Great and authentic, love the falafels and chicken here. Another awesome "hole in the wall" place. Well worth the visit, their prices are reasonable and service is kind. Highly Recommend it. read more

This place is a hidden gem. They are great, the food is delicious and affordable. They are quick which helps for on the run lunches. I've purchased catering from them as well and highly recommend. There's a little sitting spot to eat which I do but it's definitely more of a pickup type of place. read more

I ordered the chicken shawarma meal with rice tabbouleh, hummus, garlic sauce, and pita. It was delicious! Exactly what I was craving for lunch. The employees were very friendly and the store itself is nice and clean. I will definitely be back! read more

I like Falafel King. I think I went there first over 13 years ago, so they sure have the "staying" power. The reason for that is most likely that the food is good. I have never had the Shawarma, only the Hummus, Baba, Fattoush, Majadra, Tabbouli and, of course, Falafel. All are good and tasty. The value is also good and tasty, especially considering the freshness and portion sizes. I guess when you run a going restaurant for a long time, you learn that price/value are really the key to longevity. The prices ARE reasonable and the portions are generous. In my exprience, the service is fast. My only little criticism is that the place needs a new coat of paint. The interior is tired, it strikes one as being a tiny bit 'dingy' when you walk in, but it IS a take-out place. (They do have a few seats inside.) If you like Mediterranean take out, then this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

I decided to give this place a try. I've been avoiding this place for a little while, since my husband was not keen on trying it. It looked too small and non-descriptive for him to have an interest in. I want to see if it was all that it's been hyped up to be or not. I ordered the chicken Tawook dinner as well as the chicken Shawarma dinner. It comes with hummus, salad, along with the meat. It's a small spot, narrow, lots of different would accents on the walls, maybe reclaimed cabinets and furniture pieces? They accept master card or visa here only. It looked like a one man band today. The man that took my call, put together my order and cashed me out. The entree containers looked so full, one for the meat, rice and veggies and one smaller container for the salad and the hummus. It's filled mostly with rice, as I noticed once I ate a few pieces of meat. I tried a few pieces of the shawarma meat, seemed decently flavored. The chicken Tawook meat were big chunks of meat, rather dry and didn't have much flavor to it, hummus and the garlic butter helps to get it down. My husband said his shawarma meat wasn't bad, had some flavor to it, a little dry. What he really liked was the garlic butter, it was super creamy and not as pungent as normal. read more

Awesome falafel salad! Delicious food, huge portions, and great fresh ingredients! Their homemade food, attention to preparation, and fresh produce make this an excellent restaurant for vegetarian and vegan take out food. Great hummus, tabouli, and baba ghanoush! read more

People love this place and I've now tried it twice and I just don't get it. The food is mediocre and it's kinda pricey too (but where isn't lately). I'd describe the ambiance as "filthy". People who work there are Ok. Meh. read more

Great old school falafel in a no-frills joint. Carry out is very fast, parking is always easy.

Great falafel, good sized portions for the price, I've liked everything I've tried from this place. Nothing mind-blowing but I keep coming back. Service is hit or miss and it's definitely a take-out vibe inside. read more

SUPER friendly service. Great falafel sandwich. Also, if you buy 3 pieces of baklava, you get a 4th for free ;)

Ordered delivery via GrubHub. Quite disappointed because they deliver it to my neighbor who thankfully was very nice to notice and delivered it to my door. However I guess it's not the restaurant's fault so I don't blame it on them. I ordered a Trio Combo that consists of yoghurt salad, lamb kibbee, and meat grape leaves. The portion is decent for the size. The yoghurt salad was fresh but the pita was too flat and dry. The lamb kibbee seems small and is kind of greasy but the tastebis pretty good. The grape leaves taste as expected--good, although not blowing. Overall, I think it's not bad at all. Perhaps if I get a late night middle eastern food craving, this would be a consideration read more

Great food great atmosphere , the food was great and good the service was on point and the decor was the best

