I looked up at the menu and to my surprise the prices of the food options were quite affordable. I opted to go with the falafel bowl and m'lady went with the falafel sandwich, which were both under $10 each! We also split a healthy sized bag of zaatar fries and I could not resist getting their baklava. The food service was very quick and the employees were very friendly. After obtaining our food we went to their outdoor eating area where we stood and prepared ourselves to feast. Both the falafel sandwich and bowl were filled to the brim with falafel, cabbage, pickles, tomatoes, cucumber, and a substantial serving of tahini. We also had the privilege of being able to help ourselves to extra sauces, which included garlic sauce (toum), red sauce, white sauce, habibi sauce, and more tahini. After taking a few bites of the food, we knew we had made a great decision coming to this location. Dipping the zaatar fries into the garlic sauce became second nature, as the combination was truly delicious. The cherry on the top was their baklava that came in a small, sliding cardboard box. The baklava was not overly sweet and perfectly complemented the savory falafel dishes. I highly recommend coming here for an affordable and delicious meal!

Appreciate you can try different sauces to dip your fries or add to your sandwich or bowls. Only reason they didn't get a 5 star on this last visit was how long it took to get our order. It was a Saturday night, so we did mobile ordering and pickup. It said it would be ready within 3-15 minutes. I arrived 12 min after our order was placed. They were quite busy - and seemed the two employees working were a bit overwhelmed. There were a few people waiting for food, a line to order, they were out of containers for sauces, and some of the sauces were empty. I ended up waiting for an extra 25 minutes until I asked to check on an order - it was apparent from their reaction, our order got lost in the shuffle. Once they realized, they made it right away, which was appreciated. However, they grabbed a bag of fries that had been sitting on the counter since I walked in - so they were cold. Good thing - they do great in the air fryer! I've never experienced these issues before and it won't stop me from returning, definitely felt like a bit of an off night for them. Solid food, great cause, and one of the best affordable options for a quick bite at the Wharf! Recommend them!

The place was bustling on a Saturday afternoon. I stopped by for a falafel sandwich, falafel bowl,…read moreand fries...and I was blown away. Here's why: - Quality: every item was fresh, and the falafel was not dry! I usually don't opt for falafel bc of how dry it is, but this one really wasn't! It was filling but moist and delicious. Also, the veggies and sauces paired well to give it flavor and texture. Again, usually not a fan of falafel, but I was this time. - Service: Food was pretty quick and the staff were really kind considering how busy the shop was. It took about 10 minutes to get the food. - Ambiance: This is a grab and go place. They have some high tables to quickly scarf down your meal or package your to go bag, but I suggest walking around Georgetown area to eat your food elsewhere. I will absolutely visit again and bring vegetarian friends. Such a bang for your buck!

I arrived just before closing, and the owner was gracious enough to accommodate me, which I…read moreappreciated. I feel bad writing this but I believe Writing Authentic and honest review may inspire the owner to level up his food . That said, the food quality did not meet expectations. The falafel was overly firm and dry. The Greek salad lacked freshness--the lettuce appeared past its prime, and the tomatoes were soft and aging. Overall, it felt like a basic tossed salad with feta rather than a well-composed dish. The hummus had a smooth texture, but the flavor suggested a blended oil rather than a clean extra virgin olive oil profile. The pita was the strongest element of the meal--fresh and well prepared. Additionally, the use of styrofoam containers detracted from the overall experience. In summary, while the service at closing was considerate, the food did not reflect what I would consider high-quality or authentic Greek cuisine. .

They make and fry the falafel right in front of you and make everything to order. Love the sauce bar that you can grab from and they have all of the different flavors you need right there.

They do have a kiosk for you to order from. Ambiance In Western Market so no assigned seating, but might be the easiest location to sit down at because it is a food hall.

I was really excited and ordered the falafel sandwich and bowl to go. My husband waited outside with the pup, both looking at me with those puppy eyes wanting to come indoors for some warmth. Anyway it was worth the wait. We came home and devoured our fries and falafel while watching a movie. The sauces are all amazing. If you like spice, the green sauce was a kicker. The Habibi sauce and white sauce are good for "lathering" your falafels without feeling the fire.

