    Falafel stuffed pita with myriad toppings—from pickled turnips to harissa sauce. This counter-service spot, which also recruits local chefs to guest-star by designing a different sandwich each month. Read more

    House fries are good. Didn't try the salad bar, but it looks great. They make everything there but the fries and pita I was informed. They do make fry their chips there. Steak wrap was very good.

    While practically the only thing on the menu is falafel, the salad bar makes this place. There, toum, sweet bulgur salad, spicy pickled ginger and creamy tabouli turn good falafel into a great meal. Read more

    Go with the bowl over the pita. You can get far more from the salad bar. Food is fantastic.

    Resist trying everything on the cold bar your first trip: you don't want to end up with a tub'o'food. Try a few things & save the rest for the next trip.

    First visit in a couple months and this place has taken a serious downgrade. Sparse mezza bar, no fountain drinks, no fun ketchup choices, inferior wraps.

    Close inspection of the crispy falafel, featuring an almost neon-green, fluffy interior that wafts cumin and coriander perfume, reveals this Lakeview spot has serious balls Read more

    Pickled ginger on you falafal sandwich is a MUST. So is the harissa ketchup on your fries.
