"The best falafel in the D.C. area" is what someone told me. A very bold claim, I had to check it out for myself. After eating their standard falafel sandwich with all the fillings except for tomatoes, the claim may be true. (Though, I'll always love Falafel Inc for their flavor, mission, and price.)

It's truly phenomenal! 2) Service: The two men behind the counter were very helpful and passionate about what they are buildin

Dalia's Falafel vastly surpasses most eateries in the area, Mediterranean or otherwise. In every bite, the flavor and variety are simply unmatched.

Importantly, Ben and Kevin's energy and enthusiasm for bringing such high-quality food at an affordable price is inspiring. Their focus on clean ingredients beats out even the most classically "healthy" franchises like Sweetgreen, because they truly commit to things like zero seed oils and locally sourcing their meats.
