Falafel was really good, I got the platter and it came with hummus, a cucumber tomato mix and a red cabbage slaw. It was all really good! Place is cash only

Stopped by yesterday while I was visiting Key West because I was craving Shawarma’s. On their menu first of all they have a lamb and turkey mix Shawarma but they ran out so they gave me chicken which isn’t even a menu item. Weird But fine, no worries. Overpriced store-bought, pita stuffed with lettuce, a few veggies and some old chicken and he’s calling it a Shawarma. Far from authentic save your money and go anywhere else. Not to mention, it was super soggy, and when I asked the owners to cut it in half he gave me attitude. So surprising that he barely had any business yet still gave me attitude. There’s actually a great Italian place right next-door with super welcoming owners and staff. Pay the price for good quality food.

Met the falafel king today and had the schwarma. They were doing renovations but one of the guys showed us the way round back. Amazing food, was pretty quick. Cash only though.

We stopped in for a late lunch/hold-me-over. My wife and I ordered a falafel platter to share. The owner was very friendly, answered all my questions and got our platter ready quickly.
The slaw was basic red cabbage and mayo and quite tasty. The diced cucumber and tomato salad was also good. The hummus was top notch and the falafel were great.
The there's the pita. Oh the pita! Hands down the best pita my taste buds have ever seen!
There's no dining area to speak of. We ate on a stool at a bar top looking out the front window.
A must-visit restaurant on the outskirts of Mallory square in Key West. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It’s a very small place. Good Mediterranean food. We tried hummus pita and falafel pita both were very delicious. Quick service.

**Review: Terrible Experience with Unprofessional Staff**
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this place. Although their sign said they’re open until 9 PM, we arrived at 8:30 PM, only to find the staff lounging outside, drinking beer with friends. When we approached them, one employee told us bluntly that they were done working for the day and suggested we call the boss or come back tomorrow.
This is beyond unacceptable. If you advertise that you’re open until 9 PM, you should be ready to serve customers until that time. The staff’s attitude was unprofessional and dismissive, and their behavior was far from what you’d expect in a professional setting.
To the owner or manager: If you’re reading this, you seriously need to rethink your staffing choices. This was the worst experience I’ve had, and it left a terrible impression. I will not be returning, and I strongly advise others to avoid this place.
