Spending three days in West Yellowstone, Montana, I didn't conduct a thorough research for vegan options, so after leaving Yellowstone late last night many restaurants were already closed. I got scared because I didn't want to solely eat protein bars. I quick Google and Yelp search secured this falafel spot. I was shocked and didn't expect to find falafels in Montana of all places. Thankfully, the falafels are VEGAN!! It's a one man show meaning, the owner takes the orders and cooks the food. The falafels are MADE to ORDER, so the wait time is quite long. He takes two orders per person not to lose track of orders. I ordered the falafel combo which comes with six falafels, rice, hummus, a small salad, and a drink all for $20/even. Even though the card machine says $.60 cent tax, the owner won't accept and is firm about the solid bill. Now for the food: the falafels were very tasty. Savory; not gritty or chunky. The falafels are hockey pucks, not round balls. I appreciate the shape since they were easier to dig out the hummus. The hummus was not my favorite thing. It tasted like straight tahini with chickpeas. No lemony flavor. It wasn't gross, but the taste of tahini is acquired alone. The salad is a mixture of onions, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes. Nothing extravagant, but was fresh. The rice is yellow with faint seasoning, but it is delicious fluffy and cooked well. The location is a tad bit confusing though; if using Google maps it'll take you to the wrong Chevron. To locate the food truck, go to the Chevron gas station in front of a clothing store and next general store with the ice cream out front. The owner was very nice and on a Saturday night, he didn't close at 10pm like Google says. It stays open later. Food hit the spot after exploring Yellowstone all day. I slept like a baby! read more

I've had a lot of falafel so I know good falafel when I have it. We had the combo plate (very large portion) and a Regular wrap. Both were excellent and made very fresh. The guy that runs it (Alon I think) takes pride in his food and you can tell. West Yosemite seems to be a desert for good, healthy fresh food but The Falafel Spot was the oasis. read more

The food and service at "the Falafel Spot" was wonderful and amazing vage food. I took the COMBO option, food was Fresh, flavorful and healthy read more

After a day of poor food from being in the park, I was starving! I was so happy to find this place. This location is a food truck that's parked near a gas station. We parked in the back and walked over. Several other people were in line ordering, but the wait wasn't too long. The owner was friendly and busy cooking all the fresh food. There is one table outside, but we took our food to go. This is a falafel truck, so get the falafel! I ordered the falafel plate and it was soo delicious! The flavors were perfect. My friend ordered the shawarma plate, but the meat was very overcooked. The flavor and everything else was so good, we couldn't score this place lower though. Do yourself a favor and go support this spot! read more

We were on vacation in Yellowstone (ofcourse). My husband saw the reviews for this place and we decided to try this place. The owner welcomed us so nicely and we decided to order falafel wrap and platter. Oh my god they were sooo fresh and delicious. Owner was super kind and he made fries(off menu) for our daughter. If you are here on vacation do try it. Absolutely amazing!!! read more

If you're looking for a break from burgers and bbq in West Yellowstone and want something more healthy and lighter this is a great spot to do so. It's a good truck right next to the Chevron gas station. They have hotdogs, fries, nachos, grilled cheese sandwiches but their main items are Falafel sandwich wrap, falafel plate, or a falafel plate with hummus. I believe the falafel plate is just falafels with salad and veggies. I went with regular sized falafel wrap for $10, which came with a generous portion of falafel balls, cucumbers, lettuce, I believe tzatziki sauce. It was good! My only complaint was the falafel was a little dry. Most places I go to the falafel is dry so I get the complexity, there are very few places I been to where the falafel is crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside, and it's perfect. Although a little dry, I still enjoyed my wrap l. I hope they expand their menu and have something like a falafel bowl that comes with Mediterranean rice, salad, cucumbers, pickled cabbage, peppers, falafel, all covered in tzatziki sauce, with a side of pita bread and hummus because I would order that all day! read more

The Falafel Spot - Falafel wrap regular size - pretty good size I was full - Falafel Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

My boyfriend and I came frequented this place twice during our stay, and the second night was on fourth of July night! I would highly recommend this place because the food is fresh, and they were working so late into the night on July fourth just for the long queue of customers. FYI there is zero Indian food in West Yellowstone besides the grocery store with some pantry food, so this place really saved us. I tried the hummus and it tasted good. The location is also convenient and they do have some outdoor tables if you choose to sit outside and eat. The workers are friendly too!! read more

