Our first time at this Falafel & Cafe, and what a pleasant experience! Small, quaint, and a nice atmosphere! Owned by an Egyptian gentleman who owns Prints2Go as well. We ordered our food at the register and waited less than 10 min to get our food. My falafel was absolutely delicious! I love falafel and eat it everywhere they have it and this one was my favorite! It's in a pressed pita bread and comes with some sort of sauce that almost makes this perfect sized sandwich creamy! My hubby had the chicken shawarma platter. As you can see in the pic, it was served with pita, salad and fries or rice. The chicken was so flavorful and delicious. We'll both return and share the love! Thank you! read more

Falafel N Cafe - Falafel pocket pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Very disappointing experience. They charged me $8 for this tiny salad and an extra $1.50 for a tiny cup of mayonnaise. The portions are nowhere near worth the price. To make things worse, the restaurant looked very dirty, and when I picked up my order, the entire bag was covered in grease. It was disgusting. I don't mind paying for good food, but this felt like a complete rip-off. I won't be coming back, and I hope others are aware before ordering. read more

I had a taste for a shawarma and this place popped up for me. I decided to give it a try because the prices weren't too bad and the food looked good. It wasn't too welcoming when i went into the restaurant to grab my order. I feel a little deceived when i got my order, it felt very light and I decided to open it once I was in the car and noticed how small the Shawarma was. It was only meat and some onions no tomatoes or lettuce. I paid $15 for this and feel like they cheated me. It was pretty decent, but nothing to rave over. If they added more meat, tomatoes and lettuce it would be great. Some places offer a side with a shawarma too. But if anything adding more to the wrap would feel like it's moneys worth. read more

Overpriced for skimpy portions. Did not get order right. Would not recommend this place to anyone

Wonderful people and amazing food! Nice outdoor seating as well. If you're looking for good authentic Egyptian cuisine, this is it.

The food is is warmed up by means of a microwave, and most of the shawarma , and kabab is so over cooked that it is hard as a rock. The Tahina is watered down so much so, that I wouldn't call it anything short of milky brown water. Their Greek salad is missing mostly the Greek ingredients to call it Greek anything other than a salad with feta cheese moreover, no dressing whatsoever, the potato salad was yellow and didn't have any taste at all. There is no seasoning in their meats, no flavor not marinated , just cubed meat on a wood skinny skewer. Save your self a trip and go elsewhere, as this is not a real Egyptian restaurant nor a Middle Eastern restaurant and it is more of a fast food store with some tables and chairs. I should have know better when I realized they had no customers except us. read more

Back to the drawing board. On my search to find yummy Mediterranean food I saw this place and we decided to give it a try. Upon walking in we were greeted and handed menus from a guy at the counter. We took a seat to look it over. I noticed immediately how dirty and sticky the menu was. It's a pet peeve, I don't want to touch gross menus. Anyway we went up and ordered. I asked about the cheaper "side" hummus. He showed my the serving which was quite small and NO PITA with it. So if I wanted to enjoy hummus with my meal I had to purchase the SMALL container that included pita for way WAY TOO MUCH. I make hummus, it requires a can of garbanzo beans, lemon, olive oil and tahini. Very cheap to make so I'm always astonished at the ridiculous price people charge. After ordering the guy turned the kiosk around for me to, of course tip ( even though I say myself, got up and ordered myself, and would likely need to clean up after myself) but whatever. Did it anyway. But as I saw the reflection of the kiosk and felt how dirty it was, again kinda grossed out. Had to go wash up in the bathroom. I hope the state of the menus, kiosk, bathroom and glass door are not a reflection of what the kitchen looks like!! We got our food. *sigh* I absolutely hate complaining so we just sat and ate what was given to us. I was so disappointed I just ate half my Shwarma. It was the smallest shwarma I've ever seen. Also is was nothing but minced meat. No lettuce or tomato nothing, absolutely unappetizing and boring. I ended up not eating it but took half of it home in case someone else would eat it. I decided to take a pic of that at home. Butter knife for size reference. A grown man would need to eat 2-3 of these and at the cost of $10, that's could be pricey. Nothing came with it either, no fries or side salad. After spending $45 not including tip, I went home and made a PBandJ sandwich. It sticks to leave a place hungry, unsatisfied, disappointed and $50 broker. read more

I ordered to go beef shawarma platter. It smelled delicious because of the Mediterranean spices. The rice was even better. The side salad was just American-style: lettuce, tomato, and raw white onions with Italian dressing. I wasn't pleased with the $17 cost, but actually it was a lot of meat and freshly cooked. I would definitely eat here again. read more

