Falafel near Union City, NJ

“The best Greek food I’ve ever had.The service was great. The owner was very friendly and pleasant. It was nine of us and the food came on time and it was very fresh and delicious, and service was great. Home made baklava was the best I’ve ever had.I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely go back next time we’re in Florida.“

“We came from Canada to New York and decided to try this place while we were in Brooklyn; and we’re really glad we did. It’s a great spot. The entrance door is beautiful, almost like an old European shop, which gives it a lot of charm. The owners are incredibly kind and friendly, genuinely some of the nicest people we’ve met. The food was amazing; honestly one of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had, packed with fresh vegetables. The salad was also very tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!“

“You're going to enjoy the atmosphere here. Workers here are so pleasant it adds to the fun experience. The meal was absolutely right. The meal execution and service delivery were excellent. I can't imagine valid criticism of this place.“

“I went here for lunch yesterday and had the Hanger Steak on Whole Wheat Pita (it was on the specials menu) and it truly made my day. So flavorful with sautéed onions and a delicious side salad. I HAD to write a review to help spread the news, the food was fresh and unbelievably good and the service was top notch. <3“

“This is actually one of those 6-star places, because the food is so fresh and delicious. And it’s that rarest of endangered species in New York—a small business run by people who care and not a fast casual, slop-assembly factory.

Since it’s a hole in the wall kind of spot, it’s strictly to-go, but there are tables available in the indoor courtyard nearby—open to all.“

“Love the food“

“We ordered 4 Catering trays for our hospital holiday potluck and the food was delicious! Mr. Wissam is such a nice person and very professional! Will definitely always order from him for all of our holiday potlucks! Thank you for the special delivery and special additional items. All of our staffed loved it and will come back with their families for more!“

“I ate here several times during my visit to NY love the food“

“Delicious, quick, and such nice staff! I love the veggies and the pickles along with the wonderfully herbaceous hot sauce!“

“Presented with Very warm welcoming staff with a fresh crispy Falafel on the start.
I ordered chicken over rice with salad
No doubt salad was fresh and white sauce made it awesome in tasty but chicken wasn’t cook well. Could be better but over all joyful experience .“

“Absolutely Incredible Experience! “I cannot recommend Alkofeia highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The authentic Palestinian flavors were absolutely unforgettable — every dish was vibrant, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh homemade pita, the perfectly spiced lamb ouzi, and the shawarma platter were all standout dishes. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere just added to the whole experience. The attention to detail, from the olive oil appetizer to the dessert, showed how much care goes into every plate. This is hands-down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants we’ve ever visited, and we’ll be back again and again! Highly recommend to anyone who loves real, heartfelt cuisine.” ❤️“

“This is my favorite place in the Union Square area. I've been coming to this small family run shop for the falafel platter for over 15 years. The owner and son couldn't be more welcoming and the food is very fresh and tasty. It is also a great value for the money.“

“I mostly come for the falafel but I ordered kefta and shawafel. I wasn't expecting the enormous amount of meat they put in the kefta platter. I'd say it's a bit pricey, but unfortunately, that's how much everything costs these days. I want the falafel all the time, but have to stop myself because too much takeout is bad for the health and the wallet, but oh it's delicious.“

“this store is very clean and all team work is friendly with customer and I try all kind of food is very good everyday I buy my lunch and dinner from this store and I sent all my friends to this restaurant Kings falafel and all of them like this store because the food is very good“

“Amazing. Got the shawarma plate and it was loaded. Really appreciate the portions of meat and vegetables. Delicious toppings with hummus and tahini and cucumber and cabbage and eggplant etc. Highly recommend. You will be satisfied. Great, fast service too.“

“Mamoun’s Falafel is one of the tastiest, most reliable spots for a quick Middle Eastern bite, and it never disappoints. The falafel is crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying every single time, amazing sandwiches, which is why it is so easy to keep going back. After what feels like 100 visits, the place really feels like a favorite go-to for a fast, delicious meal.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“The food was definitely good: good portion sizes (for NYC), we especially liked the hummus and other sauces which felt authentic. Wide variety of items in the platter. Decent prices for NYC.

