Falafel Place on Central Park Avenue is a popular choice for freshly prepared falafel pita sandwiches. They serve all vegetarian Middle Eastern falafel and hummus served with assorted vegetables and sauces. All delicious! We ordered our falafel platter to go. Servers are friendly and prepare your orders individually. **They are now neighbors to the recently opened Chick-fil-A next door with long lines ** Thank you

Good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Great falafel, pretty big and filling. The babaganush was fresh and smoky. Small tiny place with a few tables. Staff is cheerful and friendly.

Stopped in for a quick, fresh bite after searching for places in the area of Ridge Hill. I was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem, amongst the many strip malls in the area. Too be fair, I've had better Falafel, but honestly, the reviews of this place, service, and food, all lined up for me. Fast, fresh, some what crispy falafel, accompanied with delicious tahini and hot sauce; yess please! Would definitely stop in again. My picture does this sandwich no justice. Don't be fooled if you walk into an empty restaurant, they get lots of Uber eats and customer pickups. Tables were clean and comfortable.

Great price for the quantity. The menu is short, but there are ways to customize. I'd say I've never had such a stuffed pita sandwich - in a good way! It was a little wet, but the flavors were excellent. I needed a fork by the end, but that's a-ok. We got Turkish coffee, too, which was authentic and kept us peppy for the rest of our errands. (I didn't actually see it on the menu, so you might just have to ask if there's coffee.) Cute outside seating even though it's in a parking lot. They dressed it up really nicely.

Finally got around to picking up a falafel sandwich at the Falafel Place on Central Ave in Yonkers. They were busy with several people in front of me and while I waited to order there were several who walked in with orders they had placed online. There were a couple of tables available to dine in. There was sanitizer when you walked in and all staff were wearing masks and gloves. Besides the Falafel sandwich I picked up a lentil soup and side pita for my husband. What a difference between freshly made pita and the one from the supermarkets! My husband said the soup was ok. It was a bit watery but it had nice flavor. The Falafel Sandwich was very good. Made in pita bread with hummus, falafel, salad (cucumbers, etc) and tahini for $7. The sandwich had a slight kick and I'm a spice wimp so it would be mild for most people. I enjoyed it so will return when the Falafel mood strikes again! You won't go hungry after chowing down on this very flavorful and delicious Mediterranean staple.

Run- don't walk- to get the falafel at this place. In an unassuming little storefront on Central Ave in Yonkers, where there are alot of other food options around, is this little haven for your favorite fried chickpeas. The pita is pillowy soft. The falafel are fresh, herbal and everything you want in a crunchy bite. They fill the sandwich with plenty of falafel, tahini and a super-fresh salad of tiny, chopped-up cucumbers and tomatoes. And don't be shy when using their hot sauce - it makes everything zing! This will most definitely be a stop I make again and again! I'll also be getting more of their lemonade...

Have been here last year in the summer when they were giving free samples - was great then. I loved it but it's not on my way to anywhere so haven't been back since. The place has a very small menu but it's big on flavor & it's vegetarian & vegan friendly - no meat dishes. I was in the area last week so stopped by, ordered the Falafel Sandwich X4 & a side order of tzatziki - to go. The sandwiches are big. The pita is not your store bought pita. It's fluffy, not skinny. The falafels are crispy on the outside & nice and moist on the inside. Loved the green sauce on the side - nice heat. My son & I had to finish the sandwich in two sittings. My spouse & other son finished them in one sitting. I could just eat the tzatziki by itself. I will make sure that this place is on my way to somewhere in the future

I went twice this week to the Falafel Place in White Plains. I was in Yonkers and decided to give this Falafel Place a try. They're in a mall, with plentiful parking. The service was excellent and the food was just as delicious as their White Plains location. I had the 3 sides for $13.50- French fries were four stars and the perfect falafel balls and flavorful lentil/rice sides were five star. I chatted the clerk behind the counter and found out the original Falafel Place is on the Upper West Side. I'm glad I'll be able to enjoy such falafel in my NYC. I'm sure they'd be a hit in my Queens Forest Hills neighborhood, in case they're looking for additional expansion sites!

Last year was the first time I tried this place. This review is about my experience here & the stars are based on the business ethic not the food. This place is very clean and inviting. Its a Kosher establishment. My regular order is always a falafel sandwich with pickles & beets. The falafel itself is tasty, moist not hard, its not dry or overly crispy, but soft & well seasoned. The pita sandwich is generously stuffed with falafel balls, cucumber, tomato, tahini, with a green herb sauce on the side. Initially, I expected them to put pickled vegetables in the falafal to add layers of flavor but its not included. And a falafel without pickled veggies leaves a lot to be desired, so soon I started to request the pickles & beets in my following orders. I really enjoy the falafel here, I use to eat here twice a week, but in the past year their price for the falafal sandwich has gone from $6 to $8.50, and now they charge you 50 cents extra for beets & extra for sauce? Im not sure why their prices continue to go up; they have a good steady stream of customers, & appear to be doing well. Raising their prices so drastically definitely makes me feel uncomfortable coming here. Their ingredients aren't organic & their sandwiches are vegetarian take out meals? Considering that they are now charging nearly $10 for my falafal, a $4 increase within a year is crazy. As much as I enjoy eating here, I will be looking for more affordable options for good falafals in the neighborhood. Halal guys is meant to opening nearby soon. Review to follow. Happy Yelping.

