Best Falafel this side of Jerusalem. The Falafel is has a thin crispy crust and moist tender center. It tastes fresh and not over-fried so you can enjoy the delicate flavor. The Pita is thin and does not overpower the meal. Fantastic and great owner.

The great falafel sandwich

I am so happy we were at the farmer's market at the right time. It was very cold out so as we were walking back to our car when we saw Hilana's Falafel sign: "Jerusalem Style Falafel Sandwiches". We HAD to stop and get some. The aroma that came out of those falafels just as they were getting fried filled up the space. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I've had; and what makes it so special are the special spice blend Hilana's uses, and the perfectly crunch exterior with the warm mushy interior The owner is incredibly sweet and generous. We will be regular customers!

Got Hilana's falafel at the Mosaic farmer's market.

Excellent authentic Palestinian falafel. Crisp, fresh veggies and good sauce. Bread is minimal so the ingredients shine.

The place was bustling on a Saturday afternoon. I stopped by for a falafel sandwich, falafel bowl,…read moreand fries...and I was blown away. Here's why: - Quality: every item was fresh, and the falafel was not dry! I usually don't opt for falafel bc of how dry it is, but this one really wasn't! It was filling but moist and delicious. Also, the veggies and sauces paired well to give it flavor and texture. Again, usually not a fan of falafel, but I was this time. - Service: Food was pretty quick and the staff were really kind considering how busy the shop was. It took about 10 minutes to get the food. - Ambiance: This is a grab and go place. They have some high tables to quickly scarf down your meal or package your to go bag, but I suggest walking around Georgetown area to eat your food elsewhere. I will absolutely visit again and bring vegetarian friends. Such a bang for your buck!

I arrived just before closing, and the owner was gracious enough to accommodate me, which I…read moreappreciated. I feel bad writing this but I believe Writing Authentic and honest review may inspire the owner to level up his food . That said, the food quality did not meet expectations. The falafel was overly firm and dry. The Greek salad lacked freshness--the lettuce appeared past its prime, and the tomatoes were soft and aging. Overall, it felt like a basic tossed salad with feta rather than a well-composed dish. The hummus had a smooth texture, but the flavor suggested a blended oil rather than a clean extra virgin olive oil profile. The pita was the strongest element of the meal--fresh and well prepared. Additionally, the use of styrofoam containers detracted from the overall experience. In summary, while the service at closing was considerate, the food did not reflect what I would consider high-quality or authentic Greek cuisine. .

I looked up at the menu and to my surprise the prices of the food options were quite affordable. I opted to go with the falafel bowl and m'lady went with the falafel sandwich, which were both under $10 each! We also split a healthy sized bag of zaatar fries and I could not resist getting their baklava. The food service was very quick and the employees were very friendly. After obtaining our food we went to their outdoor eating area where we stood and prepared ourselves to feast. Both the falafel sandwich and bowl were filled to the brim with falafel, cabbage, pickles, tomatoes, cucumber, and a substantial serving of tahini. We also had the privilege of being able to help ourselves to extra sauces, which included garlic sauce (toum), red sauce, white sauce, habibi sauce, and more tahini. After taking a few bites of the food, we knew we had made a great decision coming to this location. Dipping the zaatar fries into the garlic sauce became second nature, as the combination was truly delicious. The cherry on the top was their baklava that came in a small, sliding cardboard box. The baklava was not overly sweet and perfectly complemented the savory falafel dishes. I highly recommend coming here for an affordable and delicious meal!

They make and fry the falafel right in front of you and make everything to order. Love the sauce bar that you can grab from and they have all of the different flavors you need right there. They have bags and to go containers that you can get at any point. Service I do think this might be one of the slower locations, but they are always efficient. They do have a kiosk for you to order from. Ambiance In Western Market so no assigned seating, but might be the easiest location to sit down at because it is a food hall. There is so much open seating for you to find a seat at and the other locations are lacking in that.

The service was SUPER fast--perfect for a busy lunch/dinner rush-- and the price was very reasonable. The falafel itself was crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and everything tasted fresh. I also tried their za'atar fries, which were seasoned perfectly and totally addictive, sch a great side! What made the experience even better was knowing that every meal helps feed refugees in need. If you are looking for a quick, tasty, HEALTHY, and budget-friendly meal with a mission, Falafel is absolutely worth stopping by. :)
