do not eat here!!** My experience at Falafel King was incredibly disappointing. Not only did they discriminate against me and my service animal by asking for proof, which is illegal, but the staff also treated me with patronizing behavior. The food was below par, with cold dishes and even a hair in my hummus. Look, I respect service workers as I've been one before but the overall lack of respect and hygiene standards make this establishment one to seriously avoid. I would not recommend dining here if you expect to be treated with dignity and served decent food.
