A Wonderful Mediterranean Gem in Overland Park
I recently visited Falafel Express in Overland Park, Kansas, and I have to say, it was a delightful surprise. I came to the area for work in Lenexa, and one of my coworkers recommended I check this place out. I'm so glad they did!
I ordered a plate that had chicken shawarma and beef kebab served over rice, with a side of salad, hummus, and some really fresh, tasty bread. Everything was delicious. The chicken was tender, the beef was flavorful, and the portions were generous—they even gave me a little extra.
But the real standout was the falafel. They offered me just one falafel to try, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. It’s rare to find a falafel that good, and it was a wonderful surprise.
What really stood out was the hospitality. The owner and (I think) his wife were extremely kind and welcoming, making the whole experience feel a lot like a meal at a friend’s home.
Overall, if you’re in the area and craving Mediterranean food, I definitely recommend giving Falafel Express a try. It’s a great little spot with delicious food and warm service!

I had their chicken shawarma sandwiches twice in less than two weeks. It's been delicious both times. So many toppings to choose from. The owner and his wife are very nice people. The restaurant is very bright and clean. Plus it's on a very convenient location for me. I will be back in the near future.

The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, packed with fresh flavor. The hummus was incredibly smooth and creamy—easily some of the best I’ve had. On top of the great food, the service was friendly, quick, and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommended!
Falafel Express truly deserves way more recognition than it gets. I visited today and ordered the shawarma wrap, and I can confidently say it was the best shawarma I’ve had in Kansas City no competition. The meat was seasoned perfectly, the wrap was fresh, and everything tasted authentic and full of flavor. You can tell they put care into their food. A lot of places get hit with negative reviews, but I feel like people are too quick to judge without actually giving it a fair try. My personal experience was nothing but positive from the quality of the food to the customer service. Everyone was friendly, the service was fast, and the overall vibe was great. I genuinely think more people should give them a chance before forming an opinion. If you’re in KC and craving a good shawarma or Mediterranean food in general, go try Falafel Express for yourself—you might end up loving it just like I did. I’ll definitely be coming back.

My partner and I try to have a lunch date every Sunday and try new places. Today we wanted Greek/Mediterranean food but our favorite spots are closed on Sundays so we ended up here. It was destiny. I had the beef and lamb platter and oh my goodness. I am floored by how good this place is. I only thought I loved Mediterranean food before. Everything was incredible and my partner and I can’t wait to go again. Also the owners seem like such sweet people! Please give them your money. Keep this place open and make them feel valued!

Pros: (1) Tasty food (2) Large portion size for the platters
Cons: (1) I think the platter should come with something else, for the amount of sauces you get (like half a pita or something?) (2) Price for the platter is a bit steep - think I might would go for something like the bowl instead next time
