We were looking for a place to stop for dinner on our way to Coachella from San Diego, and this is right 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! read more

WTFalafel - Falafel Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

was intrigued when i saw they had "vegan chicken" online so i asked for it even tho its not on the physical menu. for $20, i thought it would become with rice but no.. it also had no flavor whatsoever but luckily the hummus and tahini helped.. i also saw they had a vegan beef online but our server (who was super nice) said they didn't have that nor vegan baklava so that was disappointing.. but i saw they had it available online so what would they do if i had ordered both those items online for pickup.. they need to be take what's out of stock off from ordering online is. i also took some dolmas to go. not the best i had but they were fine maybe i'll be back to try the falafel read more

WTFalafel was an unexpected win. In a city where good kabobs aren't exactly everywhere, this spot delivers. The service was genuinely welcoming, the food tasted fresh, and the kabobs were cooked perfectly. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Seasoning Alley in City of Montrose is still my personal favorite, but when I want something closer, WTFalafel absolutely gets the job done. No need to over-explain. It's worth the visit. read more

Hidden gem!! I got a sampler of a good amount of their food. I got the baba ganoush which is one of the best I've had. The falafels were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really loved the texture. All the meats were delicious and flavorful. I ate in and my only complaint why its a 4 star and not 5 is the wait time for my food. It took almost 40 mins for my food to come out. Only the baba ganoush came out at a decent time. I would order take out next time to avoid the wait since I really liked the food. read more

Not bad, comparable to Fufu's, Georgie's, etc. I do think WTFalafel consistently has the best falafels (it's in their name!), but their other food is around the same level for somewhat higher prices. I ordered the chicken wrap, and the chicken looks a little sad, to be honest. Compare that to the falafel wrap, which looked and tasted way better. Also, their side chicken is not a good value. It's just one kabob, deconstructed. You're better off getting a plate! read more

WTFalafel - Tour of Beirut Chicken - Falafel Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Entering the restaurant we were greeted immediately by the owner who made us feel welcomed and as if we knew her for years. I ordered their WTHGyro that was filled with large sliced lamb and beef shanks. They do not short change you on the protein. Gyros are generously priced and there are many different types of gyros. read more

One of my favorite Lebanese spots, hands down. I've been coming to What The Falafel for over a year now and they've never disappointed. The chicken kebab plates are always juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the lamb plates are just as good--tender, flavorful, and cooked right every time. Portions are generous, the food is always fresh, and everything tastes like it was made with care, not rushed. The sauces and sides hit every time too. It's one of those places you keep coming back to because you already know it's going to be good. Consistent, high quality, and worth it every time. If you like Mediterranean/Lebanese food, this place is a must. P.S. always ask for the spicy green sauce you'll thank me later read more

I'm Palestinian and grew up eating traditional Middle Eastern food daily, so I was genuinely excited to try this place for the first time. Unfortunately, it was really disappointing. I ordered my go-to gyro sandwich and it was absolutely drenched in oil. I had just come from the gym and was starving, but it still lacked flavor. The meat itself was tender, but the garlic sauce had no flavor at all and tasted watered down. Every bite started and ended with grease, and the sandwich was literally dripping oil -- pretty gross overall. My boyfriend ordered the shawarma fries. Presentation-wise, they looked much better than my gyro, but they also lacked flavor, especially the sauce. They also sell dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), which were clearly store-bought and straight out of a can. I immediately recognized them, especially since the cans were visible on a shelf in the restaurant. That was pretty disappointing for a Middle Eastern spot. We ordered baklava and were charged $4 for what they called a "large," which turned out to be a single triangle. Every Middle Eastern place I've been to considers a serving two pieces, so that was off-putting. The baklava was also store-bought, which is usually fine if it's fresh, but this one was extremely dry and had no attar at all -- the sweet syrup that's typically served with Middle Eastern desserts. Lastly, we ordered our food to go and there was no plastic silverware included in the bag. Customer service was decent, and the ambience is pretty nice. They had Arabic music playing which really gave me high hopes hah. but overall the food was very disappointing, especially given how much better and fresher Middle Eastern food can and should be. read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Unassuming gem in the corner of the plaza. Indoor seating only. Ambiance isn't anything special but this place is fast food with good quality. Been here a couple of times and their food is consistently fresh with good portions and reasonable prices (approx $20 a plate) I get the chicken plate and it comes with a good amount of protein and the chicken is juicy and seasoned well. It's over a bed of rice and comes with hummus and pita bread . It also comes with a small side of salad but I love veggies so I always order an extra order of the side salad and it makes for the perfect meal. Will be back read more

