Authentic tasty and healthy kebabs, beautifully fresh. I cannot get enough of falafel gourmet, my only complaint would be that they are not open on a Sunday or at dinner time.

The falafels are unbelievable ! They are excellent ! I use to call them feel awfuls, until my wife and I went to this restaurant. The indredients are made fresh every morning and the service is quite fast for such a busy lunch trade. The open kitchen shows the diners the preparation of the food and as thus we get... More

Worst service received by owner. Attacking and insulting people because I didnt like the taste of the sample offered by the owner. For just saying that i did not like the taste of one of the salads the owner started overreacting instead of accommodating me as a new customer. Avoid this place at all cost and get somewhere else were... More

Pita bread brimming with hummus, lamb, chicken kebab, falafel, and other locally sourced ingredients. Good coffees, fresh juices. Food is flavorful, great value for money, very filling. Owners are from Israel and know how to make everything in authentic style -- by hand, fresh, tasty! Busy, comfortable and very convenient. Shalom, y'all!

If you are looking for tasty, filling food at lunchtime then this is the place to be. The falafel is the best I've tasted outside of israel. The pitas are stuffed to bursting with hummus, tahini, salad etc and you can't eat it delicately. The hummus platter for 2 could easily feed three and each item on the plate compliments... More

The friend I went with aboslutely raved about how great her chicken kebab was. I went for the feta and was happily surprised to see the decent amount they put in of quality feta. No holds back in ingredients, you definitley get more than what you pay for. Chocka right to the top with meat and salad. Amazing price and... More
