Food was absolutely the worst! Old / expired meat, rancid tomatoes, crispy and inedible rice. Immediately got sick for 2 days. The service was quick and easy but it's not worth it at all. I didn't visit the restaurant to speak to the ambiance - had the food delivered - Save your money and go somewhere else read more

I have been meaning to try this place since it opened because it has a few vegan options. I called in my order so it could be ready when I got there. I walked in and the place was very clean and put together and the guy behind the counter was nice. I ordered the falafel platter and it was only $8 and the platter had a lot of food. When I got home I dug in and it was probably the best falafel I have ever tried. I enjoyed the meal and I will be back for sure. read more

Delicious! I bit into a falafel sandwich and instantly knew it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. Moist not dry and so much flavor! All of the wonderful extras added to the sandwich (cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, etc) you get to choose were all so fresh. The bread was soft and fluffy and the sauce on top made my tastebuds soar. I could tell they take pride in serving their customers. Even when you call, they answer the phone on the first ring and display very polite and professional phone mannerisms. No dining in due to Covid but if you call, it's ready in 5 minutes - piping hot and perfectly delicious! This was my second time here...it's quite a distance from where I live which is why I don't frequent it as much as I'd like to (I tend to stay local during this pandemic since many establishments don't allow dining in during this time and for that reason: its either bring it all the way home which the food will be cold or eat in my car while it's hot) This food however is definitely worth sitting in your car and eating to the last bite. I'll be back most definitely and I recommend this place to anyone with a mouth that likes to put food in it :-) read more

Ordered falafel sandwich and Greek salad to go . The pita bread was soft and fluffy, the falafel balls were tasty , however it was a little strong on the onion side and also the sauce had a bit of a bitter taste . The Greek salad was also heavy on onions . The grape leaves were delicious . The salad did not have any feta cheese at all , and it could have used some spice in the salad dressing - oregano and pepper to be specific . So I think they have some work to do there . The food prep time was reasonable no more than one would expect at a food truck . It gave me time to go next door and get a slice of pizza . The prices are very reasonable. read more

The food is actually fair but I almost bit into a broken piece of metal (looks like blade) inside a chicken wing. read more

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and I'm upset that I haven't found it sooner! I had the chicken kebab and chicken shawarma with the mint lemonade. Everything was fresh, nicely seasoned, and the chicken was super juicy. 10/10 will recommend. I can't wait to try another dish from this place. read more

Cairo Falafel - Formerly Falafel Feast - Chicken Kebab platter with mint lemonade - Mediterranean Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I was driving through the main street when I saw "Falafel" in front of the store. I had cravings since then and finally able to try it for dinner today! I am obsessed with the preparation of the food. It is worth the 15minute wait. I mean just look at these pictures. Best kofta kebab in town. Do not hesitate to try. My advice is to order in advance so you don't have to stand and wait while they cook it. Time it so the food is still hot when you get home. I will come back to this restaurant again! Most likely tomorrow and the day after!!!! read more

New restaurant alert! Falafel Feast is a new restaurant on Wood Avenue as downtown Linden continues to transform. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, and in fact we almost walked right by it since you can't really see their name when walking down the sidewalk. Inside, it's a pretty typical takeout joint with a good number of tables if you want to eat your food there- order at the counter and grab a seat (which are stamped with Pret A Manger?) and wait to be called up when it's ready. The food is pretty straight forward- pitas, wraps, salads, rice bowls- with your choice of protein or falafel if you so desire. Prices are reasonable for the area and portions about average. I was impressed with how they had multiple fresh made soups available. Only thing I hope they improve on is the staff working the cash register. The girl working there seemed to be more interested in browsing her Instagram feed than interacting with guests. Very rare that my "thank you" as I walk out the door is flat out ignored! read more

This stuff is goooood!!! Chicken is juicy and flavorful! Ate it about a week ago and can't stop thinking about it, I'll be getting some for lunch today! We got a chicken kebab sandwich, chicken shawarma sandwich, hummus, Arabian salad, some falafels. The sauce and chicken in the sandwich is phenomenal! I seriously have been dreaming of it for days. The hummus was creamy and tasty. Loved the pita bread, need more. The salad came w this lemon dressing? I put a ? Bc it had no oil, just straight lemon. My bf kept calling it lemonade, it was soooo good!!!! Falafels weren't my thing, I usually love them, they had a kind of bitterness to them? Can't put my finger on it. The sauce made it better of course, I just don't know if it will become part of my normal order, which it always is. I seriously cannot wait to try more!!! read more

We have been very pleased each time we visit. The customer service is good, friendly staff, and family owned. Some of the dishes we tried are the mixed grill platter with chicken and lamb kabob, and kufta. Chicken and lamb gyro sandwiches and platter. The portion size is good, filling, and they use traditional seasonings. We tried the Hawashi (traditional Egyptian dish). The Greek salad is also good The prices are fair, and they also make their own fresh juices. All of the food is halal read more

I got the shawarma platter, the food was good but the service took way too long most likely because they were busy bc of the multiple orders

Food was not good, worst shawarma plate ive had in some time and no pita bread, fries were salty, and mozzarella sticks had me asking myself what was i thinking lol. No condiments no ketchup, no marinara sauce etc. they need to go back to the old name and food lol. I will not be back! read more

I ordered from here and they overcharged the order for a mixed grill! It was nothing but onions and rice with burnt small pieces of meat. Do not order from here! Almost $20 for a normal plate and I PAID FOR EXTRA KOFTA! The pictures are what I got back what I ordered read more

