I was at the SOWA market with my friend and decided to get some lunch. We decided to the Chubby Chickpea and what a waste of money that was!! I ordered a chicken falafel wrap and my friend got a side of falafel. My wrap was bland and definitely was not fresh. The falafel tastes overcooked and like it was leftovers. My friend felt the same way about her side order of falafel. I am still pissed I wasted $7 on the wrap. I will never eat from here again!! read more

Had the chickpea burger today with deep fried squash blossoms. The blossoms were soaked in grease and the burger was ok but on the small side with no significant special flavor. Might order the burger again but the blossoms were all grease, would definitely ask for a different side. read more

Strike 1: I ordered the Shawarma plate from the truck in Dewey Square. The cashier informed me that they had no meat until after noon. It was 11:30AM. All of the trucks in Dewey Square had modest lines at this time. Basically they were missing 80% of their main ingredients but were still open. Strike 2: I ordered the eggplant and falafel plate and the summer blossoms. The plate was literally the worst item I've ordered from a food truck and possibly ever. The falafel were dry,cereal-like discs. The eggplant was dripping with oil and tasteless. The rice was a grey, sticky abomination. I took three bites and threw the plate in the trash. Strike 3: I started in on the summer blossoms hoping for some redeption. The summer blossoms were, NO LIE, the saltiest food item I've ever tasted. Not just gross-salty, but danger-salty. The cashier guy was friendly enough. read more

So I've been on a falafel kick recently. I have to say these might be my favorite. It's hard to tell, because at the end of the day it is still just a falafel. They are on the smaller side which helps make it manageable unlike some others I have had. Solid addition the the downtown food truck scene. read more

Normally a line when this truck is around. The Shawarma sandwich is really good. Worth the wait. It's the only item I get because it's so good. read more

Lunch time in Boston is always great when the Chubby Chickpea truck is around. Amazing food, friendly staff, and great service. Food was delicious and everyone I know that has also tried it raves about it. If you see the truck and don't stop, you're making a mistake. read more

Only ordered the chickpea fries and they were undercooked and soggy. And the sauce only covered two "fries".

I frequent the truck every now and again when they are at Trinity Place. It's the only Mediterranean/middle eastern type food that I've found in the area! But that's fine with me, as every time I have gone, it has totally hit the spot. I usually get the Chubby Veggie, and it's always delicious. The eggplant is fried to order, so it does take a few minutes for them to make it, but that's fine with me, at least I know it's fresh! All the components of their laffa wraps are delish. Fresh and always tasty and you don't feel crazy stuffed afterwards. Don't get me wrong, these wraps are quite big, but it's well worth it. I highly recommend giving them a try! :0) Oh, and one more thing, since everything is made to order, their line gets really long too, so be prepared to spend some time waiting. read more

Avai Shemtov is a very talented guy. His dedication to his business is remarkable and it shows in the product the chubby chickpea delivers. I love the food and I will definitely keep coming back for more. read more

Really long line went very slowly. Unfortunately I ordered the grilled chicken wrap which was disgusting. I threw it out after three bites. Took 30 minutes for this "fast food" experience. Also, they run out of menu items by 12:30. Definitely not worth trying the other options on their menu based on this one experience. I'm not expecting fine dining, but could they at least give you a napkin? read more

Ordered the chubby chickpea. Promising start - falafel and schawarma inside were good, but tomato/onion mix had that old, rotten taste produce gets when it gets old. Wrecked an otherwise good meal. read more

they were quick to respond to my last complaint and own up to there miscommunication with regards to location which is commendable, ill bump up for that and again i kept trying to find them cause the laffa was delicious read more

Was excited to try a falafel and shawarma food truck after having to abandon my old shawarma truck I had in college. This, however, was very disappointing...not flavorful, bread was hard, the "spicy" shawarma did not have any real spice to it, and I'm pretty sure the lamb was not from a spit (even though I'm pretty sure the truck said it was...). My recommendation, go some place else read more

I was driving past the Arsenal Mall today and spotted Food Truck Wednesday and decided to stop. Of the four options, I chose The Chubby Chickpea because the smell coming from it was heavenly. I ordered the Falafel plate and my SO got a Chicken Kebab wrap, which they offered to add Falafel to for no extra cost making it a "Chiseled Chickpea" (I think that's what they called it). It was gooooood food. First of all, the plate came with much more food than I expected. Several pieces of falafel, Israeli salad, fries, and hummus to dip everything in. The fries with the hummus were wonderful and everything tasted very fresh. My one critique is that the breading on the falafel is very thick, but it was still quite tasty. The Chiseled Chickpea wrap was delicious. The chicken was soft and tasty, which went nicely with the crunch of the falafel. It is also stuffed with Isreali salad and hummus. All around good food. read more

