I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and it’s still goated. This spot is my go-to when I want food that’s quick but better than fast food. I usually get the falafel salad and get it spicy. The hummus is creamy, the babaganoush is amazing, and the falafel is always crispy. The portions are generous and consistent. The place has an outdoor patio for seating. Service is always friendly and quick. The only downside is parking, the space is very limited and can get full if crowded.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Falafel Stop is truly exceptional. I can say with complete sincerity that this is the best food I have ever had in my life. The flavors are vibrant, fresh, and unforgettable—every dish is prepared with care and it shows in every bite. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The team here provided the warmest and most attentive hospitality I’ve ever experienced in Silicon Valley. They make you feel valued the moment you walk in, and that level of genuine service is rare to come by. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

As a first timer; what began with the most amazing personalized service, turned into an Israeli flavor explosion. We enjoyed it all; Jerusalem mix, shawarma, steak, falafel, hummus, cauliflower, and baklava. All was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The accompanying salads were the most wonderful mix of spicy, sour, and sweet, and had the most delectable crunch! Enjoyed by all, even the hungry teenagers couldn’t get enough! We can’t wait to return and bring the grandparents! Thank you, Jonathan!

For affordable, delicious Middle Eastern food, Falafel Stop is a must-visit. Their falafel is fresh and crispy, and their chicken shawarma is tasty and substantial. The meal speaks for itself, despite the modest outside environment. Unbeatable prices, swift service, and delicious quantities! Great spot for a quick and casual hang out.

I tried Falafel Stop for the first time at a catered party, and I was seriously impressed! We had both chicken and beef kebabs – they were juicy and flavorful – but the real standout was the fried cauliflower. Absolutely delicious. Be prepared for generous portions. After you choose your meat, you get to load up on sauces and fresh vegetables. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the hot homemade sauce added a perfect kick. The fresh pita bread was soft and warm – a great touch. The owner was there during our visit, and his positive energy really stood out. He was handing out samples and chatting with customers – you could tell he genuinely cares. The whole team seemed happy and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Excellent food in a down to earth building. Chicken is cooked in hearths with a choice of many sauces and spicy vegetables. Food came out fast with a pleasant person at the food assembly counter. You can choose among plates which come with rice, lentil beans vegetables and herbs. Or in a pita bread which with hummus etc. a lot of food and very filling.

I recently tried the chicken shawarma plate at Falafel Stop, and it was a delightful surprise. Even though Mediterranean and Middle Eastern spots often use similar ingredients—like tabbouleh, falafel, and peppers—their version stood out with subtle, distinct flavors. It’s no wonder they’ve garnered over 6,000 glowing reviews. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

This place is the bomb! Great location and food. We tried the schnitzel and falafel. Both were top class. The grill master makes it then and there, it’s a joy to see it being made before you. If you like spice, ask for it and they’ll make it spicy!! We also tried the Bavarian cream dessert with chocolate on top and boy was it good! Just $5 and it tasted similar to a cheesecake with chocolate syrup :) The half falafel pita is also just $5 and great for a small meal or a snack. I initially felt the hummus plate was a bit expensive, but the quality makes up for it! The place has ample parking and great transparent screen protecting you from the street but still giving you an open street food vibe.

Terrific everything. I got falafal and chicken shwarma platter. Everything was terrific! Would definitely recommend and stop here again.

As a first timer, the food felt exceptionally fresh and delicious. Chicken schwarma was really good. The plate comes with everything. Portion sizes were gargantuan- especially with the veggie toppings. Floor near ordering was a little crowded and wet near service hallway, but otherwise fine.

If you’re craving a falafel pita done right, this is the spot! 🥙 The pita is freshly made in-house—soft, warm, and just perfect. The falafels are always fried to order, super crunchy on the outside and moist (not the heavy, dense kind!) on the inside. The toppings are fresh and loaded with flavor, and what I really love is that they keep veg and non-veg counters separate—makes it so easy for everyone. Plenty of seating too, so it’s great for hanging out. Only heads up: if you come during rush hour, be ready for a line. But don’t worry—it moves fast, and honestly, the food is worth every minute of the wait.