I happened to find this place after coming from a funeral and when I walked in, I was greeted by the sweetest woman at the front counter who was so warm and awesome. I ordered the Chicken Kabob Tour of Beirut . It was cooked to order so I didn't mind waiting and let me tell you, I'm glad I did because the food was fantastic! Juiciest most flavorful chicken , tasty perfect saffron rice with delicious hummus and plentiful warm pita bread . I gotta say, hands down best Chicken Kabob Meal I've ever had! read more

I used to love WTFalafel and even recommended it to others, but NEVER again. I placed an order through Grubhub and it arrived with a missing item. This place is not cheap, so I called to ask what happened. Instead of an apology or a solution, the girl who answered the phone was extremely rude and argumentative. They made the mistake, yet she refused to fix it. When I asked for a manager, she told me there wasn't one available. I later found out the manager's name is Nadia--so Nadia, please know your employee is actively driving loyal customers away. I've been coming here since they first opened, and the staff used to be kind and helpful. Sadly, that's no longer the case. Because of how poorly this was handled, you've lost a loyal customer. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them makes all the difference. read more

Been here twice while coming from Joshua Tree or from Las Vegas and it's definitely a great stop to go to for some great Mediterranean food! Parking is very spacious so definitely easy to come here. I've been coming here at around 8pm and the inside is pretty empty and some people come here to get food as take out or as doordashed. The service is good as well where they get your order while seated and check on you constantly if anything else is needed. The food portion here is really good with lots of other varieties! I personally am able to eat everything but I'm sure this could be worth two days of food since the portion is somewhat big, but it's a good thing! This place is definitely my go-to if I need a pitstop going back down to San Diego and would recommend to try it out if you're in the area or want some good Mediterranean food! read more

Moved to MV about 3 years ago and I never thought id find delicious Lebanese cuisine locally. This place is shockingly good! I highly recommend trying the lamb! Yuum! But honestly im sure anything you get is amazing. Feels like a family owned spot that puts love and passion in their food. Its pricey though, not going to lie. So its a good occasional meal I get for myself with maybe a beer on the side. Service is great, atmosphere is family friendly! read more

We try coming here every 1-2 months, everything is always fresh, you may sit there ight away but wait time is always 15-25 mins for your food, and it's always 100% worth the wait, no pre cooked anything, always comes out hot He had their beef kabob in the past but you're better off getting the plates, more selection and flavor Prices- cheap for the quality/serving, this combo plate had about 14oz of meat or so, huge portion of hummus, then it was also served with pita bread, 1 per plate Please add dine in option for rewards if you can, I notice only online orders are valid for rewards read more

This is one of our favorite places to get lunch together on the days my Dad & I woodwork. Delicious food that you can tell is prepared with care and pride. The waitress (I think her name is Nadia) welcomes you with a smile. The ambience is homey. I only wish they'd bring back the lunch specials, or have a smaller, lunch-size sampler plate, or small a la carte options. Just because it's hard to choose! read more

WTF-Falafel after reading reading so many positive reviews went to try them out. Took the first bite no flavor, not charred like a kabob should be. The texture was off decided to look at it and the inside was complete raw. Waited about 20min for my food guess it wasn't enough time to properly cook chicken. Def disappointed and will not return read more

I wanted to add that today I placed an order online and my son and his dad went to pick it up and my son wanted a slice of baklava and his dad forgot his walker and they gave it to him free. I'm so very embarrassed but grateful of the great gesture. Reminds me why I continue to return ever since I discovered this hidden gem 2 months ago read more

We tried this Lebanese restaurant on our way back from Cabazon to LA and it was excellent! We started with the dolma which was just the right taste. Many are too tangy, not these. Then we moved onto the chicken shawarma and kefta plates--both were incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. The rice had the ideal texture and was surprisingly tasty on its own, and the salad was super fresh and crisp. The cook clearly knows what they're doing, and the service from Layla made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and added a great personal touch to the meal. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating and has a to go counter. They even sell authentic sides and spices you'd have to go to a specialty market for. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving delicious, authentic Lebanese food! read more

I was craving Mediterranean food and found this place on Yelp. As soon as we walked in, a lovely lady greeted us so warmly that it already made my day.

