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

When my sister told me that we were driving an hour to get lunch I wasn't sure if the trip was going to be worth it but boy was I wrong! everything was so good we got the garlic hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel sandwich, shawarma sandwich and Persian love cake. Everyone was amazing! The restaurant cool, a little small but cozy and has street parking.

It was a delicious experience, the lamb kabob is tasty. The establishment is a bit small but they have seating downstairs and upstairs.

Amazing food and hospitality. We stopped in for the pizza and ended up ordering half of the menu.

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.

House soup - Shorba. The pita is NOT GF (this was hub's). The Shorba is GF and delicious!

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.

We stopped here for lunch on the way through on our way down 81 from New York to North Carolina. It's an inviting place. I had the beef kafta sandwich, my wife had the Batinjan salad sandwich and our son had the Chicken Shawarma sandwich. The beef is locally sourced and organic. Everything tasted terrific, and we shared a piece of Persian love cake for dessert which was a terrific finish. This place is WELL worth the five minutes' drive past all the chain restaurants near the interstate. read more

Went there for lunch today the food was amazing. The chai tea warmed me from the inside out. For an appitizer we had roasted brussel sprouts with turkey bacon and yogurt sauce they garished it with sumac powder and pomegranate seeds which really added to the wow of the dish. For our main dish I had the chicken shwarma platter very tasty with fresh made pita. My daughter had a spicy falafel wrap which she loved as well. It is great to have a place like this in town locally own to bring some great food to the area and utilizing local sustainable sources as well at ab affordable price. We will be back for more :) read more

OMG...this place is FANTASTIC! I saw all the reviews on Yelp and we decided to give it a try. I had the Shawarma wrap...so dang tasty. The picked veg on it makes it perfect. We split the Falafel Guy fries (definitely enough for 2), and they were so good, the garlic dipping sauce was delicious! Co worker had the Shawarma platter, and he really liked it as well. He is a big eater, and he was struggling to finish it because of the amount of food (he did though!). He also had the Bosnian coffee, which he was a little skeptical of initially, but truly enjoyed it. You have to try this place, highly recommend. read more

The food here is fantastic and the staff is always super friendly. I love their falafel sandwich. It pains me to drop my rating down to three stars due to the speed of service. For the positive reasons listed above, they always have a packed dining room for lunch. That's great, but it makes it difficult to enjoy a meal when you are on a time crunch. On my most recent visit, I waited almost 40 minutes for my sandwich to arrive. I ended up taking it to-go since I had to be back at work. I have tried a few different ways to minimize the wait. I have tried calling ahead but I was put on hold for longer than necessary. I successfully ordered online through Grubhub once, but other times I was still waiting 20 minutes or so past the promised time. It's a bummer, since this restaurant is only 5 minutes away from my office-but trying to squeeze a visit on my lunch hour is no longer practical. With that said, please don't let my honest feedback turn you off to this place completely. I will happily return-just not on a work day or when i am on a tight schedule. read more

We love Falafel Shack. It makes me sad when I come across anyone who shoots it down because they have never had this kind of food. Everything I have eaten here has been delicious. The chicken shawarma pizza is a favorite and so is the cardamom cake with coffee icing. Also the spicy falafel bowl is a great introduction, local mixed baby lettuces, falafel balls, and a delicious dressing. We are on a mission to try everything there and there is not one thing we weren't excited about afterwards. Also, the energy here is amazing and so are the committed staff. Did I mention the house made pita? My bad. Go here! Give it a shot. If you aren't familiar with the food, ask questions. Now I am craving it..... read more

My first time trying them today. Had chicken shwarma which came with a side of Pita, chana masala( chick pea curry), some rice and caramalized onions. Everything was perfect. Chana was perfectly seasoned- not too bland and not too spicy.It might have been the best I have ever had. Pita bread was soft and fresh. Chicken was well done and caramalized onions add an extra kick to this dish. Highly recommend it. This restaurant should soon be in the top 5 in Chambersburg.

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.

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. .

I would say price is a bit high for what is literally a to go place (about $15-20) but it is in downtown Bethesda. Negatives - holy cow, this restaurant was insanely hot when I was in there. I felt horrible for the poor workers who have to be in there all day. I don't know if their air conditioning was out or what the day I went, but I hope management fixes it for the workers. They also got my order wrong but it was still good and I think the employee who was inputting it was getting trained.

This location was much better and their staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a large location and who wouldn't want to grab a bite here and then find a seat at the beautiful waterfront.

