I passed by and ordered classic falafel. It was pretty good. More important is how original the place is. It felt like one of Aleppo streets fast food shops. read more

Came here and got the chicken shawarma plate, it comes with rice, chicken, cucumber salad, and a side of pita bread. They said their pita bread is homemade but it kind of just looked and tasted like the same packaged pita bread that everyone else has. The serving size is very generous. We also ordered a side of grape leaves and hummus, their hummus is more gritty but was good. Overall, the food was fine but I've definitely had better in Boston. Some of my chicken was kind of mushy. read more

I ordered online through Eat24 and I put the pickup time an hour away from when I ordered because I had just got done working out and needed to shower. When i got my food, I could tell it had been sitting there awhile. When I finally opened it to bite into, it was definitely not hot at all. After I warmed it up, it tasted fine, but next time I'll order at the same time I'm ready to pick it up. read more

Great shawarma rollup! Must try restaurant in Somerville. They make everything fresh. My favorite shawarma place in town.

Poor Experience. Ordered a combo rollup with chicken and lamb. Way too much oil. With these wraps, you always expect some dripping but this thing had as much grease as a cheese pizza. Not what I expected at all. Only got about halfway through. read more

Decent food. I live around the corner so I come here often. A few gripes, multiple times the rice has not been cooked all the way. They have forgotten my sauce on a few occasions as well. All in all they are pretty good though, portion is decent, and their Shwarma plates are pretty well balanced with good salad and pita. I recommend if you are a local, but would not drive out of your way for these guys. read more

Delicious delivery & pickup. Idk why people complain of parking- it's Somerville, hello! We got the falafel, chicken kabob wrap, schwarma mix. It came with a ton of pita and delicious hot sauce. The salads were incredibly fresh. The falafel isn't my favorite but not due to lack of effort, just the style! We order all the time and have lived in the area for 6 years! Definitely one of the best Winter Hill gems read more

Falafel Place - Chicken shawarma roll up- SOOOOO good - Falafel Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Excellent food, but sometimes the quality isn't top notch. Seasoning on the fries is wicked good.

Have been super happy that this place moved in to what used to be a pretty subpar (and frequently shut down) pizza place. I haven't dined in, but the food we have gotten for take out has been great. The Falafel wraps are great, and the shawarma has also been a big hit. They also take Level Up - hurray! read more

Sad. I just spent over $20 on delivery from here and it was terrible. I'm not a picky eater either. Kafta kabob was dry and burnt, the garlic sauce that I paid extra for was basically just mayonnaise with no garlic and the pita was super dried out too. I really wish I could get a refund. read more

Great fresh vegetarian falafel, a pleasure to the pallet. First time here and surely the beginning of a long relationship trying to work my way thru the various interesting items on the menu. Friendly staff and a small cozy place to indulge yourself in some great food. I'll be back!! read more

Falafel Place - Vegetarian falafel.-Yum-Yum. This is great little restaurant, the food is fresh and a pleasure to the pallet! - Falafel Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Came here since sams falafel doesn't take orders over the phone when they are busy. Much better customer service and food was great!

The food was legit and the baklava was magnificent. It could be better presented thats all! Def coming back.

I was in the midst of a serious shawarma craving when I ordered from the Falafel place, and I was sadly disappointed. Positives : Chicken shawarma was fantastic! Yum yum yum. Baba ganoush also excellent. Negatives: 1. They grossly underestimated the delivery time. The estimated delivery time was 45-55 minutes. The food took 90 minutes to arrive when I live within 15 minutes from the restaurant. I should have walked and they should have called me to state that the food was going to come much later than expected :-( 2. Spinach pie tasted oddly like vinegar and was very doughy. 3. Lamb Kabob was dry and not well seasoned read more

Delicious, cheap, convenient, and they gave us free samples of baklava while we waited for our pick-up order. What more could you ask for? My husband said his lamb wrap was a little chewy, but agreed that my chicken wrap was amazing. read more

There is NO EXCUSE not to eat here. Absolutely delicious food and spot-on flavors. I love this place! It's really comforting, and I wish I still lived on Winter Hill because I would be there every other day stuffing my face. And, very friendly and inviting staff. Keep up the great job! read more

Delivery takes forever (almost 2 hours) and food arrives cold. They really need to improve this.

AVOID this place! we had issues with our order from Falafel palace. They were 2.5 hours late and on top they got some items wrongs in the order. One of the team members had to go hungry because of their mistake. When I called falafel place , they picked up my phone and then deliberately hung up on me when I told them it is wrong order and won't pick up again. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more

Mixed kabab was not fresh. Plus, they charged me twice, and I am still trying to dispute charges through my credit card company. Very disappointed. read more

We are so thrilled to have such a great go to for take out ! Love the shawma and Kebobs - it's a must ! Love falafel place ! read more

Got lamb shawarma, and my boyfriend got chicken shawarma and lentil soup. So delicious, and big portions! Definitely will be back

We ordered a Greek salad and chicken shawarma to be delivered. The Greek salad was small and nothing like the description on the internet. It came with no black olives, feta, or pita but with almost an entire cut up white onion on top. My husband took one bite of the shawarma and threw the rest in the bin. He said it was greasy, inedible, and wasn't sure it was actually chicken in the wrap. read more

I was gone for 5 months in Nantucket and one of the things I looked forward to coming back to Somerville was this restaurant. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is like going to your aunt or uncles house. They have made me fresh cappuccino for free because I saw them making it for their personal use- just to share and be warm. They have given my daughter and her friends free french fries when they have forgotten to bring money, and once when they messed up my order they literally gave me free baklava the next several times even though they apologized and fixed my order. It's not that they just gave me free stuff, though who doesn't like that))) it's that the hospitality of sharing in that way felt like genuine responses to mistakes that are inevitable in any business and the sharing of the cappuccino is just a genuine sharing out of love and community. Great food; better people! read more

