I didn't expect to find bold Mediterranean flavor tucked away in downtown Chambersburg, but Falafel Shack flipped the script on me--and I'm not mad about it. The place is cozy, like someone turned their living room into a street food haven. It's casual, vibrant, and smells like cumin, garlic, and magic. Staff was chill but attentive. You can tell they care about the food and the people eating it. That combo's rare. Final verdict: if you're anywhere within driving distance of Chambersburg and don't try this place, you're missing out. Hard. Go hungry, leave happy, and maybe get extra falafel to go--you'll thank yourself later read more

I love Falafel so anytime I get a chance to eat one I do. So the texture of this one was great. But the only thing that I didn't like was the taste. It seems to have a little bit of a pickled flavor to it. And I know there's a lot of different ways to make it. Me personal i just like it without the pickled flavor. The service was good and the atmosphere was inviting. read more

Good food and nice space and ambiance, it was especially nice and cool on a hot and humid late afternoon. As we started out sitting outside but moved inside due to heat. My hubby and I enjoyed falafel platter with pita, fatoosh salad with falafel and feta added with fries. The falafel had a great flavor as did the hummus, fries were thin but the dipping sauce was a good flavor, the salad was tasty esp with added ingredients. Would have loved a bit more hummus. Nice location. Good wait service. read more

Been here many times since 2022, nice place, good food, always has a good crowd, service is sometimes moody, Ike today for example. I generally order the same things here and in other similar places so I can easily compare any differences that may make one place better than another or not. Today I decided not to get the falafel platter sandwich and the other stuff I normally did because I didn't want a huge lunch. Instead I got just the "other stuff" (hummus, pita, tabouli) and just two a la carte falafel balls Instead of the 3 that would have been included with the platter which offers more volume of everything on the platter. That way I made my own falafel sandwich NYC style (which doesn't have pickle, etc. that this place includes for example). As usual all of the food I ordered was great. I also had the shorba soup, which is always fantastic here. My friend ordered the falafel burger and loved it. The price I moderate high on some items but not out of bounds. They make most if not all of their food in house, so it's fresh and good. The only downsides are the few wobbly tables making eating challenging, the rush of cold air that comes in every time the entrance door is opened or closed, and the sometimes moody or clueless server here or there. For example, both of us ordered hot tea because of it being rainy and cold outdoors and a little chilly indoors. We received the water and tea bags and found the tea never steped. Why? The water was warm at best. When we told the server she said it boiled. Maybe it did for a minute but it wasn't hot enough to step tea. We had to almost draw a picture that we want hot tea not ice tea in order for her to understand telling us it boiled once upon a time wasn't the answer or service we expected. I also specifically told the server when I ordered my meal I wanted the soup first then when I was done with it, I wanted the hummus, pita, falafel and tabouli. She asked me the question if I wanted just the soup first. I said yes. Instead I received the entire meal at the same time, which means either the hot stuff gets cold or the col stuff gets hot. Neither works well for me and also increases, albeit slightly, the risk of foodborne illness. I emphasized to the server I specifically asked for the soup first then the rest late. Instead of doing something about it, the server simply said, "that's the way I put the order in." I'm unsure what that meant precisely. Did she put it in the way I asked or did she put it in so it all came out together? Overall I highly recommend this establishment. read more

First, a disclaimer: I used to live here... In fact, the last year I lived here I lived 2 1/2 blocks from this place. We were one of the first patrons when they opened the brick & mortar location several years ago. So I may be biased, but having been clear across the country 3 times now I can HONESTLY say this is hands-down the BEST Middle Eastern food (dare I say of ALL ethnic food eateries? ) I've ever had. Ever. They cater to allergens, including gluten-free and vegan. The staff is always responsive, and if you eat there often they get to know your favorites. Their specials are ALWAYS delicious. I used to tell people who asked me what to get there, "Open the menu, close your eyes, and point." Because you really can't go wrong and you must eat here often enough to try all the things! I also love having seen how their place has grown. Their tables have the logo engraved on them now, which is added fun. They feature a rotation of local art on the walls, which you can take home with you by scanning the QR code and buying it right online... and their tech is a lot more efficient with hand-held ordering devices that can take payment right at the table (this was a necessary upgrade with how busy they can get). If you plan to eat on a weekend, I highly recommend reservations or you may end up waiting a while. And if you have a big group or want to do a special event, their upstairs room is ADORABLE and perfect for small or large private parties! Oh and they'll also cater your event. So get yourself there and try them - they're the bright spot in middle-of-nowhere Chambersburg! You can thank me later. read more

