I had just finished a workout and was looking for something high in protein but lower in calories…read morewhen a friend recommended Galilee Falafel & Shawarma in Lake Worth. After my first visit, I completely understand why. When I walked in, I was immediately welcomed and kindly guided through parts of the menu I wasn't familiar with. Mediterranean food usually isn't my go-to, so I appreciated how patient and helpful they were without making me feel out of place. I ordered the beef shawarma plate with tzatziki and hot sauce on the side, then sat at the barstools near the food prep area while I waited. Watching the owner prepare the food was honestly part of the experience. At one point, he came over and insisted I try their tea. I initially declined, but he smiled and said he'd only pour me half a cup. That small act of kindness and hospitality genuinely sold me on this place. The restaurant was clean, quiet, welcoming, and smelled incredible. And yes, absolutely try the tea. It was a custom Earl Grey blend made specifically for them, and it was fantastic. When I got home, I was surprised by how generous the portions were for the price. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully balanced. The spices were used perfectly, the produce tasted fresh, and the food even held its temperature well by the time I got home. I've only been here once so far, but I already plan on becoming a regular, probably at least once a week. Y'all are doing an amazing job, and I'm really glad I found this place.

The service is always good, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. They sometimes have music, but it's never too loud, so you can still enjoy your meal and have a conversation. Nothing fancy or overdone, just a comfortable neighborhood spot with really good food. For me, the pho is the reason I keep coming back every week!

The good & the bad…read more.. I'll start with the good. By the time I got my food, I was so hungry I would have eaten anything. I came in around 1:20, was greeted and gentleman took my order for dine out to go. He said to give him 10 minutes. I sat patiently reading the reviews until 2:00pm when he brought me my food to go. At this point I almost felt sick. I was hungry an hour ago. The reviews were mostly positive so I was eager to try it tho I wasn't well. I order a combination plate with fries, soup & hummus. I got a combination plate with rice, soup & hummus. The soup was aight. 6/10.... The gyro was ok. 7/10.... The chicken schwarma wasn't flavorful at all. 4/10.... I got a smidge of hummus and sauce to help get the meat down. The rice was ok. 4/10... Overall for 40 minute wait and $23. I won't be back. I could have drove to Dallas and ate, and gotten what I ordered and been satisfied. With so many great food options around I'm very surprised they have been for as far back as the reviews go. I wish them best of luck. I guess if you're in a pinch check it out. Hope your experience goes better than mine.

(It still is ... but the Chicken Kebob here at Aladdin Cafe is the best I've ever had!) TENDER w/char marks is almost an oxymoron ... but The chefs here have the marinade & timing down to a science.
