Was in West Seattle with a friend visiting the west Seattle farmer's market and finally tried Falafel Salam. This place has been in my list for awhile. Was definitely worth the wait. My friend and I both ordered The Hesitator Combo. For a first time visitor it was a great choice. You get: Falafel, chicken, shawarma, beef gyro, Arab salad, purple slaw, pickled veggies, organic hummus, dolma, tahini, fermented mango sauce, garlic aioli & homemade pita. The protein is so flavorful. Generous portion loved the Arab Salad, purple slaw and pickled vegetables adds brightness to the platter. Oh and did I mention their fluffy homemade pita unlike any other pita I have had. Great vehicle to soak up all the flavor from the meat. Excited to enjoy my leftovers!! Definitely will be back read more

Tried Falafel Salam in West Seattle and overall it was a solid experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita and the chicken shawarma plate. The flavors were definitely there -- well-seasoned, good portions, and everything tasted fresh. The pita sandwich was the standout for me. The chicken was juicy and the toppings balanced really well inside the wrap. The plate was good too, but it didn't hit quite the same as the sandwich -- I think it could use a little more sauce or punch to take it to the next level. Could also cut the chicken and meat to smaller sizes read more

First time here as I was visiting a friend in the area and I love falafels. I ordered "bowl style" with yellow rice and "red" spicy sauce. The falafel balls were fresh, hot and tasty. There were pickled veggies on the side that went well with the rice/falafel. The mint lemonade cooled the fire of the spicy red sauce. I should have ordered a pita as an add-on. Next time! Staff was professional and friendly. I went back to the counter for a baklava and the person gave me an extra saying "they're kinda small today so have two!" The baklava had some kind of candied citrus strips that I've never seen on that dessert before, but it was tasty. read more

Amazing Falafel, house pita, fusion pita, Greek pita, everithing is delicious! Definitely worth a visit! read more

They have a great bowl option. I always get the bowl. The service is very good. The food is good and you can buy all the sauces. I really like being able to buy a bottle of the sauce for use at home. My only gripe is the pita is way too big. They make thier own Pitas and they are just way to think. read more

Very disappointed in their food. We ordered chicken swarma bowl, lamb gyro bowl and hummus. The lamb was like nothing I have ever seen before and tasted like cardboard. The chicken was overcooked and dry. Everything tasted like it was prepared in advance. The hummus was watery and the pita doughy and tasteless. To top it off, the food was over priced for what they delivered. We do not recommend this place. read more

One of my favorite places for Mediterranean cuisine in the arThe combo plate is the perfect choice if you just want one of everything, and believe me, you will want one of everything. The purple salad is my favorite, I love the cabbage texture with the dressing they use. The staff are always friendly and encourage the best choices, like grabbing a sweet treat before you leave. read more

Great freshly made food, nice quiet ambiance, quick service. Love it when the windows are open on the front

LOVE their falafel platter and fries. The owner and operators are very friendly and welcoming. Today we had a taste of their unique summer cooler with watermelon and some of the best feta cheeses I've ever had. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Falafel Salam - LOVE their falafel platter and fries. - Caterers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ehhh. The problem with this restaurant is that if this place existed in let's say, Dearborn, MI, it wouldn't compare. Not by a long shot. This restaurant serves what I would call "granola Mediterranean food," where the emphasis is on wholesome ingredients. When you walk in, you're greeted warmly, the to-go fridge is stocked with a variety of healthy Mediterranean bites like hummus and olives, and the menu is portion-size friendly. The menu includes single-serve sandwiches and combination platters. On my visit, my friend elected to get a salad and I ordered The Hesitator combination platter. It came with chicken shawarma, gyro meat, rice, hummus, house-made pita bread, stuffed grape leaf, and a few accoutrements. The shawarma was OK, and nothing I would write to Dearborn, MI, about, but the stuffed grape leaf and the spicy gyro meat were delicious.I would return for the gyro meat. I wasn't able to eat the meat at the restaurant, but I came home and re-heated it, only to slap it on a homemade egg McMuffin the next morning. This was a hit in our house, and I would love to be able to buy mass amounts of the gyro meat for this purpose only. Its spicy and its gamey, like lamb meat should be. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come to West Seattle to eat here, but if you're craving Middle Eastern food in West Seattle and don't want to travel to the burbs or Midwest to satisfy it, then this could be just the place for you. read more

Always excellent quality food! The service is quite fast and friendly. I recommend the purple cabbage and chicken shawarma.

