Wanted to like this food truck, but sadly it's a no for me. The service was fine - friendly and courteous guys. There wasn't a long wait, but the food was very disappointing. I wasn't starving so I opted for a wrap instead of a platter. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap (spicy). I went back to my office to eat my lunch, only to end up throwing most of it in the trash. It wasn't spicy, the pita tasted old, the yogurt sauce was overpowering, there was too much lettuce and stuff inside the pita, making it difficult to eat. I might give them another chance and get the platter but I'm not in a hurry! read more

Falafel Sandwich was pretty good! I would definitely recommended. The service was pretty good as well! It was very comfortable seating, and very clean restaurant! read more

Oh my falafel!! This food truck is the GOAT!! On a whim tonight I decided to pick up a plate or two to add on to our instant pot chicken at home after grabbing a beer at Saints Row. I went for a lamb salad, falafel platter and sides of falafel, hummus and baklava. The lamb is well seasoned, bite sized and scrumptious. The veggies in the salad are incredibly fresh- so delicious. The salad was drizzled with an amazing tzatziki sauce and some hot sauce. The falafels were small and crispy- just perfect! The hummus is so creamy and delish! I must have this again!! read more

District Falafel comes to my work for "Food Truck Tuesday" every once in a while. I love falafel, so I'm usually interested in this as a lunch option. I've tried the Falafel Platter as well as the Sweet & Spicy Harissa Falafel Sandwich, which is served in a pita. The Falafel Platter is served with a "salad" and rice as well as pita and falafel. The food is pretty expensive at $8 for the sandwich and $9 for the platter. It beats cafeteria food, but I've been to many other falafel places that are far less expensive and taste better. read more

Today I had a wonderful surprise and delicious lunch all-in-one! Bethesda is new home of District Falafel and if you value the opinion of a true foodie- go there. Located next to Ledo's in the Montgomery Mall block, this authentic and absolutely delicious restaurant is your new "must have" for middle eastern fare. Eat now, thank me later. read more

I tried the food from this truck today and all I can say is....meh. It was okay, and that's all I can think to say about it. I did as requested and texted my order in, yet they still got it wrong. Not off to a good start. The gyro I had was rather boring, no real seasoning in it, and the rice tasted as if it had been cooked days ago- very dry and tasteless, clearly it had been cooked and stored for a while. It tasted just like the steamed rice you get from a Chinese restaurant that you microwave to heat up a few days later. Luckily it only cost me $5. I won't be visiting this truck again if it returns because the diner next door has much better gyros. read more

SERIOUSLY! THE! BEST! GYRO! EVER! I ordered the gyro platter with lamb over rice and a side salad. The lamb was cut into chunks and was caramelized on the outside. It was so AMAZING! I feel like a boy band groupie drooling over crooning....it was so good!!!! Had to YELP it so I'll remember it for my next visit to DC. read more

I got the Lamb Gyro Salad and asked that they subbed Roasted Peppers for the rice which they happily did no extra fees either. Everything was delicious! Now the reason for 4 stars is because 1, They ran out of the Yogurt Dill Sauce. This is a staple when eating Gyro so I'm disappointed. 2, They didn't give me my pita to go with my salad. Yes I ask to substitute the rice but don't assume I didn't want any carbs at all and omit that without asking! Unfortunately I'm at work and can't go back to the truck I'm pretty sure if I'm ever held over 16 hours at work and hungry with no dinner I'll eat there again. It was delicious read more

Amazing food, friendly, family owned!! Their falafel tastes like how my grandmother used to make it! (Started out as a food truck so you know how passionate they are in making their food) Can't believe they're so close to us - we used to have to drive all the way to DC to get amazing falafel! read more

Man D.C., your food truck selection is awesome! This meal was probably one of the more complex meals I've had come out of a truck. I ordered the lamb gyro plate that comes with salad and rice. It was more than enough food for $10. Each component had a lot going on. The man preparing my boxed meal really took his time to make sure everything was perfect. The perfectly cooked rice with peas and corn was drizzled with something like olive oil. The salad was placed in the to-go container and then the olives, then the pepper, then the dressing. It was like he composing a symphony. After each step, he would pause to make sure it was to his liking and continue. A little of this, a little of that. And the attention to detail showed. The white sauce on top was also delicious and really made the gyro meat and rice go together. read more

The District Falafel food truck came to our neighborhood out in Franconia Virginia today. Their customer service was supreme. I had to write a review and spread the word!!! I had the lamb gyro mild spice and a falafel salad. It was amazing! I literally came back to the the vendor to let them know the food was delicious and I loved it! The food was nicely portioned and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be purchasing from them every time they're in our neighborhood. YUM! ~Bonita~ July 2020 read more

They have the best falafel ever. Also their chicken with rice and white sauce are very delicious.

