    Lamb and Chicken Plate
    Nicole N.

    Stopped by Falafel King for a quick takeout lunch. The lamb and chicken plate was cooked perfectly and the portion is very generous. The lamb shank is available on Thursdays and Fridays. The cashier was quick and appreciative. The restaurant is a small little spot with a few tables and chairs. It seems more popular for takeout.

    Kafta with Falafel Roll-Up
    Mark T.

    Well, one thing I can say for sure - this is a man-sized portion, enough to quench even the most voracious appetite! The Kafta with Falafel Roll-Up is a simple dish. While it isn't mind-blowing, sometimes simplicity is best, and here it works wonders! My only complaint is regarding execution: the ingredients were not consistently distributed. While I appreciate the challenges of doing so in a burrito, I feel that this doesn't apply to a rollup in the same way. It took until about the middle before the tomato and hummus made themselves known. The dish contained a generous amount of protein! The Kafta was flavorful and cooked well. The spinkles of falafel were in perfect amount also. Where it comes to veggies, I loved the salt, light acid, and crunch from the pickles. The lettuce helped add some crunch and freshness as well. Now, while I appreciate what the tomato did in adding moisture, being found only in the middle meant the effect was more limited. The same is true of the hummus - while I enjoyed its addition of creamy and savory notes, these were concentrated towards the center. I've no complaints about the tahini - it worked well accenting flavors throughout. Now, a few "before-I-forget" notes: - The Vimto drink was great! It is a unique blend of fruits, herbs and spices. Even if you're not a fan of soft drinks, I would still recommend trying it - The service is friendly and relatively fast, considering the freshness of the food. - The interior is a little plain, and seating is limited. While you are welcome to dine-in, this does appear to be more of a takeout-type spot. Thus, while my takeaway is to get a plate instead of a rollup next time, Falafel King has a lot going for it. While the food wasn't mind blowing, it delivered of a hearty, filling, and tasty meal! Well done!

    Nicely wrapped lamb roll up, w drink. Delicious.
    Eliza N.

    Very delicious roll up lamb sandwich. Very nice woman took my order. On a street lined with mostly Asian restaurants Falafel King offers something different. Many items vegetarian and meat roll up, plate combinations w chicken, beef etc. some w salad, hummus, grape leaves, Lamb perfectly cooked roll up assembled nicely. Cooked to order not from a steam Table. Nice tahini sauce. Todays special: lamb shank plates salad and rice only 14.95

    Lamb, chicken, and kafta mixed plate
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I got a falafel plate, lamb, chicken, and kafta mixed plate, and Vimto drink - TASTE: 4/5 - had high expectations for the falafel and they delivered! The hummus on the side was super flavorful too and so easy to eat. Of the meats, I enjoyed the kafta the best. The Vimto drink was sweet and fruity TEXTURE: 5/5 - falafel was fried and crunchy on the outside w chewy chickpea filling on the inside. Both plates included soft rice pilaf and a small salad w crisp tomatoes and lettuce, which helped break up the entrees PRICE: 4/5 - our total came out to $32 SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - much bigger portions than we expected and filled us up for dinner SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:45pm on a Thursday, ordered at the counter, and our food came out less than 10min later. A handful of folks came in and out for their takeout, some of whom appeared to be regulars ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 - dated space w approximately five tables for seating PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot on Hancock St

    Small family owned place in Quincy . Food was sitting out for awhile looking pretty dry but tasted pretty good somehow . But all in all the food was decent. Not much seatings.

    Front of restaurant for take out orders. Hand sanitizer available!
    Marie M.

    5 stars for their falafel, which are the best in New England. We live about an hour away, but whenever we're in Quincy we always order food from Falafel King. Hubby likes the wrap, but I like eating them individually which costs $0.95 each. This is a fast food place for take out only. I recommend ordering over the phone because it takes about 10 minutes to prepare the food and there's no place to sit. Street parking on a crowded and busy road, but I usually find a spot nearby.

    Chicken and Kafta Plate
    John H.

    Good choice for takeout. You get a giant amount of food for $15. The chicken and kafta plate is a great option for a little bit of everything if you're feeling hungry. The meat was well seasoned. Hummus and pita was solid.

Every dish tasted so fresh and full of flavor, and the whole meal felt warm and welcoming from start to finish. We got: FRESH BREAD WITH HUMMUS AND OLIVE OIL Complimentary and absolutely delicious. The bread was warm and soft, and the homemade hummus paired with olive oil was smooth, flavorful, and such a comforting way to begin the meal. Simple but done so well. FRESH OYSTERS Juicy, briny, and incredibly fresh. Each one had that perfect ocean flavor and needed nothing more than a squeeze of lemon. Such a refreshing starter. BURRATA Served with grilled vine ripe tomato, basil pesto, roasted red pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. The burrata was creamy and delicate, the tomatoes tasted bright and sweet, and the pesto added an herby richness that tied everything together. Every bite tasted fresh and vibrant. FRIED CALAMARI Crispy and tender with a fun twist from the banana peppers and olives. The extra tang and brightness from the peppers made the dish stand out, and the olives added great depth. A really unique and delicious version of a classic. LINGUINI WITH CLAMS Fresh local little neck clams with extra virgin olive oil and roasted garlic. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the broth was light but full of flavor, and the clams were sweet and tender. A comforting and beautifully prepared dish. PIZZA MARGHERITA San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and fresh parmigiano. The cheese pull was truly epic and the thin crust made this one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The sauce was bright, the mozzarella was creamy, and the crust had the perfect crisp and chew. So simple yet unforgettable. INSALATA ROMANA WITH MARINATED STEAK TIPS Romaine hearts with Caesar dressing, parmigiano, and croutons topped with tender marinated steak tips. The greens were crisp, the dressing was flavorful, and the steak tips were juicy and perfectly seasoned. A great salad that felt hearty and fresh. Everything at Rozafa was delicious, generous, and prepared with so much care. Service was fast and so friendly. We will definitely be back.

I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect.
