So sad to find out that this place is closed for now. Waiting on baited breath for the doors to reopen in the next few weeks. I’ve eaten here before and it’s been on my mind for forever!!!! I was lucky enough to attend an event that they catered and I almost cried tears of joy when I was told who was providing the food. Please open your doors soon so I can have your food without hoping on a wing and prayer.

Family friendly and food is authentic. It's hard to find good falafel and this was better than the usual. The owner is hospitable and makes fresh food. It's a small place, but really nice and affordable.

I am someone who has never really been a fan of falafel. A friend invited me to try Lea's, and boy did it turn me around! The hospitality was fantastic, and the food was amazing, second to none. The owner truly wishes to make people happy with a cuisine that is near and dear to his own heart. The food is made with genuine love and you can taste the difference. All of the flavors blended so beautifully. I literally found myself craving more later that night! I definitely recommend Lea's, especially if you're someone who, "doesn't get the hoopla," about falafel. This place with help you get it!

This place is a hidden gem. The owner is super friendly and accommodating, and the food is absolutely fantastic!! I lived in Israel for 8+ years, and I can honestly say that this is the BEST falafel I've ever had- even better than anything I've come across in Israel. Truly mind blowing! The flavors are incredible, and you would be crazy not to stop here and give it a try!Vegetarian options: Sabich is a Jewish dish of Iraqi Origin, and its made of fried eggplant, eggs, and amba (a sauce made out of fermented/spiced mango).Falafel is made out of Chickpeas or Fuul (broad bean), and is very filling and delicious! This place offers both- and knocks both out of the park!
