Andrea GDecember 4, 2010This vendor makes the best shawarmas. He gives away free falafel samples and he finally won the 2010 Vendy Cup!
Joe DJuly 22, 2009Get food here, bring it to Socrates Sculpture Park down the block, enjoy your day.
Christopher MoriniSeptember 14, 2016The line here does not move. Waited 25 minutes for a chicken platter to go. Guys in city would have moved 60 people by then. Get with it.
Best falafel I've ever had in my life! No joke! Free samples as well while you're waiting in line! Great customer service overall!
Demetrius BagleyNovember 21, 2016Hearing continued raves about a platter that is vegan. Hope to try very very soon!
Debby ButlienJune 7, 2019Waited 15 minutes for an over cooked gamey lamb platter. Gross. Stick with the felafel.
Jess NaldoMarch 17, 2017The falafel platter is a weird balance of kinda healthy & deep fried guilty pleasure. The pickled veggie salad is tart + the basmati rice is fresh, fluffy and well-seasoned. Can't beat for under $10.
ChrisJanuary 20, 2020Falafel was great. Mix the white sauce, tahini sauce and the spicy sauce!!! Awesome
Varun PrasadJuly 26, 2020Excellent falafel sandwich. The Muhamara bread is amazing but runs out quickly!

"Perfect for a bike adventure or combo visit w/ Noguchi Museum next door. Revolving sculpture selection can be hit-or-miss, but the riverside view and greenery are always worth it. Dogs allowed!"
