THE GOOD ---------------- + Solid Mediterranean/Middle Eastern Sandwiches. ++++ Kofta Kebab and Gyro Sandwiches - Both were packed into an open-ended pita bread. Sandwich had decent flavor, white sauce mixed in and a good amount of vegetables inside, but could have definitely used more meat. ++++ Chicken Shawarma Sandwich - Much better than the other 2 sandwiches we had. The sandwich was served in a wrap and there was A LOTTTT of chicken shawarma packed into it. Chicken was juicy, tender and flavorful. + Plenty of tables and chairs inside. + Employee who served us was friendly and our food came out super quick. + Smallish private parking lot outside, but there aren't many businesses at this little strip mall. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Quiet on an early Saturday afternoon at 11:30-1. No one else was dining inside, but there were a few pick up orders. read more

- Shares a small parking lot with a few other businesses; the dining room is spacious with plenty of tables for dine-in, but the space feels a bit dated with noticeable wear and tear on some tables and chairs; surprisingly empty on a Saturday afternoon during lunch--we were the only dine-in customers, with just a couple of takeout orders coming through - Service was friendly overall, but not very attentive; we tried a few times to get our server's attention for extra utensils and eventually had to grab them ourselves - Unfortunately, food was just OK--we ordered the Gyro Sandwich, Kofta Kebab Sandwich, and Chicken Shawarma Sandwich: gyro and kofta were underwhelming--the meats weren't very hot and didn't taste particularly fresh, and the portions felt a bit light; chicken shawarma came in a wrap instead of the advertised pita, but the chicken itself was hot, flavorful, and generously portioned; the fries served with the sandwiches were well seasoned and one of the better parts of the meal read more

Just got a DoorDash delivery. Half the food, especially the salad tasted spoiled or off. The hummus had rotten garlic paste on it that stunk like a dead body. The Greek salad had an ammonia scent. The felafel was bland and hard. The eggplant salad had too much sugar, sickeningly sweet. The cheese borek smelled like rancid oil. The whole $77 order went in the garbage. Disgusting. read more

I've been to the Fairfield Falafel House a few times now. My experience is that they are inconsistent. First time was excellent. Everything was fresh and delicious. The second time wasn't all that great. This the third visit was mixed. We ordered a lamb kebab platter which was very good. Tender cubes of lamb served with white sauce, rice and salad. Fresh and flavorful. We also ordered vegetarian grape leaves which were excellent as well. Served warm and perfectly seasoned. The final item was a chicken kebab sandwich which wasn't very good at all. There really wasn't much chicken and the little bit of chicken was bland and very dry. We typically do take out and the staff is on point. The prices are just a bit on the high side for this type of fare. The dining room is small and tastefully appointed. I may give Fairfield Falafel House a try again at some point. read more

Wow - no notes. This place is hands down our favorite Mediterranean spot so far in the area. We came with our toddler for lunch, not expecting to be completely blown away by how fresh everything was. We enjoyed the muhammarah dip and tabbouleh salad as starters. Our toddler absolutely crushed the kids chicken kabob platter, which is a full adult portion in of itself. We also tried the gyro platter, which was a stand out dish - each piece of meat was juicy and also charred to perfection. The toum or garlic sauce was the perfect accompaniment and didn't leave us embarrassed of our breath to socialize with others after. Highly recommend this establishment! We'll be back to try the desserts next time. read more

I've eaten here a few times and had a good experience. I ordered takeout this week and got a Greek salad, which was packaged with no dressing, and added chicken. For $7, this is the chicken that was provided. They said it is one skewer, but it truly must be the world's tiniest skewer, because I have never seen a skewer that only holds four tiny pieces of chicken which, as you can see, are smaller than the tiny dressing cup. It feels highly overpriced to be this and a chicken platter for $50. Very disappointing, read more

I am an American who had the great opportunity to live and work in Arabia and the Middle East in the seventies and eighties. I so much enjoyed the Swarmas from the street vendors...AWESOME! Tonight I ordered the Chicken Swarma platter for delivery. * They don't deliver. *OK, I'll pick up. The menu quoted 19.00 platter, and as a last minute impulse I asked for an order of Baklava. I picked it up and was charged $34.10. I got a five and a one in change after I passed two twenties and a dime. The food I had in front of me was NOT nor ever been a Chicken Swarma. Its little hard nuggets hid a bed of under cooked rice. There was a two once cup of dried hard white sauce pretending to be cucumber mint. Finally I had Diarrhea to top off a crappy experience. The cashier called while I was busy in the John, and said they wanted to make....phone went dead. read more

My fiancé and I got 2 of the mixed grilled platters (one with fries, one with rice), and they were reasonably good- not great. I think the flavors were there but the meat was a bit dry & it was a little expensive when I think the servings could have been bigger. I did enjoy the salad a lot though- the red onions and cabbage were amazing! I'm definitely willing to try it again, might just have to dine in to get a better experience! read more

