    I didn't expect to find bold Mediterranean flavor tucked away in downtown Chambersburg, but Falafel Shack flipped the script on me--and I'm not mad about it. The place is cozy, like someone turned their living room into a street food haven. It's casual, vibrant, and smells like cumin, garlic, and magic. Staff was chill but attentive. You can tell they care about the food and the people eating it. That combo's rare. Final verdict: if you're anywhere within driving distance of Chambersburg and don't try this place, you're missing out. Hard. Go hungry, leave happy, and maybe get extra falafel to go--you'll thank yourself later

    When my sister told me that we were driving an hour to get lunch I wasn't sure if the trip was going to be worth it but boy was I wrong! everything was so good we got the garlic hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel sandwich, shawarma sandwich and Persian love cake. Everyone was amazing! The restaurant cool, a little small but cozy and has street parking.

    It was a delicious experience, the lamb kabob is tasty. The establishment is a bit small but they have seating downstairs and upstairs.

    Been here many times since 2022, nice place, good food, always has a good crowd, service is sometimes moody, Ike today for example. I generally order the same things here and in other similar places so I can easily compare any differences that may make one place better than another or not. Today I decided not to get the falafel platter sandwich and the other stuff I normally did because I didn't want a huge lunch. Instead I got just the "other stuff" (hummus, pita, tabouli) and just two a la carte falafel balls Instead of the 3 that would have been included with the platter which offers more volume of everything on the platter. That way I made my own falafel sandwich NYC style (which doesn't have pickle, etc. that this place includes for example). As usual all of the food I ordered was great. I also had the shorba soup, which is always fantastic here. My friend ordered the falafel burger and loved it. The price I moderate high on some items but not out of bounds. They make most if not all of their food in house, so it's fresh and good. The only downsides are the few wobbly tables making eating challenging, the rush of cold air that comes in every time the entrance door is opened or closed, and the sometimes moody or clueless server here or there. For example, both of us ordered hot tea because of it being rainy and cold outdoors and a little chilly indoors. We received the water and tea bags and found the tea never steped. Why? The water was warm at best. When we told the server she said it boiled. Maybe it did for a minute but it wasn't hot enough to step tea. We had to almost draw a picture that we want hot tea not ice tea in order for her to understand telling us it boiled once upon a time wasn't the answer or service we expected. I also specifically told the server when I ordered my meal I wanted the soup first then when I was done with it, I wanted the hummus, pita, falafel and tabouli. She asked me the question if I wanted just the soup first. I said yes. Instead I received the entire meal at the same time, which means either the hot stuff gets cold or the col stuff gets hot. Neither works well for me and also increases, albeit slightly, the risk of foodborne illness. I emphasized to the server I specifically asked for the soup first then the rest late. Instead of doing something about it, the server simply said, "that's the way I put the order in." I'm unsure what that meant precisely. Did she put it in the way I asked or did she put it in so it all came out together? Overall I highly recommend this establishment.

    Amazing food and hospitality. We stopped in for the pizza and ended up ordering half of the menu.

    Because of the Falafel Shack, I often go out of my way to pass through Chambersburg on my way to other destinations. FYI: Chambersburg isn't really on the way to anything for me.... That should tell you something about this place. My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken shawarma wrap. It's delicious! But, I beg of you Falafel Shack, PLEASE stop wrapping this with a thin sheet of brown paper... WHY do you do this? It makes no sense that I have to dismantle my wrap to take off the sticky soggy paper. Do you know how much of that paper I've accidentally eaten. My other favorite simple item is the babaganoush. It has a wonderful smoky flavor that lingers in your mouth.. This place is a lucky find!!

    House soup - Shorba. The pita is NOT GF (this was hub's). The Shorba is GF and delicious!

So I decided to try it rather than the usual crap fast food. When I pulled up front, I almost drove away. Don't do it. Trust me. This place is fantastic. Decor, no. But the food is delicious. I now have a new go to when I am passing through this way again. The owner recommended a lamb bone over a bed of delicious Middle Eastern rice with bits of fresh vegetables. And I also added the homemade hummus with pita bread. And my spouse had the borscht which she said was really good. So nice to see a place like this can compete with corporate America. At least judging by all the truckers eating here I assume they do.

We also got a mint ayran and salaam cola, not pictured, but were delicious. Overall, when driving through Breezewood this will likely be our go to stop!

The fries were very fried, and the thin cut falafel was interesting but didn't persuade me to give up the usual ball shape. I wasn't sold that it was the best in the area, and with the place only open for lunch there weren't a ton of opportunities to try it on my schedule, but it is a credible entry into the Bethesda lunch scene.

As I waited for my sandwich a guy wrapped another sandwich then left it on the counter touching a dirty wadded up napkin--yuck! Seating is all I raise, a few standing tables and a few tables with seats. Beverages like a small can of san pellegrino were about $4 so that offsets the inexpensive falafel. There's definitely better falafel in southeast.

It's accessible with plenty of parking nearby, including several disabled parking spots right out front, is absolutely beautiful inside with stunning black-and-white tiles adorning the counter (where you can order -- although there is also a screen-type ordering system in the entryway, as well) wall, enticing photos of all the important things in life -- those being fresh figs, olives, spices, and unfiltered coffee being poured, all along the wall above the tables with most comfortable seating! There are Turkish plates and copper pots hung above, as well, to give a splendid feeling of how food can be heartily prepared and beautifully served -- and beautifully served it is here! The caffeine-free mint tea comes in a gorgeous metal pot and is drunk from a glass glass (meaning a glass made of glass, not ceramic) with eye-catching decorations that will help to bring you into the spirit of the meal you are about to have .... The Quinoa Tabouli Salad with Falafel is spectacular! It's standout amazing, delicious, refreshingly oh-so-fresh, crispy, crunchy, yummy -- how many good-to-great things can I say about it? If I keep complimenting it as much as it deserves, you might get bored, ha ha! You might think that I'm exaggerating. I'm not. Of course, it's possible I'm biased and have tastes that just happen to align with this particular falafel spot's way of preparing things -- but I think not! I think this is objectively over-the-top in greatness! The District Salad is equally splendiferous and worth your time to indulge in savouring every bite. There are so many great-looking things here I can't wait to try! I must taste the Shorbat Adas (puréed lentil soup), (non-quinoa) Tabouli, Toom, and many other things here! The variety is very wowing! Most places just don't give you this variety in terms of various dishes or the variety within each dish that this place does -- and that contributes greatly to not only your appetite but also your health. So much care is clearly put into everything here from the décor to the drinks to the hospitality. It's really like a mini, super-tasty trip to the Near East -- and welcomes everyone equally. I'm so glad I stopped in! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommended! Very much deserving of an absolute, all-around Yay! :-D (By the way, from a not-falafel fan I know: 'You know I'm not a fan of falafel, but that was really good -- everything! We need not ever go back to the other place -- even if it's free!' What better endorsement could there be?)
