Incredible! Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for lunch or a dinner date or with the fam. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about food allergies, which made the experience even better. I ordered the deluxe lamb dish, and it was so good I wish I had ordered enough to meal prep for the entire week! The falafel was hands down the best I've ever had. I can't recommend this restaurant enough--we will definitely be back! read more

Everything that Allan's makes is fantastic. I would love to meet Allan but he is never there. However his food is beyond delicious and superbly good. It's expensive but it is worth every penny. read more

This place came highly recommended during my trip. I went with a group of 8 and had a lovely time. I loved the atmosphere and decor. Our server Brandon was phenomenal. I got the Golden Chai (hot), the Israeli Cigars and the Shawarma Bowl. With tax and tip my bill alone was close to $45. 20% Gratuity is added to groups over 4. The Israeli Cigars were tasty with the sauce but not sure if the 5 piece app is worth $12. The Shawarma bowl was good but definitely could have used more sauce. The Golden Chai was so creamy and full of spice. So delicious on a cold day. There were no complaints from anyone at our table.

Randomly stumbled on to this place while in the area. From start to finish, the service was great. Everyone that we interacted with were super sweet and friendly making sure that we were good. We ordered Hummus with Shawarma (lamb & turkey mix) and a small Israeli salad. We weren't that hungry so the portion size was perfect for us. Both items were delicious and flavorful, a little salty for my liking but nonetheless, very good! The restaurant itself had great indoor seating and a few tables outside as well. *We parked on the street but it looked like there might have been parking behind the building. read more

Came back recently, and their food is STILL great! Likes: - The Turkish coffee was a delight - The shawarma here is melt-in-your-mouth delicious - Food is a fantastic value. Not only is is delicious, you get a good amount for the price charged Knocking down a star because: - While our main server was friendly, she also had double duty at the take out counter, and thus was less available than we'd expect (for water refills for example) given the lower volume of customers the afternoon we dined here--only one other table when we arrived, and only one more table sat during our meal. - The other server on staff was quite animated and audibly and visibly friendly/smiling to the other patrons, but she was somewhat rude and snippy (and scowl-y!) toward us... quite strange, really, when she was the one who came by to drop off our food - it's not like we flagged HER down or asked her for anything. read more

Allan's Falafel - Chicken Skewer Appetizer Sampler - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chester, New York

We were at Legoland and didn't want to eat amusement park food so decided to venture out for lunch. As we waited for the food, my brother-in-law tried one of their caffeinated concoctions but it just reminded him of the liqud in canned mushrooms. We ordered one shawarma pita with turkey and lamb as well as the chicken gyro sandwich. The portions were generous however the textures and the flavors were just okay. I especially wasn't a fan of the pickled cucumber, fresh would've been much better. The staff was very friendly and the place was cute - very fitting for the main street location. While it's a unique find given the area, I think we'll just stick to pizza next time. read more

Update, So I still love this place but today I tried the lamb, Very disappointed to find out that "the lamb" is just the packaged gyro meat put on the grill? Everything is homemade so I just assumed that since they make their own everything why oh why. read more

Finally tried this place and was so pleased! Great customer service from all staff which was so refreshing as its not the norm in the HV. It was a busy Sunday but several people offered to help/acknowledge me waiting for my takeout while also serving seated guests. literally the most simple gesture which goes so far. As for the food- I tried the clasic falafel sandwich and it was a nice size for the price and so good! Was a great late lunch that kept me full all night. Will def be back! read more

Thisnl place is amazing! Excellent shawarma, falafel and baklava. Friendly staff, prompt service. Allan is awesome! He greets customers making them feel part of the family. Will be back next time we are close. read more

Great find on our drive back to the city! Allan and his wife are super friendly and greet their guests! We were going to order for take out and hurry back but decided to stay once we were received such a warm welcome! I ordered the shawarma which could be made into a bowl instead of a sandwich adding hummus and pita chips. It was delicious and very filling! While we were all full- we couldn't resist getting some freshly made baklava which we could see in the counter window while we watched the staff in the kitchen. Will definitely go back if we are I the area! read more

I typically love this place, I truly do. The food and flavors are amazing. It's just recently with the economy I noticed a lot of changes in quantity of food which has been disappointing. My chicken wrap was all rice and maybe 3 chicken cubes. Then I got my husband a salad with chicken. The chicken was like the size of my palm for $6.50... Again love the food but the quantity of food has been going down lately. read more

Food great as it was expected, I'm glad it wasn't as busy when I went for dinner with friends.and we had a great time. The dinning room was beautifully decorated and the dinner was just delicious.

I talk about this Allan's Falafel to everyone I know! The workers displayed authentic friendliness, welcoming smiles, and real pleasantness. The chef avoids excess, focusing on texture and creative approaches. You'll appreciate the original concept. Try to make it to this place. read more

Always the best and freshest delicious food. The other day we did a take out order of lamb gyro. So go tender AND DELICIOUS

Wonderful food. I did a doctors luncheon catered here and they couldn't have made it any easier. The food was terrific. All the staff raved about the meals. I went back and grabbed a plate to take home and it was just fantastic. Staff couldn't be nicer. Can't wait to. Return. Thanks! read more

Been going there for lunch for years. Always good and fresh. The service is good too whether you dine in or out.

