My family and I finally had the opportunity to visit Casa De Falafel. We were greeted warmly and told about the menu options and offered a sample of the falafel rings. We tried several items including the falafel wrap, the beef wrap, the falafel rings, and the delicious lentil soup. Everything was absolutely amazing. The restaurant was very clean with ample seating. If you're near ASU West and like Middle Eastern cuisine then Casa De Falafel is a must! read more

Can I give this place more than five stars?? Because they deserve it. This is an order-at-the-counter kind of place. The gentleman working noticed us studying the menu and was extremely helpful, even offering a few sample bites before we decided. We ended up getting a chicken wrap, a falafel wrap, hummus and baklava. Hands down, the falafel was my favorite. I asked for the orange hot sauce on the side and it was fantastic. Definitely spicy though so be careful if that isn't your thing. The falafel was flavorful and moist. The wrap came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, cucumber and sauce inside a tortilla, then grilled. Absolutely perfect. Fresh and delicious. My partner's chicken was also great. Fewer vegetables than on the falafel wrap. The chicken meat was super juicy and perfectly seasoned. Both meals came with a soup that was a nice addition. But people... hear me out.... The baklava. SO. FREAKING GOOD. Perfectly flaky and the right amount of sweetness. We added it on as an impulse buy while we paid and it ended up being the star of the show. I sincerely can't wait to go back. Thank you for a great meal! read more

This is one of those random places you've driven by for years had it on your list and just finally due to whatever circumstance finally go to and you are forever frustrated it wasn't more of a priority. Welcome to my internal struggle as this place has been on my "gotta try" list forever and thanks to my youngest daughter's valentines date request I said enough and we came. Greeted with a clean space friendly faces and walls of accolades for the food, particularly the falafel. Daughter wanted to try the falafel as did I so we ordered the Alien fries with falafel and the chicken shawarma plate, food all came quickly and smelled amazing. We dove right into the fries and the falafel and we both loved it, so flavorful and delicious and the sauce drizzled on those seasoned fries so so good. My daughter went into the chicken and rice with the garlic sauce and was loving it, needless to say I crushed the assignment and we had a wonderful date together. Excited to come back with other members of the family read more

Customer service for take-out was a little confusing and inaccurate. I asked for hummus on the side of a pita, and they put it in the wrap and excluded the usual tahini spread, which I was looking forward to. I ordered a falafel pita. The Falafel itself was decent, yet the pita sandwich as a whole was a bit lacking in ingredients and flavor. Not sure if I will try again, it's so close to home though so maybe... read more

Usually LOVE this spot. Today was a letdown. Super disappointing. Treated some friends, hyped up how good this place was. We both ordered a chicken wrap; I got one, and they shared one. When we got our food, the wraps were TINY- we both requested "no tomatoes" (how I normally order), but the wraps came out like half the size. ABSOLUTE RIPOFF. I cannot justify paying as much money as I did for such a tiny wrap. I saved half and took a picture. In hindsight, I should've taken a photo of the tiny portion on the tray. It looked like a pressed egg roll. Food: delicious BUT OVERPRICED FOR THE TINY PORTION. Service: always friendly, but really guys? This wrap is embarrassing. Ambiance: chill. This must've been what I paid for- cuz the food was a child's portion. Conclusion: thank goodness I ordered some of everything- otherwise, we'd still be hungry. My friends enjoyed the flavors but were not impressed with the size of their wrap. Especially because they ripped off some of the extra wrap, which made it smaller. Doubt I'll be back unless they fix their portions. For real, I feel ripped off. Updated: decreasing from 5 stars to 2. read more

Went to this place while doing a remodeling job around the corner. Walked in when it first opened, everything was very clean and neat inside. Very friendly at the front counter. The place has a lot of seating and space. The falafels are soooooo good and fresh. My friend loved the beef pita, and the fries were really crispy and made perfect. They also have really good different flavored house lemonades. read more

Food is amazing , my good friend George took me to this place , I think it was his third day in row ! He say the falafels are to die for , true indeed they are heavenly . The place is spotless and with an open kitchen , I had the chicken shawarma plate , seasoned to perfection with rice , sliced English cucumbers , fresh slices of tomatoes , sliced pickles , lettuce , some stuffed olives , garbanzo beans and a wonderful soup, the sauces are spicy and full of flavor not just hot sauces. The hummus that comes with the falafel is amazing ! I just recently moved closed so i will be there at least three times a week maybe more. The baclava are super great as well ! I can't say anything bad about this place ! Lot of pride in the presentation and quality of food ! I've told some of my customers at my restaurant tonight to come patronize your place ! read more

