IDOF - I Dream of Falafel

It's a falafel spot that is early morning breakfast but opens at 11 what is the point of serving falafel if it can't be served at 8:30 or at least 9 am

I really don’t understand how this place has good ratings. The food is sub par. I ordered two falafel pita sandwiches. When the guy asked what sauce and I responded with tahini he practically saturated the sandwich before I could get out that’s enough. The second sandwich he put a normal amount. Regardless, it was inedible as it was way too salty. I’d ordered hummus on the side and that was tasteless. What a disappointment.

I'm eating here often. The service people are very nice, the food is decent but the owners who can't fix the ac when it's +90 degrees inside are terrible. People are about to pass out being in the space like that.

I stopped by IDOLF after riding a Lime scooter and asked to wash my hands before ordering. The employee shouted at me that the restroom was out of order. I explained I just needed to wash my hands before eating, but he dismissed me rudely and told me “too bad” in a disrespectful tone. I even asked if I could use the sink behind him, and he refused, saying they had cameras—like I was trying to get away with something.

Frustrated, I left and went next door to Mixteco, where the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They let me use the restroom without hesitation and served a delicious meal.

If you value basic respect and decency, I recommend skipping IDOLF and heading next door. The experience at Mixteco was everything IDOLF lacked—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely customer-focused.

I had a really delicious falafel bowl for lunch! The fresh falafel tasted delicious, along with the hummus and chickpea salad. The service was also great. Overall, a really filling and healthy lunch. Thanks!

My favorite quick, healthy, & local Mediterranean spot. It is always fresh and flavorful. The chicken shawarma is juicy, well-seasoned, and delicious.

Ordered online. Ridiculous wait time with only 2 people working. They were out of pita chips and would not refund me. Plus my wrap was missing hummus, so it's 0/2 on my order.

Solid and consistent experience, the food is always fresh and healthy!
They could rotate a few ingredients or add some menu items to keep it exciting, but overall a very good option in the neighborhood.

Tried shawarma. It was not a shawarma at all. The chicken kebab was too charred and had a charred smell. The pita bread was kinda stale too. Not fresh.