I just ate a falafel wrap from The Falafel Place and I have to say this is the best falafel I have ever had, no kidding! The falafel was moist in the center, the sauce was delicious and the spices were so vibrant and tasty. This was my first time here, I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but look forward to coming back again. read more

Great chicken plates. Spicy hummus is a must. Fastest delivery in Somerville. Price is pretty good for this area as well

Good dishes, freshly prepared, and generous portions. Fantastic hummus and homemade pita chips. read more

Falafel Place - Kafta kebab plate with a side of hummus - Falafel Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

My "sides" of tahini were about 1/8th of the container, making it useless. My food was totally cold... Nothing like chilly falafel. My expectations (and wallet) were very disappointed. Save your money. read more

Falafel Place - This is my tahini extra/paid for side? Not to mention my food was completely cold. Don't waste your money - Falafel Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I was excited this place opened because I live in walking distance, and Winter Hill/East Somerville has too few Mediterranean/Middle Eastern options. I've been there maybe 10 times since they opened and have now had my last meal. The people are nice, but the food I've had is nearly always disappointing. Tried the lamb shawarma--way too grisly and chewy. Tried the chicken shawarma several times, on its own and on a Greek salad, as a rollup or with rice, but it's way too dried out and lacking in flavor. The Greek salad is unlike any other I've had: it's about 80% or 90% green peppers and cucumbers, then you get a little lettuce, about 6 olives, a ghost appearance of feta cheese, no onions, and about 5 micro slices of tomato. So, it's basically peppers & cucumbers. I've tried it several times, and it's always fresh, but just not a real Greek salad. The hummus is good--I'll give them that. So is the pita bread. But overall, most meals here have been disappointing, I'm sorry to say. read more

I usually will trek downtown to the Falafel King, but today I thought I'd give local a try. No. The Falafel plate is a cold salad with four cold falafels. I ordered a side of hummus, which was tasty although too oily and a side of rice, which was also cold and bland. I wanted a desert, and chose what looked like a delicious one. When I got home, it wasn't there. I called, she said she forgot. I was the only person in the restaurant on this cold, windy and rainy evening. Too pricey in comparison to the falafel plate at Falafel King. All the extra sides come as part of the meal. Won't be back, I hate to waste my money especially after looking at all the reviews. read more

I hate to write bad reviews about this place because it used to be our go-to restaurant for events, etc... I don't know if they have changed ownership but yesterday I experienced the worst customer service ever. I was there, trying to place a big ($400) catering order. First of all, when we walked in, the guy behind the counter was on the phone with a customer who was complaining about their order being late. The guy yells at the customer that the order was not late and cancels their order, saying, "I don't want to do business with you" and hangs up. After that we were trying to place our order and the guy says, in a very rude way, "We don't have a menu, do it online or talk to the boss." When we asked if we could talk to the boss, he said he was the boss and he did not want to do business with us. I am sooooo disappointed at the way we were treated and they just lost a good customer. There are other Middle Eastern places in the area. read more

Very nice people but the chicken shawarma is low quality, rubbery and boiled tasting. They messed up my order three times and never gave me my side I ordered as well read more

Really great Middle Eastern food run by very kind people. My husband and I go at least twice a month. The salads and pita are always fresh and the meat is always so flavorful. Definitely worth a stop by on a night when you don't feel like cooking or want to try something different! read more

Love the shawarma wraps here. So flavorful. The garlic sauce they use is like crack. Definitely a gem in Winter Hill.

Great Chicken Kabob Plate and decent babaganoush and hummus. So much chicken and wonderful rice and shepherds salad. The pita is great too! Spinach pie was awful, nothing like what you typically expect from a Greek spinach pie, be warned. read more

I ordered 2 roll ups, chicken and fish (salmon). I live within a 10 minute walk on the Somerville/Medford line. After waiting an hour I called back and was told he just left. I called again a 1/2 hour later, was told he called me an was outside my house . He didn't and he wasn't. Another 10 minutes and $25.65 later I received 2 cold roll ups! I was a first and last time customer. Need I say more? read more

This place is all around awesome. The food is always super flavorful and fresh, and the portion sizes are very generous. I can generally get two meal out of one of the "plate" entrees. The staff is very friendly and upfront about how long it will take to prepare your food (which is generally not long, they're pretty speedy). Would definitely recommend this place. read more

My husband and I tried this place last night for take out & were pleasantly surprised! Delicious falafel!! We each got the falafel plate that came over cucumber salad and with pita bread. We added a few extra falafel for $1 which we were happy we did as we were starving!! I highly recommend getting the garlic sauce they have on the side it really made it as some pieces were more dry than others. We'll be back! read more

After writing this, I got a call from the owner explaining that they were understaffed and that the meat had been cut improperly that day. He even offered to buy our staff a free lunch. While we haven't yet taken advantage of the offer, he made a big impression on us for great customer service. This isn't the first time that the lamb has had issues so while they do occasionally have off-days, the majority of the time the food is a delicious and affordable lunch! read more

Do not order from here. Terrible customer service - food was 1 hour late and the driver was the most rude delivery person I have ever interacted with. Stay away read more

Was craving some good Mediterranean food so I ordered from here because the reviews were great. However, I think the food was less than mediocre. The falafel was terrible- very sweet tasting in an odd way. The taziki sauce tasted watery and was tasteless. The chicken and lamb combo wasn't too bad, but definitely not comparable to most greek food I've had before. The plate (maybe side of falafel) came with a side of pita which I was excited to see! However tge pita was very thin and hard which more resembled a wrap. I prefer soft and thicker pita. read more
