Rare find but distinguished experience. This restaurant is simply the best place to dine in the Aurora area. Service and food are excellent!
I literally wanted to leave this review in the middle of my meal, but literally couldn't stop eating. I didn't know that the entree also came with a salad and a side of hummus accompanied by warm pita bread. I didn't even look at the menu as I noticed other customers had ordered the lamb shank, and it looked so appetizing I immediately settled on that. I grew up in the food industry and I can tell you that it is rare to have a lamb shank cooked to perfection, amazing isn't even...read full review
Zack and his crew make delicious food, at an amazing price, and are kind and professional doing what they do so well. I lived in Hell’s Kitchen NY for a decade. That doesn’t make me a food expert, but this is the first shawarma I’ve had since Mamoun’s down in the West Village that was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Stop in, order out, but GO.

Golden Falafel is a family-owned restaurant that offers authentic Arabic food, known for its kindness and delicious dishes. The atmosphere is very clean, and the service is attentive and quick. The chicken shawarma sandwich, gyro, and beef shawarma wraps are favorites, featuring well-cooked meat and healthy portions. The falafel is moist and not overcooked, while the baba ganoush is elevated with pomegranate seeds. Customers enjoy excellent food, including hummus and falafel, with portions and prices that are very fair. The restaurant provides a variety of vegetarian options that are clearly marked on the menu. Some reviewers mention that the tabouleh salad could have more greens and benefit from garlic toum and pickled radishes. Despite some minor criticisms, Golden Falafel is recommended for its quality, flavor, and affordability, showcasing the immense love the family puts into their business and food. The gyro meat is seasoned to perfection, and the fries are notably homemade, while the Turkish coffee has received praise for its strong flavor. Although some customers found the pita bread dry and not homemade, many still express a desire to return for the delicious sandwiches and filling meals that keep them satisfied throughout the day.