Because of the Falafel Shack, I often go out of my way to pass through Chambersburg on my way to other destinations. FYI: Chambersburg isn't really on the way to anything for me.... That should tell you something about this place. My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken shawarma wrap. It's delicious! But, I beg of you Falafel Shack, PLEASE stop wrapping this with a thin sheet of brown paper... WHY do you do this? It makes no sense that I have to dismantle my wrap to take off the sticky soggy paper. Do you know how much of that paper I've accidentally eaten. My other favorite simple item is the babaganoush. It has a wonderful smoky flavor that lingers in your mouth.. This place is a lucky find!! read more

The falafel is tasty. A bit too salty but still very good. The pita is amazing. I also had the kefta kebab and it was tasty as well. The prices are decent. It'll sound inexpensive $7 a falafel sandwich, but it's a fairly small sandwich. The location is great. As for the service, I did take out, but I can tell this place has an amazing service. While I was sitting outside, the owner asked me if I want water. That shows that he wants to make sure his customers are satisfied. Unfortunately I do not live close by, so I'll not go back. This place is highly recommended read more

Very nice freshly made pita. Enjoyed the hummus, which is spicy. Falafel was quite good. You are better off ordering the sandwiches and smaller bites. The main entrees are really not that large, and I found some of their food to be on the expensive side for what you get. You have to chose wisely. Overall it was a delicious place to grab a light dinner in PA. Very popular. Nice people working there. I would go back, being a little more selective on what I ordered. read more

Dinner 10/18 party of two. Liked the place. But, $25 for their take on "Butter Chicken?" Don't think so. Came in a small pot. Not much to it. Hummus app was great. No doubt lots of attention and care goes into their food prep. Nevertheless, I should've ordered a falafel bowl or roll. Stick to the basics here, in my opinion, and you won't go wrong. read more

Wow... my wife and I decided to lunch at the Falafel Shack today. The restaurant was packed and so we had the opportunity to sit upstairs. It is a delightful and colorful space. The restaurant is located downtown and so there's plenty of parking. The restrooms are clean as well. In the warmer weather, there is outside seating on the square in Chambersburg. Our service was prompt, and our waitress was courteous. I had the beef kafta platter with a side of Falafel Shack fries. I had a bite of my wife's Bosnian Beed pizza. Both of our meals were tasty. Our food arrived promptly, and was wonderfully cooked and presented. I must admit... I had a little bit of food envy when the gentleman at the next table received his platter of lamb kebabs. That will be my choice when I return. This is a great local restaurant with comfortable ambience and attentive staff. read more

Awesome little spot with great food. The place was packed for lunch rush on Saturday until 2. We had one of the specials (forgot the name but see pic), the beef kafta sandwich, kids cheese pita pizza, the falafel guys fries, and finished with a slice of chocolate vegan cake. The entrees and fries were all very well made and flavorful with reasonable portions. The kafta was particularly delicious, to include their green sauce. The pizza had a bit of a different taste that was definitely on the sweeter side, but seemed to fit with the flavor profile of other dishes. I can imagine that some kids would be turned off because it's definitely not the exact flavor you would normally expect of a pizza. That said, it was still good. The big surprise was the vegan chocolate cake. No one in my family is vegan, but we are chocolate lovers. Unfortunately, the non-vegan version had a coffee icing so the kids wouldn't have gone for that. This cake was surprisingly great. Not too rich or sweet, not overly moist. I have to imagine that this is exceptional for a vegan cake. The service was very friendly albeit a bit slow. I suspect that's due to how busy they were. One thing to note for parents is that if your kids want milk, each refill will cost you. Overall, can't wait to go back again and try more items from their menu! read more

I recently moved to PA from Portland Oregon where it seems that Yelp is more often relied upon to find businesses. Since most places here seem only to have a few reviews each, I thought I would make it a personal project to review each place I try to help fellow travelers in their searches. This place is delicious! Defiantly make it a point to have a meal here. The hours on Yelp weren't up to date when we went (Yelp said they were closed and they weren't, we were happily surprised.) We ordered: Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Falafel Guy Fries (fine tasting, but very small serving, like 1/4 cup for $5) Fatoosh Salad Chopped Salad Pakoras The take away: The ingredients are high quality (a lot of local produce, grass-fed beef,) everything was super fresh and we left satisfied without being overly full. We will definitely be going back there to try the rest of the menu. Also, everyone I have met here is super nice, it's the kind of place you want to return to again and again. read more

