this place has had consistently good food for over a decade. Their owner is a true gentleman, and the quality is still as good today as it was 10 years ago maybe even better this place is unpretentious and beautiful. Give it a shot. You won't regret it, especially for catering it's another level. read more

Came here with my wife. The place is small but has decent amount of seating. There is a public parking not in the back and street parking is available as well. The service was great and pretty quick. I thought the hummus was on point and the chicken pita sandwich was pretty good as well. Definitely will be back soon. read more

We were in the area looking for something to eat and decided to stop in here. It's a pretty small place. We got the chicken shawarma sandwich and a small side of hummus. Service seems to be quick, our order didn't take long and we noticed other people ordering to go was pretty quick as well. The sandwich was really good. Full of flavors and spices! I would come back to get it again. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the hummus, its lacked flavor. Maybe some salt would have helped read more

You can't go wrong with ordering the Hut Big Combo platter. 2 Chicken kebabs, 1 beef kebab, and kofta with wi the chicken or beef shawarma with salad, rice or fries and bread. We shared it between 2 people with plenty of leftovers to bring home. The meat was so tender and juicy, especially the chicken kebabs and the salad was so fresh. Definitely worth the price and the family that owns it care about their customers. read more

Not the spot for me. The food was pretty bland in my opinion. The falafel itself was decent, not special. With so many great Mediterranean spots in the area, I'd say there are better options to choose from. It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't memorable. Probably won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Really good! I had the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken was perfectly flavored but it was a bit overcooked and dry. It was right before closing so I won't hold it against them. The rice was really flavorful and fluffy. The salad was fresh and delicious. The service was good. I would return again! read more

This is based on a takeout order, so I cannot speak to the service of atmosphere. But I sure can talk about the food. I read the great reviews about this place, and since I didn't feel like cooking I decided to try it. I'm glad that I did. We ordered the Hut Sampler, the Big Hut Combo, a side of Fries, and Baklava. The Hut Sampler comes with hummus, baba ganush, tabouli, grape leaves, and falafel. This is a very generous portion. Every element was delicious, but the stars were the baba ganush and falafel. I mean it is the falafel hut, right? No dry crumbly falafel here. Moist and flavorful and delicious! And the baba ganush was the best I've ever eaten. The Big Hut Combo was also extremely generous. Chicken, beef, shawarma, and kofta served with rice and salad. These were all very good, with my favorite being the beef. The chicken was not dry at all and was well seasoned. The Fries were also particularly crispy and delicious. The Baklava must be homemade, because it was probably the best I've ever had. And you get three big pieces in an order. All in all, Falafel Hut will go in my takeout rotation. Great food, fair prices, and large portions. read more

Our grandchildren goes there and recommended to us. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. My hubby's gypro was a bite tart for him, and my chicken screwers were dried. read more

Delicious, generous portions, and great prices! Highly recommend the gyro, falafel, pita, and hummus. Friendly, fast service! Found this place recently and will be a regular customer. read more

For authentic and reasonably priced Mediterranean food, this is my absolute go-to spot! Their chicken shawarma sandwich is divine - bursting with flavor and full of chicken! I also can't complete an order without the hummus and pita, definitely some of the best in the area! I highly recommend this place! read more

I miss you! I no longer work in Montclair, and I miss you. The Caesar salad with chicken is the best deal in town. Delicious. Homemade croutons. Everything seasoned well. Currently eating a far less appetizing imitation. Sigh. read more

This is the spot for me and my family. So good, reasonably priced and friendly! We've supported them for years and always happy with the food and experience. read more

Just had the chicken shawarma pita sandwich and was genuinely the best Mediterranean wrap I've ever had. Well done.

Good food reasonably priced. Great take out. Friendly staff. Quick service. Definitely recommend. Lamb pita gyro is delicious. Falafel pita sandwich is delicious. Easy 5 stars read more

First time visit. I'm still learning how to spell a dish I love--Falafel. Falafel Hut is a small place mostly for take-out of Mediterranean food with 20 cafeteria-style hard chairs. We dined in. A minute walk from Upper Montclair train station. We found street parking (meters until 7 pm) at 6:30 pm. Order at the counter and served at your table. Enjoyed an appetizer of Baba Ghanoush (roasted eggplant) with pita for dunking. Entrées of Falafel Platter including side salad and yellow rice, Falafel pita sandwich, and Spicy Philly Cheese Steak Wrap. There were no leftovers. Tasty and freshly prepared. Items came out from the kitchen when each item was ready. Friendly staff, though interaction with staff was minimal. No itemized check, so trust that they do the math correctly...not a good practice. On this first chilly day of October, the heat had not been turned on. Tip: Believe the place is BYOB, but no signage. Will bring own next time. Between 3.5 and 4. Will return. read more