Just happened to be near by and stopped for dinner here. Was pleasantly surprised by the delicious Mediterranean food! Hummus was really smooth and delicious served with whole chickpeas and authentic Mediterranean olive oil, in a perfect world this would have been served with a hard boiled egg (was sorry to hear they don't sell it by the pint as would have loved to take some home) Greek salad was very good and had red cabbage which I have not seen before but it works, the large is indeed a sizable portion. The shish kebab (beef fillet) was the star of the meal Chicken kebab had a nice kick, but would have preferred a fattier cut like thighs Lamb kebab was a bit chewy but well seasoned. Service was very good as well, does seem that it's more of a takeout/delivery establishment, though the dining room is pleasant, though kitchen was a tad boisterous We will def be back to try the falafel, shawarma and kofta kebab read more

Top tier lentil soup and shawarma platter 35$ altogether is great value for the amount of food, portions are very generous! read more

I ordered 2 large Greek salads with romaine. 1 with gyro meat. That was good - 4 stars. 1 with salmon. That was also good. - 3 stars. Greek salad - 1 star. See pics below of what was left of the salad to see what was left after only really eating the meat and a few cucumbers. Price $46 - 1 star - overpriced. Great service - 5 stars... read more

Good Quantity .. But, NOT great Quality! We ordered Falafal Sandwich .. the sauce was sour and salty! And we had asked for Toasty Pita Bread .. Instead everything was COLD! French Fries were Great and service was good as well .. read more

I got 4 things and will write my opinion. 1. Hummus-bland and even tho I like olive oil it was slightly bitter. Try Cappadoccia in Little falls for great hummus. 2. Muhammara- It was also bland. Lots of red pepper skin that made certain bites weird. Try King of Shish in Totowa (Syrian style) 3. Gyro sandwich-Pretty good and tasty. I would order again. Stamna in Bloomfield is my go to choice. 4. Promo chicken sandwich-tasted like shawarma which was not bad but no charcoal flavor or char as advertised. Many better mid-east places out there, but if you don't know better this will suffice. read more

Best falafel sandwich I had in a while. The fries were amazing cooked to perfection Wish I leave close by read more

The best. The Muhammara is unbelievable. Great falafel. The red cabbage that's on their sandwiches is amazing.

Very friendly fast service. Ordered app Baba Ghanoush and lamb kabob sandwich. Food was very good and prices inline with the times.

I am so excited to finally have a local authentic middle eastern restaurant in this area. The flavors are incredible and the service is amazing. I have dined in and ordered take out and loved both experiences... I'm not a big dessert fan but the rice pudding was so good I definitely recommend this place and you will not be disappointed!! It's family owned and you'll get that authentic home cooked meal every time read more

If you enjoy Middle Eastern food, check this place out. Just opened. Delicious food (somewhat misnamed since this is so much more than a falafel joint). The hummus with meat, baba ganoush, eggplant salad, salmon platter, lamb kabob platter, chicken shawarma platter and mixed platter (and not pictured the kofta platter and the arayes toshka meat & cheese app) were all excellent. The platters also come with a nice salad. Great new addition to the area. We will be dining here and taking out from here often. Great owners as well; a real family owned joint. read more

Really good falafel! Enough space to dine in, but it's usually a bit crowded during lunch time. Limited parking available in a shared lot. They charge credit card fees, best to use cash if you can. read more

Fresh and healthy ingredients, great prices, and very nice service. Recommend if you are craving Mediterranean and in the Fairfield area

Wonderful fresh pita sandwiches, kebabs, falafel, etc. Nice atmosphere, great food and friendly service, not to mention reasonable prices. Their French fries are amazing, and their fresh made humus is not to be missed. read more

Ordered a few platters for take out and was very surprised on how good the food was. Lots of times it's hit or miss with new Mediterranean places but everything here was cooked and seasoned well. The chicken kabob, shawarma and gyro were all fresh and tasted very good. The side salad and rice were a perfect compliment with the meats. They give you a fair share of ours bread which was warm and not stale like a lot of other places. All and all was a good experience from order to pickup and scarfing it all down :) read more

Arrived in NJ from Maryland and drove in a bit late. We did a quick search for a nearby spot. We showed up 25 minutes before close. The server Hebah but was so sweet and kind. The food was fresh and delicious! The hummus was SO smooth and flavorful. My son got the chicken gyro and loved it. My husband got lamb kebab sandwich and I got a delicious Greek salad everyone loved their food. Support small businesses and it's Palestinian owned read more

Excellent fresh Falafel! Staff is very friendly and provides fast service. Highly recommended!

