Really some of the best falafel or pita sandwiches anywhere. I used to walk a couple blocks to the one at Water Bar on Crystal Dr. until it closed. Now I walk a dozen blocks to this one since it's that good. Smoking value at $5 for a falafel sandwich. I skip the hummus addition. Falafel salad is on the weaker side vs. the sandwich. Sauces are all excellent, especially red and garlic. Orders take a little while to come out, but they're always good, and whoever is...

I got the chicken bowl and it was very tasty overall. My only complaint is that they really skimp on the chicken. The bowl had way too much rice compared to the amount of chicken, and I ended up throwing most of the rice away.

The food was amazing! The chicken was so tasty, the flavor really shown through. The fries were also perfect. The atmosphere was very cozy. Caio is the GOAT; he let us take our time and helped us to find the item that would satiate our cravings. Please come visit Falafel Inc! You won’t regret it. Also awesome for some late night cravings.