I have had friends and colleagues speak about Casa de Falafel so highly for so long that I finally got the opportunity to try it yesterday when a friend in the area met up with me for lunch. As someone who works across the street at the ASU West Valley Campus, this was such a convenient location for a tasty restaurant with good service! While they are known for their falafel, they have some other delicious meals. I chose to order their chicken schwarma pita, which came with a side of their own lentil soup. Not typically a fan of lentil soup, I gave it a try, and it was fine, though the pita was wonderful! My friend ordered the same. They ask you if you want the meal spicy. The least spicy is medium. I chose no spice while my friend ordered his meal with medium spice. I have a feeling I will try the falafel next time, which I do typically really enjoy but the chicken schwarma pita was so good, I'm not sure I will be ready to try something else yet. But I keep hearing that their falafel crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and made fresh each day. The service was good though I didn't really need much assistance once I placed my order and picked it up. Some of the tables sat with trash on it for quite some time (including the table we ended up sitting at and throwing items out ourselves). I think this is a restaurant where you're supposed to clean up after yourself. We noticed that on the menu, they shared some deals they had including Falafel Friday falafel bowls for $2 off on Fridays. You can also purchase their own recipe of lentil soup in packages to make at home for only $2.99 per package. In addition to lunch and dinner options, they have takeout, delivery, and catering as other options. In fact, they have an app and a loyalty program for ordering online called Falafel Restaurant Rewards. On the website it says, "Join the Casa De Falafel Rewards Program today and start earning points every time you order! Enjoy exclusive perks, discounts, and surprises as our way of saying thank you for being a loyal customer." I created an account before heading over and received 100 points for signing up. You can start earning free food at 500 points. I was disappointed as I didn't see it said it was for online orders online, and when I asked about it, I was told there is no loyalty program for in-person orders. This won't keep me from coming back but it certainly is a missed opportunity for Casa de Falafel. You can learn about the restaurant and sign up for an online account by going to https://cdfalafel.com. While the restaurant considers itself "convenient and affordable," I've noticed that the price is higher than a lot of the nearby restaurants. Even with this in mind, I certainly recommend this restaurant to others. I look forward to coming back again soon and perhaps trying to order food online. Perhaps I'll even order falafel! read more

very friendly. very helpful. VERY TASTY. When we're in Phoenix area it will be our go to place. Thanks.

Surprisingly good. My wife spent time in the Middle East and commented that this is one of the more authentic tasting Middle East restaurants shes been to in the Phoenix area. She was speculative, being in a strip mall and having "Casa" in the name, but it exceeded her expectations. read more

Wanted to enjoy this place but the falafel rings were the best thing we ate that we ordered. For the chicken shawarma bowl, I'll have to give a 3. Flavor was just ok and I don't think we had much protein. Mostly rice, fries, and sauce. It doesn't come with any pita bread but you can order some for $1 each. Service was efficient and smooth. The ambiance looks well-maintained and clean which is a plus for me. read more

Food is super fresh and tasty. The falafel is genuinely the best I've had and the tahini it comes with is elite.

This was the best falafel I've ever had! Service was terrific, gave us samples to taste. Nice clean atmosphere!

The most delicious meal - my family enjoyed every bite. We loved the falafels, protein bowls and the hummus and already look forward to coming back again. The staff are amazing too! read more

Food here is always amazing. The beef shawarma is one of my favorite things to get. The falafel in every form, shawarma, plate, etc is FANTASTIC. The service is always amazing, no matter who is working the front they are always so nice and friendly. The ambience is very relaxed, they can get pretty busy, but if you decide to dine in you will still have a great time. They had deserts that were new and amazing!!!! They were a peanut butter delight! read more

Casa De Falafel is a spotless Middle Eastern restaurant. It is easy to get to but not visible from the road. It's in an alcove. It is well equipped, clean and serves delicious food. Gastronomically, it is divine. First, some words about the hardware. Inside the odorless/spotless Men's Bathroom, there is a changing table. The indoor dining area had two high chairs. The outdoor seats were empty, but all tables were equipped with "buzzers" to call you when your food is ready. The lentil soup is full of flavor. Thick and warm full flavored lentil soup accompanies most dishes. It can be a meal by itself: 12 oz. for $4.50. Falafel rings, which look like donuts, sell, with your choice of Vegan Tahini or a Mango Pickle. The rings come in mild, medium or hot. The medium rings are piquant to someone who enjoys very hot food. Falafel Tacos (2) are served on a rack. They are laden with tahini over lettuce, which lies above the falafel. That arrangement shelters the warm chewy tortillas from the tahini rain. The tacos keep their texture. Someone else at the table had the Eastern Salad. That comes with four ounces of Lentil Soup. The salad was too large for them to finish, but they did love every bite of it. The menu lists all the ingredients in the salad. Casa De Falafel serves serves chicken and beef shawarma. They also have other veggie variations on a Middle Eastern theme. They are all posted on the menu, and on the hand out which is below. It is good. It is better than good. It's better than five stars. I take out the sixth star, the invisible sapphire star. Its great food, prepared creatively. My rave is not mine alone. Look at the menu/brochure, there is a list of awards. Vegetarians, Carnivores and Omnivores, you have got to try this one! read more