Pretty good! The falafel was definitely one of the best we've tried in the states. It was well made and its freshness was apparent. The sides that arrived with it complimented the falafel and enhanced the dish as a whole. The falafel wrap was also delicious. The people working the stand were incredibly friendly. They explained what each dish entailed and even made helpful recommendations. Overall a great experience! read more

BEST FOOD IN WEST YELLOWSTONE HANDS DOWN. The chef is truly cooking with love here. Every ingredient is fresh and every item is made to order. Flavorful falafel-- a homerun all around. And the only entirely VEGAN option in West Yellowstone! Also, kindest service from Kim. Such a sweetheart and so helpful. :) Thank you for a wonderful end to our visit!! We will definitely be back! read more

Best falafel I've ever had!! Spoiled now, nothing will compare. Great service, super nice people. It's just a food truck with a pretty small menu, but all the falafel dishes are vegan. I believe they also have a hot dog and a chicken dish. read more

After a busy day at Yellowstone national park we were feeling hungry and we were looking for a quick spot to have a bite. We searched around us and we decided to try the falafel spot. It is food truck near Yellowstone national park which serves dishes made of falafel. From the menu we decided to order Falafel Hummus Plate and Falafel plate. We had to wait for 20-30 minutes to get our order. The food was hot and falafel were freshly prepared. The falafel plate was delicious and tasty. Loved the falafel and the falafel hummus plate was also delicious. Loved both the dishes. read more

It's not easy to find vegetarian-friendly food in West Yellowstone. We wanted a quick bite before continuing our drive. This food truck fit the bill. Prices were higher than previously posted (inflation I guess). $15 for a regular wrap. $12 for a small. The owner and his daughter explained the limited menu of falafel wraps or falafel plates. (Supply issues.) We got authentic falafel sandwiches on a cold tortilla (closest pita is in California he says) with hummus, veggies, rice, tzatziki, hot sauce. Tasty. Nothing fancy. Plenty of tables to sit at. Not a lot of ambiance in a gas station parking lot. But, quick and friendly. read more

This was a gem in West Yellowstone! The food was fresh and delicious and the service was kind and attenttive. It's a food truck so the ambiance is utilitarian it was a nice day out so we had a lovely time sitting outside. read more

The owner is so nice. The falafels are amazing! A tiny bit spicy for really sensitive kids but cooked perfectly. My daughter said it was the best dinner ever! She loved the falafels with the tahini sauce. The sauces were delicious also. It's in a food truck right on the side of the gas station so harder to find at first but totally worth it. Definitely get your food here!! It's authentic as he is from Israel. He makes all his food from scratch and won't use any frozen ingredients. The only thing that is a little surprising is he uses tortillas instead of pita bread because he wants only fresh ingredients and can only get frozen pita in Montana. However my husband loved his chicken Schwarma and thought of it as a burrito wrap. Anyways, it was fast service and had nice pictures to decide what to order. read more

I've been on the road for four days driving across this country. Along the way finding a good meal can be pretty difficult. The further I get from California the more my options become limited. We really enjoy visiting West Yellowstone, and have always appreciated the smiling faces in this community. But today I made a new friend. Let me tell you about Isaac at The Falafel Spot. He doesn't do politics, he just loves people. But not only that he loves his craft and it shows. Have you ever had falafel done the right way? Do you love hummus? Are you a stickler for authenticity? Because quite frankly, I don't know that I ever tasted better Falafel in my life. Don't ask him how he makes it, instead trust his methods and his integrity. Because you aren't going to find fresher food or greater passion for feeding people this close to the continental divide. My son tried falafel for the first time at Isaacs spot. He ate 11. Case closed. Our family will continue to return to West Yellowstone for lots of reasons but my absolute go to for food will be Issac and his intrepid crew at The Falafel Spot. Oh and did I mention that I am a huge meat eater and Issacs VEGAN food absolutely satiated myself and my entire family. Don't think twice, try The Falafel Spot today! read more

Yummy food. Probably best thing in west Yellowstone food wise that we tried. Cute food truck.

