★★★★★ 5.0 Fiz-osaurus Rex · Oct 2025

I recently visited mr. falafel and gelato and overall had a great experience. The food was delicious — I especially enjoyed the chicken shawarma, the beef shawarma, and the Dubai chocolate dessert. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The place was clean, and the staff was welcoming and friendly, which made the visit even better. I appreciate the good service and the warm atmosphere. I’d be happy to return and would recommend this spot to others looking for a good meal.

Easily the chewiest beef I’ve ever had. They must have cooked the beef to oblivion then forgot about it. Not sure how it got “4.8 stars” with such questionable food, I’m not sure others know how good Mediterranean food is supposed to taste.

My community band catered our concert night from Mr Falafel. The staff offered great suggestions to feed a large group on a budget. Chicken Shwarma has a nice flavor and not too spicy. There were whole chic peas on the hummus and it was delicious. Pita had great texture and a good chewy bite. The Fattoush salad was colorful , fresh, crunchy with good dressing.

This is a great place, small but very cute. Better than fast food, all the ingredients are so fresh. Service was great and the people who were behind the counter were extremely nice. Added bonus, they are opening a separate counter inside for Gelato. This place is a win-win.

Incredible First Experience! I stumbled upon this gem of a spot while browsing Uber Eats for a pickup order, and wow—I’m so glad I did! From start to finish, my experience was top-notch. Service & Atmosphere: When I arrived to pick up my order, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. (I regret not catching his name!) The place is brand new, only open for 2 months, and it shows. It’s bright, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. The Food: I ordered: • Beef Shawarma on Pita: Garlic, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and tahini. • Chicken Shawarma Wrap: Same fresh ingredients, just as incredible. Both were absolutely delicious—seasoned to perfection, bursting with flavor, and dripping with sauce in the best way. The portions? Generous doesn’t even begin to describe it! I also go
