Evelyn

The best falafel in San Francisco, hands down! They fry them right before they serve them, just the way falafels are meant to be served! It's truly authentic and staff are friendly

Nina Yiamsamatha

If they have freshly baked baklava , DO NOT HESITATE. Made with pistachios , walnuts , and flaky layers that ooze honey , they taste like heaven. Heaven!

Luke Bornheimer

If you're looking for an inexpensive snack and/or love eating falafel by itself, you can buy falafel for 50 cents each and get tahini and hot sauce for free—and their falafel is amazing. Awesome deal!

Truly Med is serving us some damn good Middle Eastern food . Try the falafel , or treat yourself to lamb or chicken shawarma , and you won’t be missing all that sour cream and guac . Read more

Most delicious hummus in SF!! Grab some hummus , falafels and pita , then head to mission Dolores park on a sunny day for a picnic . The falafel sandwiches are big enough to share

Margo Mary

So delicious. Their falafels are green in the inside as a heads up. Chicken only served on Tuesday and Friday!

Sarah Lockenmeyer

I adore this place. Fresh and quality no corners cut. Don't come across many places with such integrity these days. Staff was kind and welcoming!

SFGate

There's only one shawarma spinner, so check the calendar before you go. It's chicken on Tuesdays and Fridays; lamb and beef the rest of the week. Read more

Will Bertelsen

Lamb shawarma or falafel extra spicy no tomatoes . Get it to go and take it to Dalva next door, or order it delivered on grubhub.

Grace S.

Not only is their shawarma good, but their fresh carrot juice is out of this world.

Anna Balanvska

Place is affordable , food has great quality. If you like Turkish food you will love this place. Their falafel is very good.

Kyle Brazil

Mediterranean Combo Plate is the way to go. Literally to-go because there's not a lot of room inside.

Michael Thole

My go to place for delivery on Caviar . Always delicious. Kafta plate is my favorite.

Linda Yang

The shawarma and soup special is comforting, delicious, and great value .

Vadim Chepuryaev

Get falafel wrap , lamb shawarma nad lamb kabob . Incredibly good. Especially with feta cheese extra

Valerie

I don't even like falafel , but I'll order it here! Doesn't hurt that the guys handing you your meal are wonderful people!!

Tom Coates

The kabab is really good! Surprisingly well made and tasty. Not as scaffy as the place looks...

Kian Lavi

get the deluxe and make sure you get it spicy . deluxe adds potatoes and eggplant to your falafel

Cathy

the meats are fine, but the veggie combo plate is outstanding. this place is truly a gem

Jymmi James

Love the chicken shawarma only available on Tuesdays and Fridays. Ask for extra spicy !

Jake Card

i always get the falafel deluxe wrap with hot sauce , and i swap the eggplant (gross) with hummus ! so fucking good

Eryn Hales

If you're not doing a falafel wrap then just order a few falafel balls as an appetizer to snack on. So tasty!

Wilson Favre-Delerue

The lone contrarian here but the shawarmas aren't terribly exciting for anyone who has travelled or spent a bit of time in the Middle East.

Aanya Shah

Hummus and pita are excellent

Luke Bornheimer

They now serve homemade lentil soup (that's delicious!): 12oz for $2.99, 16oz for $3.99

Kelly ????

Combo plate! Chock full of falafel , baba , hummus , grape leaves , tabbouleh , cuke salad , served with pita . Yum!

Sasa M.

Falafel is so full of flavor you're going to enjoy every bite of it.

Bikash Mishra

Lamb shawarma all the way. Falafel is solid for vegetarians .

Lisa Milton

Best shawermas in SF. I always ask for the deluxe.

Rolo T.

Don't come on Tuesday or Friday if you want the lamb shawerma , they only have chicken on those days. I prefer the lamb .

Pavan Kulkarni

Get a falafel deluxe or chicken shawarma , both are amazing.