And I went back....'cause you know... I am always hungry..... and second visit was better than the first! Don't miss the lentil soup ( it was dairy based with spinach ) and simply divine!! The tabbouleh was also fabulous-- And maybe the best part of all of this-- They run a scratch kitchen.... they make everything from scratch.... homemade is the best made..... read more

Had the falafel pita. So good!! Really good portion for how much it was and it was ready really quick too. The pita bread was really fluffy and had a great texture. Generous with the sauces. Falafel had great flavor Had a variety of soda choices read more

Pretty good food. Ordered two small Chicken Shwarma over rice with salad for my kid and mother. They put white sauce and hot sauce on the side.it was pretty good. It was a total of $17.xx after taxes. read more

How does this place have good reviews? The chicken shawarma wrap was chicken with a repulsive amount of cinnamon? Why cinnamon? And Mayo- not tahini. The babaganoush literally just tasted like garlic, I don't even know if there was eggplant in there it just tasted like garlic Mayo. I am so confused, I have not had food I would refuse to eat in a long time and I could not stomach another single bite. Also to note, the chicken was fatty, chewy and terrible. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Nope. Don't do it. Picked up a Greek salad and a chicken kabob platter. The Greek salad was completed wilted. The kabob platter had clumpy rice and rubbery chicken. I should have known something wasn't quite right when 1 guy was doing everything (taking orders and doing all the cooking). I really wanted to support these guys but I must be honest. read more

AWESOME NEW BUSINESS! I was in the mood for a tasty chicken gyro and was not disappointed. The owners are friendly, helpful, and patient. Service was fast and the premise is cl I will definitely be a loyal returning customer! read more

Fair is fair. I didn't eat here, so my review is based on the fact that no bathroom is available to the public. Indeed, maybe the falafel is great and wondrous, but read on: I had time to kill while getting tires and a brake job at Hometown Tire (incidentally, a fine tire purveyor, with a nice clean bathroom), and had planned on lunch at Falafel Feast. So, I walk in and announce that I would like a Falafel Pita, but first I'd like to use the bathroom. But no, says the fellow, albeit quite politely, that they have no bathroom for customers. I was told I might find facilities at the Quick Check, across the street and down the way in the strip mall. "Is that where he goes?" I mull. Well, my rule is that, unless absolutely starving, I do not patronize eateries that don't convivially supply bathroom facilities for customers, and am especially circumspect when they have dine-in facilities and don't offer them, or claim that they are broken. I am caused to wonder whether or not local ordinance stipulates that same should be provided. Yes, I know it's a pain cleaning the bathroom regularly, and trying to discern among clean-intentioned customers, as well as not so clean-intentioned customers, and, heaven forbid, the sundry street person who, too, suffers that human affliction known as natural body functions. Yes, alas it's so. Truth be told, dear reader, I cannot comfortably eat whilst necessity calls. And, I can't eat while scowling that the establishment I am in doesn't think enough of his or her fellow human being to offer the convenience of a toilet facility. My G-d, man! What are we on this Earth for if not to offer poor, hungry travelers an oasis courtesy of either Kohler or American Standard? And so, for all I know, Falafel Feast cooks up falafel pita sandwiches every bit as good as the two best places I frequent: Falafel Hut in Montclair, and Allan's Falafel in Chester, New York. Both are great. In any case, it was no falafel feast for this hungry, but thankfully not poor, traveler.. read more

FOOD IS AMAZING. I had a Grilled Salmon Platter last week. AND I'm still thinking about that Plate! Lmfao A MUST have if you like Seafood. I know the owner personally as well. Great man It's an honor to support and give a good review read more

DISGUSTING!!! Falafels are GREASE BALLS; they have no flavor, they taste like they're cooked in old grease, and that's all you taste. I was definitely disappointed. And I bought FOUR falafel appetizers (20 falafels) to add to my party meal...and they didn't even come with flat bread. I had hoped to introduce them to my family, especially my brother who is newly eating plant-based. This was NOT the experience I wanted them to have for the first time. Needless to say they got trashed... Total waste of money, time, and intention. read more

This place has fantastic food! The chicken shish kebab is excellent! Highly recommend their food

I love the price and they are quick to serve . Plus they give good portion for a platter . Quick and easy is all I can say

Just had a lovely falafel sandwich that was very well priced at $5.99. Nice sauces too. Hot, jalapeño, and tahini. Yum. Excellent meal. read more

FINALLY !!! So happy with this new addition to Linden! Tried it on Saturday after getting my nails done on Wood Ave and must say- my shawarma pita sandwich was absolutely delicious.

Great addition to downtown Linden, NJ! Cute little spot only doing takeouts due to covid. Ordered on Yelp a chicken shawarma sandwich and chicken tikka. Both were great. My favorite was the shawarma very flavorful, melt in your mouth type of sandwich that you crave for. Falafel are smooth, freshly made to order. Sorry for no photos we were hungry. Check'm out!! read more

I ordered twice from this restaurant for delivery and the food was greatly portioned each time! I ordered the falafel platter and the plant protein platter. Both were very filling, came with a lot of rice (almost too much), and the falafel balls are decently sized. The only thing I didn't love is that the platters didn't come with a white sauce both times. Delivery is quick and the food tastes freshly made. Would definitely order from this place again. read more

I noticed that this place had quite a few vegan options on the menu so I figured I'd give them a try. I'm happy that I did because the food was very fresh and delicious! I ordered the power protein platter and it came with enough food for 2 servings depending on ones appetite. I was helped by Sammi(sp?), who I believe is the owner. The service was very friendly and pleasant. I will definitely be supporting this business regularly. read more