Love this place! The hesitator is my go to- I'm a sucker for variety- but the sandwiches are delicious as well. Definitely get the hot sauce read more

Falafel Salam serves the best falafel in Seattle. I've done take out from the West Seattle location a few times and have ordered food from the food truck. Each time, the falafel is served to perfection and the garlic aioli sauce served with it is amazing. I have mixed feelings about the hummus and baba ganoush. It's good, but it's not the best I've had in the area. The chicken is tasty as well as the fries. In the future, I'll skip the rice bowls. It's best to order the falafel salad or falafel separately with hummus and baba ganoush on the side. I wish Falafel Salam opened a location in Redmond. read more

Best falafel this side of the Atlantic. It's gluten free and vegan as well. They do the tahini right. This is legit middle eastern yum. Support small business , Salam! read more

Update to my earlier review: Guys, I like your food. You know this or I would not come to your truck. What I do not like is being served luke-warm to cold food. My order today, was not "to temperature" which is AT LEAST 140F. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/article/29/following-food-safety-temperatures.html read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The guy jay here was so cool and nice he made sure I felt like I was at home such amazing guest service from jay. I loved all the food I tried and the pomegranate drink he gave me to try. So so good and if you haven't been here then you need to go ASAP. read more

This place is fabulous. Flavorful, organic, great vegan/GF options. The staff here are so nice and kind. 1000% recommend

I have now been to Falafel Salam a few times, tried a few things and they now earn a perfect rating. This place rocks! Friendly atmosphere, great falafel sandwich, (love the spicy purple slaw) and my wife loves the chicken schwarma rice bowl. My previous gripe with the hummus not being seasoned enough, I added a little salt, problem solved! FS is now one of my top lunch choices in West Seattle. We will see you soon! read more

No doubt,this is the best falafel place in Seattle. The food was fresh and everything was clean. Great and fast service. Highly recommended read more

I sometimes get the spicy house falafel on Tuesdays when the food truck is at Westlake center. The falafels are very good and the spicy sauce they put on it is very unique and delicious. And the falafels are 100% vegan! They also have a container of peppermint tea that is free for the taking while you wait in line for your food which is nice. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Two major turnoffs: the music was LOUD, and I mean so loud that the lady taking my order got it wrong, and it was a simple order. I didn't even want to eat in the place because the music was so loud. And the chicken shawarma just isn't good. The chicken was fatty, the "spicy" flavor is not spicy, the pita is too much bread, and the whole thing is just... squishy is the best word I can think of right now. I've had it twice, so it's not an issue of consistency. It was gross both times. But of course that's just my opinion. Also, my husband tried to ask one of the cooks a question & he was dismissive. However, the garlic fries are OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing. And I don't even like fries. They use this magical garlic sauce that makes my mouth very happy. I'll be back for fries. I would've given the place 1 star if not for the garlic fries. read more

Tasty, organic, and very filling! It was my first time having a pita sandwich here in Seattle and it was delicious! Great for kids and adults, with opening seating and some window barstool seating too. The staff is super friendly and they remember all their regulars and treat them like family. Come by if you're around! You won't regret it. :) read more

Delicious new restaurant! I ordered a for here and a to go order. My to go order they made while I was eating in order to keep it fresh. They were able to accommodate a vegan diet as well. I'll definitely be going back. :) read more

Really great food - so fresh & great quality. The spicy gyro was just what I was hoping it would be!

