    Falafel Bowl
    Taylor L.

    Falafel on Wheels is a dream! As an almost completely vegan institution (besides, I think, the hard boiled egg which can be added to/removed from the sabich), I had a field day with my order, opting to try the falafel bowl, falafel pita and sabich pita. Knowing that their focus is on their falafel I expected it to be good, but I didn't expect to be as wowed as I was! My falafel bowl came out first (super fast, might I add) and I went straight to dipping the falafel in their house garlic sauce-- it was the perfect snack. Although by the time the pita's were served I had already filled myself up on the falafel bowl, I still greatly enjoyed the unique flavors of both. The sabich pita relies primarily on the smokiness of the eggplant for it's flavor, whereas the falafel pita sees the addition of tomtato, cucumber, cabbage and tahini which greatly compliments the creamy, nutty texture of the falafel. The dishes at Falafel on Wheels are so hearty that it doesn't take long to feel satisfied, so I brought my entrees home for my friends to help me finish. Although Falafel on Wheels is a food truck I was lucky enough to score one of the tiny tables they place along the sidewalk, and I enjoyed watching other patrons stop by to chat with the business owners. It's clear that this spot has become a valley institution! Even though they aren't a brick-and-mortar, Falafel on Wheels still has a sense of community you might not expect from a food truck. Because the truck is stationed alongside the Bevmo parking lot there is plenty of parking, which means you have no excuse to not stop by! It's a stress free experience that's sure to satisfy.

    Falafel - not spicy.

    I love this place. I used to work pretty close and it was an easy lunch for me during the week. I would go at least once a week. Now I'm further into Studio City but will still make the drive when I have a longer break. Not nearly enough falafel for me these days. I miss them! Always made fresh when I order. Always super kind to me. I've been to the new location once so far but same great food so yay! Need to go back soon *drool*.

    Almost fully vegan food truck (except for egg)

    Awesome, fully vegetarian food truck! The falafels were exceptionally fresh and tasty. Got the falafel pita sandwich along with fried eggplant added -- it was delicious. This was the chef's suggestion when I explained that I wanted Sabich but without the egg... so he suggested getting the falafel pita with eggplant. Super helpful in making it vegan. Also I wanted 4 extra falafels for my toddler and the owner very kindly accommodated that and charged accordingly (as opposed to $6 for 6 falafels). It's a small and unassuming food truck, but mighty tasty and customer-friendly.

    The food looks delicious!! I totally recommend eating here, 10 out of 10

    Oh my God! If you want a taste of Israel right by you, this is the place to have falafel. This is the closest falafel I have come to Israel. It is the most delicious colossal by far and the owner and assistant are super super sweet the price dirt cheap! Yummmmy!!! Coming back like 100 times more! Amazing

    I had the Falafel Bowl and it was very tasty. I like the crispy texture on the outside and the softness inside. They tasted great. The salad that it came with was super tasty. They do offer a variety of drinks for your choosing. I would eat here again.

    The guys rock. Fantastic food, fair prices, and the two guys behind the windows are very nice and friendly. If you're going out for felafel you cannot do better than this. Yes, it takes a little while. Sure. Relax, it's totally worth it.

Killer Kabab (fast food mediterranean) has two locations, with the other being in the Sawtelle area near West LA. There are multiple Kabab shops near the hotel that we were staying, so chose the closest one. It wasn't too busy inside, with plenty of seating so placed our order and paid through the kiosk. The food took a bit of time to come out, delivered to our table. No soda fountain, so got a can of soda ($1.99) which you pick up yourself from the nearby bev fridge. We shared a Mix Grill plate ($21.95), consisting of a variety of things, all of which we enjoyed. The bed of tumeric rice was well cooked. The beef fillet, chicken breast chunks, and the beef kofta were all excellent: very tender, well seasoned, and well grilled. A few grilled vegetables were added, along with a really good plain hummus and pita braed. It also came with two side dips/pastes: a really good garlic paste that went great with the grilled beef and a yellow 'buttery' sauce that was great with the chicken. It also came with a small side salad, and some really tart pepperoncini. All of this added to a good light(er) meal, mixing various tastes and textures really well.

I finally went in today and sadly, was not only disappointed, my fantasy of Falafel King was destroyed forever. I know Benito used to work for Falafel King, but this place is nothing like it. The service was horrible. The guy behind the little counter was not nice at all. In fact he was rude. And didn't like if you asked him questions. But that aside, sitting in this little tiny restaurant was not a good feeling. We were the only ones there. They have a seating area outside, I'm guessing for overflow - yet, the table and chairs were right there in the middle of the restaurant. Piled up. They didn't even bother to take it outside. Put all that aside - we get to the food. One of the best things Falafel King has were the "chips", which were battered slices of potatoes that were deep fried. These were slices of potato, they were potato chips. Thin. No "meat" on them, if you know what I mean. And sadly, they were fried either early this morning or last night. Terrible, cold, hard, no taste - not even salt. We move on the falafel - which tasted good. The taste of the falafel itself was good, but the oil dripping down my hand an face was not. I blame that on the oil not being hot enough when he put the falafel into the oil. Next, the actual shwarma is not really shwarma (like you all know it). There was no revolving slab of meat where the fat melts into the meat and makes it so so special. No. This was a little baggy of already cooked meat with no spices on it thrown on the plancha and heated up. Hard and tasteless. Very disappointing. I picked it out of my pita and ate the salad with tehina and spicy eggplant (which WAS tasty). The pita is also a thin hard pita - not the nice fluffy type. I didn't finish my food, and my friend didn't finish the food, as you can see in the pictures. Sorry to give it a 1 - but to say you have ANY connection to "Falafel King" is a disgrace. Sorry if I sound brutal. I tell it like it is.

The plates also came with hummus topped with whole chickpeas (YUM), dilled rice, a cabbage salad and other greens, grilled pita bread, olives and my personal favorite, pickled radishes. Many reviews describe them as beets (which I also love) but these are radishes and they pair so well with the rich meat. An umami bomb!

We ordered 3 sandwiches and only got 2. After waiting 20 minutes for the missing sandwich, I asked to cancel it since everyone was already done eating. Instead of apologizing, the staff started lecturing us and asking if we owned a restaurant because they don't apparently bring the whole order together, which makes no sense. You don't halfa$$ an order when you're serving sandwiches... argued about refund and refused to process it Yes, mistakes happen. But when customers are doing the cleaning, teaching themselves how to order, and still not getting their food, that's not a mistake--it's terrible management. Poor cleanliness, awful service, and zero accountability. Avoid this place.
