Nice casual falafel spot. The employees were super friendly and the food is fresh and yummy. The slushi lemonade was also really great on a hot summer day. The chicken shawarma rice bowl was good and I got a side of falafel as well which was super fresh and crispy. Overall great quick and easy meal with fresh flavors! read more

Falafel Republic - Chicken shawarma plate with frozen lemonade slushi..yum - Falafel Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

Worst falafel and pita I've ever had. It seemed like it was made by someone who has only ever seen photos of this cuisine.

Authentic flavors, great service, perfect serving size. We had the salad with chicken and kids pita with chicken and falafel. Everything was delicious read more

Great flavors. Simple menu. Fast service. Everything we had was homemade, even the pita bread. A amazing find. Thanks for others reviews. The mint lemonade slushy was wonderful also. A drive out of the way for lunch is worth it. read more

We went after the Ashland Mountain Challenge race and they had a bowl special. I had the falafel and it was crispy on the outside, and nice and green on the inside. The flavors were great and the pita nice and soft. The service was helpful and it was quick at the counter. read more

They are the food choice for our bike race every year and I look forward to the food. The portions are Denise, delicious, and fulfilling. I look forward to ending the bike season in style at this place and anytime we visit Ashland read more

Food is yummy and consistent. Best fries in town. Atmosphere leaves much to be desired.

To find this little gem in a strip mall is great. The food is wonderful. The pita so fresh. Choices of lamp, chicken, beef or Falafel. Everything was fresh and delicious. Inside and outside seating. Fast service. The Rose Ice Tea so refreshing. read more

Staying at Emigrant Lake on an Airstream trip, we searched for some vegan food options. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was more casual than we expected. A cross between a food cart and diner. Maybe takeout next time :) read more

Great service, great food! Employees so nice and helpful. We were visiting Ashland Oregon and had been disappointed in at all the restaurants we had gone to but then we came upon this place, made up for all the disappointment. The beets were fricking amazing too read more

Very friendly staff took our orders at the counter. First the main dish, and then (for what we ordered) the side dishes. We both had bowls, which come with 3 sides. I had an Eggplant Bowl. The eggplant looked pretty oily (as eggplant often does), but it didn't taste it at all. The eggplant were delightful, on a bed of lentils and turmeric ginger rice. I loved all 3 of the sides I got: Pickled Cabbage, Beets, and Moroccan Carrot Salad. It's hard to pick a favorite, they were all so delicious and different. I asked for the Tahini on the side, rather than drizzled on everything as they normally do. My husband had a Falafel Bowl. The falafels were a nice golden brown on the outside, and a deep green on the inside. Even though deep fried, they didn't seem greasy at all. I ate one, and it was one of the best falafels I've had. For sides he also had the Pickled Cabbage, along with the Israeli Salad, and Harrisa Cauliflower. He found the Israeli Salad pretty blah (not much flavor, so I ate most of it, and thought it was fine). He thought the Cauliflower had more, interesting spices, but his favorite was definitely the Pickled Cabbage. Both bowls were made so that you can't really see the rice and lentil bed until you eat some of the stuff on the top. That's why I included a photo after my husband ate some of his falafels. Friendly, fast service, and super delicious and uncommon (for me) food makes a great experience. read more

Really good food and fun vibe. Service was quick and prices were reasonable. I would definitely return

Worst ventilated restaurant in Ashland. Get it to-go or proceed home and take a shower.

Fresh, tasty, authentic spices and friendly employees. Every dish was absolutely delicious. 10/10

Best Mediterranean I've yet to have here in Oregon in 6-7 years. Definitely will be ordering again!