I love supporting small businesses and find it difficult to not write a 5 star review. But I have…read moreto share that my most recent visit was not the greatest. Some of this review is based just on the limitations of the space, but also it's based on the food. First, full disclosure, I came here as a guest with Yelp Elite. I was able to get 2 falafels and fries. There seemed to be a lot of confusion at first about this but it was eventually worked out. I think what I found the most frustrating about the experience was a mixture of the incredibly long wait for the food and the lack of seating. I came here with my family before Zoo Lights. There were 4 hightop stools inside and that was it. The temperature outside was freezing so it was a fight to find any spots. Also, the sauces were stacked on the high top seating, which made it incredibly awkward whenever any other guest came in and tried to get the sauces as we sat there. But the wait is what really frustrated me. It took over 20 minutes to get our food. This spot has the feel of a quick grab and go. I'm not exactly sure what took so long. Maybe the fries? Speaking of the fries, they were fresh but the seasoning was a little too much for my taste. Falafel is a difficult sandwich to perfect. This one fell into the camp of falafel that I don't love -- overly dry and a little oily at once. On a positive note, I liked the variety sauces available. One other thing - there should be a garbage can inside. My kids kept spilling things and I had to constantly wipe it up. I found it odd that there was no garbage can inside the restaurant and the only way I could throw anything out was by going outside and throwing things away in the public garbage can. I appreciated the free falafel as part of Yelp Elite. However, I'm not sure I'll be rushing back here given the issues. Maybe it's a better spot during the warm months as they have more outside seating.

They were a few left, so we got an orange blossom oat toffee cookie. It was perfectly balanced with floral notes, tanginess from the orange, and caramel-y sweetness from the toffee. We also appreciated the lattes: halawa honey and baklawa mocha. Never thought to add tahini to my coffee (halawa) and the rose and orange blossom notes were nice touches to the baklawa mocha. You may add sweetener yourself to get it to your preferred level of sweetness. I definitely would love to come back, particularly early, to be able to sit down, relax, and have a slow meal with a latte and a book. (That and to see more variety at the pastry window!!)

Just going to re emphasize that the food is absolutely incredible, packed with flavors and just…read moremade perfectly. It's truly some of the best most flavorful food you can get. Quality of food (and drink) wise, there's truly no notes, from the pitas to pastries and coffee. Now that does not mean there are no notes. Firstly, pricing, coffee and pastry is fair but the sandwiches, $20+ for half a pita is absurd, not even getting both halves of the pita. And then the experience is just so frustrating, there is absolutely no flow of people. The space itself is well curated and has some great seating available, but due to how crowded it gets, it's a truly horrendous experience at times. And while I would say they could have a cap on how many people are allowed inside at once i feel that's a semi unrealistic implementation (though i genuinely wonder if they're over capacity at times). A bit easier to address would be the flow. They have an enter and exit door, but folk keep ignoring the signs, idk how but come on this needs to be fixed. It also does not help that the exit door opens inwards into the crowded restaurant so it's at times nearly impossible to open the door as there's a crowd or even a table and chairs in the way. They're fairly efficient in making the food but there's still a bit of a wait, and the space to wait is not very large despite the constant flow of people so there's always a large mob, and many have to wait awkwardly in between tables and seated customers. Drinks are served and called out separately from food, which makes sense; and they're given without kids so you can add things, also logical. However, the sugar, syrups, milk, and lids and all on the other counter, so you have to cross the counter where food is being picked up and through the mob in order to get to a lid, just praying that you don't get bumped and spill. The food and drink are fantastic, though overpriced for the portions. But something needs to be done about the experience , whether it's the layout, workflow, capacity, whatever, something needs to happen. I mean i will probably go back but I'd recommend getting it as takeout so you can actually enjoy the food, but i cannot say it's an enjoyable experience inside.