Fresh and delicious falafels at their new location on California Ave. Owner is highly spirited and welcoming. Ambience is casual and very clean. The halva mousse I had for dessert was a first and I loved it. The falafel was very moist throughout and the pita bread warm and freshly baked it seemed. What a wonderful breath of fresh healthy air to West Seattle, home of the greasy hamburgers and bar food. read more

Good and good for you. I'm so excited to have this available in the junction more often than just Sunday Mornings at the farmers market. I got the salad option with purple slaw and lamb meat. I was worried about the amount of slaw when I got my plate, but it was so delicious, I quickly forgave him. Quality/Fresh ingredients, simple menu, and such nice people. They deserve your business! read more

This place is great! I ordered the combo plate with all three proteins and I can say loved them all! The lamb is tasty, the chicken was full of flavor, and the falafel was delicious. Bonus! the owner handled my sons chickpea allergy with a smile. read more

I love this place. I have always ordered take out from here but it is a nice place to sit and eat as well. Feels good to have a nice falafel sandwich now and then. The staff is great as well. read more

Such a welcome addition to West Seattle. After enjoying their food truck for months at farmers market, I am so happy they opened a restaurant in West Seattle. The food was even better in the restaurant than on the truck. So fresh and delicious. The owner and staff there are such great people. Really welcoming and generous! Love the vibe. The falafel is soooo good and the chicken shawarma is divine. and a nice atmosphere inside. We will be back!!! read more

Falafel Salam lived up to the great Yelp reviews. We had the spicy falafel pita sandwich with the purple slaw and the spicy chicken shawarma pita with the purple slaw to go. The falafel was better than the chicken though both were tasty and large. Decently priced with a small number of tables, we would go back for a quick, filling meal. read more

Some of the best, freshest, most convenient food in the city. Just as good as it was in the truck all those times at the West Seattle Farmers market. The Hesitator combo is our favorite and has everything you need along with fresh, soft pita. This is our new go-to spot in the Junction! read more

Falafel Salam catered our wedding with over 200 guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the execution was superb! We've heard countless compliments on the food, such as; "that was the best wedding food I've ever had!" Shimi really does make the best falafel in town. If you need great food for a large crowd that offers many gluten free and vegetarian options then you should contact Falafel Salam! read more

So sad but the falafel was awful. Doughy mushy bread with goopy cabbage and mayo - zero flavor and not pleasant. Bummed!

BEST FALAFEL CUSINE IN SEATTLE. This food is seriously crave-able. The slaws and pickled veggies are made in house. Portion sizes are perfect and flavors are very authentic. They have a large menus with great options and combinations. You're sure to get this delicious food served how you like it. They even have a cooler where they sell their house made sauces and pickled veggies. I simply can't get enough Falafel Salam in my life! The staff is awesome too. If West Seattle is too far to travel. Keep an eye out for their food truck! You can find them in Westlake Park downtown on Fridays! read more

This is the brick-and-mortar location of the awesome food truck from the West Seattle Farmer's Market. Excellent prices on basic falafel and schwarma sandwiches, and the Hesitator combo is terrific. Good flavors throughout and a nice, welcoming interior. A great addition to the Junction - it will definitely go on our takeout list! read more

This is some of the best food I've ever had. I always get their Purple Falafel Sandwich and have them make it extra spicy. The pita is so pillowy, the falafel is crispy and full of flavor, and all of the slaws and sauces go together perfectly. The greek fries are incredible too. I went here for brunch once and ordered the Sabich (fried eggplant). I thought I was in heaven, it's seriously such fresh, flavorful food. I'm glad I live just around the corner! read more

This place is absolutely delicious. The pita is thick and fluffy, the falafel is bursting with flavor and cooked to a perfect crispness, and the lamb is chock full of spices. I get the hesitator which is perfect if you have trouble picking a menu item. Can't wait to go here more! read more

Falafel Salam was the talk of the town after they catered a 180+ guest Bar Mitzvah luncheon for us. The food was abundant, fresh, colorful and incredibly delicious and they customized the menu to meet all of our needs. I can't say enough about Shimi and Falafel Salam. Great to work with, fantastic food--simply the best! I'd hire them again and again. Don't hesitate, book 'em! read more

Awesome to work with - and amazing food! Hired them with their truck for our employee lunch outside - super friendly crew and the feedback from the crowd was nothing but good things. We will definitely find an occasion to work with them again sometime. read more