I never post any review in my life till now that's it's make you feel how much you guys make me disappointed and I will never go back to this place in my life. I ordered two falafel sandwich and one mix grill. I told him the two sandwich one without tahini and the other one regular he said OK and I told him I need to add hot sauce or jalapeño he said it's $.99 for extra sauce. I said if you do it like this, I already take off the tahini instead give me tahini just put hot sauce or jalapeño whatever you have he look at me he said I don't know why you guys looking for free stuff I literally get so hot and I don't know where he come from and for real it's like the first time in my life Carson him out over 2min cursed him out read more

Halal. I went to Egypt and tried a dish I ended up REALLY liking called "hawawshi". Here its called How Wow She. I was glad to have the opportunity to eat it again without having to travel to the other side of the world. This was a very neat and clean restaurant with lots and lots of seating! And there is also a shaded patio outside. Anyways the hawawshi here was very flavourful and I wish I had more. It's slightly spicy . I totally recommend it! They take credit card and have lots of parking outside. read more

I haven't been in only order via Uber Eats but Chicken shawarma was well seasoned and perfect lunch. Greek salad had A LOT of onions and lacking on lettuce. Dressing was good a little oily but potato salad was on point. Definitely would try again but not the Greek salad. read more

Dip, dip, hooray! Time for some hummus goodness! I falafel I haven't tried this place sooner! We got take out. I am a falafel fanatic and here you can find perfect balls of deep fried chick pea dreams. Pillowy soft with a crispy crust. Nice pita and a side of perfect fries. The tahini sauce was a delicious dipper. We had the mousaka and side of hummus too! Thank you for vegan options. The family carnivore enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. I'm looking forward to trying the babaganoush side and the beans. read more

The food was very good and reasonably priced. I went with my teenage granddaughter and we both liked what we ordered. We were there in the mid afternoon, so not many other patrons there. Service was fast. I would go back in the future. read more

Little Pharaoh Falafel 'N' Cafe (Mediterranean Grill) was great. My husband & I loved it. The service was great and the food delicious. We will be back soon as they have a fairly large menu . The tiramisu is simply yummy read more

Place is fairly clean...nice... went inside to place an order. Iasked a question to the only person working there and I don't think he spoke any English. The deals/prices online do not match what you find in store. OK whatever. Ordered and added the fries and drink combo. After I paid I was told the combo only included a can of soda and not the fountain that they had sitting there. Food came. It was OK at best. Portions were very small. 4.00$ for the smallest side of fries I've ever seen! Lettuce was old and gross. Falafel was OK, but a place with falafel in the name should have great falafel. Needless to say, we won't be going back. I'd rather drive 20mins away and go to a place like Fresh Bites or Istambul Grill in tampa. Too bad, because this place is right down the street and I'd be there all the time. read more

This was a wonderful place to end our vacation. Platters range from 13.99$ to 19.99$ and are quite tasty. The gyro is my highest recommend, the meat is succulent and flavorful. The rice is also tasty! I've been to places where the rice is bland, this one has just the perfect spicing. We ordered the tzatziki and hummus for starters(6.50$), only complaint is the sauce to pita ratio is waaay, off. There are six or so triangles of pita and a plate full of sauce. Only other bugaboo was the soda machine only had Diet Coke and Mountain Dew available :/ It's casual, so wear your jeans and comfy shirt. It's perfect for families. read more

Falafel N Cafe - Diet Pepsi - Mediterranean Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

We have ordered many times from Falafel N Cafe. It is one of our go to Mediterranean restaurants. Always fresh and delicious. My husband's favorite is the kofta platter. It comes with three large pieces of Kofta and you get two side choices. I have ordered a variety of different dishes before. I love Mediterranean food, so I try to choose something new every time we order. I have tried the falafel which is very good. Not dry at all. It comes with tzatziki sauce and pita bread. The grape leaves are tasty as well. The hummus is excellent! Garlicky and tangy just how I like it. I have ordered the chicken shawarma wrap before and it is delicious. If I were to critique one thing it would be that there be a little less parsley in the shawarma wrap. Other than that it's really good. The spices are on point. If you like Mediterranean food I would definitely recommend this place. The food is always fresh and you can tell a lot of love goes into making it. read more

I ordered late. Food was ok. Taste was good but the rice was pretty salty. The gyro meat was a little dried out but I think that was just from the trip over from clearwater to largo. I still would give them another try. read more

It was good. It is the food that I like to eat. I order this when I do not want to cook at home.