I have lived near this place for so long but only just tried it yesterday and I am in love. I had an Uber Eats coupon so I decided to give it a shot and order two meals (I tend to do this so I can have something for the following day). I got the chicken shawarma on hummus - AMPLE portion of both, so flavorful. I also got the beef kafta dinner with hummus, salad and rice. AMPLE as well and really fresh. The garlic sauce is different, but really tasty. I'm really impressed. The food was super fresh, delivered quickly, priced well and it's my new obsession. read more

Falafel King has gained much respect from me, so I must update my review. The last stops were all very good and I must say my shawarma on the last visit got me jonesing to go back. I'm going to say I enjoyed it more than bucharest. So I see more trips to the King and I'm looking to try more of the menu and I love that shawarma. read more

I grew up in Dearborn and am used to really great middle eastern food. Since I don't always feel like driving an hour RT to get carry out, I've been on the hunt for a good replacement. Falafel King isn't the place. All the food we ordered was disappointing--the fattoush salad dressing was bland (it didn't even seem like the usual zingy dressing), the falafel was tasteless and the hummus was boring. It was all a huge flavor disappointment. read more

Placed an order and they were finishing up the falafels as I walked in. So crispy and fresh. The team working were polite and efficient.

Love this place. They give you a ton of food. Prices are good. Food is always good. Trying to fill the character minimum at this point. Usually get chicken shawarma. Rice is good. They always give bread and salad. Hummus is homemade I think. It's good. read more

Wonderful service and a HUGE portion of food! The owners are so gracious and polite, they gave me a side of garlic sauce without charge. The portions are super generous and the food was so yummy. My only wish was that the falafel had a little more flavor and that they had more seating inside the restaurant! Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend and definitely plan on returning. read more

The staff is friendly and the food is always fresh and tasty! Not a place to really sit down and eat, but great for carry out.

Great service great food !it's like eating homemade Lebanese cuisine. We come from the west side of Michigan for the food.

I have been going here now for over 12 years. HANDS DOWN the best Shawarma and Falafel you will get here in Michigan. And I've tried them all.. also, great meat pies, and garlic sauce too.. Not to mention, amazing service.. read more

It's a great hidden gem! If you love Mediterranean food then you've got to give them a try & trust me you won't be disappointed. It's my second time here & I had to share my thoughts & give them 5 stars, from the moment you enter they greet you & help you with the menu & all of there choices, he even offered me a sample of there spinach cheese pies while waiting for my food which was very nice of him & it was delicious. The food was made to order, fresh & hot, NOT like many places that are around in the area where the food been sitting for God knows how long!! Definitely coming back again & will be trying out the dinner entrées & possibly catering in the near future. read more

We love Middle Eastern Food and Falafel King does an exceptionally good job with it. Until recently, I worked in Dearborn, the Arabic food capitol of Michigan (largest Lebanese poplution in the US). Fallafel King is one of the few places I've found in Oakland County that meets the standard of "Dearborn Quality" read more

This place slaps. Deadass. Yelp wants me to write more in order to post this review. So, I'll just repeat myself. This place slaps. Deadass. read more

We get carry out from Falafel King 1-2 x per week. Tony at the front counter is always super nice. The food is the best shawarma I've had in this area (Al Ameer is a little better due to fresh baked pita bread but they aren't close). Go to Falafel King and support a local small business. The beef kaftka pita sandwich is off the charts. I crave that stuff. Excellent hummus & baba ganooge. My son loves their beef/lamb shawarma and lintal soup. Nice people, very good food, cheap prices. Go support this nice local business. You won't be sorry! read more

Great place since the day it opened Never disappointed..Best sandwiches Way better than Bucharest Grill read more

Sandwiches were passable but the meat inside was incredibly dry. Ordered Mujadara as well and received a pre-made container, straight out of the refrigerator. Not fresh or hot. Save your money. Gross. read more

Fattoush tasted like a bag of salad with pita chips on top. Salad dressing very vinegary. Missed the mark totally! Chicken Shawarma sandwich was ok. Will not go back. read more

Great food, friendly staff and excellent value. I wish it was a tad closer! I typically order the falafel king or queen sando and love the little homemade savory pastries. read more

Love falafel king's delicious food and the people. Our favorite is the combo tray with rice. Babaganosh rocks it.