I'm about to write a love letter. I've been wanting to try Fairfield Falafel house for a while now, I finally got the chance today. My order was waiting when I walked in. A friendly employee came around the counter to help me pick up my bag. The restaurant was clean and very well set up. If more time allowed I would have just eaten there. I ordered the falafel sandwich and the mixed falafel house sampler. The sandwich was hefty, but so well balanced. It also came with fries that were pretty tasty! Despite me taking a minute to pick my food up the falafel were still crunchy yet moist on the inside. The pickles and red cabbage offered the perfect crunch and acidity to complement them. Served inside a pita, I was able to not make a mess of myself. I cannot wait to try the rest of the sandwiches. The sampler was absolutely beautiful and equally delicious. The hummus was silky smooth. Baba ghanouj had a slight lemon tang and had a nice smoky flavor. The muhammara.... Oh my word the muhammara. The last time I had it this good was when a Syrian friend made it for me. Just enough heat and sweetness. Amazing. The sampler also comes with pita and three falafel that were cooked perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, super moist on the inside. I'm packed but still want to eat every last bite. I'm already excited for my next order. read more

Hidden gem of Fairfield! Everything I have ordered has been very taste! Also get a side of the creamy garlic sauce it's so good! I order weekly from them read more

Was craving something amazing and new, something that's not a large chain and would hit the spot. This restaurant is lovely! My hubby picked up not long and for about $50 we got two appetizers, a sandwich and a plate. It is way more than we can eat in one sitting so essentially we have two meals for each of us. Now on to the food. If amazing had a taste ... this would be it. The falafel was delish! The sauces are great too - handmade and tasty. The rice and chicken and steak were pure perfection - super flavorful and moist and cooked perfectly. The hummus was .... Chefs kiss! We will certainly be back over and over. Thank you for giving us exactly what we were craving! read more

The food is truly the best I have ever tasted! Everything my friend and I ordered was delicious and full of flavor. For appetizers We had the hummus with meat and pine nuts on top, kibbeh balls, falafel. For the main course, I had the kufta kabbab sandwich and she had the kufta kabbab platter. The food was so delicious that we ordered food to take home to our husbands. Our bill was $173 with the food to go. We didn't care because the food was so worth it. The service was excellent! The place was bright and very clean. We will definitely be a regular customers here. read more

Food is excellent and you can tell they make their own pita bread from scratch fresh out of their oven. The best tzatziki sauce you will ever taste in Fairfield, but perhaps in New Jersey. I had the gyro platter which is enough for one or even two persons. The chef buys the produce fresh everyday and all meat, rice, and vegetables are cooked to order. The quality of the meat is excellent. The service is amazing. I created a problem to see what would happen and they accommodated everything always polite, humble, and with a smile. Prices are affordable. For example, a filet mignon shush kebab is $28, which is the most expensive of their dishes. This is an affordable place. Ambiance is a 9-10 with many tables of different sizes , good lighting, central AC for the summer, and the place is super clean. If you like Mediterranean food, this is a choice you won't regret. read more

What a little gem. Found it searching for an eatery in the area while visiting NJ. I love gyros and so glad we chose this spot. Great gyro sandwich. I loved that it was served in a pita pocket and wrapped in paper instead of in a folded pita wrapped in foil like most places do. Was so much easier to eat, plus no foil to accidentally bite into and get that yikes! sudden feeling that rubs thru your body when you do. The toppings on the gyro were bright and beautiful and very tasty, and the sauce was amazing. My only wish was there was more sauce on the gyro, was only on top of the pocket and before halfway thru my gyro there was none. Server was very pleasant, very clean and small informal setting. I loved it! read more

Got delivery from this new middle eastern restaurant in Fairfield off of Uber eats. Smooth and creamy hummus was a highlight along with the dips, spreads , fries, and chicken Schwarma platter. Great addition to the neighborhood and strongly recommend. Really delicious. read more

This place only opened in fall 2022, so everything is newly renovated and very clean. Food is authentic arabic and quality. Family owned and run business the mother is the main cook and it shows, food made with care and love and is delicious. Grilled mixed platter (chicken, beef, kofta) was cooked perfectly as was tye kibbeh. Hummous is as good, if not better than my mom's which is saying a. lot, Lamb kabob sandwich is a generous portion, overflowinng. Non arabic sandwich like chicken cutlet with mozzarella was solid. If you want genuine arabic and don't want to drive to Paterson/Clifton this Fairfield gem is right on Rt 46 (West) right BEFORE the u-turn at the light and BEFORE liquor store directly across from Manheim Auto Auction. read more

3rd trip and the food is consistently great. Kofta and the chicken kebabs are great. Love the House Salad.

Tried this place last Saturday for lunch. Had to try the falafel of course. It was delicious served with a nice tahini sauce. Also tried the kibbeh. Also very delicious! The restaurant is super clean and freshly decorated. Our server, who I believe was the owner, was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back to try other sandwiches and platters. Highly recommend this place. read more
