Simply Falafel

Amazing time with my family who is new to this part in town. Since this was our first time coming here, they gave us each a free desert!

I've been here 4-5 times and food is consistently wonderful. Really the best falafel in the area. Food is fresh, homemade, and delicious. The proprietors are friendly and welcoming and that means a lot to me. I know it's a franchise, but feels like a real mom-and-pop shop.

Small clean place run by friendly Lebanese couple. We tried Chicken Shawarma & Baba Ganouj and they both tasted good.

Came here for a quick bite. The woman at the counter was very polite during order taking and for random things I needed after. I ordered a spicy chicken shawarma with garlic, fries, and a lamb gyro to go, all of which came fairly quickly after ordering.

Fries were crispy and rippled, which is great, but I was hoping they'd be seasoned or atleast salted, which they were not. As for the shawarma, it had great flavor from first bite on. I believe most of the flavor was in the sauce, however, while I'd prefer if the chicken itself was more flavorful. It was pretty tasty all together however. Also, I'll mention that the portion size of the shawarma was a bit on the smaller than I've typically seen (in girth), but it was enough for me with the fries.

I had the lamb gyro for dinner, and unfortunately, it left much to be desired. I initially heated it up in the toaster oven but that wasn't warm enough, so my impatience led me to the microwave. This was likely part of the issue - some of the lamb was chewy. However, the flavors were significantly lacking, which I doubt was caused by heating it up. I ended up having to add some salt and garlic power to make it taste ok atleast, but it was still nowhere near as good as the chicken shawarma.

In short, I'd certainly go back to try more dishes if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Also, based on the chicken, I'm giving then the benefit of the doubt that the lamb gyro was either my fault (reheating) and/or a one-time fluke.