A friend recommended Falafel Stop, and so we decided to give it a try — and we’re glad we did! It’s a great place for a quick and tasty street-food-style meal. The café has plenty of parking and is easy to access, which is always a plus. We ordered the Jerusalem Mix plate, which came with a generous portion — more than enough for two people to share. The dish included flavorful roasted chicken mixed with grilled onions, served with rice and lentils, pickles, sweet beets, baba ghanoush, diced tomatoes, tahini sauce, cucumbers, and cabbage. Everything was fresh and delicious! Baklava was very tasty as well! Our order arrived quickly. There are two seating areas: inside, where you can watch the lively Main Street, or outside under the bright yellow umbrellas to enjoy the fresh air. On warm days the outdoor area feels perfect, and I noticed that each table has hanging heaters for cooler weather — a thoughtful touch. The wooden tables with benches instead of chairs give it a casual, friendly vibe. Overall, Falafel Stop is a charming, satisfying place worth adding to your list!

Falafel Stop is as casual as it gets—outdoor tables only, order at the counter, and your food comes out fast. Perfect for a quick, low-key bite. I went for the eggplant nuggets and loved them. They come with a generous cucumber and tomato salad, plenty of tahini, and a warm, freshly baked pita that was fluffy and delicious. Felt like a healthy, satisfying plate. I also added a few of the tiny falafels on the side—crispy outside, tender inside, exactly how falafel should be. Everything on my plate was solid.

Nothing extraordinary, but can't complain for the reasonable price, quality, and generous portions. Nothing was salty. Ordered via their website and order was ready in 30 mins. No line on a Sunday at 7 pm. It's an order at the counter then pick up type of place. Open seating. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Medium sized shared parking lot. Kebab hummus $14.20 - decent. I thought they were going to be skewer kebab meat but it was actually more like meatballs. Not bad though. 4 big pieces on a generous layer of hummus. Hummus was a bit thin. I prefer a thicker consistency. Bits of chopped vegetables were included Falafel $0.78 - decent. Small, crispy, moist. Not the best I had. Nice of them to give me 2 when I ordered just 1 Extra Jerusalem mix $6.42 - good. Very flavorful ground chicken mix. I would get this again Pita bread (included) - good. Fresh, good quality and texture

Good Israeli food. I just wished they separated each salad and main item instead of pilling them up. You can’t really taste each salad nor the meat unless it’s chicken schnitzel.

Confusing set up. You’ll order in a separate room. Or there might be two places to order, depending on whether you want vegetarian or grilled meat. It’s unclear. There’s a sign labeled for pick up—but that’s not actually where you’ll pick up your food. They’ll give you a receipt with a number on it. Ignore this order number; they will not call it. Instead you’ll need to deliver the receipt to the line cook, because the orders are not automatically given to him. Everyone will congregate instead of forming lines, so you’ll never really be sure if you’re in the right spot.

Gee, I'm not sure what to do with this review. I remember my time in Brussels where the bar for falafel pita bread sandwich was set. Possibly too high. Hole in the wall places with nice enough tables and decorations so as to not make you feel like you're eating off an old truck tire. And the pita bread sandwich would never be dry nor dripping wet. Just the right balance and you would very much look forward to the end of the sandwich for the best is still to come: lick the juice off your fingers. And the falafel were fried just enough that it would be soft and yummy inside, and crispy enough on the outside to give you that feeling you crave to plant in your teeth in solid food. And, you know, you'd pay then get your food, and you'd not have to go to this counter for that, then go to another counter were a ticket is required. Okay, folks, you catch my drift. I'm going to stop here. I'll probably come again and do like everyone else: not stay there. The food can scratch an itch for a falafel sandwich but you will be reminded of the good ones you've had in another life.

I saw the review and price of 2 weeks back and found they already increased the price. For example plate price increased to 16.95 from 15.58 in 2 weeks just because there is some hype. I tried ordering plate but they ran out of rice. So I ordered pita with Jerusalem mix. Food quality average. Sitting area ok. Pita bread became soggy half way.

I love falafel stop, they have the best falafel ever!!\nYet, you can easily wait 25 minutes on some days/hours, especially Saturday around 7pm.\nDon't come here if you have a time limit.

Short story: I got food poisoning here 02/22 that lasted for over 2 days. Long story: This is such a shame. I went on a Friday night when the owner was there and it was truly one of the best meals I’ve had in this town. Very kind owner, gave us a free small dish and the people building the plates didn’t skimp on anything (even the chicken). However, I went back two days later on Sunday afternoon. The owner wasn’t there and the entire place was different. The service was no longer great, I had to keep asking for more and gave me half of the protein I got paying the same thing two days before. They wouldn’t give me more than 2 peppers and my plate weighed about 70% of the Friday plate. I then suffered from food poisoning for over two days. I know it was from here because I took some of my plate to go and got it again when I ate it (I couldn’t believe it was from this place!) Such a shame

7 health department violations so no thanks. We want a place that's clean and follows health code measures.