Good food! Relaxing atmosphere! What a nice oasis in hectic Breezewood!…read more We were skeptical to try this place. It just seemed unlikely we would find "real" food in this Pennsylvania pretzel-like junction between I-70 and the PA Turnpike filled with a collection of gas stations and fast food called Breezewood. And then there's Moe's Sultan Food restaurant! It serves really delicious freshly-made food from a vast menu, with European and Mid-eastern dishes alongside all-day breakfast and some standard American burgers and fries and soup and salad, and even some vegan selections! We had $6 delicious hot borscht, a classic bright-red Ukranian tomato-beet soup of potatoes and shredded cabbage and carrots, deliciously seasoned with onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. It was a chilly day (Dec 2025), and this light broth with hearty vegetables was the perfect meal. It came with a large warm fresh pita bread. We also got a cute little $3 pot of steeping Baghdad tea with cardamom, the very definition of cozy :-) We had a huge $10 wrap of freshly mixed freshly fried chickpea falafel, lightly crispy outside, tender and moist inside. The wrap was stuffed with veggies and a deliciously creamy tahini sauce. It was so large that we only finish half here, and carried the rest along for a later snack. This was better-made falafel than most restaurants near home, and I think that's because it is literally made fresh when you order it. This is a somewhat time-worn restaurant with seating for 50 in simple comfortable booths. They cleverly shade the windows with bright colorful screen-prints that, on the i side, present international views that are illuminated by sunlight through the windows, but completely screen you from the stream of vehicles and the landscape of gas stations. The counter where you pay has many packaged foods, including regular snacks and some international ones. Mara and a table-server made us feel welcome. For us it was a 30-min stop, because each item was made-to-order. When we want to relax a few minutes with really good food, this is now our go-to in Breezewood. Delicious and peaceful.

Here at this mall location the sauce bottles are just sitting around on the countertop under bright lights. Aside from the questionable squeeze bottle temperatures, the quality of the food is great. Unfortunately, the collective attitude of the staff is never good. It's always off, and leans towards "grumpy" every time. I wonder what the reason is for this.

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. .

The shop has a couple of tables inside and there's a terrace right outside with tables, as well as picnic tables further back.

I do vegan Mondays, and was able to order a pita with falafel with several veggie toppings and sauces. It was DELICIOUS and filling.

When I first entered the Falafel Inc. establishment my nostrils were filled with the sweet aroma of…read morefresh falafel and zaatar. 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!

Very kind people. Thursday I had a delicious quinoa salad bowl with tender grilled chicken it was so good that I went back Friday and had it again and added Mo's special to my order. It was a delicious wrap with steak, hummus, pickles etc . It was fantastic. I am gluten free, the wrap was made of sun dried tomato and something else. I cant recall what , but it was delicious. I have enjoyed every meal I have ever tried. If you like great fresh healthy food with a warm environment District Falafel is the place !! Nef

I LOVE falafel! Because I just absolutely love falafel so much, I know falafel! I eat it everywhere…read moreI can -- and can safely say this is the BEST! It's accessible with plenty of parking nearby, including several disabled parking spots right out front, is absolutely beautiful inside with stunning black-and-white tiles adorning the counter (where you can order -- although there is also a screen-type ordering system in the entryway, as well) wall, enticing photos of all the important things in life -- those being fresh figs, olives, spices, and unfiltered coffee being poured, all along the wall above the tables with most comfortable seating! There are Turkish plates and copper pots hung above, as well, to give a splendid feeling of how food can be heartily prepared and beautifully served -- and beautifully served it is here! The caffeine-free mint tea comes in a gorgeous metal pot and is drunk from a glass glass (meaning a glass made of glass, not ceramic) with eye-catching decorations that will help to bring you into the spirit of the meal you are about to have .... The Quinoa Tabouli Salad with Falafel is spectacular! It's standout amazing, delicious, refreshingly oh-so-fresh, crispy, crunchy, yummy -- how many good-to-great things can I say about it? If I keep complimenting it as much as it deserves, you might get bored, ha ha! You might think that I'm exaggerating. I'm not. Of course, it's possible I'm biased and have tastes that just happen to align with this particular falafel spot's way of preparing things -- but I think not! I think this is objectively over-the-top in greatness! The District Salad is equally splendiferous and worth your time to indulge in savouring every bite. There are so many great-looking things here I can't wait to try! I must taste the Shorbat Adas (puréed lentil soup), (non-quinoa) Tabouli, Toom, and many other things here! The variety is very wowing! Most places just don't give you this variety in terms of various dishes or the variety within each dish that this place does -- and that contributes greatly to not only your appetite but also your health. So much care is clearly put into everything here from the décor to the drinks to the hospitality. It's really like a mini, super-tasty trip to the Near East -- and welcomes everyone equally. I'm so glad I stopped in! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommended! Very much deserving of an absolute, all-around Yay! :-D (By the way, from a not-falafel fan I know: 'You know I'm not a fan of falafel, but that was really good -- everything! We need not ever go back to the other place -- even if it's free!' What better endorsement could there be?)