Some of the best falafels I've had. Crispy outside. Soft inside. Hummus also delicious. Highly recommended read more

Our family really enjoyed our meal tonight. We're not vegetarian but wanted something lighter than the usual meat and potatoes. This was flavorful and very filling! The owner is kind and makes everything from scratch. The flavors are delicious and we enjoyed having some spice on the side. read more

Meh. Reasons for meh. 1. Too much rice/bad ratios. We were a large group of 8 and we finished all the falafel and shawarma chicken on the combo plates but only ate about half or a quarter the rice and other things. Would have liked to just buy chicken/falafel. We also got wraps and the same - not enough of the main part. The wraps are a regular Mexican tortilla. 2. Bad hours. We were told they opened at 5pm by a local. Called to be sure - and were told they "try" to open at 6pm, 6:30 at the latest. We arrived at 6:45 and had to wait about 20 min while one guy ignored us completely and chatted with a friend outside the food truck. The other worker, more owner type at least said hello and thanks for waiting. Not great customer service. 3. The falafels and shawarmachicken were good but lacking. We ate them but did not crave to go back again. read more

In town for a couple nights and stumbled by this truck. Everything was extremely fresh and flavors were on point. Definitely not the food you'd expect in the area but we love falafel and this was a pleasant discovery. Can't recommend highly enough you won't be disappointed! read more

I am quite shocked by what Rucha N. had to say about this falafel. We have visited this Falafel Spot several times through the years and the owner is AMAZING, polite, friendly, and gave us incredible customer service. The food is delicious, authentic and FRESH! It is quite interesting that you chose to include POLITICS in food, so clearly your review was not about quality or taste but instead, of HATRED and BLAME. If you were educated and non-ignorant, you would realize that the word "Israeli" is not spelled "Israhelli" as you speak in your language and CLEARLY you are a racist who never actually visited the Falafel Spot to eat their food in the first place but decided to blast someone based on their religion and country. Your last sentence proves that with your genocide comment but unfortunately you are a coward that hides behind a phone screen and has zero class and zero common sense to realize that food should have nothing to do with your personal, delusional beliefs. What I won't do is give you a history lesson because you are too stupid to actually listen and understand history but will I will do is make sure EVERYONE reading your review knows that it is out of hate and vengeance, and not over falafel. The owner's online reviews from level headed, kind individuals and repeating customers speak for themselves. So do yourself a favor, go bury your head and your 1-star false, pathetic review in the dirt, 6-feet under where you actually belong. read more

We had been road-tripping for a couple of days. Just made our way through Yellowstone and were desperate for a quick dinner before hitting the road for another 5 hours. There was only one man working and he was making each plate to order. It took a little longer than we expected the smells emanating from the truck kept us on the hook. We were not disappointed. Hands down the best meal of our trip. read more

The best falafel we've ever had! They were out of rice when we arrived, so I couldn't try the falafel combo. Still, it's a must-visit spot in West Yosemite. read more

Made from pre made ingredients. Tasteless. Skimp out on sauce. Does not taste anything like falafel. Skip it. Dropping another star after ignorant owner response. Yea, I have been. Falafel was dry and tasteless. read more

Wow! What an amazing experience and pleasant surprise in West Yellowstone! Vegetarians/Vegan delight even for non vegetarians. They were so nice and so pleasant to chat with. We had the falafel taco, the wrap, and lentil soup. Some of the best food and flavors we've had. The taco is a loaded and quite large with a large soft tortilla boat style taco. The wrap is filling and loaded with veggies. Ask for some authentic "hot sauce" for extra flavor. They are located in the gas station parking lot. read more

Great falafel and the owner is a great guy, be sure to stop in if you're craving some falafel or shawarma

Boy, after nearly 2 weeks in the Tetons and Yellowstone, I was so happy to find something different!! Isaac was so welcoming with samples as I decided what to order. He graciously customized my order because he just wants to see you happy. I was happily enjoying my falafel, getting a bit thirsty, but was too lazy to get my drink out of my car. Isaac insisted that I have something to drink with my yummy meal. Very generous and conscientious. I wish the best to him and his family! read more

After a tired day of hiking came back to West Yellowstone today directly to Falafel Spot. Just had falafel wraps at this absolutely delicious place. We were looking for vegetarian options and this place serves absolutely crave worthy falafel wraps. Falafels were prepared meticulously and tasted so fresh crisp. The rice and other fillings including sauces were all very high quality. The owner was very hardworking and service was better than many fancy restaurants. Highly recommend Falafel Spot for Yellowstone visitors. -Raj read more
