I got the chicken shawarma sandwich with fries. Genuinely some of the best food I’ve had at a restaurant. The service is great, staff are very welcoming, and the food is delicious. I fell in love with the garlic sauce, and I highly recommend Happy Falafel to anyone who needs some good food to make their day.

I can’t lie. I hate that I didn’t take more pictures but this was amazing. The food has chef’s kiss. Flavor-ful, falafel was great first time tying that and kafta was amazing. The two guys there made you feel welcomed. 10/10 will be back.

I can't recommend Happy Falafel enough. This place always makes me happy. My go to meal is the chicken shawarma in a pita and a side of falafel. The food is top notch and the garlic sauce is always on point. Online ordering makes everything easy.
