Falafel's Drive-In

I've been searching for good Arabic food in the Bay Area for a while, without much success. Until I found this place. Get falafel in whatever form you like, get the baba and get the pita chips .

Been coming here for decades and always leave satisfied. If you have a craving for a falafel , this is the place to go. Tried everything on the menu, everything you expect from a good diner .

This family owned drive-in has been around since 1960. A local favorite, they serve unique American food like burgers and ethnic food like falafel . Starting around $3 or $4. Read more

There's usually always a crowd. Really nice outdoor casual setting, it's not "authentic " falafel by any means, but still delicious and worth my money.

Best place for middle eastern food ...try their falafel wrap and strawberry shake ...you will not regret...their hummus and pita bread are great choice too

The best deal is the large falafel and banana shake ???? you won't be disappointed!!! Ask for extra sauce!

You must, MUST get their baklava . It's one of the best I've ever had. I've had some really good ones in NYC. Who wudda known? This little hole in the wall in SJ...

Large falafel pita w/ extra red sauce . Banana shake if you're up for the calories. Do it. (Also, the dolmas are surprisingly good.)

One of my favorite spots in San Jose- highly recommended. I only eat the falafel , though they have gyros and other stuff.

This is the line on the weekends. Still, well worth the wait! Bes TR Falafel in San Jose

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives spot . Awesome falafel and banana shake combo is the go to. Lines get long but move fast

Can't go wrong with the Large Falafel Sandwich with the Fresh Banana Shake combo !

Falafel (extra hot sauce ) and a banana shake is how I want to spend every hot day.

Best gyros I have had in ages and the hummus was also amazing. Wish they had a place in SF!

Banana shake and large falafel for $10... what’s not to like!

So good. Get extra hot sauce for your falafel - it's delicious, and you'll need it after the first few bites.

We've tried the gyros and chicken pita , both were great with plenty of meat inside.

Get the falafel , dolmas , and EXTRA hot sauce - that sauce is addictive

Great falafel but their sandwich was ok. Next time I may just get their salad style option

Large falafel with extra red sauce for sweet & spicy zip. Fresh ingredients ; delicious food. Locally-owned & operated.

I had a large Falafel and a Koubby. D'lish. I would of taken a picture but I ate it to fast lol

Falafel sandwiches are very messy! A salad with a pita on the side seems the way to go. Ask for extra red and white...

This place is fantastic. I always order a full beef gyros with a side of fries . Probably one of my favorite places to eat at.

Disgusting conveyor belt falafel . Want good Falafel ? Head over to Santana Row, the Falafel cart right outside Magianno's. Reminds me of my grandfathers! It's really good!

This is a great place for our vegetarian friends ! The falafel 's are delicious but the banana shake is what makes the trip worthwhile- yum yum!

Falafel awesome get the hot sauce on the side. Pigeons annoying band will walk on your feet

OMG yum. Have been going here since the early 90s. I always get the falafel special, which comes with a large banana shake . The hummus and tabouleh are also fabulous! Read more

Iconic midcentury spot not to be missed: large portions for cheap eats; wish gyro meat was thin strips but falafel is superb as is hummus and tabbouleh .. 2 thumbs up

The Dolmas grape wraps are AWESOME. A great alternative to the burger .

Great place for some Falafels but for some reason, I feel like other places could offer more variety.