Shawarma, tahini, falafel -- how can you go wrong. I love all of those things! They have fresh Mediterranean food here, which is one of my favorite cuisines. Although their shawarma is great, I think what I enjoy most is the dips. The tzaziki and tahini are my favorites. To be honest, the hummus I got was a bit too oily for me -- maybe I just got a fluke batch. I love the soft pita they give for the dips and the tangy, pickled turnips (which the menu refers to simply as "pickles," so don't get confused when you don't receive picked cucumbers). Anyway they're always refreshing to dip into one of the many different options. They also have some Egyptian dishes, which I usually don't see often and are a treat. Lots of beans and lentils, which are a nice, healthy, and filling option if that's what you're looking for. read more

Falafel n Cafe, Little Pharoh and The Respectable Olive are all the same location with different price points on Uber Eats. I am stuck with an order because I thought it was a different restaurant and didn't think I had to do deep due diligence on a meal before ordering. If I wanted Falafel N Cafe, I'd order from you. Ghost kitchen or not, it's the same food with a different name. Very disappointing. Please explain how this business strategy and lack of transparency wins over repeat business for you. read more

I think this place was a very ok place to drop by and try if you are in the area. The food was good, but not yet to the point where it completely blows me away. I did enjoy the falafel. It was nice and crispy on the outside while maintaining that soft fluffiness on the inside. Pair that up with the tahini sauce and a side of spicy stewed eggplants and it was a solid platter. I also tried the Koshari since it is a dish that you don't find very often in the area. To me, it was a bit more bland than I expected. I found myself wishing that it was a bit more savory, or maybe a bit more garlicky. Something that would give it a more contrasting flavor to cut through the tomato sauce and the fried onions. Maybe I should have paired it with some kebabs for more contrast. However, I do have to say, I was very impressed by the portion size of the koshari. I was not expecting such a massive plate of food. It was so much food that I ended up having 2 meals out of it! Did this place blow me away? Not completely. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't come back to try some other items from the menu. Maybe some other things will blow me away, I just have to find it haha read more

Wanted to like this place...but it is so filthy dirty here! Did not look like they even tried to make the place look presentable. The food was filling but that's it. I liked the baba ghanouj the best, but I can make better falafel & pita at home. The owner told me everything is made in house, but the look & flavor of my food did not reflect that. read more

Excellent food Everything really fresh Michael is super caring Really enjoyed your food. Thank you read more

The guy who took our order and the lady who made our food looked at us like we didn't belong. They seemed annoyed. Then the guy who took our order was more pleasant with the man who ordered after us. With that, I decided not to worry too much but then we leave with our order and find out it was wrong. We ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap (even asked the guy about what kind of wrap it was) then we see that our chicken was on a dry hamburger bun. NOT in a wrap. What's crazy is, we were nothing but polite and they clearly didn't want us there. We will never go there again. As they wish. read more

Great food and service and extremely nice owners/employees. I wish this were closer to my house but I'll visit again when in the area and have encouraged friends close by to stop in. They have a Vegan menu which I ordered from and everything was seasoned beautifully- don't be afraid to order from it even if not vegan/veg, you won't miss the meat. read more

Chicken shawarma was more like stewed chicken with tomatoes and parsley. NO SPICES. The garlic paste was bad. As in went bad. The greek salad was just lettuce, some chopped up tomatoes, a couple slices of white onion and oil as a salad dressing. Biggest waste of money! Extremely disappointing and wil definitley be a one in done. read more

Actually quite a bit better than I thought it would be. Tried the chicken kebab and the chicken shawarma platters. Those bread dippers were fresh and toasty, rice was moist seasoned well, and chicken was full of flavor. It was a bit dryer than I'd like but taste was solid. I don't eat much Mediterranean food but this makes me want to try some other things from them. read more

Great place! Owner is super nice. Falafel burger is amazing! Love going here all the time.

***Nope - sadly, the ground (?) chicken wasn't good at all because it was really dry - you can tell in the pic. that it was fried to give it some golden color & actually, turned out to be burnt...The positives included diced tomatoes that gave it a natural acidic flavor paired w/fresh parsley & the rice wasn't bad - it was plentiful! The cucumbers were all slimy because they were bad & started to rot. The rest of the salad was good. Standard Italian dressing.*** The inside is legit a definition of a hole in a wall restaurant - no issues w/it at all - just wish the food turned out good! The Groupon soften the blow of the price plaid for this meal, so $6.75 instead of standard prices...For example, I can get Chinese takeout (Beef Broccoli) for $6.50 instead w/delish & tender beef - all of the food is edible & so good compared to this place! I know it's not the same cuisine, but value for money is much better...I went to Smashburger after to get a shake & burger to satisfy my hunger! read more

Was sick as a dog, ordered their mixed grill, I was cured within 24 hours! Reordering to truly bless myself. Now I'm not saying this restaurant's food cures cancer, however if I had cancer, this place would be my first choice read more

Absolutely atrocious - nothing is homemade or made with any one who knows flavor and presentation. I waited for an Uber delivery for this trash - quality is worse than Sysco delivery ingredients. I don't know how a place is called falafel and doesn't know how to make a proper flavorful fresh falafel. I got excited thinking they would know what's up because I saw Egyptian dishes on the menu. Wrong. Waste on my time and money. Heating up these basic falafel and fries to feed to my dog. The salad is what you see in a kid's cafeteria read more
