    Been a long time customer and this review is specifically for the newer management, which I had twice now. It seems they changed ownership in December in 2024 and I had Mr. Falafel in January. I noticed the food tasted different but it was still good. Fast forward to my recent doordash order (June 2025), my food tasted different and the falafel was bland, even with sauce. I ordered my usual shawarma plate and dozen falafels. The rice and meat was good, but I had some dry meat pieces that was tough. I was also disappointed that my tabbouleh salad was NOT fresh. I ordered my meal before 11AM, and the greens in the salad was yellow-green and on the drier side. I do want to try this place again, perhaps other items, but not until for awhile.

    Pops eating his Beef Shawarma Salad

    Wanted something a little different today so I figured I'd give this place a try. Parking is scarce on the street however there's plenty of parking in the parking lot next to the restaurant. Outside in front they have some tables with shade. Walking in they had coffee available on a table for patrons. The person who took our order was super nice, he asked if this was our first time in? We said yes and he gave us each a cup of their lentil soup. "The soup is fantastic!!" I ordered the chicken Shawarma salad, pops ordered a beef Shawarma salad, and wifey had the special veggie wrap. After bringing out our order the guy that took our order brought us out samples of their falafel balls. And gave us lots of tahini, garlic butter, and mild hot sauce. "Service here is outstanding!!" They give you plenty of food but IMO it lacked salt and there was a ton of hummus on the plate which overwhelmed everything on the plate. The chicken was good "just way, way too much hummus. I think next time I'll ask for the hummus on the side. "That's right I said next time, why next time? well.... the service is so good, I feel they deserve another go.

    Beef Shawarma Wrap

    On our way back to SF, we made a quick dinner stop at Mr. Falafel. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but it wasn't crowded when we arrived. After placing our order, we grabbed a seat outside. We tried the beef shawarma wrap and the chicken shawarma plate. While the chicken plate was good, my favorite was the beef wrap. It was perfectly crispy and so good with their house garlic sauce. I wish we had ordered the chicken wrap instead of the plate! We were too full to try the falafels, but I definitely want to next time -- along with that chicken wrap! The staff were great, and they even have a parking lot in the back for easy parking.

    The Food and service were both AMAZING!! We went to this place after a really long and tiring shopping day, it was raining so we sat inside, it was a bit cramped but they welcomed with a complimentary Lentil soup and chips. Our hefty order was too much for two px but it still came real quick and fresh. I absolutely loved their mixed kebab platter and Crispy chicken. Everything tasted Authentic Jordanian! We ended up taking back home a to-go and had it next day as well. It still tasted great! I'm definitely coming back soon or sooner. Really recommend it.

    Food: 4/5 Chicken has a decisions fresh charred flavor. Decent portion of rice, flavorful. Service: 5/5 Saad and Mohamed always go out of their way to make your experience exceptional. Wait time is never more than 15 minutes. Ambiance:: 5/5 This is mostly for takeout, per my experience. I have always ordered to go. There is seating outside.

I stopped in…read moreand after reading up on reviews and it seemed like I couldn't go wrong with anything I would decide to try. All ordering is done on an iPad here and I ended up going with the Beef and Lamb combo plate with half salad and half rice. I chose the Baba Ganoush as the side to go with the Pita bread. When I had read that the Baba Ganoush was especially good here, I have to agree. It had that distinct smokey taste from the charred eggplant blended with tahini. Let's get started with the Pita bread. Oh how I loved this Pita served up warm, soft, and fresh. Was this the best Pita I've ever tried? Did I just say that? Yes. Dipped into the Baba Ganoush, I knew that this alone was hitting the spot. The beef and lamb was solid-- tender, juicy, thinly sliced and nicely seasoned. The salad with olives was exactly what I expect from a good Mediterranean salad- light and big on the olive taste. The rice was fluffy and seasoned well. Everything about this combo plate was done well and I'm definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Gilroy.

I had tried their gyro pita, falafels and banana shake in the months after the peak of the Covid pandemic as a DoorDash delivery. I was pretty underwhelmed at the time, but told myself that I should try it freshly made at the restaurant to give them a fair shake. I finally stopped by to check them out yesterday. It certainly feels like a drive-in restaurant with the five or so parking spots out front and menus posted above the windows facing the street. There are a few tables and benches for customers. One of the owners from the Nijmeh family patiently and politely took my order. I ordered the gyro pita, four falafel and a banana shake. It didn't take long to come out, just taking about five minutes. The falafel was slightly better in person than when I had it delivered due to the warmness. The same herb-heavy green inside the crispy fried ground chickpeas. It was tasty but does it stand out from the ones at Falafel Stop in Cupertino? No, not in my opinion. Falafel Stop has some fantastic falafel, slightly smaller and more savory. The banana shake was a slight improvement as well. I could taste the texture of banana this time and it was a bit thicker. The flavor was alright, although caramelizing the banana might help make the flavor more complex. Unfortunately, the gyro pita was really similar to how I remembered the delivered one. A thin and fragile pita barely holding lettuce and tomatoes drenched in sauce, with unwieldy blocks of gyro meat rather than gyro thinly shaved from a vertical spit. In two bites, the whole thing was coming apart in a complete mess. The flavor was rather ordinary as well. I can appreciate the long history and tradition of a local family-run restaurant. But I don't know if I've ever known of a more overhyped restaurant in my life. For me, the food didn't come close to earning the extreme adulation on social media and gushing reviews. There's a similar cognitive dissonance when it comes to Stan's Donuts. To some this would be considered sacrilege. And to this I say: merit and objectivity should take precedence over sentimental nostalgia.

They have booths but those were all taken so we sat at a table in the middle of the dining room. Have sat outside on a previous visit and it was lovely Ordered cocktails and the starters zucchini chips and the Greek fries. Both were very nice and tasty. The starters came out before the cocktails which is why 4 stars instead of 5 Dinner was 1)moussaka - this was prepared very nicely with a nice ratio of eggplant, meat and cheese 2) pasticio - we had never had this before and it was really good. The combination of the beef and lamb was delicious 3) lemon chicken & orzo - this is prepared in a signature Opa lemon marinade which was refreshing and comfort food all in one. The orzo was such a great combination with the chicken Roman was our server. He was very pleasant and funny.

The foods were good especially the chicken that my hubby and friend ordered as well as our appetizers, the Greek nachos. But I didn't like the moussaka that I ordered. It was super dry, and a bit salty and doesn't have enough eggplants and bechamel cheese. I have to say this is not authentic moussaka. We love Greek and Mediterranean foods and have been to many authentic Greek restaurants and had that even in Greece so there's a night and day difference.
