Finally sitting down to write a review! First and formost. We have been meaning to pass by this place for quite some time (my boyfriend and myself). And we are so glad we did. Sherry, the girl that was in the front was incredibly helpful and very happy to explain things to me,shout put to her for being so accommodating. She suggested things to order and what to even get next time. She spoke to the kitchen staff to find out what they had for me to order. I ordered 2 rice puddings, one falafel order and an order of their beef kofta and a gyro. Without a doubt, everything was incredibly delicious. Especially the rice pudding and falafel. Ii was so good that I continued to think about it days later. I have already suggested this place to multiple people. I hope they continue to prosper!

Their food is truly delicious. The chicken kebab is so good I haven’t branched out to other dishes yet. Love the falafel. Boyfriends enjoys the mixed kebab with lamb, chicken and beef. I would normally deduct a star for the wait times, but I really believe the experience would be seamless with another employee. As of now just order in advance to avoid wait times.

Highly recommend Falafel Bites. We ordered a mango juice, chicken and lamb over rice an a lamb platter. We also got a super tasty dessert! Everything was fresh and delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is very kind and welcoming.

Stopped by Falafel Bites and had such a great experience! Sheri at the counter was super nice and welcoming. She recommended the Turkish coffee, and it was amazing — strong and flavorful. She also gave me a sample of the lentil soup, which was so good I had to get it to go. The place has a cozy vibe with Egyptian music playing, warm lights, and cool decor. You can tell they put real care into everything they do. Hard not to be impressed by the flavor and hospitality here. Definitely coming back!

We ordered Baba Gaboush, beef shawarma pita, lamb kebab and cheese Kunafa. Hands down the best baba ghanoush and kunafa I’ve had ever and I’ve had them a lot. Beef and lamb were so juicy and tender, we couldn’t get enough of them, but we were sadly already full. The staff is very friendly and kind. And this is coming from a local in the neighborhood.

I recently had lunch at Falafel Bites in Ridgewood, and it was an amazing experience! A couple was enjoying some beautiful food in the plaza, and I couldn’t resist asking where they got it. They highly recommended Falafel Bites, so my husband and I decided to check it out this week. We ordered the chicken over rice and the house falafel, and both dishes were absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on, and you can really tell that someone knows their way around the kitchen. We also tried the mint lemonade, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with our meal. The ambiance of the place is lovely, and we appreciated that it was family-friendly. We brought our one-year-old, who had a great time playing some games while we waited for our food. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, but honestly, it was worth it. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to expect instant gratification, but if you have a little patience, you’ll be rewarded with a super tasty meal at a really reasonable price. Falafel Bites has definitely earned a spot in our Ridgewood rotation. Can’t wait to go back!

After visiting multiple times, I can confidently say this restaurant is amazing! Not only is the food incredibly tasty, but the staff is equally friendly. Every time I return, I bring friends and family along, and they always enjoy it as much as I do. The chicken and lamb over rice platter is a personal favorite, but their burgers and chicken cutlet plate are also delicious! As a regular customer, the staff always makes me feel warm and welcome, and this has been the case since the very first time I stepped through the door. Thank you!

The service and food was amazing. The owners are so friendly and kind, and we had great conversation with them. I had the shrimp platter, which was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We had the cheese kunafa after which was fresh out of the oven. The cheese inside was melty, and the kunafa on top was crispy and moist from the syrup. I highly recommend getting the kunafa at the end. I have never had Egyptian food this delicious and authentic before. They even had games for us to play while we waited for our order. It was raining when we left and we didn’t have umbrellas. They were so kind as to give us rain panchos. Everyone should come here!!

We love falafel bites! So delicious, wonderful fresh flavors. Amazing hummus, salads, rice platters. The mint lemonade is a must on a warm day, and rice pudding to finish. There can sometimes be a little wait for food, but it’s worth it! Always looking forward to our next visit.

Truly wonderful! A new go-to in ridgewood. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for many years, and this is a new mainstay. The food is fresh, delicious, and rich with flavor, all well priced. The hawawshi is incredible, my favorite dish on the menu. The fatoosh so fresh. The falafel clearly homemade. Chicken over rice also great. Would definitely recommend.

Warm atmosphere, delicious food! Came out very fast too. Everything is homemade and you can taste the quality! Large portion sizes. I especially loved the pickled turnip and the Egyptian hot sauce on top!