I wàs really excited because I had never seen the chubby chickpea before and the line was really long.ni got my falafel wrap right away, because they premake everything, it was terrible. Extremely dry, not enough sauce or flavor. Where were the tomatoes and onions? And where was the white sauce? Extremely large and difficult to get down. I'll never go to the chubby chickpea again. read more

Had their lamb gyro a few weeks back and was truly wowed. it was 100% lamb meat, grilled slow and perfect. Just an incredible experience. However, tried their chicken shawarma next and was so disappointed. The meat was anything but generous and totally tasteless. There was quite an amount of laffa rolled up at the end and it spoke to the inadequate quality of the fillings. I tend not to take any hot sauce or banana peppers with my sandwiches so that I can assess the true taste of the ingredients, especially the meat. So, sadly, long story short, not much reason to go back to Chubby Chickpeas unless they have the lamb laffa available. read more

We had Avi and his team bring his delicious food truck to our wedding and our guests are still raving about it. In addition to serving their fantastic food out of the truck, they also set up an appetizer station, a dinner buffet, and had hors d'oeuvres passed around during cocktail hour. Avi went above and beyond our expectations both leading up to and during our wedding. In!addition to being a fantastic chef, he is a really great guy. read more

I've only heard great things about Cubby Chickpea. I've tried it myself--both the restaurant and the truck. The falafel is delicious. They make their own bread which is soft and chewy. Burgers are also great as is the diced vegetable salad. The workers are friendly, too! read more

I really don't understand the bad reviews for The Chubby Chickpea. Perhaps they are for menu items that I haven't tried and am unlikely to try. So, my review will be for one thing only- the Falafel. It is really, really good. I like the falafel plate with salad (this is a tomato, cucumber salad). It comes with humus and pita and I ask for extra tahini. The falafel is flavorful and crispy. You get 6 good sized falafel. When you add a healthy dash of garlicky tahini to a bite of falafel with a little bit of lemony humus, it is just right. Chase that with some tomato/cucumber salad and you have a near perfect lunch. So, give this food truck a try. And, stick with the falafel! It's worth it! (P.S. The Chubby Chickpea is so much better than Rami's food truck. They have tiny, flavorless falafel at high prices.) read more

Really not good. Super greasy over cooked falafel. Completely tasteless salad and tahini. Would not eat here again.

Had the chicken schwarma, there was a huge imbalance in salt. The veggies were bland and unsalted while the chicken or hummus was way too salty. I think the sandwich could be better if the seasoning was more balanced throughout. Not sure I'd go back. read more

Update: they offered a refund on the meal due to the overcharge, although I haven't replied in a month so it may not work. But I do appreciate the customer service. They said the shawarma seasoning was being adjusted at that time, so it probably tastes better by now. I'll try again next time I see their truck since their other food was pretty good read more

Delicious food. They kill the classics and also bust out some awesome innovative dishes. Wish I could have one permanently parked outside my house. read more

The Chubby Chickpea is "chubbalicous". One of my all time favorites. Whether it's at the restaurant or a quick visit to their food truck, they've disappointed! read more

Not very impressed. Got the chicken kebob wrap with everything on it including hot sauce, which was supposed to include banana peppers, pickled cabbage, and more. The chicken was a tad undercooked, it was drenched in way too much hummus, and there was nothing else in the wrap except a few pieces of diced tomatoes and cucumber. They must have also forgotten the hot sauce. Whole this was too heavy and very bland. Will not go back. read more

I tried a chicken sharma here and it was disgusting!!! The chicken was cold, sauce was bland, veggies tasted salty, and the bread was gross. I really like Rami's so when I ate here I was so disappointed!! I should have know better because no one was lined up here at lunch hour!!! read more

The CC was at the food truck festival in Quincy this past weekend. They had a dish called Chamin. Pronounced without the C. Great dish for the cool weather. Delicious chicken, potato, bean and rice dish with yummy spices. Very tempted to get the falafel because I love it but wanted to try something different at the festival. Definitely will go back. read more

I ordered from the food truck at the Prudential Center this week. I got the falafel plate, which includes hummus, tabbouleh, falafel and Israeli salad for 7.50$, comparable in price and listed items to The Falafel King and the Boston Kebab House downtown. I was disappointed. The falafel was really dry and not crispy on the outside, both Falafel King and Boston Kebab House are better. The tabbouleh tasted like it was made with couscous rather than bulgar. The Israeli salad was a sad excuse for a serving and looked more like pico de gallo than what one gets at the other falafel places mentioned. The hummus was good. Not a great experience and wont be going back. read more

Love love love their food! Their schnitzel is my kids' favorite (and my kids are SUPER picky eaters). their schwarma and falafel are delish. and it is all accompanied by super friendly and accommodating service. read more
