    Falafel Inc made its name in DC rather quickly this year, and now it's crossed the river to claim a spot on Crystal City's bustling 23rd Street. The storefront is simple and spotless, but the real gem? A parking lot. On this strip of bars and restaurants, that's practically a luxury upgrade. I dropped in during the Friday lunch rush and was greeted with genuine warmth--a vibe that carried through as more diners streamed in. My falafel pita was generously filled, but balanced enough to avoid the dreaded messy‑meal collapse. The falafel itself was moist, crisped just right, and packed with flavor. The zaatar fries stole the show: herbal, aromatic, and addictive enough to make you rethink plain old salt. And the sauce bar? A playground of flavors, letting you customize every bite of pita or fry with a new twist. What makes Falafel Inc more than just a cheap‑eat hero is its mission. They partner with the World Food Programme to help feed Middle East refugees. Great food, great value, and a cause worth supporting--this spot proves you can eat well and do good at the same time.

    Such a happy friendly casual eatery! The manager at the front counter greeted us with a Big welcoming smile.. The music is upbeat and the food is so so good! I've been to Falafel, Inc in North Bethesda, MD and thought that was great. This place just opened a couple of weeks ago and are standing out already! Way to Go!! And the manager heard that we were celebrating a birthday too and gave us each a co.plimentary box of baklava. So good! Love it! And I would go back again...:)

    The Experience the manager provided my family and i was A+. I came in hungry and excited to attend the yelp event, and left satiated and happy. The food - delicious, the staff - attentive and friendly, the atmosphere - welcoming and unique. If you're in the area, please give this spot a try.

    Quite literally the best falafel sandwich that I've ever had. Very generous portions couple with warm and energetic customer service made this the ultimate experience. I also love the Zaatar Fries. They have quite a few sauces to sample with for your dining pleasure. Finally there is a cool and cozy lounge area for you to chat, chill, and chow down. I LOVE it here

    I must say that this location has changed my opinion of the restaurant after a poor encounter at…read moreanother location. This location was much better and their staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a large location and who wouldn't want to grab a bite here and then find a seat at the beautiful waterfront. I ordered the falafel bowl with a side of hummus. Let's just say that for $5 that bowl was extremely generous in quantity and the fresh quality of each item was AMAZING! I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl. The side of hummus was sinfully good! Something I wouldn't mind ordering again to enjoy with their delicious pita chips Overall, I don't think I'll be visiting any other location but this one because they were fantastic!

    The food is probably about 4 stars, the service is one, at least sometimes, and the overall…read moreexperience therefore is a solid avoid for me. If there are a few people they can manage, but if several groups come in, despite having about four staff they turn out sandwiches once every few minutes. It took over 15 minutes for me to get a simple falafel sandwich. They don't have a system to tag and manage orders with the numbers and they're not clearly calling out numbers so you can miss it. As I waited for my sandwich a guy wrapped another sandwich then left it on the counter touching a dirty wadded up napkin--yuck! Seating is all I raise, a few standing tables and a few tables with seats. Beverages like a small can of san pellegrino were about $4 so that offsets the inexpensive falafel. There's definitely better falafel in southeast.