Meh. Maybe they are still getting their act together, but our takeout order wasn't handled well, and the food was definitely lacking. First - they left off the babaganoush we ordered. Next, we asked them NOT to put dressing on the salad - but instead to put it on the side. Unfortunately, they ignored that request, resulting in a wilted, soggy salad. The side of hummous was literally tasteless. I've had LOTS of hummous over the years. This was like wallpaper paste - devoid of any taste. Tzaziki wasn't bad. Overall, for this kind of food, I think Naz's Halal or Cava do a much better job. read more

Their food truck stopped by my complex today, I wasn't sure whether to order or not, because of so many non positive reviews... Glad I didn't let that stop me. Food was delicious! I order 2 items to share , the Chicken platter and the Grilled Lamb platter with rice. Each had their own salad. Chicken Gyro had a spring mix salad with feta and a vinaigrette which was nice and the lamb had Hummus and a small middle eastern veggie salad (small diced cucumbers, tomatoes , etc) with a light vinaigrette. Rice wasn't dry. Each meat had a dill sauce on top and the amount of meat you get is impressive for the price. The high of the meal was definitely the Lamb. It was melt in your mouth and fork tender. It also was done very quickly, only waited a couple minutes. Note: Pita is not included, it is extra. Wish i had taken photos.... but it was gone before i could ^_^. read more

Pretty average truck - both food and price. DF falls short of three stars due to the wait and lack of customer service. The wait was much longer than expected for a food truck - I got the Classic Falafel Sandwich, probably their bread and butter, and it took about 5 minutes. I know 5 minutes isn't long but there was only one person ahead of me who also got the same thing. Customer service issue because the dude was pretty clueless. He was calling out my order even though I was right there - and he didn't even know that I ordered from them. Not a big deal, but goes to show that he didn't even really bother making eye contact, or anything - I was just another ten bucks in his pocket. Falafel was average - can get anywhere else. dmo out read more

District Falafel - Food Trucks Near Me

I don't normally do reviews, but this is one of the best gyros or falafel I have had in the area. Period. the Falafel tastes like my buddy's mom used to make and the gyro meat tastes like real meat with good spices - not the grey mystery stuff of other places. I always go when I see they are at Metro Center and take my coworkers with me. Their toppings are fresh, and when I told them I like it spicy, they weren't afraid to really give it some heat. read more

I got the falafel wrap from a District Falafel truck by Metro Center. It was a let down. The pita did not seem very fresh and the toppings were meh. Updated from two to three stars after giving it some thought - the food was fine, just not spectacular. I prefer more pickled things in my falafel. read more

I'm always looking for the best falafel and I haven't found many better that this food truck. I don't find them as often as I would like but I think it's just bad luck read more

I had the classic falafel sandwich and it was excellent. I have made falafel from scratch and theirs are as good as homemade.

I ordered a falafel and hummus platter. Disappointed. Watery, tasteless hummus, crunchy but tasteless falafel, and iceberg lettuce salad. Folks don't even try anymore. read more

Agonizingly slow service, mediocre food. No line to order, but there was a 20-minute wait even with two people working the in the truck. I had a chicken gyro platter and the quality and portion size were ok, but probably not quite on par with Tasty Kabob, DC Greek Food, etc. I won't be back. read more

District Falafel is part of a log line of food truck along the street in the Smithsonian area of D.C. The wait was a little long....but it was worth it. I ordered a chicken falafel, it had just the right amount of everything on it. read more

Love this food truck! The falafel wrap and chicken shawarma wrap are my go to orders. The portions are generous and everything is always so fresh, with nice, healthy veggies that leave me feeling full but not too heavy. The service is always fast and friendly. I highly recommend it! read more

Very good food! Fast service! We ordered the chicken gyro and the falafel burger. Both were full of flavor and worth the money!

had a chicken shawarma wrap and side of falafel from the food truck. It was busy, order took ~20 mins but that's ok. Wrap was fresh, plenty of chicken, but it had a lot of lettuce, not much pickle. Overall, it was good, but not great. On the other hand, the falafel was excellent; really fresh, hot, tasty, really made the meal. I'll definitely order from them again, but, probably skip the chicken and just get a falafel wrap! read more

Tried this truck out today.I ordered the falafel tacos and I must say they did not disappoint. Very tasty!!only gave four stars because they should give three tacos instead of two but that is just me being greedy. Will definitely eat from here again!!! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my delicious lunch today with District Falafel. I couldn't help myself from ordering 3 entrees - I did share! The lamb, hummus, chicken, falafel AND salad were awesome!!! Everything was fresh, cooked to order and tasted 100% homemade!!! What a treat on this cold and blustery day. The price point was ideal . Also, I texted my order which made for a quick and easy lunch!!!! I hope to enjoy District Falafel again very soon!!! Thank you for such a yummy lunch. read more

Fantastic food! I visit this truck a lot and I would recommend the Falafel Taco (a vegetarian option that has falafel as the main protein in tortillas) or the Chicken Gyro. This truck clearly cares about the food quality. It's always great and I can tell that all the sauces are hand made. The sandwiches are large and always fill me up and the platters have healthy sides which I completely appreciate. Over, I highly recommend this food truck! read more
