“ Honestly some of the best falafel I've ever had. Everything tasted fresh including the veggies. Didn't even get soggy despite ordering delivery via doordash. $13 for a hearty sandwich and banana shake is pretty unbeatable! I will definitely need to try this place again, I want to try the gyro next. ”
“ Simple, tasty, and affordable! I never thought I liked falafel until I tried the falafel sandwich here. The sandwich was packed with soft flavorful falafel, lettuce, tomato, and sauces. The gyro sandwich was equally as tasty and not dry at all. The sandwiches just have 2 sauces, a red and white one, which we also asked for extra on the side. The red sauce tastes more like a sweet chili sauce and really elevates the sandwich. The pita chips were very flavorful and not too salty. They were the perfect in between of crisp and soft. My least favorite item was the banana shake. I like that it's not too sweet but it tasted a little too artificial to me. Seating is only covered outdoor seating. Bathroom doors are a bit narrow. ”
“ Visited this quick eatery couple of times in the past and today as well. Had the falafel sandwich the OG dish on the menu. ($7 for small) Super quick, fresh, crispy falafels placed in between soft pita bread topped with lettuce onion tomato tahini and spicy sauce. Enjoyed my snack after a long shopping at the valley fair mall nearby. We also got the tabbouleh salad which was ($8.5). Super quick. Decently clean. Try their falafels for sure if you visit. Their salads are great too. ”
“ My favorite falafel spot! Falafel's Drive-In is a popular spot for locals and was made even more popular after being featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." The parking lot only has a few spots, but you can also find street parking. Pretty simple system: walk up to the window when you're ready to order, and pick up your food at the next window over when they call you! Grab a table on their covered patio, but beware of the hungry pigeons sometimes lurking around. Definitely the best falafels I've had! My go to is their Falafel Salad! A good portion of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and lots of falafels with a tasty dressing. I also enjoy their falafel or gyro pita sandwiches. But whatever you do, make sure you get some of their spicy red sauce! It's the best! Not too spicy and has some sweetness too! ”
“ FIRE. FIRE. FIRE!!! Send the yummmmm-bulance! (In reference to the falafel, ofc). No, I didn't order the banana shake. I don't like blended bananas. PS - *cheeeeeap* good eats. San Jose classic. ”
