    Sometimes they're late to open their location. On positive notes - the shawerma sandwiches are neatly wrapped, the falafel is fresh, spinach pies are convenient, & the lentil soup is a winter wonder.

    Everything I've had is here delicious. From falafel sandwich, to chicken and beef shewarma sandwiches. If you're super hungry get the plate. It's great for two or for leftovers.

    Falafel Wrap for only $3.75 and I brought 1/2 home! (Don't forget to ask for "hot sauce") The Jerusalem Salad on the side was crisp & fresh. I liked the ethnic music & the service was super fast!

    Nothing says late-night food love like a cup of lentil soup (yes, even in the summer; it's that good) and shawarma, and you can't do much better than Falafel and Grill for these very things. Read more

    Chicken shawarma sandwich is a must! They also have deliciously creamy hummus.

    Their hummus is probably the best in the city. The flavored rice paired amazingly well with the chicken shawarma. Great lentil soup too!

    Though the smell of the grilled meat permeates the store, the falafel in their sandwich bests it all.

    Very good prices, but I have to say the food was average. I wouldn't come here looking for a great meal at a great price. Only one of those is true.