Excellent shawarma - I've tried the chicken and the meat. Fresh, delicious house made pita with super fresh ingredients. Hummus is excellent too! I haven't tried the falafel because I'm not a falafel person, lol but everything else is A+! Recently moved to Ashland from Los Angeles and this is one of my favorite restaurants. The owner is so cool too! read more

Friendly and helpful servers prepared our food. The falafel was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the bowl and its ingredients (rice, lentils, vegetables) was good. The hummus was very good. The space was a bit untidy and worn out. read more

Quality, delicious food. The owner knows how to run a restaurant and I am told he helps others in the industry. Went to lunch there the past 2 days. Yummy. read more

Great shawarma and turmeric rice bowl with hummus. Nice open space and good location, very nice employees

Fresh ingredients, large portions. Loved the pita bread. Friendly service. Surprised to find this quality of mediterranean food in Ashland.

Absolutely delicious and hit the spot, after combing through dozens of different restaurants we landed on this gem, popped in and feasted on our favorites, can't wait to go back and try more!! read more

Very fresh, very tasty. Service was great. Will definitely be back. Easy to get to. Plenty of parking.

Greek, Mediterranean, Israeli & Middle Eastern food the best. The most common & popular Gyro is a go to but getting a bowl: Ginger-Turmeric Rice, House Lentils, Hummus, and Choice of Three Sides is extraordinary with what you get. The food names may sound different but once you try it you too can find it delicious. Come and eat here. I come here more than I should sometimes read more

Really deserves 4.5 stars; I love this place and I love the way the menu is structured and the options. I'm deducting a star though for one important reason: Falafel Republic makes lousy falafel! Just the falafel balls; I love everything else. But the falafel balls are too mooshy and gummy, and they need more seasoning. Really with they'd take a trip to the middle east and study up on how to make a perfect falafel, would take Falafel Republic from good to perfection! read more

There are more options to compare when it comes to vegan and vegetarian options (I am neither). I was very pleased with my falafel bowl consisting of: 5 smallish falafel disks, yellow rice, lentils and hummus. You get to pick 3 more sides: I picked israeli salad (looks like chopped cucumber), roasted beets and quinoa for $11. It is more than enough for 1 person, a very sharable portion for 2 people if you added a side of pita *thumbs up* A solid 5-stars because not only is the food delicious and healthy, the portions are solid and don't cut corners. The to-go packaging is made from plants and guaranteed to turn into soil "in a commercial composting" read more

I was craving Mediterranean food and came across this place here on Yelp. I'm so glad that I went! The gentleman who served up our food was extremely kind and helpful! He went far beyond what I would expect for a quick restaurant, and was very patient while I was pretty indecisive about what to get. I ended up ordering the Pita with both falafel and eggplant (the eggplant cost a little extra). It was all delicious and well-spiced, with the falafel having a beautiful deep brown color on the outside. It looked great, was cooked perfectly, and tasted great! I also ordered the Rose Lemonade, which was exquisite! The food was quick to come out, as well, though the place was empty while I was there. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town! read more

My husband and I shared a bowl with the shawarma and it was the most delicious Mediterranean food we've ever eaten. I'm a fan of Mediterranean dishes but my husband is not. However, we were on vacation and that's the spot everybody chose. He was pleasantly surprised and he kept talking about how tasty it was and he wanted more. I was love to see a Falafel Rebublic in SoCal! read more

A decent menu with Pita, rice bowls, Shawarma, and falafel. My complaint is that the meat was precut and tepid, not hot, which is a food poisoning concern. They could also be more free with the sauces. Adding some chips to the order wouldn't go amiss. In these days of restaurant struggles being good is one thing but being excellent is what you need to survive. Probably won't return. read more

We placed an order online, called in to make a small alteration on our pick up time. Turns out their phone is dead. Middle age man at counter: "Yeah we don't do phone calls. We don't do phone calls order. Online ordering only." What. Then why do you have a phone number?! Why would you lie to customers, why not just apologize that your phone is not working and fess up to it? Who are the actual owners? Because you hired morons who don't care about keeping business profitable. A phone is pretty critical to a business -_- Bad service and employees despite good food. Also remember to ask for utensils, they didn't pack our orders with it. read more

