Reviews


As of now, there are 14835 ratings available from 3 website(s). The mean score for Falafel's Drive-In is 4.6, implying that this restaurant is incredibly well regarded by its guests. The Mediterranean food joint that has received glowing reviews from over 1500 patrons may not live up to its hype. Some customers found the food to be overrated, with dry chicken and falafel that lacked balance. Service was also lacking, with some customers feeling that new visitors may struggle to understand all the available options. However, others found the falafel and hummus to be top-notch, with generous portions and a welcoming vibe at the drive-in. Overall, opinions varied on the food and service, but many agreed that it was a solid option for a quick and tasty meal, especially for fans of falafel and Middle Eastern cuisine.

the Pita sandwich is vegan as it is. the personal confirmed that they do not try to dilute with acidic milk products in the tahini (the soaky many restaurant).

Best falafels in San Jose definitely possibly in Bay Area too. Super nice owner and inexpensive chow.
