Good food but poor customer service. Every time I ask for extra garlic sauce they trick me by giving tahini sauce. When a customer asks for garlic sauce give them the damn sauce, what’s the bid deal about it!
I was a regular customer, I will probably never return. There are a ton of options around the place.

Got a falafel sandwich. It came in a large pita bread with 3 falafels, base layer of humus, and pickles, tomatoes, and white and hot sauce. I enjoyed the crunchy texture, but it could have been served warmer, was there before noon and with a bit more kick in the hot sauce.

My go to lunch spot in Downtown Boston healthy, delicious and served up fresh to order. The service of the staff and quick turnaround make it not only the best bang for the buck but a lunch you can order, sit and enjoy without stress. I highly recommend either location. My kids love their rice and falafel!!! More

Good food and very reasonable prices.
Food is not only good but of high quality.
Their falafels are amazing!
Chicken kabobs are better than lamb. Their mixed plate which consists of beef and chicken is also pretty good.
Recommended if you are in the area.
I have decided to change rating from a four stars to five stars rating because of consistent good and high quality food.

Delicious food and ample portions. I got the baba ganoush salad with chicken added. The chicken was flavorful and moist, the baba ganoush nicely done. Had to take half of it home because it was quite a bit of food. Nice service too.

This is honestly the best food spot in downtown. The service has been nothing short of excellent every time I've gone, and the guys are always friendly. Needles to say, the food is tasty and portion sizes decent for the price. See you again soon! More

The falafel wrap was made very well by the staff who served me this morning -- very balanced and well spread and well-mixed. I got my wrap in 10 seconds, for 10 dollars. Later on they also were happy to give their customers an extra falafel for taste!

Best falafel in the city! It's a nice bonus that they give you a piece of fresh falafel to eat while you're standing in line. I've been going since they were a small stand in a food alley years ago and the food has been consistently delicious since those days.

Manager started yelling at me and would not honor the ubereats order i placed with them.
They have a ton of virtual/ghost brands on ubereats/doordash but seems like the employees dont understand that concept or they were trying to commit some kind of fraud.
Dont order them on the food delivery apps. I had my 3 year old daughter with me and this guys started yelling at me due to his own ignorance. I previously had written a 5 star review for them on multiple platforms...
