    Chicken Shawarma Platter

    From the moment you walk in the door, the amazing aroma hits you making it hard to decide on which dish to try. The owners were extremely warm and welcoming. We opted for the shawarma platter with the lentil rice. It was served with a side salad, humus and condiments... AND let me tell you.... It did not disappoint! 10/10. For the finishing touch we had baklava and that was also delish. The price for the quality and quantity of food is amazing. Highly recommend.

    My wife and I stopped into Abi's Falafel recently and we were both seriously impressed. This place is such a hidden gem. We ordered the Mixed Grill Platter and the Falafel Platter and everything was absolutely delicious -- super fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The Mixed Grill had perfectly cooked lamb chops, chicken, and kefta. You could taste the spices in every bite, and the meat was juicy and tender. The Falafel Platter was just as good -- the falafel were crispy on the outside and soft inside, with really clean, fresh flavor (not greasy like you sometimes find elsewhere). Everything came with fresh pita, creamy hummus, and a light, refreshing salad. You can tell they care a lot about the ingredients they use and how the food is prepared -- nothing tasted rushed or cheap. The vibe inside is casual and comfortable. You walk up to the counter to order (there's a menu board right above), and they'll bring your food out to your table if you're dining in, or you can take it to go. The restaurant was super clean and well-kept, which we both appreciated. It just felt good being there. The owner and the staff were really friendly and welcoming too -- you could tell they genuinely appreciate every customer that comes through the door. It's always nice when you feel like your business is valued. Prices were very fair, especially considering the portion sizes and the quality of the food. It's also a great spot if you're vegetarian -- lots of meatless options that looked really good too. We will absolutely be recommending Abi's Falafel to friends and family, and we're already planning to come back soon to try even more of the menu. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food in the Trumbull area, this place is 100% worth the visit.

    Management changed and I definitely like it better now. The food is great, good sized portions, but service could be better. The owner says the food is Halal, but they do serve beer/alcohol so eat at your own discretion. Food is definitely fresh and made to order, cute ambiance, but there is not much seating. Great option for takeout or a quick lunch.

    This is my second time posting a review for Abi's Falafel in Trumbull, CT. My go to for a quick, delicious and healthy meal. Best middle eastern food in CT! They have the most delicious kebabs, shawarma, salads, falafel, hummus and homemade lemonade to name a few! If you are in mood for some authentic delicious Arabic food, you got to try this place! Highly recommend it! The portions are very generous. Good Arabic food that tastes absolutely amazing. I ordered chicken shawarma salad and beef kebab salad. Both a must try! Love the ambiance and the decor. The service is super fast. I can't rave enough about this place. They also have lot of parking in the rear of the restaurant. Last but not the least love the music and the vibe. I will give it 5/5 for sure!

    Chicken Shawarma Platter

    Having moved from NYC, I wanted authentic, affordable, and most importantly delicious Middle Eastern food. This place is really my go-to now. Everything tastes fresh and portion sizes are fair for the price. I have tried their chicken platter, chicken shawarma sandwich and also lamb salad. All are great. The lamb is very juicy and they give you a good amount. The sandwich is also not dry. I don't know what else to say, but you have to try this place out. I did notice they are closed Sundays and Mondays- but hey, just don't close every day.

    This place deserves 5 stars it's clean and organized and the food is very very good we ordered few plates and everything was cooked to perfection and beautiful presentation Keep up the good work guys I talk to the owner Johnny he was very nice and he seems to care about his restaurant

    Kafta Platter

    We had a great meal at Abi's! The food was made fresh to order and still came out fairly quickly! Their hummus was insanely good, and the pita bread was so fresh. My fiancé and I enjoyed our platters - he had the kafta, and I had the lamb. We both agreed that the kafta was our favorite, and that the lamb could've been a bit more flavorful. The rice and salad on the platter were both very good, and I was addicted to the garlic sauce on the side! We liked the falafel as well. Everyone was friendly behind the counter and took good care of us while we dined in. I found that the restaurant was very clean too!

    Huge fan of this place fir middle eastern food in CT. My go to lunch spot I love the Abi's shawarma. They are usually quick to serve but note if your ordering kabobs its a 20 minute wait which I don't mind since it means they are cooking it fresh. Clean little shop in trumbull you can dine in but I usually take them to go. If your new to Trumbull definitely check this place out I have not had a bad meal yet.

    DELICIOUS .... a HIDDEN gem!…read more Walking in, this place is very warm and inviting. Walls are filled with local art for sale, and lots of plants! Came here after stumbling on this place searching "vegan coffee shop", wow did they deliver! The staff is super friendly, and had great recommendations! There had to be at least 5 vegan options, options that were not just tofu! For those not vegan, like myself, plenty of yummy options with a flare. Get two of the vegan peanut butter brownie, it's well worth it! Found pricing to be fair, look forward to trying the coffee next time.

We received our food and drinks quickly. We ordered two iced strawberry matcha lattes. Unfortunately, they were pretty terrible and borderline undrinkable. I don't doubt that their coffee is good, but this was disappointing. The color was not great, it had no actual matcha flavor, and not nearly sweetened enough (even with the strawberry syrup). It pretty much tasted like chalky water with strawberry seeds. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, Gouda cheese with spinach on a multigrain roll. I enjoyed it, and both the turkey and eggs were cooked well. I feel like there wasn't enough cheese, but maybe that's just me. However, the sandwich was kind of dry and I had to ask for ketchup so I could just have some moisture. My partner ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken didn't have much flavor, but the sauce was good.

    Robeks is a smoothie and acai bowl chain, and this Danbury location operates at the level I would…read moreexpect from the brand when it is running well. I looked over a menu that covers a solid range of smoothies, fresh juices, acai bowls, and toast options, with enough variety that regular visitors can work through different combinations without the menu feeling repetitive. The acai bowls are the strongest part of what the kitchen does here. I tried the berry acai with almond butter, a combination that comes up consistently, and the almond butter addition in particular elevated the base in a way that made it worth specifying when I ordered. The tropical mango bowl and the strawnana berry bowl both have their followers among regulars, and I can see why. The smoothies cover a broad range of flavor profiles, and the 800 lb Gorilla is one of the more popular options on the menu. Health shots are available as an add on for anyone looking to supplement their order. Consistency is the variable I managed my expectations around. I noticed smoothies in particular can taste noticeably different between visits depending on who is making them and how closely the recipe is being followed, which is a limitation that affects the experience more than it should for a brand at this price point. Staff were generally friendly and willing to accommodate dietary needs and modifications, though accuracy on customizations has been hit or miss enough that it is worth confirming my order before I leave the counter, particularly if I have an allergy or intolerance. Portion sizes are a little small compared to the price, so going in with a sense of what I am paying for per ounce is useful context. For a quick and relatively healthy meal or snack in Danbury when I want something fresher than standard fast food options, Robeks fills that gap adequately.

    Excellent smoothies, have not tried juices. I get mine "double blended" and it is not as icee as…read moreothers smoothie places (even double blended). Their Pumpkin smoothie is the best smoothie yet. Service is always cheerful and helpful and not much of an ambiance - it's a storefront takeout mainly.
