Been coming here for several years, everything is consistently great. Homemade middle eastern food.

I have followed this cafe since their first location many years ago. Fresh authentic cuisine with many vegan options available. The falafel wrap is my go to when in the University Circle area. The hummus and lentil soup are the best around.

Tried this place for the first time and it was awful! My dad and I both ordered shawarma sandwiches and they were absolutely dreadful! They had so much tahini that they were soggy and dripping everywhere. The vegetables were not fresh and the meat tasted unpleasant and had an off texture. My dad ended up with food poisoning after. The only part of our meal that was satisfying and tasted well were the fries. It was an abysmal experience and we will not be eating from here again. Definitely do not recommend.

I came to Cleveland to celebrate my birthday. I have been dining out all weekend and Falafel Cafe is by far the best food I have had in a very long time.
The food was fresh and delicious, the service was extremely friendly, and I will most definitely be back the next time I come to Cleveland.
The best Mediterranean food I have had in many years. The baklava is also incredible!
The prefect end to a weekend celebration!
If you’re visiting the museums it is a short walk. Highly recommended!!

Very underrated spot. Philly sandwich is the best sandwich in the area. Fries are amazing. The vegetarian pita wraps are a very nice, light lunch (and the ones with shawarma/kebab are great of course). It's a one woman shoo, she is great!

disappointing. greasy and overpriced. Decline in food flavor and quality compared to other Lebanese and Middle Eastern restaurants I've tried. The owner is friendly though.

Just happened upon this hidden gem near CWRU campus. Delicious (and authentic) Middle Eastern food with super quick service! Added bonus is it’s very reasonably priced.

What a great find! Skip the chain restaurants and stop into this hidden gem for a quick lunch or dinner. Very reasonably priced and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The falafel and shawarma are fantastic!

The chicken pita was tasty but they were super stingy with the tatziki. Only a couple of bites contained it. It was $10 for a tablespoon of chicken and some Lettuce.
The fries were inedible. Terrible flavor, terrible consistency, like grease sticks.
SUPER disappointing do not recommend