My only gripe is that this is a counter top takeout place and the payment system asks for 15/20/25% tip and dude was watching me as I tapped the buttons on the screen, so I felt pressured to tip for no service before even getting my food. Not unique to this place but that’s the only reason I’m not hustling back.“

“Once I found out about this gem, I came back every week. The customer service is always friendly, helpful and warm. BUT THE FOOD THOUGH…. 🤤. They have great options and each of their dishes have not disappointed. The ambience is clean, quaint and relaxed. Great for a meetup, a break or to go on your own and get some work done. Love this place“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“This place was fantastic! Over the years I've been here maybe 10 times. I never complain when my friends or family suggest this place to eat for dinner. The waitresses are always a pleasure to deal with. They assist me well when I ask for all my extras and meal modifications. The chef ?‍? in the back is on point. I wish GYRO TOWN long-term success in these challenging economic times

Parking: Paid street parking can be a bit full sometimes, causing me to circle once or twice. I typically never have to walk more than a half a block.“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“Amazing Mediterranean place in UWS/Columbia. Authentic food, beautiful music, friendly and welcoming staff and the chef! I love their chicken and lamb shawarma, lentils soup, and baklava. Feast for the soul and body! Recommend it to all my friends too!“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“I had a great catering experience with Semkeh. We had to feed 50 people and everybody loved the food, especially the chocolate drizzled baklava! They delivered the food on time and everything tasted delicious. I highly recommend this place and the prices are very reasonable too.“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“1. Phenomenal pizza, baked based upon your desired style/taste. The "undercarriage" is perfection!!!!

2. The ambiance was crafted in a significantly casual yet comfortable fashion. You feel good as soon as you take a seat. They are also constructed for a high capacity crowd.

3. One of the greatest features of all...., SERVICE! An Absolutely enjoyable experience. Warm greetings, and phenomenal all-around-service can be expected. I had an extremely positive experience, the very first time I walked in.

An overall, unbelievable experience can be expected!“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“Super delicious food and amazing customer service 💯✅“

“I've had a chance to sample most of the menu and it is delicious. Great music 🎶 on all the time too.“

“So, so good; can’t wait to go back!! I had a pita pocket with a bunch of veggies. The worker went above and beyond to accommodate my and my friend’s (annoying) requests. Planned to get just one sandwich but couldn’t. It’s that good.“

“Overall rating: 4.9
Paid: $9 with Tip

OMG SO GOOD. AND AFFORDABLE. Cash only and they accept Zelle. The staff is also sooooo friendly especially in such a small area. It definitely put a smile on my face that I wasn’t expecting during my lunch break. Highly recommend! I tried to go back recently to take a picture but I can’t find it anymore 😭 does anyone know if they moved?“

“Whenever I am in the area, I have to get my fix!! The Lamb Gyro Platter and Chicken Gyro Platter are so good. You are going to want to order both. I wish I had taken a picture. The last time I was here was in Nov 2021, my flight got in after midnight, so I didn't get to my hotel until close to 2AM. This was one of the few places open, and the food was so good. The Hummus & Pita is delicious as well! You just can not go wrong with this place!“

“My friend and I were recommended this place by people in the area and it totally lived up to expectations. The food was delicious and a good-sized portion. We got take out and even though the store was busy, our food came out very fast and fresh. We loved it!“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“what an exciting treat to have the truck upstate for the summer. we loved the convenience of getting the tasty falafel from the truck when it came to our colony just in time for the 9 days!!!! cant wait to visit the store when we get back to the city.“

“Love the falafels from this place. They have so many toppings to choose. You can get a platter or gyro with either lamb, chicken beef or falafel. I only get the falafels but they are banging. Then you can pick lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, olives, pickles, and/or chickpeas. It's delicious 😋 I only took off one start for atmosphere because their tv is so loud lol always a turn off for me. Cheers“

“After coming to the USA, this food truck gave me one of the best food experiences so far. I tried the falafel wrap and chicken over rice for the first time, and oh my God—the flavors were absolutely amazing!
It was my first time trying street food here, and it instantly won my heart. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and so satisfying. On top of that, the person serving the food was extremely warm, friendly, which made the experience even better.
What started as a first try has now become a regular order for us. Highly recommended! 🌯🍗✨“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

“We were visiting the area and were drawn here by the amazing smells. So many different choices of slices were available. My daughter chose cheese and a pasta topped slice. I chose ricotta/spinach and a mushroom. This place makes the best pizza we’ve ever had!“

“Always a delicious meal at Mamoun’s. Proud patron for over 30 years. Never disappoints.“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“