Order with uber eats. Falafels and wraps. They came with lentil soup. Lentil soup is flavorful but a bit bland. Falafels looked fantastic but aren't crispy. Wrap is just ok. And they forgot to include condiments that I selected. I believe the whole meal would have tasted better with them. Without any of those it all felt bland tasting read more

Who doesn't love a great story? The owner is an immigrant who moved to the US in 2015. He originally opened shop in a gas station before moving to a bigger space in 2021. I had heard of CDF before. It has been recognized as the #2 falafel nationwide and Yelps #5 restaurant in AZ. S/o yelp squad. I ordered the chicken Schwarber sandwich which was simply amazing. I added spice inside as well as garlic sauce. I dipped it in vegan tahini and had a small 4oz lentil soup as a part of a meal. I genuinely enjoyed everything about my experience. The two guys working behind the counter were super friendly as well. And Bonus: they have Barques red cream soda (see pic). read more

When you eat here they seriously make you feel like family. The place is spotless clean and the food is amazing. They make the best falafel I've ever tasted and I could eat them by the bucket lol Highly recommend the falafel sandwich which comes with their lentil soup which is equally amazing. Their chicken shawarma is good as well but I prefer the falafel. Get a side of them too because you won't regret it. Their sandwiches are enough for two meals for me which is nice. I'll be back soon to support a local small business!! read more

Food was amazing! They weren't a kidding about how great the falafel was. Definitely coming back here again when I visit the ASU campus. Also the personnel was very kind and let me know that it is cheaper to order through their app rather than DoorDash for online orders. read more

I had a great and filling meal here! In my opinion you could easily share the falafel plate with someone else. The falafel was nice and crisp and I liked that they also provided alot of tahini. It's right nice to ASU West so it's a great spot for college students to stop by. They offer different vegan options such as falafel wraps and sandwiches, which I am definitely looking to try the next time I come here. read more

Casa de Falafel is hands down the best falafel we've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was Ali. Ali was amazing: welcoming, kind, and clearly passionate about the food. He took the time to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel like family, not just customers. You can really tell when someone loves what they do, and it shows in both the service and the food. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality falafel with incredible service, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back again and again! read more

Be extremely careful if you order pickup through their website. They will automatically add a 20% service charge to the top for solely pickup service! Asked the manager about when I picked up at 6:45 PM, and she knew nothing about it. B.S. read more

This place rocks. They have THE BEST FALAFEL I've eaten EVERRRR! They are super crispy, spiced just right and fluffy inside. I usually purchase 10 at a time with their vegan tahini. The employees are super friendly, efficient and will answer any questions you have. I usually order in house for take out and never have to wait long at all. They have some vegan options and a few gluten free as well. Their lentil soup is delicious and can be purchased on Amazon. Their menu is pretty straight forward and the restaurant is nice and clean inside. Please give them a try and get your falafel on! read more

Casa De Falafel - Middle Eastern Cuisine - Eastern Salad (vegan/gf) - Vegan Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I was in the area for the day on business and stumbled upon Casa De Falafel on Yelp due to all of the positive reviews. Wow, five stars is well deserved. It was obvious that I was a new comer and was walked through the venue and provided suggestions with a falafel sample. I was hooked. It was so light, not heavy and greasy like at the rest I have tried in Arizona. They won me over with the delicious falafel wrap and a side of their creamy litnal soup. I will forever blend my litnal soupd at home. If I were a local of this area, I would be come a regular. Oh, I also took home a bag of their pre-made falafel rings that you reheat in the air fryer, and they are just as amazing. I am currently eating them as the added protein in a salad at home. Sold!!! I will make ita point to drop in everything I'm on the west side of town. read more

My first experience at Casa De Falafel was phenomenal. As I approached the counter, I was told by the kind and gracious gentleman my falafel experience would change after trying the one they offer... For a split second, I thought, "That's a good way to intrigue someone to buy and try..." but NO, he turns around for a mere moment with a sample and my eyes lit up, I finished my order "beef Pita," (of which was extremely flavorful, tender, and fresh... the pita had great consistency and it all disappeared in seconds) but sorry, I digress, there I was, grabbing the strawberry lemonade and walking towards the table when yet again, the kind man asked, "how is the lemonade?" To which I respond, "great!" He then proceeded to pull me an additional cup, "please, try the others as well, they're homemade!" A mango pineapple and a passion fruit were awaiting my pallet, and soon enough... they too, were gone. The falafel was absolutely incredible, crispy outside, soft and flavorful and not dry, that's the big one for me... the falafel was perfect... there was only one thing wrong, so I asked... "can I order four more!? and some baklava too" (to take home of course...) I did sneak a bite of the baklava though, again, so tasty, perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sticky, and the right size to end the meal. Casa De Falafel is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu... they will definitely be the only place that I go for a falafel craving... THANK YOU! read more
