This place is a truly a HIDDEN GEM! I love the food. It’s pretty small with a few tables, but the food is absolutely delicious! Definitely try the spicy chicken shawarma! 10/10

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.THEIR FOOD DOESN’T TASTE GOOD AND THEY OVER CHARGE.THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY HOSTILE AND AS SOON AS YOU ASK THEM A QUESTION ABOUT WHY EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED,A MAN WITH A BEARD WILL SHOW UP FROM BEHIND THE LITTLE CURTAIN AND START TALKING TO YOU IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER ABOUT HOW OTHER RESTAURANTS WORK; HE REFEREED TO THEM AS HIS “ENEMIES “ AND NOT COMPETITORS .HE WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE AND HAD NO MANNERS,AND HE IS ALWAYS IN A FIGHTING MOOD.THIS PLACE HAS VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE,AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS DOING THIS BUSINESS.

Pretty weird place if you ask me. Very dull in the inside. Weird hours from only 12-7. & what restaurant keeps closed on Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday??? work 4 days, short hours, & 3 days off.
Maybe also paint the place a little bit & make it more welcoming. It’s literally sticky and so dull. It’s like they don’t want to be open at all. Maybe that’s why they closed 3 days out of the week & close at 7pm (which is unheard of for a restaurant) Summertime turn the AC on like normal restaurants. it’s decent food but needs to be better on stuff like that & cleaner ambiance.

Great taste and quality. But it is very hard to reach them via phone to give a food order, half of the time nobody answers the phone.

The staff was extremely friendly! That alone will get me to spend my money with you. The food was pretty tasty as well! I started eating it before getting pictures. I had the chicken shawarma wrap, gyro bowl and lemon cilantro fries. It was all good and just what I wanted! Plenty of food left over for tomorrow! Oh and make sure to get the pita bread yum!

I got the single Chipotle burger with gyro and it was good like homemade.
The tawa chicken spicy was a bit disappointing, was just like fried rice with chicken a bit too salty for my preference and not spicy enough.
I think their other items are better. They are halal so that is good.
They were also closed from 4-5:30 one day so I wasted my time driving there...
Chicken shawarma and gyro combo dish was not good . The garlic sauce for super super salty
Amazing burger as always. I love adding jalapeños to their cheeseburger and the spicy gyro double cheeseburger is always a fam favorite.

The chicken and gyros platter is outstanding. One of my favorite meals in the area. The lunch special is a wonderful hidden gem of a deal these days. I definitely recommend this place. I’m excited to try the burger and more things on the menu. I can appreciate they serve halal meat and you can tell it’s all made with care and quality.

I’ve been to Falafil Hut a few times now, and while there’s a lot to love, there are definitely a few things to be aware of before you go.
First off, service can be slow. Even when you're quoted a time for your order, expect to wait a little longer than that. It’s not a deal-breaker, but definitely noticeable. Also, they tend to run out of some menu items earlier in the day, so if there’s something specific you’re craving, it’s better to order earlier rather than later.
The space inside is really small and can feel pretty cramped, so I’d recommend ordering to go if you’re not a fan of tight spots. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to hang out and eat if you're looking for a relaxed dine-in vibe. And with their limited hours, planning ahead is key.
Now, the good stuff — and there’s plenty. The food here is consistently tasty. I had the burger and tawa rice and both were flavorful, served warm, and the portions were generous for the price. A highlight for me is the garlic mayo — seriously good. I actually recommend mixing it into your tawa rice for an extra layer of flavor.
Another plus: there’s usually plenty of parking available right outside, which makes pickup super convenient.
Overall, while there are a few quirks to keep in mind, Falafil Hut delivers where it matters most — great food at a solid value. Just make sure to get your order in early and bring a little patience with you.

The Tawa chicken rice was delicious! They use quality ingredients, especially the basmati rice. It's a small, cozy place, good for takeout or a quick bite at one of their few tables.
The only thing that stood out was the pricing. It felt quite expensive for a casual, to-go spot. The prices seemed more in line with a fine dining restaurant.
