Tried the lamb and beef wrap and it was delicious! The meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and I really liked that you can choose from several sauces to customize it. Fresh, filling, and very satisfying, would definitely order it again. Highly recommend!

Great little spot on Capitol Hill next to Frager's hardware. When you walk in, the place is simple and unassuming. But, the friendly smiles that you are greeted with from the people working there and who are taking your order and preparing your food makes this place truly special. The food is delicious too!! I've gotten takeout here a few times now. Always the platter, chicken or combination of chicken and falafel with half rice half salad. Today, I received even more great vibes in the form of a brownie which they gave me with a friendly smile and said "thank you. These are homemade." These moments of kindness may seem simple but they can really help shift someone's day.

Got take out Shwarma and falafel here. Simply the best I’ve had in the city, by a mile. Everything super fresh, daily. So happy they are new (8 months) here in Capitol Hill. This will certainly become a regular meal for us!

The beef & lamb shawarma is outstanding. Tasty sauces and delicious savory flavors. Nice staff, fair prices for good quantity, and quick service. Three tables and four stools provide indoor seating for 16. DC Falafel even offers homemade treats like brownies. We’ll make a tradition of grabbing food from/at this attractive small local business every time we skip at Frager’s hardware next door. A good combo!

We were searching for falafel because I was craving it. This restaurant appeared in our recommendations, and we decided to try it. The food and fries were delicious. The lemonade, as my daughter would describe it, had a hint of limoncello and was delightful. They are vegan-friendly, so if you are craving Mediterranean food, this is a great option.