My whole family had a delicious and really enjoyable time here! read more

Visited WTFalafel for lunch today. Restaurant claims to be "traditional Lebanese food" with healthy option. The restaurant is more of a health Lebanese food, very similar to a "healthy bowl" restaurant. I ordered the beef shawarma, expecting a traditional dish with highly sliced beef on rice with humus on the side. What I received was very different from the 20+ middle eastern Lebanese restaurants I have visited. The beef was placed over lettuce... I think it was supposed to be like a salad without the sour oil based dressing that is common with this type of food. No rice was provided, and was a crazy 4.99 on the side..: for rice that should have been on the plate already. The baklava is a traditional desert, but the desert tasted cold, almost like it was previously frozen. The flavor profile was good, but it came off as something I could have gotten in the freezer section. The restaurant was a "kind of sit down" location... it is not obvious going in though... no greeter at the door, no table leading, more like a mix of fancier fast food and sit down restaurant. 34 dollars for this food was insane! Similar (better) meals with baklava run around 25 - 28 dollars and have better flavor profiles. Service was average to good... nice cashier, never came around for water refill until end of the meal. If you are aware that you are getting not traditional food but a more healthy option the food was okay, but not what I want in a Lebanese food establishment. C+, 3 stars... I will not be returning... read more

If you're looking for one of the best and the most authentic Lebanese food at very reasonable prices, WTFalafel is the place. Bring the whole family with you, you won't break the bank and the grandchildren would love it. Everything here is so delicious. We love the Zaatar and the cheese Manaeech (Pizzas), the Hummus, the Chicken and Beef Shawarmas, and the Kababs. The service is very good. The food is made fresh and grilled to order so expect a few minutes delay on certain items on the menu. The place is large with plenty of room for big parties, nice ambient Lebanese music, the restrooms are very clean, and no issues in finding a parking place. WTFalafel is the best Lebanese Restaurant around. The food feels and tastes like home cooking. read more

The hummus is elite. The gyro is really good, but I keep going back for the hummus. I've had other things that have also been good. It's a nice looking place to eat. An enjoyable atmosphere. Service is usually good, unless a crowd comes in. They seem to get a lot of delivery services, which also slows things down a bit. Oh, the baklava is also fantastic. read more

WTFalafel - Gyro plate - Falafel Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Ordered takeout from the only Mediterranean food spot near me in Moreno Valley and was very satisfied. We ordered two chicken kabobs, fries, a mixed shawarma plate (beef and chicken with salad, hummus, soft pita, and pickles), and the Tour of Beirut combo plate (kofta, beef and chicken kabobs, rice, small salad, pickles, soft pita, and hummus). All of the meats were well-seasoned and tender. I preferred the salad over the rice, while my husband preferred the rice over the salad. The salad was especially refreshing and crisp, made with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, tossed in a well-balanced mix of tangy vinegar, oil, and herbs. The HIGHLIGHT was definitely the garlic sauce, green hot sauce, and hummus--absolutely amazing and mouthwatering. The cashier was kind, friendly, attentive, and thorough. The restaurant itself was quiet, calm, and spacious, which made for a pleasant experience even with takeout. I'm already looking forward to returning to try the pizzas! read more

Lebanese food is considered as one of the healthiest foods in the world and WTFalafel offers some of the best and authentic Lebanese dishes using fresh ingredients and the leanest meats. Everything we tried here was so delicious from the Hummus, Shawarma sandwiches to the grilled beef and or lamb Kababs and the spiced ground beef Kafta Kabab and all at an extremely reasonable prices. We all love going there and we often take our children and grandchildren with us and they all love the place and the food not to forget the very nice background Lebanese music playing at a comfortable volume. We highly recommend WTFalafel. read more