This place is wonderful! They have smoothies, juices & the most delicious food. The service is good with a smile & a kind word The place has a rustic charm. I can't wait to go back. This place is so good for folks with food allergies. Very accommodating read more

I recently tried Allan's Falafel as they bring their food truck to my place of employment regularly. I had the Gyro and Falafel appetizer. I have to say that they were absolutely fantastic!!!!!! The Gyro was packed full of flavor. It comes with the usual lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce arrangement. However, in addition, it comes with pickles and cabbage inside. I was blown away by how good this was!!! As for the Falafel....this is by far the best falafel I have ever had!!! This Falafel is actually SEASONED and seasoned very well as opposed to most places where you will get salt and pepper in it if you are lucky. I highly recommend checking them out if you see their food truck or,go to the restaurant in Chester. I plan to visit the restaurant in the near future, but know what I will be having for lunch the next time they are scheduled to have their truck at my job site!!! read more

Tasty chicken but my pita was incorrect. I ordered grilled pepper and onion with cucumber and lettuce. I received grilled onion and lettuce, no cucumber and added hummus. It tasted okay, but just wasn't what I expected. My husbands order was delicious. I can't wait to try the empanadas I got for lunch tomorrow! Great little stop post-Legoland on Mother's Day. read more

Best falafel around! Allan is sweetest owner ever and always trying to make sure that his customers are happy. The food is always amazing Ambiance is cozy and homey read more

The lamb/turkey shawarma Pira is truly top tier. And I take my shawarma very seriously. Definitely among the best I've had in the US. Meat is delicious and the vegetables are super fresh. I get pickles on it as well. My only recommendation to take it to the next level would be if they made their own fresh soft pitas. Overall, highly recommend. Some of the best food in the area without a doubt. read more

Juice drinks were good. We also liked the cigars, spinach and cabbage. I didn't care for the falafel. The waitress was very nice.

Excellent!! I'm vegan and got the falafel bowl. I loved it! One of the best I've ever had. Great service! Recommend!!! Wish I loved closer.

Allan's Falafel is some of the most delicious food I've found since moving to Orange County. The falafel is amazing and everything is so flavorful. The biggest bonus is all of the things they are able to make gluten-free, and their care to avoid cross-contact. Highly recommend? read more

I used to love this place but over the years it's become less amazing delicious authentic food you can't get anywhere and more like every hala kart in NYC, seems they've lost their drive or something now they have a following. You can get this quality food at 80% of food karts in manhattan for half the price. Stinks. read more

Got a big deluxe platter that had a few falafels, hummus, and multiple kinds of salads and a matcha latte. Was super filling.

Beautiful place , beautiful people and amazing food! Never disappointed! I always get the chicken and salad so good.

We ordered for pick up here after a long day at Legoland. My family and I thought the food was delicious, and my kids even gobbled it all up. Would definitely order again or go eat there - the restaurant also looked very nice and was jam packed. read more

I have always loved their falafel.i a pita. I a..vegan and it is vegan and tasty. Today I ordered it by delivery. It was dry very little hummus or Tahiti o. It. The falafel balls were exceedingly dry. I.never wvwr thought I would write this kind of review but I want them to not do this again. It was awful and I cannot get the taste out of my mouth ​ read more

I'm confused... is this Israeli food? I was under the impression that it was Middle Eastern cuisine. Shawarma, hummus, falafel... they surely are middle eastern cuisine. Anyways, service wise, it's slow but the place looks clean. Food wise, it was ok. Nothing spectacular. The food was fresh, flavors is there but it could be better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Authentic Israeli cuisine in Chester, NY which Allan's Falafel is my party of three's final destination for a happy ending to a weekend. I desired chicken cutlet pita pocket $6.95 rather than on a platter or a plate. I am always enamored with pitas and hummus. Their pitas and plates or platters are served with hummus. My pita contained insufficient hummus. My good close friend and fellow Yelper Marlene G. and her husband Kiddeft K. enjoyed their respective falafel platters with hummus. Service is attentive. It is family friendly. Our party ordered extra pita but no hummus was accompanied. Food is fresh. As a foodie I come with an open mind to all cultures and cuisines with the will and interest to try. Price is very reasonable. The facade emits a very charming southern home of a porch with white railings and pillars depicting a home rather than a restaurant. The facade also contains a fully accessible ramp for strollers and wheelchairs. Nota bene: Cellular signal service is not available in this location as our party of three asked for Allan's Falafel's WiFi access. Password is required to gain WiFi access. read more

Great food, friendly peeps. I was visiting here and decided to check reviews. What a great gyro with cabbage slaw and pickles. I loved it! If you have a good gyro we can be best friends. Friendly peeps at the counter serving real Mediterranean fare. Clean kitchen- open to view the mastery at work. Classic old part of town- don't miss this old joint. Thank you! read more

A highly rated casual cafe in charming Historical Chester Village where one can eat a feast or just a refreshing iced coffee or juice. The service is friendly and the patrons are mellow. Fresh flowers spill out over the covered front porch which is handicap accessible. Inside it's very cool and the featured falafel and salads hit the spot on a summers day. The hummus is homemade and first rate. read more