Very good falafel. This place is clean, quick, and food is very fresh. The pita is hot and fluffy. Hummus is very tasty. Lemonade a nice touch. The green sauce is a little hot for me but that's ok. A delicious falafel sandwich for 7 bucks is a good deal. read more

We ordered takeout for lunch. The food is delicious. Fresh and flavorful. You can tell everything is made with care. We had an eggplant sandwich, falafel sandwich, mushroom hummus, olives/pickles, beet salad and babaganush. My husband drove 30 minutes round trip to pick it up and when he arrived home and emptied the bag he noticed there was no pita in the bag. He called and the lady who answered the phone didn't care at all - which was disappointing. She told him the hummus should have come with 1 pita but the mezes (in our case babaganush) didn't. If that's the case, patrons should be made aware/encouraged to order "extra" pita for $1. He went to the grocery store to grab some. The food was great, but the distance, and the lack of concern for upset customers at a new establishment won't have us rushing back. read more

So glad we got some variety here on Central Ave. I've been wanting a decent falafel sandwich for some time now. I firsts came here when they just opened and they had a tasting. I got the falafel sandwich and Eggplant Sandwich to go, free of course. Food is very fresh. While they were making my sandwich the owner gave me samples of humus and pita chips, both of which were yummy. Definitely going to try some soup and salad. read more

Excellent falafel spot the falafels and the bread are the stars of the show. I came here for the first time since the place opened up a couple of months. I ordered 3 meze. I ordered the hummus which is definitely home made and was really tasty with there fresh baked bread. I ordered the labane cheese which is good with the herbs and olive oil on it. The 3rd is the tabouleh which had a interesting twist on the standard version I have had. Instead of burghal wheat they use quinoa and have a mix that is very spicy that you put into it which I love because I am a fan of spices food. I ordered a eggplant sandwich which was different it was good but not my preference. The falafel sandwich was perfect had the perfect texture and they didn't put to much tahini on it which would have made it a soggy mess. The bread is pure heaven. Going back here again and again and again read more

We just ordered from them for the first time. My husband had the hummus and falafel plate and I had the hummus and mushroom plate and a side order of falafel. The falafel was the best I've had in this area, significantly better than Lefteris. The grilled mushrooms was mixed with onions and was delicious. Their green hot sauce was really good. We also liked the pita, it was thick and not dried out like most pita we have had. It is not fancy but it is very good for what it is. read more

I gotta' pile on here. Outstanding! So far I've had the falafel sandwich and the eggplant sandwich. They are very different and so delicious. Best falafel I've had in, maybe ever. Hummus and health salad are spot on. First time for the eggplant sandwich. Hard boiled eggs (huh?), cabbage (what?), mango curry sauce. No way. Yes way! Hearty. Savory. The extra treat? With both sandwiches You get this green sauce that is herbaceous cilantro on the front end and nose sweats heat on the back end. It's a small amount of sauce that goes a long way. Pleasant people.

No specific adults around, as if this is a makeshift daycare. Other times, a clueless granny is having a very annoying handheld phone session in the middle of a relatively small sitting space. Hard to ignore that the nonstop blabbing appears to be only on her side, with a constant stream of loud Spanish monologue but no "listening". So, we go to the car for some quiet but the sandwich is quite messy and you better make sure you have a towel over the lap and a bib. I ordered a lamb shawarma but what I got was a veiny steak something, so spicy I only ate half before tossing the rest. Bad experience, won't be back.

The chicken was very flavorful and the platter came with a lot of it (had enough for the next day). The staff was friendly and very efficient with the service. They asked questions and worked fast to fulfill my order (I was on lunch). I'll definitely be back for more, especially to try a different meat.

This was a food delivery order from this establishment via doordash. My wife and I both had mix…read moreover rice. When the delivery person handed our bag, it felt pretty heavy. Heavy duty utensils and a ton of extra napkins perhaps? Once we took out our food and had a look at our plates, we were pleased to see a heaping amount of meat and veggies. " There must be a mountain of rice under there" I told my wife. To my surprise, our plate just had a generous amount of food. At $10.95 I would say our order is well worth it. The chicken had great flavor and was coated with spices. The lamb was cut chunky which I definitely preferred. We will definitely order again.

I came in to shop on a Friday around 5:30. The store was not very busy at all. The guy who is…read morebehind the counter is friendly enough and was helping me to find some hummus. He then said they made fresh hummus and offered me a taste of it before I purchased it. It was good so I agreed to a small container with olive oil and cut up green peppers. My wife, who's Turkish, likes to shop here b/c they sell alot of Turkish food products here. She likes it here. I also enjoy the Falafel & the Shawarma sandwiches! I like to dip the sandwiches directly into the hummus.. it's f'ing delicious!! I have to say the prices are medium to expensive here. PS there is a parking lot. But it can be confusing if it's your first time here. Afterwards, you'll figure the best way to drive into the lot.

It is the best place in Westchester to taste the authentic Mediterranean cuisine with a vegan twist. The food is freshly prepared right in front of you without preservatives or additives. Their humus has a sublime, non-acidic taste that cannot be compared to any other humus bought at a store or a restaurant. It is million times better! The falafel is also worth trying. It is prepared to perfection with the right color texture and flavor. The baba ganush is lighter than air and very flavorful. To crown it all, the pita bread is always served warm and delicious. The interior is very clean and tastefully decorated. The service is prompt and efficient. In short, Falafel Place offers delicious, healthy and nutritious food for a reasonable price that won't break your budget and make you want to come back. read more

I ordinarily don't like falafels, but these are delicious and you can tell they're freshly made on site. I've gone twice now, and so far, my favorite item on the menu is their classic hummus platter. Can't wait to try the rest! read more
