    The best falafel in San Francisco, hands down! They fry them right before they serve them, just the way falafels are meant to be served! It's truly authentic and staff are friendly

    If they have freshly baked baklava, DO NOT HESITATE. Made with pistachios, walnuts, and flaky layers that ooze honey, they taste like heaven. Heaven!

    If you're looking for an inexpensive snack and/or love eating falafel by itself, you can buy falafel for 50 cents each and get tahini and hot sauce for free—and their falafel is amazing. Awesome deal!

    Truly Med is serving us some damn good Middle Eastern food. Try the falafel, or treat yourself to lamb or chicken shawarma, and you won’t be missing all that sour cream and guac. Read more

    Most delicious hummus in SF!! Grab some hummus, falafels and pita, then head to mission Dolores park on a sunny day for a picnic. The falafel sandwiches are big enough to share

    There's only one shawarma spinner, so check the calendar before you go. It's chicken on Tuesdays and Fridays; lamb and beef the rest of the week. Read more

    Lamb shawarma or falafel extra spicy no tomatoes. Get it to go and take it to Dalva next door, or order it delivered on grubhub.

    Not only is their shawarma good, but their fresh carrot juice is out of this world.

    If you're not doing a falafel wrap then just order a few falafel balls as an appetizer to snack on. So tasty!

    The lone contrarian here but the shawarmas aren't terribly exciting for anyone who has travelled or spent a bit of time in the Middle East.

    Don't come on Tuesday or Friday if you want the lamb shawerma, they only have chicken on those days. I prefer the lamb.
