From high above the rock-cragged throne of Hlidskjalf, Loki, Thor's malevolent and mischievous half-brother, enacts a hypothesis with a straightforward premise in Chris Claremont and Arthur Adams's New Mutants Special Edition #1: What price would Ororo Munroe, better known to twenty-first-century audiences as Storm of the X-Men, pay to secure, once again, her command over hurricane-level winds and Jupiter's Red Eye-swaths of lightning? In the articulated thoughts of Loki, "to become a Goddess in fact as well as name?" Falafel Inc., launched in Georgetown in 2017 by a Palestinian-American, Ahmad Ashkar, began with a similar thought-provoking premise: What if he could honor his mother's falafel, his heritage, and make a difference on a worldwide scale in the refugee crisis, not just with donations to programs like World Food Programme but with employment and even franchisee-ownership opportunities for refugees? In the not-so-halcyon days of 2024, a franchise location opened up just off of Baltimore Avenue in College Park, Maryland; and the restaurant's trademarked, delicious and affordable schwarma, pita, and, verily (to invoke Thor-speak), falafel became a reality for our own Terrapin-populated community (at least during the fall and spring). With fast, kind, service and scrumptious and memorable food, infused with the knowledge that the founder's mission for social outreach will always remain a commitment, what are you waiting for? Only the baklava is bite-sized, three bites to be precise. read more

These kids got so many good options in College Park. As a terp alum I'm jealous! I was nearby and noticed this place. I decided to stop in. It's easy to place your order on the kiosk. I got the zaatar fries and the $5 falafel bowl! Yes it was $5 and packed with so fresh and tasty ingredients! The fries were good. There's alot of sauces to choose from. I liked the garlic and invisible. Yummy! This is just a take out spot. No seating available. I'll be back to try some other menu items. read more

I've gone to the Tyson's location a few times and was introduced to the restaurant through a friend, so I'm glad there is a location much closer! I've only tried their rice bowl with the vegan meat, and I totally recommend it. This time, I decided to try the vegan meat in a pita pocket. It was good, but I think I'll stick with the rice bowl from now on. I also got a side of fries, and the seasoning is a bit too much for me. Surprising, as I love me a well seasoned meal! I think a lesser amount would've been just fine. I love the various vegan sauce options!! I didn't want to be too greedy so I only got four lol. They all have a unique taste and can't go wrong with any of them. The restaurant is carry out only, so there's no where to sit. The wait wasn't long at all. I think it took around 10 minutes, so I just sat in my car while waiting. If you're not familiar with this area, the parking is very limited, but I'm usually lucky to find a spot right in front. read more

I stumbled upon this cute Falafel carry out close to my home. The $5.00 Falafel bowl sign caught my attention so I had to try it since I love falafel. I wasn't disappointed, I got the Falafel bowl with sauce on the side and it was delicious. I got a good size salad with about 8 falafels. Even though the balls were a bit smaller than other places it was filling. It's a small carry out with a good selection on the menu and variety of drinks. The young lady who served me was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely make this one of my favorites. read more

You can go wrong with falafel, especially with $5 falafel bowls and $4 falafel wraps- prices almost unheard of these days. Falafel inc doesn't disappoint with its fresh falafels that are made fresh to order and the bowls that are jam packed with greens, cabbage; tabouli, and zatar chips. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from but my favorite are the invisible and habibi sauces. The zatar fries were freshly fried as well but i think next time i would ask for less of the zatar seasoning as My order was fully covered in zatar. Overall, i loved my food from falafel inc and you definitely can't beat the value. I'd definitely come back to try their falafel wrap or the new chicken rice bowl. read more

