Ting Ting LuoOctober 15, 2013Help yourself to the yummy sides on the right side of the counter. Be careful of the grilled peppers, they are REALLY spicy!!!
Joseph HuppertJanuary 8, 2017Everything 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.
Jess KellyJune 20, 2016I'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.
Kelly EriksonJune 16, 2013Very 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!- Lauren SmithSeptember 1, 2018Good 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!
Philadelphia MagazineOctober 25, 2010Get 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
Kellie BlackMay 1, 2015Ordered a wheat falafel pita. The pita was fresh, it was an excellent sandwich. Line moves extreme fast during lunch hour.
Gillespie Guereca AdairJune 9, 2015Good falafel and great fries. Get a free piece of fruit too. Staff very nice and vegan options clearly marked- David HowlandAugust 30, 2014Fantastic falafel. Sides are superb as well. Make sure to get tahini and a little spice.
Best falafel in philly. Never disappoints. Also, load up at the pickle bar and you'll be good to go.
- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 15, 2010Great 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
PhillyStephOctober 15, 2012Wheat pitas! Amazing hummus. Cash only. Line moves fast, don't be intimidated!
Shana BurnsAugust 17, 2012Get a few of their stuffed grape leaves to compliment your lunch. Really cheap and yummy!
Dennis BDecember 21, 2010Order the "Mama's Meal." $8.50 for a soda, tons of fries, and a falafel sandwich. Get it on white, extra spicy!
Raghav RaoJuly 9, 2012They don't take credit cards - they have an ATM onsite, they are closed the entire week of Passover. It's all worth it though !
Nadine BonnerOctober 10, 2011Best falafel this side of Israel. Always fresh never greasy. Friendly staff
Add avocado to your next falafel sandwich. It's my favorite - 'white, spicy - add avocado'.
Best Falafel and Eggplant! Their pita bread is made right there and tastes fantastic.
Get the falafel sandwich, make it a spicy one if you can handle it. :)
Surprising efficiency during lunch-time, even with the crowds. Great falafel.
Kelly Jennifer LeeJanuary 7, 2010Ever have falafel? It's worth at least one try! This is the best falafel place in the city
Fabricio VieiraDecember 7, 2016Overrated. Food is okay. Service is poor. I wouldn't recommend the visit. It's a cheap option for eating though.
Make sure to pick up some of the pickles on the way out. They're by the soda displays.

"BBQ seitan sandwich and crabbie cake sandwich are both so insanely good! Ice cream and a cupcake with coffee might be my fave though :)"

"A true hidden gem, Nuts to You has cheap Nuts, Candy, and other snacks.The popcorn, cooked in peanut oil, has a buttery taste without the buttery fingers (and the fat)!"

"Eat at Ralph's Cafe on the 43-44th floors for a truly unique panoramic view of Philly. The food is great (my fave is the grille) and the staff are fun."
