Falafel near Bothell, WA

“The servers are caring. The food is very good and the portions are generous. It's near my favorite park for walking my little dog 🐕 ❤️ so rain or shine, GYRO STOP is a better healthy option than any fast food drive thru. Check out their GREEK SALAD!“

“Had to check out the falafel and here's my review... I'd like to state up front that as someone who lived in Israel for years and has always been very critical of "hippie" falafel and most Americans attempts which always seem to include lettuce, which has absolutely no place in a falafel, this was as close to an authentic falafel that I have seen in the western states. That being said, I found no reason to go back. Been there, done that. (Although it is a Hummus Bar and I didn't bother to try that because I make extraordinarily good hummus at home.) I've been avoiding bread on my new diet but was intrigued that there was a new source in town for fresh pita, which can make or break a falafel sandwich. I tried to secure an end to taste, (the top section that is cut off to stuff the pita,) the ends are traditionally tossed but my attempt was rebuffed by the staff who claimed they used them so I went ahead and ordered the "stuffed falafel" sandwich. What I got when I ordered the Stuffed Falafel was better than any pita I've ever had in Seattle, but it wasn't up to snuff with a traditional pita. It was too bready and airy for me, but it held together very well, when it was completely full of all the ingredients and sauce. Everything inside was very yummy, a great tahini sauce and tasty falafel balls, though I thought the falafel was a bit under-cooked and soft. The mix of cucumbers, tomatoes & Israeli-style pickles was great but there was none of the expected red or purple cabbage. The waitress claimed that there was cabbage in there but it was white, but I couldn't taste it at, a definite let down. At my favorite falafel shops in Jerusalem and NYC you load your own veges and choose your own sauces and I always go heavy on cabbage & pickles. No problems though, I wolfed it right down... :) I also tried a side order of חצילים and it was good, but nothing to write home about. In conclusion it was the best falafel I ever had in Seattle, but I'm still looking for that completely authentic falafel shop to come around.“

“I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and beef and lamb gyro plate. Super delicious! The hummus was nice and smooth, and the wrap was phenomenal. Not gonna lie the had the AC on pretty cold but the people behind the counter were really friendly and service was fast. Also, great price for the quantity.“

“Food was really awesome, great portion size for the meals. The meats(Chicken shawarma, lamb and beef) were cooked well good flavor. Also have to say the rice for the gyro plates was just so well flavored and on point. Can't wait to try this place again!“

“Sure nice guy running the place. All in all pretty good. IMHO though the falafel was too thick and thus was a bit under cooked in the middle. Not traditional tahini either. I expected it to be better given the reviews. I will definitely try again, but next time I might ask for well done falafel and see if he has regular tahini. I hope this does it because it is super close to me!“
