We were ready to try Falafal Achla but when we arrived, the restaurant tables did not look clean even though it was empty. No one was around and we waited a couple of minutes before leaving. We realize it is very difficult to hire staff. We just weren't comfortable.

Well I accidentally came here. Was headed to Hummus Achla and noticed this place across the street which is called "Falafal Achla". I assumed this was owned by the same people. I decided to go to the "Falafal" version of the "Achla" empire because it looked newer from the outside. Before I get into this review I'd like to say I risked my life for a falafal, by trying to cross Hallandale on foot. Y'all need some crosswalks my Miami people. But I was still light on my feet (pre-falafal) so was able to play live Frogger like a G. On to the food. I had a falafal sandwich. What's very nice is the owner literally scoops fresh falafal into balls and fries them up on the spot. The result is a moist falafal that's still lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The falafal is a bit hard to eat and it's messy, from the huge dollop of tahina sauce that dresses the top of the sandwich. But I like saucy food so that's not a problem for me, plus I was impressed the pita held up all the way until the end of my meal. Wow. When I make this at home my pita turns into a soggy and ripped mess every. single. time. Inside the (very fresh) pita is falafal of course, Israeli salad, and hummus. What could have make this better? Something tangy or sour to to play against the other flavors. I would have enjoyed a pickle of some sort in there. This one falafal filled me up real good and I was starving. And for less than $8 that's a good deal these days. I have no doubt this food is authentic. The owner is Israeli and looks like he's been working with falafal since back in the day. And the restaurant itself is very new, clean, and nice looking. Why not check it out? Just look both ways before crossing the street, and never, never ever, try running across Hallandale with a stomach full of falafal. (I was between 4 and 5 stars and with a few more choices for toppings I think this would a slam dunk 5-star. But Yelp doesn't allow 4.5 stars and with room for improvement I can't give 5 stars.)

Wow what an amazing restaurant. It's like grandma's cooking and Avi & Yakov are the most passionate and warm hosts. The treat you with like family, samples that make you try items you never though to try. Everything made to order. Generous portions & reasonably priced. Absolutely at the top of all Mediterranean restaurants compared to all. AMAZING from 1-10 and 11+

Was driving by Hallandale aright after lunchtime and noticed the sign. Stopped in and got a soup of the day, sandwich and baklava. All I can say is very fresh, homemade cooking style. All cooked in house. Worth a stop in and trying it out. Will be back.

So happy to have found this place. Fresh, fresh, fresh and absolutely delicious. Avi, the owner, could not have been nicer. Brought us all kinds of yummy things to try in addition to our order and we loved EVERYTHING. My friend even took a second order of Falafel to go! We will definitely be going back.
