Our favorite! We've been going here for over a year. It's the best local spot hands down. Hidden gem. Love it and love them soooo much! Fresh and always delish. read more

Tried it out while I was in town and it was decent. Food was tasty, but hummus was spicier than usual. Ladies in the back running the shop were nice and prompt cooking and ringing up while one of their sons served the food and picked up dishes after. Place was a bit small, but food was great. read more

Falafel Queen - Chicken shawarma with rice and hummus - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

for starters, upon arrival we were told that we shouldn't order through a delivery service again because it charges the business, unprofessional to bring up to a customer. Then comes the food... Completely bland, little to no flavor besides greasy vegetables and garlic. Beef kebab was unseasoned and tough, hummus wasn't even as good as walmart brand, tabbouli genuinely had no flavor whatsoever. grape leaves were the worst and greasiest i've ever had. Chicken Shawarma sandwich came with no hummus that i paid extra for and came in a shambolic state. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

Some times it's good sometimes it isn't. The lunch specials are good though and decent pricing.

Great middle eastern food. I had the chicken Sherman wrap and it was great. I didn't see Kibbe on the menu but asked and the lady with a big smile asked how many pieces. I said two and got kibbe. My friend had the sampler plate. It was good oh and there hummus very good also. Hidden gem kinda small but good. And very friendly definitely family owned. read more

Falafel Queen - Kitchen - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

This meal was DELISH!!! They cooked the food right in front of me with fresh ingredients, and this meal was as healthy as it was filling. The owners of the restaurant could not have been kinder, and the service was quick and friendly. The chicken was seasoned well along with the veggies and rice, and the hummus and garlic paste were bursting with flavor, and the pita bread which was served with the meal complimented all the bold flavors perfectly. The interior of the restaurant was authentic and charming and I truly felt relaxed and at home. I plan to go back SOON!!! Great meal. Great spot. (Also, there is a discount offered for those who pay in cash.) read more

Falafel Queen - Chicken Kabob Platter - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Fine Lebanese food. Small store, been here for decades! Plain jane ambiance, but so irrelevant. Plenty of parking. Great location (Alachua Street). Staff is family. Family is staff. *Thank your Chef* Going back! read more

Food is hit or miss. Went in once for lunch and ordered the chicken shawarma. Thought it was very good. Ordered more food for dinner through door dash another time and we were very disappointed. Chicken and beef in the dishes were dry and the flavor was off. Dolmades were good. Maybe it's a matter of having the food made to order and eating at the restaurant? Don't know. read more

Food was amazing! We loved everything we ate. Beef kebabs were my favorite. The falafel was delicious. We will definitely come back to enjoy this great Lebanese cuisine. read more

Tasty family owned restaurant, great service and conversation from the staff. Got the gyro combo and a side of grape leaves and all the food was delicious, generously portioned, and super fresh.

Excellent food. I love Lebanese food.. this was so fresh and delicious. The perfect surprise as the strip mall stops can be hit or miss.. This one was a hit! No frills. Just really good fresh authentic food! read more

Everything we tried was fantastic. Chicken kabobs, falafel, all great. The hummus is probably the best I've ever tried. The garlic sauce that comes with some of the dishes is addictive as well. read more

I am so happy I came across this place! I was in St. Augustine visiting the cat cafe and I wanted to pick up something for lunch. I chose the falafel salad and it was amazing! The falafel was perfectly cooked and I loved it with the salad and dressing. If you are in the area, stop in! read more

First time here. Really delish falafel and make sure you get the garlic paste! My husband got the chicken shawarma and loved it. It is a great topping for any wrap. The ladies who run this are so sweet and make the food to order. There are only a few tables I hit two are outside. Plenty of locals come here as well on a regular so it must be consistently gods. read more

This is a real gem. Go and sit in grandmas kitchen and wait for them to cook your favorite dish. One of the best if not the best Mediterranean food place. read more

Hole in the wall vibes and AMAZING food. Those looking for plant based / vegan options can come here! Look no further for the BEST falafel in the St Aug region! read more

Awesome! The food was delicious and I will be returning! I will NEVER USE THE YELP ONLINE ORDERING! Grub hub rips off businesses. Call your order in. Really nice couple that owns the shop, very personable. I got the Falafel salad Yummy! Falafels were tasty and not dry. I know my falafels and this place knows falafels, done right ! I got a baklava square, a tasty two biter for two dollars, wrapped up and chilled, was delicious with my coffee after the salad. read more

I've had lots of good Middle Eastern and Falafel Queen is up there. Most of the food here is made from scratch. Family owned business with Lebanese cook Ava and her husband Bob. Cozy restaurant with a few tables and stools. I had a little of everything- grilled chicken and beef kabob, falafel, hummus and their fava bean dish, all flavorful. Also, the prices are great for the quality of the food. read more

