We came here on a local recommendation because apparently everyone in Davis LOVES Sam's. Like…read more.. say it with conviction. So of course we had to see what the hype was about. And I get the charm. It's in a converted house, super casual, quirky decor, very "we've been here forever and we know it." Order at the counter, find a seat, go with the flow. But for our first time... it didn't quite land. Service was great, no complaints there. Friendly, quick, efficient. But everything came out full takeout mode... styrofoam boxes, plastic forks that could not handle lettuce let alone falafel, and those tiny plastic water cups that make you question your hydration strategy. Meanwhile we're sitting inside like... are we dining or on a field trip? We got rice plates and nothing was bad, just nothing had that wow moment. It was all... fine. Steady. No pause mid bite. No "oh this is GOOD." I will say, places like this become staples for a reason. They're consistent, familiar, and part of the local routine. You can tell this is one of those spots people grow up on and keep coming back to without overthinking it. For me, I wanted a little more flavor and a little less takeout energy while actually eating there. Also parking is... optimistic. Plan accordingly. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I bring a real fork next time? Absolutely.

Food: 5/5 The breakfast burrito was amazing. My friend had said it was the spot she frequented back…read morein college and was really hyping it up. We stopped by and it does not disappoint. The burrito was extremely hot when it first came out so you might need a sec before you start eating it. I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast options but this breakfast burrito blew my expectations out the water. The sweetness of the honey really cuts through the heaviness of the rest of the burrito. Extremely tasty no notes. Definitely a must try :)) Service: not much to say, was pretty much self service Ambiance: very casual, great for lunch, next to Davis college campus

Got one of their famous breakfast burritos to eat in the Arb since I'd been recommended this…read moreburrito for a while now. It's the kind of hangover food you'll only find in a college town. Stuffed with fries, gyro meat, hot honey, eggs, cheese, Tapatío, and bacon, it's complete gluttony in the best way. Honestly one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The eggs are fluffy, the potatoes are both crisp and soft, and the fatty gyro meat and bacon add the perfect savory flavor to the burrito. The hot honey and Tapatío bring a sweet and spicy combo that makes it feel unique while still balanced. The inside was bustling even on a holiday weekend, but takeout was made easy with the kiosk setup. At only $11 and ready in under five minutes, it's hard to ask for much more.

Nothing special, the salad was right the rice was garlicky, and did come with pita bread and a water, but that's kind of expected for $20 at a takeout place.

Stop by for lunch today with the family. We got the falafel platter and the gyro platter so that we…read morecould share. With the student discount and a drink our total came out to about $30, which I think is a pretty good deal. I have to agree with a lot of the comments here in saying that the falafel is really good. The falafel was nice and moist, not dry at all and that perfect balance of like crumbly, but still able to maintain it shape. It appeared really well with the rice and the sauce. Speaking of which, sauces. They do not skip. My only complaint about the platter is that there aren't a ton of veggies/salad, but that's really not that big of a deal. The veggies are pretty good though, they've got a sauce and seasoned well. The gyro platter itself was pretty good, I actually really liked that the meat isn't shaved, rather it's cubed. It makes the meat feel and taste a lot more tender and juicy, as I find the shaved meat can run a little dry. Not much to say about service or ambience, as I wasn't really there for that or really paying attention. The person that was running the register was kind enough. I totally forgot until after we had ordered that they are known for their burgers. Will stop by at a later date to give that a try and update the review.

These two definitely cheaper and better to go to than Royal Kabob. Falafel Corner is more take-outey less homey vibes, less vegetables. Hummus has less rich taste, but as a non Middle Eastern person I think it's still authentic, just more take out vibe. Compared to Sam's, less bread but good especially when hot, no red sauce, more meat, less vegetables, less flavorful rice. I like Sam's better, but I understand the high reviews and would bring others here.

As a former UC Davis student and current Davis resident, it's crazy to see how far Shaws has come!…read moreI remember when Shaws and star Ginger were the only food trucks on campus and it was such a great meal at a good deal. Now they have their own storefront with a ton more options to customize your meal, and more options and things to order overall. The storefront is not huge, but I don't think it needs to be. It's clean and pretty well organized. The service is also fine. I ordered a combo rice bowl and was glad to be able to add extra toppings like tomatoes in the such. Now, the one thing that they don't do like the old truck used to do is load up with sauce. The old truck used to drown your bowl in sauce whereas now they're a little more conservative, but I imagine you could ask for more if you wanted more. The bowl itself tasted good. It's not going to be the best Halal food that you'll get in Davis or anywhere else in the world, but it tasted nostalgic, and I really enjoyed the whole thing. My husband who is currently on campus more than I am noted that the storefront gives you more food than the food truck at the silo. He also said that the food tasted better here.

The Chapli Kabob and Bolani were both heavily oversalted, and the kabobs were uneven in size and quite charred. The salt overwhelmed the flavors on both dishes. Overall, this was disappointing, especially since I had been positive enough about earlier visits to leave a 5-star review despite the salt issue. The excessive salt is a significant dietary concern when ordering take-away food for my family, so I had specifically hoped the issue I mentioned in my original review was just a one-off. Unfortunately, it appears to be a recurring issue. I chose to return here over other halal options, even for a smaller order, but this visit didn't match my first impressions in either food quality or customer service.

Service has been erratic as I've written before. This time all went well! We came with friends as a party of four. They were reluctant to see us outside initially, but it was a lovely 76° evening and we did not regret that choice and appreciate that they were willing to do that. The food was delicious.

The portions are consistently generous, making it a great value. Today, I ordered the gyro rice bowl. The gyro meat was plentiful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Paired with fluffy basmati rice and topped with their flavorful sauce, every bite was delicious. Mixing everything together brought all the flavors together beautifully. I usually order takeout, and my food is always ready on time, packaged securely in aluminum containers with plastic lids. Their rice bowls travel well, making them an excellent meal on the go. The prices are reasonable, and they frequently offer deals through Uber Eats, which is an added bonus. We're fortunate to have a restaurant like Falafel Corner in town. I keep telling myself I'll try more of the menu, but I always end up ordering one of their rice bowls - chicken, gyro, or falafel. They're all excellent.
