I was looking for a good falafel place in the Watertown neighborhood, and stumbled upon this gem of a place.The owners are very polite and gentle.Definitely recommend the falafel combo; some of the best I've had in recent times in around Boston

I really adore the family that runs this little operation. As much as they bear the aura of *nonchalant-no-nonsense-straightforward*, they are actually very nice (and sometimes quite funny) folk. I recall one conversation the lady was having with an obvious regular over the phone. She had asked him several times what they wanted to order…I could tell that they had probably ate the whole menu at this point but couldn’t decide in the moment. A few minutes later, I heard her say in an exasperated voice, “Oh, yoooooouuuuuu *KILL* meeeeeeee, please tell me what you want.” (Note too that she says this in a particular sarcastic accent that literally made me absolutely LAUGH deep inside. Long story short, they continue for a bit on the phone and she finally finalizes the phone order.)I also fondly recall my first visit. I had ordered other dishes to try (none of which were Falafel despite it being part of the restaurant name). It was still pretty quiet as I literally got there as they were turning their open sign. Moments after I received my food, the owner himself stopped by the table with a small sample of his falafels after finding out it was my first time there. That short interchange immediately cemented their name in my list of places to dine. Why?They definitely serve some of the best falafels I’ve had stateside to date. And on top of that, I truly enjoyed the rest of the plates I’ve ordered so far. It’s one of those places that just somehow tackles your palate with simplicity and complexity making you feel like you’re at home and dining out at the same time.

If you love this your of middle eastern food, you will love this place.
The food is some of the best Mediterranean in the Boston area. The family that runs it is friendly and make this a neighborhood food counter with a few laminated tables. Most of the customers are for takeout and everyone is cordial. The owners wife make homemade deserts one or twice a week. They are a treat. The falafels are the best! Besides the baba ganoush. It's all good, they have it down.

Please look no further- the REAL deal!! I got 2 falafel wraps, which were wicked yummy. Delisious and beyond fresh, made with love and attention and extremely fresh. The pita is awesome too, signature wraps, easy to consume, not messy, and very flavorful. We are picky eaters and trust me this is as authentic as it comes. The prices too are extremely competitive and very much conservative. I can not wait to try other items real soon! We have tried so many places, this falafel is very moist and not dry and homemade!

Great Falafel and Middle Eastern food. One of Watertown's little treasures.
Food is good but I ordered through Grubhub and they just left the bag and the container with my fries wide open. The driver easily could have reached in and taken some. Disgusting. I will never order from here again because they do nothing to ensure my food is sanitary when it gets to me.
Love the chicken kabob rollup, good price and perfect amount of flavors n sauce
