The staff is so nice and warm! I felt so welcomed in their establishment! I ordered the grape leaves, spinach pie, and lentil pie. All three have so much fresh flavor. The pies were soft, warm, and moist. The grape leaves cool and spiced! I do not know why I have never been here before. I will be coming more often now!

Everything from the hummus to the wild garlic chicken panini to the baklava was AMAZING! I could tell that all our food was made fresh, with care.
Cheap food and not a clean place at ALL! The employee took the lid of the trash can and put it on top of a dining table! Then he changed the bag and NEVER cleaned the table! Owner was in the area and didn’t even address this. Can you imagine what may be happening in the kitchen? Also is cheap food for a lot of $. A mint lemonade is around $4.50.The only good thing about this place is the hummus. We tried mint lemonade, chicken wrap, family plate, 2 smoothies, etc. Papel used for the wrap was sticking to the actual wrap/bread. Lemonade was not very tasty. Chicken has no flavor. Olives have PIT inside! Be careful if you don’t want to end up getting a dentist appointment. Counter was not clean and the bottle sauce was dirty too. Customer service, well I will do 2-3 starts because it is a family oriented place and they are young but still need to get better at it.

Falafel King is AMAZING! I’ve lived all over the country, including Houston, Texas (foodie central), and can say this is the best Mediterranean food HANDS DOWN! Everything is homemade and fresh. Falafel is to die for. Family owned and very professional service. I love this place! Go check it out. ?

I visited Falafel King this evening, and it's an absolute delight for Middle Eastern cuisine enthusiasts! The falafels I ordered were perfectly crispy on the outside yet tender and bursting with flavor on the inside. The exceptional service truly stood out - the staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that every customer, including myself, felt welcomed and well taken care of. The cozy ambiance further enhanced my dining experience, making it an unforgettable evening. Whether you're dining in or opting for takeout, Falafel King promises to satisfy your cravings with its delicious food and top-notch service.

This is the worst place that claims to sell Middle Eastern food. I ordered 3 Kofta Platters and 2 Falafel to take home.1- The Kofta (Which has nothing to do with Kofta) was cut into very small pieces of very burned meat and turned to Charcoal. I threw up immediately after I put two pieces in my mouth.2- Falafel seems to be cooked in the Microwave like they are heating up the other food as well.3- The Hummus that came as a side was super salty.4- The services staff act stupid when you ask them to switch from one side to another. After I got through them, they said it will be messy to replace one side for another. Ridiculous!5- When I finally was able to reach the owner, he was so rude and started making up stories into how his restaurant served 40 plates of that platter and everyone was happy, you'r right buddy! I can smell your lies from miles.6- Never Again!
Best in town, have been meaning to come here for ages! Love it so so much definitely my new go

I recently enjoyed an exceptional dining experience that ticked all the right boxes at Falafel king. The customer service was top-notch, with a staff that was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The spotless cleanliness of the establishment added to the overall positive ambiance. What's more, the prices were reasonable, offering great value for the quality of food served. They managed to deliver our orders promptly without compromising on taste or presentation. For those seeking a fantastic dining experience in Gainesville, this spot combines excellent service, cleanliness, fair pricing, and quick service for a thoroughly satisfying meal. Highly recommended for anyone in search of a memorable dining outing.