Always delicious falafel & salads Easy delivery and pick up Also the kabobs are good I've heard but I'm semi vegetarian & love all the veggie options read more

Wow this is a find! Located on a beautiful little quiet street in beautiful Montclair, the food is a.ma.zing. I asked why the greens on the falafel wrap were SO fresh and was told that they have very little storage space, so they go to the market multiple times a day--and it shows. Plus, the falafel is not bean-based, like other places that are not focused on quality, but rather there are more vegetables in it...it's cooked perfectly and tastes (did I already say?) a.ma.zing. The hummus and warm pita was also fabulous and the baklava is made there and not the gummy kind you often have, this is perfectly crisp, and just sweet enough. Go here now. read more

A great, delicious way to support a Palestinian owned business! The food (especially the Mista Salad with flafel + lamb pita) are incredible. Complex but fresh flavors and everything is so fresh. All their dishes are loaded up with crisp veggies and delicious sauces. The mista salad is heavy on black pepper and it just has the most incredible flavor, the flafel is also always fresh and crispy on the outside but fluffy and warm on the inside. Take out or eat in or on the sidewalk it's a great choice in the area where there are too many choices to choose from. The prices are also great, everything is about $10-15!! A $10 satiating healthy and fresh lunch is possible :) read more

As anyone can see from my previous review and from all of my check-ins at Falafel Hut, I'm a big fan. Their food is all incredibly fresh and the service is fast and friendly. Despite my many visits I'm a creature of habit, so I rarely deviate from my usual order of either the falafel or the gyro, and when I say "rarely", I really mean "never". So today when I decided to toss it up a bit and try their Kafta Kabab, there was a noticeable pause behind the counter and everyone looked up at me as if to say "really?" It was actually pretty amusing. They know me so well. For those not familiar with Kafta, it's a skewer of ground beef and lamb mixed with fresh parsley, onions, garlic and spices, which is grilled over a flame. As with many of the items on the menu, the Kofta here is their own recipe. I chose to have the Kafta Kabab in a whole wheat wrap (it's usually served in pita). It included lettuce, red cabbage, onions, tomato, pickles and tahini, and it was delicious. If you like gyros, you'll like Kafta (maybe even more). The Kafta has a firmer texture and because it's made with fresh lamb and beef the flavors are more dynamic. I will definitely be having it again. Maybe next time though I'll shock them once more and try their Lamb Kabab (which also looks very tempting as it marinates in yogurt and spices). As always, Falafel Hut did not disappoint. read more

One of my favorite places to eat whenever I'm back in Montclair. Very consistent Middle Eastern food. I normally order the falafel, but I decided to get the Hanoosh (Chicken Shawarma) this time around. Per usual, Falafel Hut did not disappoint. The chicken was delicious and the portions were enough for a second helping. Strongly recommend Falafel Hut if you are ever Uptown with an appetite. read more

The food was well seasoned and delicious. Given the name of the restaurant, the falafel is a must. Delicious! My salad was super well seasoned and my husband loved the chicken pita sandwich he had. The only downside was the service. The front desk guys definitely wasn't happy about working, not sure if was that day only or it he has a bad mood. read more

Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love Falafel Hut. We had my sister's baby shower in Montclair and I was in dire need of a restaurant that caters. I came across Falafel Hut through their great reviews online. We decided to place the order with Sam and it was the best decision. We had 70 people at the event and every single dish was devoured! We got a variety of items: 1. Chicken and lamb kebabs: the meat was SO fresh and juicy, and SO super flavorful. Highly recommend! Lamb at most restaurants can be tough, but theirs was still so tender! 2. Falafel: it was so flavorful, not dry or oily at all! Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians enjoyed them! 3. Hummus, Baba Ganoush, and Tabouli: their hummus is so smooth, the baba is delicious and the tabouli added the perfect freshness. The service was wonderful, and everything was delivered perfectly on time! I really appreciated Sam taking the time to work with us on exactly how much we would need, and giving us his helpful insight. It made a world of a difference. HIGHLY recommend if you're in the area looking for a great, fresh meal and if you're looking for catering, DO call falafel hut! read more

