    Lamb shawarma wrap, fries, hummus, and falafel
    Ricky R.

    Been coming to eat here for a few years now and the food always hits! Their schwarmas are my favorite and their falafels are delicious. Friendly staff!

    I love their wet garlic fries The Philly cheese steak & gyro were basically the same so id suggest sticking to their staples the gyros fries and rice plates The baklava was good There is indoor seating available and it appears to be a family owned resturant

    Dolmas (4 Pieces) Combo Kabob

    So good! Portions are very generous seasoned well. Awesome staff. Will definitely be back

    Garlic Fries
    Rudrasis C.

    A greasy mess! Read on for more First of all hats off to the meat quantity (three stars because of this). But the wraps only have pita bread and meat (with few lettuces and tomatoes). There's no taziki sauce and I have ordered lamb so the grease from it made the pita bread wet and hand messy. The aftertaste is just grease, horrible overall. The garlic fries are average as garlic taste is missing. They are definitely seasoned but not with garlic! Me and my fiancé both agreed after our dinner that it's 5/5 on not going to order again! AVOID!!

    This spot is pretty good. I was in the area and I was hungry looking for something quick. My niece told me to try Falafel Town so I did. I was not disappointed. The bread/wrap is always too thick for me so I didn't eat it. The chicken and lamb was hot and fresh. The rice was cooked well (not sticky or mushy). I loved the veggies and cucumber hummas sauce OMG SOOOO GOOD. The service was basic (I ordered to go) and the place itself was clean. Would I recommend this place? Yes but only if you are in the area.

    Had a really good lunch at Falafel Town last weekend. I was running errands nearby and had searched Yelp in advance for a place to grab some food. It's located in a small strip mall but has a spacious seating area. It's order at the counter and made fresh. There was a steady stream of take out orders and what seemed to be a lot of regulars. The space is clean and bright while the food itself was excellent. Perfectly crisp and seasoned falafel patties in the wrap and it was made to perfection. I was able to take half home for lunch the next day-portions are generous. Great local, family run spot. Would love to try more items next time I'm in the area.

    Chicken garlic wrap was so good! Garlicky, just how I like it.

    We were hesitant to try this spot, but I'm so glad we did! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the falafel was honestly the best I've ever had, perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. Friendly staff, chill vibe, and definitely coming back.

    Stopped by Falafel Town and had an excellent experience. The service was friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. We ordered a gyro wrap and a shawarma combo plate--both were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, making it a fantastic value. The place wasn't too busy when we came in, so we were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

    Lamb Gyros Plate (spicy), with a side order of hummus.
    Rob D.

    The food here is great. Today I got the lamb gyro plate, which comes with rice, salad, tsitsiki sauce, and pitas. It's plenty of food. I brought some home left over. I also ordered a side of hummus. Which was delicious. It's counter service but they bring your food to the table. Paper/styrofoam plates and containers. I love that they asked if I wanted my gyro meat mild, medium, or spicy. (Spoiler alert: I got it spicy). I've been here a few times and the food is consistent. They are friendly and the place seems clean. The location is nothing special, it's in a strip mall. But they make it pleasant inside.

    Great customer service and tasty delicious food with great size portions!!! Tried Nick the Greek and it was very commercial w/ slim pickings! Falafel Town is very authentic! Great job!

    Ordered this DoorDash and I have never received such a beautiful to go plate. My only issue the taste in the falafels has changed slightly. I was told that the owner has another restaurant that he opened up and so now there's different people making the falafel, but they don't taste the same which is causing this place to kinda lose that historic taste in the falafel and a Taziki. Today the hummus was perfect, it was not watery but but it had a perfect consistency . My falafels waffles just have a different days just don't taste the same, and they were not warm at all, I have always had fresh warm falafels from here but today, my falafels were premade and cold but the flavor not was is usually is.

    Chicken Garlic Shawarma Wrap
    Jennifer Y.

    Great place for a quick bite. I got the combo with the chicken garlic shawarma wrap and it was the perfect amount for a satisfying meal. It came with fries and a drink. There's plenty of seating inside and the service is pretty quick.

    Pita bread sent in original packaging.

