Falafel near Cambridge, MA

“Everyday they have a special item in their menu. I had a lamb kofta plate that comes with rice, salad, pita, hummus and yogurt. The kofta was over fried and was full of oil as the rice layer was covered with oil.
Also Baklava was good as it was not too sweet.

Above all the taste was good and portion size was enough to kill a hungry stomach for $16. Very clean space but surprisingly they still use a cover in front of the counter like good Covid days.“

“We were craving a hearty falafel sandwich as it’s done the Mediterranean way. My sister have heard of Flafel Corner and suggested we try it coming out of Harvard square. Best decision! Delicious, freshly made, hearty, generous comfort food. Simple no frills setting but super clean with soul. Yaser from Alexandria was the kindest, most welcoming and generous host. We’ll return for many when in the neighborhood.“

“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“

“This place is beyond amazing. The food is made with love and the owner is beyond accommodating and polite! Love Ani’s!“

“I was looking for a good falafel place in the Watertown neighborhood, and stumbled upon this gem of a place.The owners are very polite and gentle.Definitely recommend the falafel combo; some of the best I've had in recent times in around Boston“

“On one of the first days at my company, a colleague took me to the old New York Deli on Temple Street and introduced me to Kadhim. I couldn't understand why he would take the time - it's not like this guy is going to remember me out of all of the people who come through there. My mistake - every time I would see him over the years, at whatever location, Kadhim would come from behind the counter and greet me by name like an old friend. Understand - he was told my name once, over 20 years ago. I don't even go out to lunch very often - sometimes it would be years between visits to one of the Falafel King locations. But every time I enter, it's a big smile and greeting and an expression of appreciation that cannot be faked...go check them out!“

“Delicious tasty 😋 I love Falafel Place“

“I love this place. The food is amazing, Kafta, hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, bastirma, you name it, it’s good. They even have some kid/picky eater friendly items like chicken fingers that are great. They’re adding pizza to the menu, and I can’t wait to give it a try.“

“Good halal options. Grill lamb rice is tasty. The salad portion is great. Fries are delicious . They have limited options for sauces, and the quantity of sauces is small. The double lamb burger was just okay. Platter and kebab are good options to eat, it comes with pita bread and the quantity of fries is great.“