This place is a hole in the wall in Upper Montclair. The service is good, you can tell this business is family owned. Food is amazing! It's a hidden gem in Montclair. read more

Amazing falafel! We ordered over the phone for take out and it was ready in 15 minutes. We had falafel in pita, a chicken shawarma and lamb kebab and an order of fries (which is standard for us anywhere). Every thing was excellent! All the sandwhich were packed and were definitely a filling meal. The fries were also nice and crispy which doesn't always happen when doing take out or delivery. It's also a very cost effective place. We paid just over $30 for everything. We haven't tried other falafel places yet, but I think this will be our go to! (I didn't get a picture because I ripped the bag and created a bit of a mess on way in) read more

There are a lot of Mediterranean food restaurants in Montclair but this one by far is the best. Our go to spot for lunch at work

Everything is delicious, especially the falafel. But the baklava is amazing! The staff is very attentive and the service is efficient.

So I just had the lamb cube shish kabob platter and YUM. Just as yum and it looks, even the rice has flavor . The Tahini was also yummy and on the money. the salad was delish as well. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather. I love that I could sit outside :) read more

Reallllllyy good falafel and amazing labne here. The hummus was fresh delicious and super creamy. The prices are fair. We got the falafel wrap and sandwich and we loved both. The chicken shawarma was drenched In tahini which made the sandwich fall apart so that's why one star was deducted. Overall the service was quick. For all halal eaters the meat is not halal. read more

Disappointed. Usually the food is great and simple, but today the falafel tasted like old grease and were slightly burned. The fries were hard, rice was meh. I was too tired and hungry to go back an complain. Smh hopefully better next time. I'd still give another shot. read more

Always fresh and delicious. Have been ordering out from this place at least 6 years. My favorite Mediterranean takeout in the area

Nice place for falafel, chicken, meals, sandwiches. My pet peeve is the older short stout gentleman who walks around with his phone and then fixes your food. He NEVER gets my order correct. I live 20 minutes away and when I see him preparing my food, it's just down hill for me. For that reason, I don't visit as much. However, when done correctly, the food is good. Just oversee and run the operation. Leave preparing food to the young people. I'm old and saying that. read more

Great food and customer service. Also very convenient for Montclair residents. Highly recommend.

Chicken Shish Kebab, Kofta Kebab, and some baba ganoush all for a little over $15, you can't go wrong. Their chicken shish is always well seasoned, grilled with a nice char, and juicy and tender. Kofta kebab packs some good flavor. The baba ganoush was a little tangy for my taste and lacked the smokiness of the eggplant. That won't stop me from returning. read more

I love this place. I've been going to Falafel Hut for more years than I choose to remember. The food has consistently been fresh and flavorful. Portion size and value are also on point which is kind of rare for Montclair. My go to dish is the Georgie platter which is shredded seasoned chicken cooked well done on a bed of seasoned yellow rice and humus. I know it doesn't sound like much but it's delicious. A few other faves are the stuffed grape leaves, tabbouleh, spinach pie as well as the Jerusalem platter. I highly recommend this place and look forward to my next visit. read more

You will love this place if you are looking for clean, fresh and well seasoned mediterranean food! I've been coming here for the past 3 years. The food is consistent. They are well knows in the area and been here for a while. The owner is hands on and always friendly and sincere. As I am writing this review , I am having the chicken and beef cube combo. I grew up eating Syrian and Armenian cuisine. The flavors here are focused on Lebanese cuisine which is very similar to what i am used to. The portions are generous and the salad that comes with it is delicious! I recommend falafel hut over any other mediterranean restaurants in the area. Try it out, I recommend it! read more

One of my go to restaurants. One of the best in the area. Love the Greek salad with falafel. Never disappoints.

What an amazing find! We were craving falafels and hummus, and came across all the great reviews. Glad we came to check it out. It was on a Sat for lunch. Inside were a few tables nothing fancy. We started with the Jerusalem appetizer. Delicious. It's a must. Our table had the Beef Hannosh, Falafel pita and the Georgie's Platter. Everything tasted delicious with tremendous flavor. It will not disappoint. And it's a byob. We will be back. read more
