    Chicken kabob pita
    Jim G.

    Nice place and people. We had the chicken kabob pita and the falafel pita. More than enough tasty food.

    Hummus and Baba Ganoush!

    The staff at Mr. Falafel in Riverside is so nice and their food is sooooo good! Their hummus and baba ganoush are both fantastic and they have been my go-to appetizers all summer! I bring them to every outing. Mr. Falafel's food is sooooo fresh and is always a crowd pleaser! You have to try it!

    Best falafel sandwich around. Fresh ingredients. Not much for ambience if you're eating in.

The main benefit of that being I didn't have to decide what I was having for lunch. This was the choice. I like mediterranean because it tends to be slightly healthier than some other options. This place is right up my alley because of the vegetarian leaning options on the menu, which is another benefit of this particular cuisine. Having said that, there were quite a few choices for me. They have bowls, salads, soup, sandwiches, platters, I mean, it's endless. I was planning on taco bell for dinner so had to compensate somewhat with lunch and decided to build a salad. I did greens, their mix of rice and lentils, cauliflower, cabbage, pickles, hummus, hot sauce. I am not a big fan of spring mix and I wonder if maybe something hot caused the greens to wilt but they were way too wilty for me. That was not particularly appetizing but everything else was really tasty. The hummus, especially, holy shit. I could eat that with a spoon. Two of my colleagues got the jersualem falafel sandwich and raved about it. I tried some of their fries and that seasoning is a game changer. I also got the garlic dip (to eat at home, later, don't worry). I couldn't tell you what that substance is and idk if I even want to know but it is whipped lusciousness. I am also genuinely curious to know how much garlic they put in there because it literally BURNS. No concern for vampires for quite a while. Very tasty, would definitely order again.

    Naya offers a very good product with consistent flavor, which is why I keep coming back…read more Unfortunately, this location consistently falls short when it comes to operations. The biggest issue is online ordering and fulfillment. I almost always order online for convenience, but on most occasions my order is not prepared until I physically arrive and ask for an update. At that point, the convenience of ordering online completely disappears. You are honestly better off ordering in person. My most recent experience, which was today, really highlighted the problem. I placed my online order around 11:50 AM and did not receive my food until 12:50 PM. Another ongoing issue is the inconsistency with double protein orders. I have ordered often enough to notice that this is a recurring problem and something that clearly needs attention. I am sharing this mainly to bring awareness to others. If you are ordering online for pickup, be prepared for a gamble. If possible, just order when you arrive. For delivery orders, the drivers are not at fault. They are dealing with the same issue, where orders do not seem to be addressed until someone asks for an update.

Everything tasted super fresh and balanced; the chicken was juicy, and the mix of yogurt and garlic whip was great. The veggies were crisp, and the sumac onions added a nice tang. A couple of things didn't hit for me though, the "spicy" sauce barely had any heat, and the pita came cold and untoasted, which was a bummer. A warm, toasted pita would've made a big difference. Overall, the bowl was tasty and fresh, and I'd come back, but I hope they step up the spice and fix the pita next time.

The ambience and vibe of the restaurant is upscale and located in a frequented busy area. The wait staff are dressed formally and seems like management runs a tight ship for hospitality. We swung by to check it out a few months ago and I'm still bothered by the disappointment so here I am. I ordered the Lamb Shank $39.00 and my friend ordered the New York Steak Aux Poivres $36.00. We also ordered two cocktails. The cocktails were plain - I ordered some sort of pomegranate and liquor mixer and it tasted sour and bitter. There was a notable lack of craftsmanship and sophistication to it. And for the price of $18.00 it was incredibly underwhelming. The other cocktail was no better - sour, bitter, and a hint of peach juice. The Lamb was cooked nicely, but was very bland, it also came with cous cous, and that was even more bland. I couldn't finish my dish, and had to get pizza afterwards because of how disappointing it was. My friends dish was better, but he likened it to something you could get at a mom and pop diner for a fraction of the price. I didn't want to complain or send it back especially because the waitstaff are just really doing their best. So we paid, tipped, thanked them, left, and will not be returning. I hate to be a complete snob - but if a restaurant is going to put in this much effort to aura farm a certain aesthetic, the food should at least compare. It's like they want the concept, but missed the mark by a huge landslide. Each time I go by it's empty. If you're the owner and reading this - don't waste lamb; please season it better. Comment below to let me know when you have done so, and I will try it again. If the seasoning is better I was recant my review. Thank you.

From the previous reviews, we had anticipated a lively crowd of work-at-home techies taking a long lunch... but when we arrive, the place was empty. Obviously the service was good and the lady answered my vegan wife's many queries. She knows her dishes. Lunchtime prices were reasonable but when we surveyed the dinner menu, we lost our appetite: entrées as high as $40* The food was great! Fresh falafel and pita. Great Baba, hummus and red pepper dip. None too spicy. However... The ambience was not enhanced by the cheesy Pandora channel, with ads, playing on the audio while a travelogue from the Middle East blared on the big screen TV. Remember this place is not a bar. And who is Vera? What's their positioning? Their one-word description as "Mediterranean" is a bit vague. Wish this place well, but the lack of signage, marketing and being on a very competitive street of good restaurants, I hope they make it. We will go back... despite the pricey parking
