About Octopus Falafel Truck

The Octopus Falafel Truck in Philadelphia is a popular spot for fans of Middle Eastern cuisine. Known for its buttery falafels, the truck offers a single meal that includes falafel and smoked/grilled chicken, along with various grilled vegetables and fruits topped with greens. Customers often find the food delicious and unique, with some saying it is one of the best things they've had from a food cart, even compared to nice restaurants. The owner, recognized for his passion and kindness, cooks on a charcoal grill, ensuring each meal is fresh and full of authentic flavors. The menu varies daily, sometimes including items like avocado, orange bell peppers, grapes, and orange slices, all assembled in a takeout container. The meal is large enough to be enjoyed for lunch and dinner, and customers often get leftovers or share with others. While waiting in line can take about 20 minutes, the good quality and generous portions make it worth the wait. Customers are advised to bring their own fork and drink. Though the cost is $20, the meal’s size and flavor make it a worthwhile experience. The truck is a beloved addition to Philadelphia's food scene, located near 20th & Ludlow St.

Share your opinion about Octopus Falafel Truck

Only 1 item on the menu- $20, cash only.
And it is the best $20 you can spend on a food truck in Philadelphia. In a portion easily feeding 2 people, this falafel truck is worth every bit of praise and acclaim it gets.
Gus is one of the kindest people you will meet, and he is constantly mixing up his dish to surprise you with a combination of chicken, falafel, pasta, veggies and fruit that will make you ask how in the world anyone could make such a combination work so effortlessly.
