Help yourself to the yummy sides on the right side of the counter. Be careful of the grilled peppers, they are REALLY spicy!!!

Everything on their menu is FABULOUS! Very small place & tough to get a table. The falafel is amongst the best we ever had. This is not a date night. It's eat & go.

Very comfortable atmosphere, not intimidating whatsoever. The staff is friendly and they don't mess around when it comes to making an amazing sandwich. Bring cash and a big appetite!

I'm a bit of a falafel fiend and this did not disappoint. Plus, you get a gargantuan amount of hummus which is always a good thing.

Good kosher option if you’re looking for a quick lunch. You get a little plastic cup for their pickle bar with most meals. Load up!

Good falafel and great fries. Get a free piece of fruit too. Staff very nice and vegan options clearly marked

Ordered a wheat falafel pita. The pita was fresh, it was an excellent sandwich. Line moves extreme fast during lunch hour.

Fantastic falafel. Sides are superb as well. Make sure to get tahini and a little spice.

You get so much food for $8-10. Delicious fresh vegan and hearty!

Get an oversize $8 helping of hummus and tahini, cucumbers, tomatoes and slaw, pita, and eight balls of the beloved falafel. Or our favorite, the special $6 avocado sandwich. (Get it “spicy.”) Read more

Best falafel in philly. Never disappoints. Also, load up at the pickle bar and you'll be good to go.

Great Fries! Skin-on, fried to order, finger-tip-burningly hot, generously salted. In other words: No truffle mayo needed. Eat your heart out, Philly gastropubs. Read more

Fantastic prices, fast service, and the best falafel in the city

Didn't know there exists a good Falafel outside Israel. And the fries, OMG, yum.

Wheat pitas! Amazing hummus. Cash only. Line moves fast, don't be intimidated!

Get a few of their stuffed grape leaves to compliment your lunch. Really cheap and yummy!

Add avocado to your next falafel sandwich. It's my favorite - 'white, spicy - add avocado'.

They don't take credit cards - they have an ATM onsite, they are closed the entire week of Passover. It's all worth it though !

Great falafels. Can get very crowded inside.

Best falafel this side of Israel. Always fresh never greasy. Friendly staff

Hole in the wall...cash only...really good!

Order the "Mama's Meal." $8.50 for a soda, tons of fries, and a falafel sandwich. Get it on white, extra spicy!

Best Falafel and Eggplant! Their pita bread is made right there and tastes fantastic.

Make sure to pick up some of the pickles on the way out. They're by the soda displays.

Ever have falafel? It's worth at least one try! This is the best falafel place in the city

Surprising efficiency during lunch-time, even with the crowds. Great falafel.

Overrated. Food is okay. Service is poor. I wouldn't recommend the visit. It's a cheap option for eating though.

Get the falafel sandwich, make it a spicy one if you can handle it. :)
