For years, I raved about their shish kabob platter—the meat was always incredible, and it came with a generous helping of fresh peppers, onions, and other vegetables. On my last visit, however, the vegetable portion was practically nonexistent, just a few sad-looking slivers of zucchini.

The food is a tasty tapestry of fresh ingredients, traditional cooking techniques, and bold spices. Its specialties are as diverse and distinctive as the cultures of the 18 countries it comprises. Located off of Route 46 West in Elmwood Park, King Falafel is where I decided on takeout after a 5-year hiatus. Upon arrival at a laid-back, clean, and casual vibe before the lunch crowd, I placed an order of falafel and Greek salad with the friendly chef/owner, Sami, and exchanged a few words. Their menu offers a wide range with options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free. The falafel was crispy, not dry, well-seasoned, and served hot with sides of tahini and spicy s

Food is really great from the hummus which is very creamy to falafel very crispy and creamy cooked inside. All the sides are great and well seasoned. The meat platter very tender and good portion for 3. The homemade pita bread is phenomenal. The best always is the hot mint tea at the end. Very recommended place staff and owner very friendly and know what they are selling and serving.