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!

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?)

The salad is in a smaller bowl (less salad), the food i had is less tasty, seems like they are skimping on ingredients, quality and taste to keep the price as it was while food costs increased. I order only the stir fry and soup and sslad, not sushi. Food is overcooked for a simple stir fry, brown sauce tastes like it was burned (can one burn a sauce?) Veggies were very overcooked, whimpy not firm or semi firm. No wonder there was a noticeable drop in the number of people here for lunch after church on a Sunday. I can no longer highly recommend this establishment. It's gone from very good or great to YUCK in the 10 months I was deployed. I will NOT be back often but maybe on rare occasion to see if it improves.

Falafel Shack is my favorite restuarant! They're a trendy little place located in our town square. When i say little i mean little but thier food has bigger than life flavor! Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine that is insanely good! Seriously, EVERYTHING on the menu is amazing, locally sourced, high quality food, that doesn't break the bank. Filled with amazingly kind and genuine people that have a passion for food. The smell of falafel balls, fresh pita, curry and shwarma drifting down the street drawing you into a restuarant that makes you feel loved and welcomed evey single time you walk through that door. The first time i saw them was at our local farmers market when they were just selling a few items out of their food truck. Now they have grown so much and deserve recognition for their hard work and killer food. All around amazing place, people and food that you would never guess you'd find in south central, PA in a town full of farmers. read more

True foodies run this restaurant. They began with a booth at the local farmer's market, upgraded to a food truck, and finally opened their brick-and-mortar in the square in Chambersburg. Tastefully decorated, comfortably seated and aesthetically pleasing, the food is there to match. Care goes into the preparation of food on a daily basis. Owners and staff are all kind-hearted and it shows in their efforts. Traditional middle eastern cuisine, combined with rotating international foods, excellent pizza, and the best hummus one is likely to ever eat. There is nothing lacking from this experience, or their efforts; even the outside seating may is so comfortable, you may forget you are sitting on a city street. read more

5 Stars. My parents and I drove an hour and a half to dine here, and I had ZERO regrets ! The staff were welcoming, and the ambiance was beautiful! For a second you would think we were in the Middle East...until a rural tractor trailer drove by . We were immediately served water without asking--which was refreshing since we were thirsty from travel. I loved the chicken shawarma platter and warm pita bread! The pomegranate fries were delightful and sweet . And the falafels had this unique nutty & earthy taste I still can't identify...but I like it! I can say with certainty, this place is a rare hidden gem of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately I do not possess the ability to keep a secret ....oops. read more

Hands down, my favorite restaurant EVER. The family who owns this is amazing, they clearly love what they are doing and use food to show love to the world. Bringing lots of flavors and tastes of the world to their hometown in South Central PA, they make amazing and delicious one-of-a-kind dishes that we love to taste and enjoy. Any day Mr or Mrs. Falafel are experimenting with a new dish or dessert is a good day to rush over and try the special. But always a go-to favorite for our fam is the chicken shawarma or the classic falafel and hummus. Their hospitality is one of a kind--it feels like they've welcomed you into their home for dinner. read more

The nice thing about Falafel Shack is that it's right on the roundabout, so it's passed by hundreds if not thousands of people everyday. I personally always wanted to go to this place because I thought it seemed interesting on passing. I was absolutely proven right when I ate here for the first time. It's a unique place for this area, with foods you can't get anywhere else. Not only that, but the pita and chai tea are especially good, they're personal favorites of mine. It's a quaint place with a nice aesthetic. I would absolutely recommend this to pretty much anyone. read more

I rarely leave reviews but I appreciate when others offer their opinions on a restaurant so that I can try the best local food. The food from the Falafel Shack is absolutely delicious. The food is fresh, with exciting flavors and there are vegetarian and vegan options as well! The owners and staff are warm and welcoming and it is obvious they enjoy making the highest quality food for you to enjoy. I would recommend the shorba or the chicken shwarma, although everything on the menu is fantastic! read more

The owners of Falafel Shack are so kind and welcome anyone into their restaurant and are excited to share their culture and cuisine. Food is always beautifully seasoned and packs punches of flavor! I highly recommend the chicken shawarma platter that comes with all the sides you could ever want. The spicy hummus and homemade pita is a must-have if you visit! Can't recommend Falafel Shack enough; it's literally one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Chambersburg! read more

I'm originally from Ottawa, Ontario (the capital of Canada) which is a very multiculturally diverse city and the Falafel Shack seriously has some of the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've ever had.
