From the moment I stepped into North Avenue Falafel for the second stop on my Ramadining adventures, I knew I was in for something special. Opting for the combination special was a decision I’ll never regret. This platter is a culinary journey that brings the best of the Middle East to your table - featuring beef kabab, chicken kabab, kofta kabab, alongside a chicken shawarma sandwich that’s nothing short of a masterpiece. The chicken shawarma was exceptionally moist and flavorful, wrapped in a cloud of pita bread that carried every bite to new heights.But it doesn’t stop there. The accompaniments - rice, baba ghanoush, hummus, fatoush salad, alongside generous servings of garlic sauce - each added layers of flavor that complemented the main dishes beautifully. It was a symphony of flavors and textures that danced harmoniously on the palate.North Avenue Falafel has truly outdone itself, creating a space where food transcends mere eating; it’s an experience, a celebration of culinary excellence. The warmth and authenticity of this place are unparalleled, making every bite feel like a slice of home, no matter where you’re from.For anyone embarking on their own Ramadining adventure or simply in search of exceptional Middle Eastern cuisine, North Avenue Falafel is a must-visit. Their chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip, but it’s the whole package - the food, the ambiance, the hospitality - that will keep you coming back for more.

Food was great and it was ready quickly for take out, very good service. The falafel was delicious, made fresh to order, the lentil soup was rich and flavorful and the baba ghanoush and hummus were 10/10, great! We will be coming back.

I’d been meaning to try this restaurant for awhile and finally stopped in for takeout today. I ordered the chicken shawarma and combination special. Both were delicious! They packed everything nicely with warm pita. I also picked up a bag of freshly made pitas, which will not last long in my house. The owner was so kind and included some baklava free of charge. I will definitely be returning often.

Used to be my go-to place for falafel, baba ghanoush, shawarma, etc. Now the falafel are smaller, the "large" baba ghanoush was about a third smaller than before and didn't have the wonderful smoky flavor and aroma that it used to. Grape leaves-dolmas were small and flavorless. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Falafel was inexplicably served as a wrap. That's not what I ordered. Taste was decent but nothing great.

They aren’t even open it’s past 12 o’clock. Inconvenience at its finest.

I had the pleasure of trying the chicken shawarma, tabbouleh, and falafel. Everything was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend!