So THIS is Falafel Inc -- I had been hearing about them for years, literally. They were featured on a couple of top lists and everyone insists that their falafel must be tried! Their location was never convenient, and whenever I was in their area, I had already eaten! *facepalm* Anyways I was leaving a holiday market in College Park over the weekend, and was walking back to my car. I turn and I see a familiar logo. And I'm like "wait a minute!" I walk up to it, I see that they're open. And I'm dumbfounded... because how did I not hear about this beforehand?! At this point it's been around for like 2 months. I'm ashamed of myself. It has a bright interior, and they have their bowl and dips on display. Their falafel bowl looked quite filling... and it's only $5. And while smaller than other balls I've seen, I spotted quite a few falafel balls in there! As a first timer, I decided to just go with that, and change nothing so I could have it as is. It was ready within 5 minutes. I got my spot in front of TV at home and dug in as I queued up a show. It was delicious! It had falafel, red cabbage, tabouli, pickles and zaatar chips on greens, and some sauce. I also added hummus, which I believe was an extra dollar. Everything went so well together, and that price still shocks me! It was GREAT. They have plenty of sides and shelves of drinks. Will be going back ASAP to report on other items. read more

I was so excited to find out that Falafel Inc had made its debut in College Park! I've tried Georgetown's Falafel Inc before and I'm very glad they're expanding. I usually get their shawarma sandwich and am always surprised that it's vegan because the "meat" is so juicy and tender. Their special sauce really elevates everything from the pitas to the bowls to the fries. I'm afraid I'm not the biggest fan of falafel, but somehow, Falafel Inc's is the exception. It's moist and flavorful, and not to mention, so affordable too. As exceptional as the food is, the thing that really stood out to me was the service at this location. I had a lovely chat with the manager, and he was so kind and generous. He ended up offering some hummus and baklava for me to try - both were amazing. The hummus tasted so fresh and the baklava was flaky and sweet. The store was also giving out free tote bags and I'm very proud to rep such a good cause, as their proceeds go towards to helping refugees. I wish nothing but the best for Falafel Inc, and hope they continue to thrive. read more

Falafel Inc - FALAFEL SANDWICH - Falafel Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I tried the falafel Sandwich with Za'atar fries. For the falafel sandwich, I paired with invisible sauce which made for a spicy taste to the sandwich. I loved how affordable it was. I was able to both items for ~$9. The sandwich was $4.50 and the fries $4. Za'atar fries weren't the freshest, but the seasoning blend (which consisted of dry herbs) on them made for an unique taste. Can substitute protein with a vegan shawarma that seems to made in-house. I ordered online and it was easy plus I was able to customized my order. This location is in the midst of the University of Maryland area and has parking in front of building to easily get in and out. It is located right over Baltimore Ave. The facility is clean and it is takeout only. read more

Falafel inc lives up to its name. It is delicious, incredibly affordable food. I went with my friend and got a falafel sandwich for lunch and a falafel rice bowl to take home with me and try lager. The falafel sandwich was $4. Only FOUR dollars!! It was incredibly delicious and very filling. The rice bowl was also super delicious!! Their fries are also to die for. And don't skip on the sauces - all of them are genuinely some of the best sauces I've ever had. The worker was super nice and my friend and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch!! read more

I ordered via Uber Eats. Got the falafel bowl and asked for an extra Habibi sauce. Did not receive it. The Falafel bowl is really a salad. It was a small bowl packed with a ton of baby spinach. Uber Eats describes tabbouleh and a tomato cucumber salad (pali) with it, and it is pictured as being balanced. Instead what I received was a huge bowl of baby spinach with a heaping amount of cabbage, and a small (no bigger than a teaspoon each) of tabbuleh and pali salad. All packed into a bowl that was too small to cut up and enjoy it. I had to transfer everything to a larger bowl and significantly reduce the amount of spinach (without my extra sauce). Only bright spot was the falafel itself and the zatar chips. read more

Quick service, it's like a fast food falafel joint. 2 employees both very nice. The falafels and food were priced affordable. No sit down area, so if you go here plan ahead on where you'll be eating. They have about 6-7 sauces on the counter you can choose from. I had the falafel bowl which was a salad bowl & the zaatar fries. read more

Falafel inc has been one my favorite places to eat in dc because of their delicious food, affordable prices, and meaningful mission to support immigrants and refugees.

I 100% recommend their catering service in addition to the restaurant. read more