Falafel Queen - The vegetarian platter with hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel grape leaves and tabbouleh. - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

See all

Upon entering we were greeted right away with a smile. The place is small and the decor could be updated but that is not a complaint just an observation. I had the falafel salad and a side of hummus served with bread. The bread was great, the hummus had too much garlic for me though. My salad was good also, and the falafel was cooked perfectly. My only complaint on the salad would be I wish they would have asked if I wanted the tahini sauce on the side, I wasn't a fan of the sauce. Would recommend trying the falafel. read more

Good service and great food.. prices reasonable i really like this place .. local gem

The restaurant is dirty, with bottles and cans stored all over the floor. They are rude and the food is not good at all. Mediterranean food is my primary diet, and to me the food was oddly flavored. The gyro meat is thin and tastes fake. I was not impressed with the owners attitude as it appeared we had bothered them while they were sitting down eating. Won't be returning here. read more

I love falafel queen! the owners are always soo nice. they are very accommodating to vegans as well. and best of all, the take out orders are always done speedy quick! read more

Friendly family-owned restaurant. Good food. Very good prices. If we were local, this would be our go to place for take out or a family dine out. Definitely recommend! read more

Not bad not great. We had them cater an affair for us for about 12 people and we pretty much left it up to the owner to pick out our servings. Pleasant person but I was a little surprised that much of the food is cooked independently by a third party, not that that's bad, but we didn't get the entire amounts we had bargained for and paid because the cook did not have enough food prepared. On another note what was delivered was above average and delicious and their single dishes for individuals is worthy of 5 stars cause it looked good and plentiful. read more

If you are not eating here, you are missing some AMAZING food. This place is a little hidden in the Metro Diner shopping center, but well worth the find. read more

Falafel Queen - Chicken Kabobs with hummus - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Went to falafel queen when the siren song of Arabic food called to me. As a dc transplant I'm used to very good arabic food and lamented the lack of offerings in the St. Augustine area. I was not disappointed at falafel queen! Had the veggie plate which included a few types of salads, spreads, falafel and pita bread. The food was fantastic and the owner and her family were welcoming and friendly. Food came out promptly, fresh and hot. The falafel was amazing and the baba ganoush was the best I've ever had. Highly recommend a stop in to falafel queen the next time you need a delicious, affordable meal. read more

Falafel Queen - Vegetable Platter with hummus Baba Ghanouj and falafel - Falafel Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Had a late lunch and food was good. It's a small establishment, ambience was okay for the size of business. The owners were busy preparing a catering order when we arrived but in spite of that, service was still acceptable. Our food order was served at a reasonable time. It was delicious Mediterranean food. read more

This place is absolutely DELICIOUS!! The woman at the counter and man on the grill were so nice, and the inside + the food made it feel like eating at my lebanese grandmother's house. The chicken kebab platter, tabouleh, kefta, and stuffed grape leaves were INCREDIBLE. You won't regret coming here!! :) read more

Great place to get a great falafel sandwich. Tight space but everyone in the place seemed grateful we stopped by. All the food was delicious and we ended up buying stuff from the store section. They have a nut and honey mix that is great. We've been eating it on bagels and it's great. We will be back! read more

Authentic delicious food, is a hidden gem. Enjoying a nice Gyro with french fries. Multiple choices for drinks. We enjoyed our lunch.

The falafel and kafta sandwich are delicious. I also love their baba ganoush. The owners and staff are very polite and helpful.

Gluten Free! Awesome food!! Little mom and pop place in St. Augustine. Great job on to go orders also. Not a lot of seating available.

They make a chicken shawarma that you will dream about for weeks! So delicious! So clean! So friendly! Only downfall..... They aren't downtown as they should be read more

Always a very good provider of service and delicious food not overly expensive and we come here a lot

Delicious. Seriously authentic Lebanese food. The Queen and what I would think was her husband gave us a meal for my husband, Chris's, birthday. It's his favorite food and he was in his glory eating every single bite. The kafta was moist and flavorful! Baba ghanouj which is my favorite was spectacular. Chris even liked it and it's not his favorite. Freshly made Foule Mudamaas was made for him and the Queen gave us more to take home. The service family oriented and very friendly. Nothing about this place was average. It's the real deal! Yeah yeah we will be coming back. We ate it all before I thought to take photos. If you are thinking about coming stop thinking and just get here already. You will not be disappointed. read more

Small restaurant almost hidden by all the bigger stores nearby. My husband and I were glad we found it. We shared an order of the vegetable platter with a side of French fries. Talk about delicious! Thought my husband was going to lick the plate clean. The lady taking orders also made all the food too. Thought she did an excellent job balancing taking orders, answering the phone, cooking the food and handing them out, and running the cash register too. Very friendly service and oh so delicious food! We'd come back for more if we're in the area again. read more
