    The Falafel Bar counter
    Greg G.

    The Falafel Bar is located inside the Expo Market on Main Street between Tupper and Chippewa in downtown Buffalo. It's my first encounter at this walk up counter restaurant. Things got off to a slow start. The staff were busy in the kitchen so they didn't see me at first however, the employees from the taco place next door let them know I was there. It wasn't a problem at all and they were apologetic for the wait. The food as it turned out was very good. The menu on the chalkboard behind the counter was large and contains a multitude of wraps, salads sandwiches and burgers. Wraps/Sandwiches $9 Falafel Wrap Hummus Wrap Falafel Hummus Wrap Shawarma Wrap Gyro Wrap Three Sisters Wrap (Hummus, Gyro, Tomato, Fried Eggplant, Tahini) Israeli Wrap Lebanese Wrap Vegan Portobello Shawarma Pita Greek Lamb Burger Chicken Finger Wrap Salads $8 Add Falafel, Gyro, Chicken or Shawarma = $3 Falafel Combo (Falafel, Hummus, Greek Salad) $12 Greek Salad Fatoush (Romaine, Tomato, Cucumber, Crispy Pita Chips, & Zaatar) Starters/Sides Tzatziki, Hummus, Tabouli w/Pita $8 Falafel $7 Fries $3 Greek Fries $5 Soup (Lentil or Soup of the Day) $5 I had the Three Sisters Wrap it was delicious. The fried eggplant was a good compliment to the flavorful gyro meat and hummus. The tahini rounded out the sandwich nicely. Next I had the lentil soup which was full of lentil but lacks a stronger broth feeling. It seems watery but filling nonetheless. I added a side of souvlaki chicken meat and that was a grilled marinated moist enjoyable end to a very good meal. All in all a good experience! The Expo has five restaurants in all and I intend to return frequently. La divina taco heaven is right next door to the falafel bar and i have always enjoyed their fare.

    The place was nestled in a indoor restaurant strip, the front counter woman was really nice, helpful and attentive. This is my first time in buffalo so it was nice to be greeted immediately. If you're in the area Falafel Bar is a good place to grab a bite from, I got the gyro wrap and regular fries for $13.05. Decent, refreshing, and worth it

Although we we the first people there at 1pm for dine-in, there was a steady stream of take-out orders getting picked up, as well as other (mostly men) coming to dine. The chairs are wide and overstuffed, and the tables are just the right height. It's a, "have another bite" atmosphere. There are long prayers coming from the speakers. Even a non-Arabic speaker like me knows that, "Bismillah" doesn't rhyme! The better half's take on his kebab? "This is the best lamb I've ever had!". I thought the shwarma and fries were great, but the hummus served with warm pita, some fruity, green olive oil, and a sprinkling of sumac/ za'atar really knocked it out of the park. I was dipping my fries in it! We ended the meal with a long slice of pistachio backlava. Oh, so good!

I know Almaza is known for their rotisserie chicken, but I chose to try their other dishes on this trip. Some may feel the prices are on the higher side, but honestly the prices are quite fair. Reason being is, there was enough food to feed two people. You can dine in or just order takeout, either choice you're going to have some good food. Kibbie- I liked these handheld Lebanese beef croquettes. The seasoning was good and it does come with some sauces, but I didn't need them. I was fine with how well the croquettes tasted alone Pastelillos- I loved these meat pies..I could eat these all day Mediterranean lamb plate- The bed of rice that comes with the dish, is totally different tasting that I have ever had. Manly because of the shaved almonds, and cinnamon. But by no means, do I have any complaints. The lamb pieces with this entree was a good compliment.

Lots of little places offering what Starbucks offers (premade offerings). The GPS came up with Mythos. It wasn't far from where we were. We parked on the street behind the restaurant before noticing the blue sign indicating they had a lot behind the building. No matter. Just be aware. You walk in and immediately smell breakfast cooking. We were seated at a booth and ordered a couple cups of coffee. The menu is pretty extensive. She got eggs benedict with toast and hashbrowns. I ordered the steak and eggs breakfast special. It's Thursday morning so not a people in the restaurant. The food is out pretty quick. Coffee gets refilled without having to ask. Eggs are done right, steak is cooked medium, potatoes are a little crispy. Her eggs benedict came out just right, potatoes the same as mine. Plenty of food to fuel up in the morning. We ate and talked for a while. Waitress checked in regular to see if we needed anything. Food is gone, coffee is getting finished. Definitely a breakfast (and lunch) place to check out. Fast service , reasonable prices, quality food. No complaints.

I placed a DoorDash pickup order scheduled for after 5:00 PM because I was at work and wanted fresh food for my mom's birthday dinner. The order was prepared significantly earlier than the scheduled pickup time (around 4:30 PM), which has also happened before with scheduled orders at this restaurant. When I called to ask about the timing, I was shown a restaurant receipt listing a "promised time" of 4:11 PM. I explained that 4:11 PM was the time I placed the order, not the scheduled pickup time. I was told to take the issue up with DoorDash and was directed to use their direct ordering system instead. When I arrived, I again explained the situation and was shown the same receipt. I asked to speak with a manager, but was told no manager would come out. During this interaction, I felt dismissed and disrespected. My concerns were not taken seriously, and I was met with unprofessional behavior, including being laughed at when I tried to explain that I was simply trying to get a fresh meal after working and spending nearly $70 on dinner for a special occasion. The lack of management involvement and the way the situation was handled felt unprofessional. My issue is not just the timing error, but how the situation was handled and how I was treated as a customer. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so scheduled pickup orders and customer concerns are handled more appropriately in the future.
