We tried the falafel pita and chicken pita and both delicious. Typical I don't like chicken but this one was top tier! The fries were not my style and would get another side. Otherwise highly recommend this space. As always I forget to take a photo until a few bites in.

They even let you try some items, which made it way easier to decide. I skipped a few toppings based on my taste, so your experience might vary, but I went with the chicken bowl and it was super solid. The pita bread it came with was a highlight. Overall, a great spot and definitely worth trying if you're in the area and want something a little different.

We were looking for a place to stop for dinner on our way to Coachella from San Diego, and this is…read moreright along the way! We found the name of the restaurant to be funny, and ended up being very pleasantly surprised by the food there. I got the beef kebab plate and we got a side of falafel to share for the table (the falafel isn't on the menu but you can ask to order it as a side). The falafel came out piping hot and was crispy but not dry. The beef kebab plate was huge and enough for two people to share. The meat was cooked well and flavorful, and the garlic sauce (toum) was amazing. It wasn't super busy when we were there (on a Thursday evening), but our server was very nice. The portions are big at a good price, will be coming again if I'm passing through the area!

My coworker recommended this place and we decided to come give it a try as a group…read more At first, I was surprised how small the place was, but when you enter, you order at a touchpad near the entrance and then wait for your order to be called inside. They had utensils, napkins, and sauces with containers while you wait. I ordered the falafel bowl and pali salad in case the bowl itself wasn't enough. It did take longer than the other orders but once I got it, we sat outside where they had a few tables and chairs. The bowl looked fresh and vibrant, so many colors and a decent amount of falafel. I tried their white and mazbout sauces on the salad. I'm glad it had spinach as it helped reduce water from seeping out. The falafel was slightly spicy since I am terrible with spic r tolerance but the sauce made it very balanced. I also got to try someone's fries and it was super delicious, the spices they used on the fries were flavorful and the fried were very crispy and smooth inside. Overall, very nice quick lunch, we arrived before they opened right at 12pm and avoided the lunch rush! Very affordable prices as well.

The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is needs work. I went to UCLA, and I believe this is the old Jose Bernstein's address. I went there in the hundreds of times. I like this place, and appreciate that they keep their prices so low. I think the falafel bowl I had was $6 or something ludicrous like that. It was good, not great. I also had the veggie shawarma. I won't get that again. It was mushy, and when I go for that dish, I'm not trying to be healthy. I guess if I were vegan for principled reasons, I might appreciate that more....... It was one and done for me. Shout out to the workers there. It was Ce and Michelle. Ce is one of the nicest restaurant workers I've ever met!!! Total gem!

I was hoping the leftover falafel would taste better the next day, but sadly, it didn't. Chicken and beef kabob were decent. Kinda bummed how they didn't have some sort of combo bowl. You'd have to buy extra meat if you wanted to try different meats together. The extras and sides were quite pricey, too. We also tried a variety of flatbreads. The spinach and cheese was our favorite. We liked the zataar one, and the meat with jalapenos was just ok. The thick creamy garlic sauce went well with the thin, crispy flatbreads, while the runny white sauce tasted bland and slightly bitter (unpleasant with everything, to be honest). Overall, the food is fine, but I wouldn't go again. A few tables were available inside the small, simple-looking shop, but it felt a bit awkward eating there. Staff were not very attentive, but once we got their attention, they were helpful.

A great local spot, everything made to order…read more I've been here twice and ordered the falafel bowl and tabbouleh both times. The tabbouleh is awesome - this is pretty much identical to mine so of course I would love it. The first time I came, I got the spicy falafel; The second time I got the regular. Just based on those two visits, I would recommend the regular. The spicy wasn't actually really spicy, and the patties were almost burnt. It tells you how good everything was that I still came back though. Second visit I got the regular patties and I really really enjoyed the bowl. Every ingredient is fresh and delicious, tahini is great, and there's a shaker of zataar for seasoning on the counter. Great prices, great owner, great food. Big thumbs up. Gotta try one of the fresh made flatbreads or wraps next time.

It is without a doubt the best falafel in the Valley. Every bite feels like being back in Israel with real authentic flavors that you just cannot find anywhere else.

Anat and her husband are amazing people with big hearts. They always welcome you with a smile patience and genuine care. You can really feel that they love what they do and care about every customer.

It is a shame you cannot give 100 stars. If you are looking for real Israeli falafel with soul and the best service there is this is the place. Love you guys and highly recommend from the heart.