Cheap, quick, flavorful, and healthier for you than a Chipotle burrito -- what is not to like? The king falafel sandwich is really tasty, as is the chicken shwarma sandwich. Really well seasoned, good vegetables (onions are standard!), fresh pita breads, and fresh ingredients! I walked out of there with two sandwiches and paid about $7! Luckily, they take credit cards even for pathetic transactions like my own. I had low expectations for fast Middle Eastern food since my last experience with this was at La Pita on the WSU campus -- so I had low expectations despite the glowing reviews. I was pleasantly surprised! I'll be adding Falafel King as my places to eat on Woodward! read more

I'm going for a stretch, trying beef schwarma at Falaffel King. Verdict...maybe stick with falafel. When I think of schwarma, I always think of the rotating rotisserie. One of the reasons why it's so effective is that it keeps all the flavor and moisture in the meat. When it's thinly sliced and put onto a grill, say goodbye to all the juices. This is the case for their beef schwarma. The flavor with the spices were fine, but because it's thin and on the grill, it turned out pretty dry and chewy. The rice underneath wasn't bad, spiced well, but also a little dry. The salad that came with it had a typical "fattoush" dressing and it probably was the best part of the lunch. It also came with hummus which was creamy and pretty good flavor. Another disappointment, the garlic dressing. Another yelper pointed it out and they were absolutely right. It tastes like ranch dressing mixed with garlic. I usually wipe the garlic sauce clean, in this case, it's going in the trash. Don't worry, I'll recycle the container! read more

I didn't go here for years because from the outside it looks like a dump - seriously it looks like a muffler store or something. But my buddy swore by it and I finally went about 2 years ago for the first time. It is super duper good. The hummus is nice and garlicky and the pita was the right amount for the job. He got shawarma which I don't eat, but he says it is the best. Being a bit of an Arabic food connoisseur I like to think I know my stuff - and this was tasty. FYI last time I was there the seating was counters and stools. It isn't like a restaurant with a server, more like a lunch counter. read more

I decided to check the place out for lunch after reading some favorable reviews by other yelpers, and all I have to say is you won't be disappointed. The food doesn't get any fresher, the service is quick, and it's delicious. Get the Falaffel King lunch, it's the bee's knees if you're famished or just get the Falaffel King wrap if you need a quick bite. I'm hooked, and will definitely be going back when I get that falaffel craving again. read more

One of the best shawarma's I have ever had. When we got there, we were unsure what to get, and the worker there helped us decide, and even offered free meat pies, to try them out. Whenever I visit Michigan, this definitely is a place, I am going to visit. I really wish their was a place like this in Houston. read more

Outside of Dearborn, it often feels like you're getting imposter middle eastern food. It's probably because I'm spoiled with the best. I stumbled across Falaffel King and boy am I happy I did! This location is one of my favorite carry out spots. Their portions are huge, and their falaffel is the tasty! I usually get the falaffel dinner or the chicken schwarma dinner. Either one of these meals can be easily split between two people, or in my case I take the left overs to work the next day! The schwarma comes with rice, tons of chicken, a mini fattoush salad and of course some delicious hummus. The fallafel has a bunch of veggies in place of the rice to make those cute little falaffel sandwiches. Their garlic sauce is very tasty, but definitely not the authentic stay-away-from-me-i-have-horrible-breath garlic sauce. In Royal Oak, this is the place to carry out for middle eastern cuisine! They have a small lobby area, but it's probably best eaten at home. Service is friendly and fast. Make sure to ask for extra pita! read more

Takeout counter was setup in a way where the plexiglass divider was more for show and did little to protect against the spread of COVID or other airborne/"droplet-bourne" illness. At least one person was not wearing a mask in the kitchen (despite COVID still being a concern). Counter staff was respectful, but not particularly welcoming Food was quite good. read more
