Literally the best food on Thayer st not unholy is the food seasoned💯 and cooked perfectly great service and they’re always consistent I usally stop here 3-4 times a work week for the Cesar wrap or salad💯 great staff aswell
College hangout spot - mostly take out although there are some tables. Falafel is excellent and keeps me coming back. The tall guy wanted to charge me for extra lettuce on my wrap and is rude. The latinx guy is really nice though, as are the ladies working the register. It's on a really busy street, so even meter parking is hit or miss.
Great food
My favorite spot in the area. Super yummy falafel.
Delicious food! Very fresh- best Falafel you can find in Providence! The staff is also very very friendly!
Tasty and clean food. Line workers are nice and polite. Keep up the good service.
Delicious felafel and kafta sandwiches made with love!
The falafel sandwich was loaded with fresh herbs, pickled turnips, creamy tahini, and the crispiest falafel. It was layered beautifully and bursting with flavor. The kafta sandwich was just as unforgettable. The meat was tender and seasoned perfectly, paired with creamy yogurt garlic sauce, hummus, tomato, and tabbouleh tucked into soft, warm bread.
The owner and his crew excellent customer service and warm welcome made this experience even better. The owner is incredibly generous and kind, and it shows not just in how they treat you, but also in how much love they put into each dish/sandwich.
This place has been a staple on College Hill for decades and it’s outstanding - the best falafel I’ve had outside of the Middle East. Get the falafel wrap with no dairy. Cannot recommend highly enough- would give them more stars if I could. Excellent price too!
Always good to grab a pocket
East side pockets has THE best falafel. I've never ever in my 30 yrs of eating there had a problem but today unfortunately I couldn't finish my wrap because there was sand or dirt in the lettuce. I UNDERSTAND mistakes happen. But besides that their food is flavorful and fresh . The grilled meats are so good. Baklava delicious.

For sure the O.G.'s of falafel in southern New England. I believe this family came over from Syria and opened up in 97. Most items on this menu have been dialed in for decades. If the line is out the door, stick around it moves fast. Lately I've been ordering the 6 piece and it's boxed in the time I've shuffled from the counter to the register. If you've got ten more seconds, their flagship falafel wrap is one of the most nourishing pieces of vegetarian food in the city.

I love love the food but...the counter workers are wearing gloves - good start but they use the same gloves to clean the counters with some wet cloth with god knows what's on it and then handles the food without changing it. I want to come back here, I hope I don't see that again!

So delicious and authentic (according to my Turkish friend), very refreshing. Chicken gyro was bug enough to split between 2 people and be comfortably full. Would love it even more if they had Fattoush salad on the menu.