Falafel Republic - Employees are morons here but foods good. Even stone cold and utensil-less. - Falafel Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

I've seen so many bowls, but never one like this! It's about time someone did this! I had a bowl with beef and lamb, roasted cauliflower, cucumbers, cabbage and quinoa. It was topped with a nice sized scoop of hummus and the meats were drizzled with tahini sauce. All amazing flavors separately, and together it was like perfect harmony... My wife had the similar but in a pita...the WHOLE PITA! Not the half pita. The...whole...pita. So I guess that's like perfect harmony with the best soundproof headphones because it's all in one...whole...pita! Yes I still can't get over that. Only thing I'd recommend would be to have a huge jar of all you can eat pickled turnips slices. Goes perfect with these meals. read more

Every time I've been the foods been great. I mean for a fast food style Mediterranean joint you can't really ask for more. Service is pretty consistent, and the vibes are alright in shop. I almost always get my food to go and have never had an issue getting in and out in 5-10min! read more

This place was a great discovery, brought back memories of a tiny falafel joint in SF it was maybe 300 square feet but there was always a line even in the rain. The Republic is much bigger with tables so don't let my memory scare you, it was the food, old school Med. read more

The food is tasty and healthy but I wouldn't say authentic. Regardless if something is tasty is worth a try. The chicken is very tender and flavorful but my favorite is the eggplant bowl. If you are looking for a vegetarian option I'd recommend the eggplant over the falafel. The desserts by the counter are usually a hit as well. The employees are always kind and helpful and will answer any questions you have about the menu. The Ambiance isn't really reflective of mediterranean vibe or culture but it is decent for a quick bite. Oh, make sure to get a side of hot sauce it is such a nice addition to the already amazing flavor profile! read more

Great food!! Will definitely be back, worth the drive from Grants Pass! Best falafel I've tasted in the valley

Driving back home to Orange County, CA we were looking for Mediterranean food and found this place on yelp. A shout out to the staff, their service was extraordinarily! The falafel and the sides were excellent. If we ever drive this route again we will stop by! read more

I love Falafel Republic. Their house made slushies, the top notch food, being able to eat a delicious dairy free whatever when I visit! Their family meal deal is excellent: a rotisserie chicken, harissa, side, and two pita for $23. Fries are outstanding, they use good oil, and the ketchup is organic. Yum. My beef is that the glove issue hasn't been fixed. Ugh. I've watched employees go from handling money to food while wearing the same pair of gloves every time I've been in there, for the past four plus visits. They'll come up front from the back with slimy looking gloves, start making food, checkout out a customer, and then go right back to food making. I'll leave out a worse part, because I had complained via email and that employee must have been dealt with (haven't seen him since, thankfully). But PLEASE teach your people to change their gloves and actually WASH their hands!!! This last time I just made sure to get the chicken meal deal so that nothing out of a package was touched. Gloves perplex me. People think they can just stop washing hands, lol. I'd so much rather see bare skin handling my food directly, right after a good scrub than this. Bleh. read more

I went here for the first time, I am a food critic and will say. This is A MUST GO!! The owner hand cures his own meats, bakes fresh bread, and even makes his own seasonings. This is a RAre gem to find. The charred pork should be featured on the next episode of diners, drive ins, and dives. Winner , winner chicken dinn read more

One of my favorite spots in Ashland!! Unfortunately portion sizes have gone down due to smaller containers.. which is a bummer because it's hard to pay $20 for a medium sized bowl or salad with a protein! But still a quality spot! read more

Easy, tasty and vegan friendly! This is a must stop for me every time I am in town. The food is delicious and the staff is ultra friendly. Most of the sides are vegan friendly and the staff will reassure you if you have questions. Something that is great and special if how they top the rice with stewed lentils. It adds the perfect touch to the bowl. Treat yourself to the fries and a slush because they are the ultimate compliment to the falafel bowl. read more
