    Falafel wrap
    Kiran S.

    Stopped here twice. First for the bowl which was unappealing. 3/4 of the bowl was made up of spinach. I heard the wrap was better so went back for the falafel wrap to give it another try. Although the sauces helped to enhance the flavor the overall wrap tasted bland. I gave it two tries before rating. I guess it is $8 bowls $5 wraps so maybe you get what you pay for.

    Awesome experience here great service and food. I got a schwarma wrap it was really tasty with tender chicken and a crispy wrap around it . I loved the savory flavors mixed the freshness of the vegetables. It is very generous portion wise. Inside the store it is small with a bunch of outdoor seating it is mainly a to go shop but it is nice. They have a ton of sauces with to go containers

    We were the first customers there so they were still setting up and put out the sauces shortly after we ordered. They were sooooo nice. They gave us two tote bags and we'd ordered the wraps and fries, all delicious!

    The Chicken Swarma wrap was really good! Was presented inserted in an elongated paper container that was quite convenient to slide it out and back in, for handling. The chicken and the garlic sauce was on point and I found myself looking to order another one, before I could even finish it. Also got a Falafel bowl with greens and Falafel sandwich which were both tasty and made with fresh ingredients. The small counter was just enough space to rest your food on it, for a quick bite or to grab some sauces to go. The order was taken with a smile, and I felt welcomed and satisfied with her ability to help explain the different choices. I know I will be back to try more, and grab another Chicken Swarma wrap too!

    Where this place shines: the sauces

    This is counter-serve takeout only with a few tables outside the store. Located conveniently right outside the National Zoo entrance, a fantastic place to grab a quick bite if you're planning a zoo trip. The falafel sandwich at $5 each might be the best deal in all of DC. Good size pita stuffed with about 6 falafel balls and plenty of shredded veggies. On the counter inside the store are about 8 different sauces ranging from mild to spicy. These sauces can make every bite taste different but regardless, the falafel are fresh fried & tasty (though falafels are pretty simple & basic). A few other items on the menu but hard to beat a $5 sandwich nowadays.

    How can anyone complain about a $5 falafel sandwich? :) I love how they have all the sauces for me to add to my falafel. There are plenty of pickled vegetables in the sandwich too. It was so delicious.

    Five star for food and ambiance. Seating is outside, was nice temperature and weather tonight. Food was delayed, so three star for service.

    Chicken wrap

    I went to culinary school. The service was good. The food was not. It's nice that they have a selection of sauces that are free, but I didn't love any. The wrap was oily and left me with a stomach ache. It tasted less like a middle eastern wrap and more like a panini without cheese. Everything was melted together. It comes automatically with garlic sauce which grossly overpowered the wrap. It was 95% minced chicken and 5% pickles. I've been to Egypt and to Israel, Falafel Inc's seasoning is not good at all. Make a base of cumin, tumeric, coriander, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder, it'll elevate the flavors. Definitely not worth $14. Why do you charge $14 for a wrap and $8 for a bowl?

    No better deal in the city than the $5 falafel sandwich. Delicious and cheap and filling. Their rice bowls are also 10/10.

    The falafel Bowl is very good and an economical choice. In general, it is a good place to pick a healthy choice.

    The place was bustling on a Saturday afternoon. I stopped by for a falafel sandwich, falafel bowl,…read moreand fries...and I was blown away. Here's why: - Quality: every item was fresh, and the falafel was not dry! I usually don't opt for falafel bc of how dry it is, but this one really wasn't! It was filling but moist and delicious. Also, the veggies and sauces paired well to give it flavor and texture. Again, usually not a fan of falafel, but I was this time. - Service: Food was pretty quick and the staff were really kind considering how busy the shop was. It took about 10 minutes to get the food. - Ambiance: This is a grab and go place. They have some high tables to quickly scarf down your meal or package your to go bag, but I suggest walking around Georgetown area to eat your food elsewhere. I will absolutely visit again and bring vegetarian friends. Such a bang for your buck!

    I arrived just before closing, and the owner was gracious enough to accommodate me, which I…read moreappreciated. I feel bad writing this but I believe Writing Authentic and honest review may inspire the owner to level up his food . That said, the food quality did not meet expectations. The falafel was overly firm and dry. The Greek salad lacked freshness--the lettuce appeared past its prime, and the tomatoes were soft and aging. Overall, it felt like a basic tossed salad with feta rather than a well-composed dish. The hummus had a smooth texture, but the flavor suggested a blended oil rather than a clean extra virgin olive oil profile. The pita was the strongest element of the meal--fresh and well prepared. Additionally, the use of styrofoam containers detracted from the overall experience. In summary, while the service at closing was considerate, the food did not reflect what I would consider high-quality or authentic Greek cuisine. .

They make and fry the falafel right in front of you and make everything to order. Love the sauce bar that you can grab from and they have all of the different flavors you need right there. They have bags and to go containers that you can get at any point. Service I do think this might be one of the slower locations, but they are always efficient. They do have a kiosk for you to order from. Ambiance In Western Market so no assigned seating, but might be the easiest location to sit down at because it is a food hall. There is so much open seating for you to find a seat at and the other locations are lacking in that.

The service was SUPER fast--perfect for a busy lunch/dinner rush-- and the price was very reasonable. The falafel itself was crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and everything tasted fresh. I also tried their za'atar fries, which were seasoned perfectly and totally addictive, sch a great side! What made the experience even better was knowing that every meal helps feed refugees in need. If you are looking for a quick, tasty, HEALTHY, and budget-friendly meal with a mission, Falafel is absolutely worth stopping by. :)

There's a lot of seating indoors but can be a little hard if you're looking for a quieter atmosphere. They also have a couple of seats outdoors. The pastries were almost barren/nearly sold out, but definitely saw and have had previously the chicken shawarma pita sandwich which was delicious! This time I ordered the Halawa Honey which was a bit too sweet, but it was a nice twist of flavor and you could taste the tahini. My friend ordered the Baklawa Mocha which was a little too icy and I felt had too much milk. It drowned out the other flavors which was a bit disappointing.
