lucy KemmitzDecember 21, 2014Great falafel. Cooked to perfection. Love that you can do your own toppings. The eggplant is amazing and the garlic cream. Definitely only order one fries between two. Grab a table when you can.
Tj ArcherJuly 3, 2015Pro tip: smash your sandwich, then open it up so you have room for toppings. Cole slaw is a must.
EpicuriousJanuary 27, 2015Grab one of the couple dozen seats in this bare-bones shop for a satisfying lunch, dinner, or late-night snack in the club-happy neighborhood of Adams Morgan. Read more
Drew GoodwinJune 2, 2017The service and food are always great! The falafels and fries are made fresh each time you order, and all the toppings are delicious.
Mike ChauJuly 4, 2013Try the Falafel Sandwich - They give you falafel and a pita and you get to load it up with as much hummus, tahini, and other assorted toppings as you want.
Markeshia RicksJune 27, 2012Falafels here are the best I've EVER had. And I've eaten my fair share. Super crowded. But that means it's good. Next time I won't order fries. Falafel is enough. Can't wait to go back.
Jeffrey MillerMay 17, 2016The falafel sandwich is on point. The fixings are fresh and the music is just right! A must eat.
Melissa ChaiMarch 24, 2016Awesome falafel...Toppings galore... If you get fries, try mixing the curry ketchup with a bit of the Dutch mayo for dipping sauce. NOM
Hannah LuddyAugust 13, 2016Sandwiches can be a bit difficult to handle, so grab a bowl if you're worried about being messy. Be adventurous with the toppings, they're all worth it.
TabathaSeptember 13, 2012Vegan-friendly, Lacto, Middle Eastern, Fast food, Take-out Info: Small shop serving hot falafels and fries. Help yourself to the toppings bar. Patio seating available.
Chris LiJune 2, 2013Awesome late night spot in AdMo! Make sure you get those toppings to the bottom of your pita so you don't end up with a dry second half of your falafel!
Christina Tyler WenksSeptember 4, 2018Falafels are perfectly prepared. Tahini, garlic sauce and tzatziki, sides and accompaniments are tasty and quick.
spo0nmanNovember 6, 2013Takes you back to Amsterdam for sure! Abundance of garnishes. Go for the beeteoot and chillies. Belgian style fries seal the deal.
InternsROCK!May 31, 2013Interning in D.C.? Grab a key tag from The Washington Center and get a free small 22oz soda with your order during InternsROCK! June 7-16th 2013. internsrockdc.com #InternsROCK
Kunal ChoksiApril 26, 2014Best falafel. I used to have the ones at La Shish in Dearborn, MI. These are just as good in a different way. Great fries too.
Tom MaxwellApril 9, 2016This place is awesome. You're given falafel in pita and then make-your-own style add stuff.
Thao NguyenAugust 20, 2013Crush the falafel balls and layer the toppings on flat. That way you get a bite of all the toppings in each bite.
SK JApril 29, 2016Very authentic. Love the variety of toppings & fillings to go with the falafel sandwich.
- EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010The simple falafel is experiencing a heyday, and this tiny shop is a clear indication why. Experiment with toppings: turmeric-tinged cabbage and jalapeño-fueled herb sauce are delicious options.
Eduardo LabancaApril 21, 2013The best Falafels I've ever had! The regular one is for someone that is REALLY hungry, if you're not try the small one instead.
GloryNovember 29, 2011You'll feel super healthy eating your delicious falafel! Plus, over 21 sauces & toppings. GO CRAZY! AND the fries are the best.
Katarina KatsmaJune 28, 2015This place is awesome. The guys are cool, atmosphere chill, and the food fantastic.
Maurice RouseMay 28, 2015In addition to the best falafel ever, they have the best damn fries I've ever tasted! Yum freaking yum!!!!
Small wheat. Crush balls. Yogurt w/dill, hummus, cucumbers, onions, red chili stuff, tomatoes, garlic cream. Heaven.
This place has the best Falfel, my favorite style is to smash your balls, then jam as much humus and tzatziki in it as possible, load on the fried onions, chick peas, tomatoes and Dutch mayo!
Christopher MinakowskiMay 28, 2016Falafels with hummus, and fries with mayo and curry ketchup- great place
VicJune 22, 2013Why I love this place: awesome falafel; also the soundtrack when I was in there..:regulate, shimmy shimmy ya, it was a good day, juicy
Matt BernsteinAugust 10, 2014Much better than jumbo slice. The small is always big enough for me; the large is huge.
Dara FisherMay 11, 2015Now that there's one in Somerville it's a little less exciting, but delicious nevertheless :)
Trevor HillMarch 13, 2017Get the sandwich and smash it to break up the falafel before loading it up with toppings
Josiah LambertOctober 28, 2010Be sure to load up on extra tahini sauce. This place is ridiculously good. I find myself randomly ending up here, even when my business is many miles away. So good.
Pick up a frequent falafel card...collect 8 and get a free one ! UPDATE: they now take PLASTIC !!!
SpazzoAugust 10, 2014Best food after you hit Adams Morgan on a weekend, delicious toppings for Falafel
Tina ThomasJuly 22, 2011Skip the fries, they're not THAT good and pay attention to your fab falafel: 2 hands at all times (lose a ball on the floor- pick it up. No one cares and it keeps the A/M rat situation at bay)
Crush your balls ! :) and put the stuffing all the way down , then layer to the top.
Diana WellsFebruary 21, 2012You have to go here. Best deal in the city. Basically a five dollar all-you-can-stuff-in-a-pita buffet.
Sara LDecember 30, 2013They take euros. Also, each falafel is made to order so keep an eye on which one is yours!

"Best falafels in DC! Prices have increased to $4 for a sandwich (but still pretty darn cheap). Hummus is a must-get. Zaatar fries are delicious too."
Sophia H - 7.1
"If you're up for it, definitely add the garlic sauce at the end."
Sandy - 9.0
"The best shawarma we ever had! The chicken shawarma has the proper amount of spices but not hot, whereas the falafel sandwich is light and fresh. They are quite fast and fairly cheap!"
