    They seem to be out of business?? Went tonight and it's cleared out. Did they change their hours?

    Having survived a horrible fire, Zeezenia re-opened some months ago better than ever, and just as…read moreof 4 August 2023, they have brought back their restaurant in the rear of the store as well! The grocery offers most everything you'd want from a pan-Middle Eastern grocer: dry goods, teas, frozen food, fragrant waters, syrups, canned goods, et cetera. They also have a good selection of baklava and other treats by the front counter worth checking out: they get different sweets in sometimes--always baklava but sometimes also namoura cake and other things. When they have sari burma it's normally excellent, so look for that as well. They also have a good spice selection and try to include a lot of Turkish and Persian speciality items as well (this include Turkish frozen goods and yes, the pudding mixes also). The restaurant portion is a buffet and they have a hot bar and cold bar. The hot bar has traditional Egyptian foods and was very good when I tried it while the cold bar has things that could also be taken away like hummus, salads, and babaganoush. You can get the hot bar to-go as well, but having things like hummus is a big deal because you can purchase enough to have on hand for the week. I hope the restaurant continues to work out for them: buffets only make money if they have a lot of customers, so I really hope the community supports this fine establish and wonderful people who own and run it.

    This is a really cool market we wanted to get ingredients for Lebanese food they had an extensive…read morevariety. Great service and selection

    I have been eating Falafel King since 1984 and it is still as good today as it was back then. I was…read moreintroduced to it by words that became a staple every time I walked in, "My friend. Come and enjoy a falafel!" It was 1984, I worked at the Florida Bookstore and was sitting out back in the courtyard behind Chaucer's during my lunch break. That's when I heard those words. It was a smiling man sticking his head out of a kitchen window behind Cafe Gardens, which shared the courtyard with Chaucer's. "...enjoy a falafel!" "A flawhatel?" I asked. The man was Ghassan Chehab, and after serving me my first ever falafel, I ate there nearly every day. He soon moved out of the small shared-kitchen window to the famous 13th and University location, next to Burrito Brothers and Goerings Book Center - which I eventually moved to myself - and a block from my house. Falafel sandwich, spinach pie, strawberry-banana smoothie, and complimentary baklava - that was my go-to meal, always accompanied by great conversation with Ghassan. I left Gainesville in 1992 and The King moved out to Butler Plaza. I returned there a number of years later and was not only delighted to see the place still existed, but it was as good as ever! Ghassan was no longer there in person, but he certainly was in spirit. I continue to eat there whenever I pass anywhere near Gainesville, and always take home a bundle full of the falafel and pies. In fact, I'm actually writing this review with the taste of that falafel and spinach pie in mouth right now because I recently made one such trip. My friends, go eat a falafel at Falafel King!

    Delicious and freshly made Falafel. Good service and clean restaurant. I look forward to eating…read moreagain.

Today we started with the $19.99 (for 2) appetizer which was outstanding. Best Falafel we've EVER had. The Doner was amazing for our main meal. Try this place,you won't be disappointe, very authentic Stopped in Saturday for lunch around noon.  It was just us and the owner, Soner, on this visit.  Turned out Mehmet would serve us and we had the opportunity to have a nice chat with him between courses.  We ordered  the Lamb skewer, fries and salad, and Adana, rice, and salad $12.99 every day specials that come with a cold beverage (sodas or waters).  Portion sizes are appropriate and very reasonably priced. Authentic Istanbul Turkish Mediterranean food.  We enjoyed chatting with Soner and learning what else he has in store coming up at the restaurant.  Very happy we gave this place an opportunity and we look forward to coming back and trying more menu items. Restaurant has been there for a year now and is well worth the ride to give it a try if your looking for a taste of this authentic cuisine.