    My wife and I have been loyal Mazra patrons since their original location in San Bruno. To say my…read morewife was elated tp see them open up in Redwood City close to her workplace, is an understatement. She has since brought numerous people tp this location. I also love coming here everytime I'm in town and need to finally revisit the original location since their renovation. On our most current visit, everything wasn't flawless like it usually is, but let me tell you why it didn't hinder our night, nor our reason to constantly come back. As creatures of habit, we humans tend to stick to what we know. I know especially at my age, I know what I want, and don't you dare make me change my order, dang nabbit. So, one of our go to dishes everytime we visit, is their roast chicken. This particular night, they didn't have any available, I believe the rotisserie was being serviced. Though we were a bit disappointed, our server Ben, made everything better. He took care of us, not only in conversation, but with a suggestion of trying the cauliflower. Cauliflower instead of chicken, how does that work? Well for us, it did. Never thought I'd sub cauliflower for chicken, but it was more than satisfying. Though we will always get the chicken, we more than likely will have to add the cauliflower along with it. We also ordered the Arugula Fennel Salad, which was light, and the crisp of the apples gives it a nice crunch. A side of chicken kabob to go with the salad. Fried cheese, it was good, especially drizzling the honey on it. Double kebab plate of chicken and filet mignon. Which I devoured. A refreshing raspberry lemonade. Just tart and sweet enough. If you're lucky to get Ben as your server, you won't regret it and if the server suggests a dish, give it a try, it make change things up for the better.

    Worth the hype but not worth a 90 minute wait. Next time I'll stop by on a weeknight instead…read more Inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and ordering is super easy via QR code. The food took a while to come out but once it did.. we devoured everything. Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cauliflower but that's because it ended up being mostly stem. The seasonings on the florets were super tasty. We tried the chicken and kofta kebabs and the chicken shawarma. I loved the kofta - it was super flavorful and the meat was so tender! Will pass on chicken kebab next time, I found it was a little too charred and on the drier side. Chicken shawarma was definitely the better chicken option. Their toum is DELICIOUS and tzatziki is refreshing with the perfect amount of tang. And the portion sizes are just right, we had leftovers for days. Only reason I'm rating as a 4 because of the service - it was on the slow side and we ordered from a QR code and didn't interact with any of the staff beyond "thank you" so felt a bit impersonal for the price point.

What made it so much better was I found the Yogurt sauce in the back. It's all you can eat. I used 2 on their small containers of sauce. And it really needed it as it was dry without it. My mom loves fries so that's why I ordered this dish. I think she was disappointed that they were stuffed inside and wasn't a side of fries. My mom did smother then wrap with ketchup which I thought was odd, but she enjoyed it and that's all that mattered. Next time I'll order her the Kabab Fries($14.90- Crave Fries plus protein. I think that will be bigger hit for her. My dad had the Chicken Protein Bowl ($16.90) Saffron Chicken Kebab (huge pieces), SuperGreens (aka lettuce), feta, hummus, tzatziki, crispy chickpeas (Crispy but not crunchy like a corn nut), red cabbage slaw, romaine, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and garlic yogurt. He then smothered it with the Dill Yogurt sauces from the back of the restaurant. The Dill Yogurt and Original Garlic Yogurt are both kept on ice which make me fill more comfortable as they are both milk products. Ambiance was good. I felt like I was in a Kebab restaurant. You order a the counter and they give you a buzzer. The buzzer will buzz when your order is ready and then you go to the back counter and pick up your order on a metal tray. The condiments are help yourself in the back along with the soda machine. The have 2 unisex bathrooms with hand dryers that took a bit to turn. On. I almost gave up on it and air dried my hands. The sensor must be off. Parking is a little tricky during meal hours. It's part of a strip mall with a shared parking lot. All the spaces were taken out front so we walked behind the Thai restaurant closer to Safeway and found parking. It was a little bit of a walk compared to all the spaces our front, but not bad for able bodied individuals. I'd come back now knowing where the extra yogurt is as the wrap was a bit on the dry side. I wish they would put more sauce on the inside and add a little more flavor to it. I found it a bit on the bland side. Next time I'll try some of their spicier yogurt sauces. Also next time I'll order mom the loaded fries. I didn't know she was such a big fan of fries.
