“Couldn’t speak higher of Falafelville! Best Greek place on Capitol Hill, you will not be disappointed by anything you get. The owner is so kind and will remember you, the food is consistant and their Greek fries are to die for. You won’t regret becoming a regular here.“
“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.“
“A gem of a hole-in-the-wall! Incredibly delicious food and great portions. The shawarma in particular was my favorite. Fast and friendly service, too. Definitely recommend stopping in for delicious Mediterranean food whenever you're down by Pike Place Market.“
“Hit this location just after opening, so it was quiet, and we were the first people in. The food is really good. We got lamb shawarmas. The garlic sauce with the tehini really stood out with the lamb and everything. The lamb was a bit dry, and the ingredients could have been distributed a bit better. Esthetically, the place could do with something. It seems open but cluttered at the same time. All in all, check this place out. Oh, and on a final note, the ketchup bottles on the table are not ketchup. Ketchup has a white lid. The stuff in the all red bottles is amazing, but if you dont like spicy, you dont want it, haha.“
“We had a delish dinner from Falafel Salam tonight. I had the chicken schwarm salad- crisp veggies in the salad, delish moist flavorful chicken, and the egg free tahini dressing was shockingly perfect (never would have chosen it but will now!)My husband had the lambe kefte pita with purple veggie slaw prep, green spicy sauce (he said it was so good but definitely had heat) and he was very happy- super tasty and flavorful and will definitely get this again.One last note is the food was all super flavorful yet not greasy or heavy, as can be the case sometimes with fast take out. It felt like high quality ingredients, crafted with care on health and tastiness. :)Dietary restrictions: Egg free diner here- they knew exactly what I could have, how to modify things to be egg free but stay tasty and were speedy and knowledgeable with this info. :)“
“Ordered Chicken Shawarma plate- Made my order fresh and hot when I arrived for pickup, only waiting a few minutes. It was very good, I just wish I knew there was a fair amount of garlic aioli/mayo action drizzled on top of all the chicken and rice. It was good, i prefer less saucy and less fatty sauces, with that said I could only eat half of the plate if that. Recommend asking for drizzle on the side :)“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The food, the service, atmosphere, everything is so good and so welcoming. I never leave disappointed. Always want to come back. I always have such great encounter with the owner and everyone that works here. I say give this place a try. You won’t regret it.“
“This place is so damned good. Incredibly friendly and thoughtful service, a fun vibe and decor with tons of outdoor (and covered!) seating for those gorgeous days, and the food absolutely knocks you over. Delicious, creative, and high quality. I’ll be a regular for sure.“
