Falafel City San Francisco Reviews
yeah that was great. they gad a tv playing travel videos was good i like watcjjng a youtube while i am eatning. wife was happy she had cookie and i had fallafal
Nice place for a great late night dinner. Loved the halal friendly place in the center of the city.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I ordered two plates of falafels from Falafel City last night, and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful — hands down some of the best falafel I’ve had. I left a message in the Uber Eats food modification section with specific requests, and they followed it exactly. The attention to detail really impressed me. Even the hummus was rich and delicious. Thank you, Falafel City, for feeding me a perfect dinner. I truly enjoyed every bite!
Here on holiday from Australia. I had the chicken platter. So delicious, fresh & so so generous portions I couldn't finish it. My husband had the Philly ( gryo) wrap. These guys must be doing something right. Amazing. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Lovely people. Do yourself a favour & eat there, you won't be disappointed. Russell & Joanne ( Australia)
Good food for a low price. Fast. Interior decoration is pretty good. Chill vibes. Overall, this is a great value at this price point. If you're in the area and want to grab some Mediterranean food, you can't go wrong coming here.
My job training occurred around the corner from here so I walked around to see what food options there were. The neighborhood is absolutely disgusting BUT this gem was worth it. I ordered the chicken plate and it looked amazing and taste even better and the price wasn’t draining my wallet. Definitely have to visit these guys again. The food is amazing!!!!
DELICIOUS!!!!! Five stars!! Service. Meat quality. Value. All were fantastic! Super fresh ingredients too. Do yourself a favor and call in your order- you will save money plus you’re supporting a small business! DOORDASH UBER EATS TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY. Everyone should order directly from these types of restaurants - they also do night time delivery!
Don’t be fooled by the (terrible) neighborhood. Very good platters, hummus and tahini. For SF, it was a relatively good value. I would go back again!
Went here, because my husband is Arab, and fasting. And the people there were so dang nice! They brought him dates and a special drink and extra food, to help celebrate Ramadan. They were so kind. I highly recommend. The food was amazing also.
We were looking for a good falafel in the Union Square area and found this place by reading some reviews. I have to say that going there at 8 pm on a Sunday evening was a bit scary. The area doesn't feel so safe. However I am so happy we did it. They have the best falafel I ever had. It's sized right and the portion for the side falafel is more than fair. Great taste and texture. We also had the gyros plate and it was pretty good with great hummus! I totally recommend this place!
BIG PORTIONS, ALWAYS FRESH, PACKED WITH FLAVORS(not just one lol) FAST SERVICE, AND FAIR PRICES... I'M ABOUT THE 100TH CUSTOMER TO AGREE BECAUSE I ALSO LEFT A REVIEW ON DOORDASH HAHA THAT'S HOW GOOD THEY WERE. I GOT THE GYRO FRIES ❤️ TODAY WAS MY FIRST TRY WITH THEM. BUT THEY GOT REVIEWS FROM ME... SAYS A LOT BECAUSE I'M REALLY PICKY ABOUT THE AMOUNT, PRICE, AND FLAVORS...ZERO COMPLAINTS!!
OMG!!! This place is a Gem in the Tenderloin of SF. Their food is made with care & quality. I especially love the size of their gangster burger. You will LOVE it too—-

Amazing Gyro!!! The sauce complimented it perfectly. Better than any NYC Gyro I have ever had.
We ordered spicy chicken sandwich, Nuggets and Rice over chicken bowl.Food was very yummy and our family loved it.. Thanks for serving yummy food and ur service.
Excellent spot for late night burgers. Haven't tried anything else but the burgers are .so my gf and I split the burger and got a Side of curly fries and 2 cans of coke for approx 15$ ..... ANOTHER NOTE: OPEN TILL 2AM!!
This place is bussin'. They've shortened their menu recently but I dont necessarily think that's bad. Their food is mostly authentic and the quality is always good. They are halal and even have a space for customers to offer salaat.
The food quantity and quality is unmatched! Fresh ingredients that was prepared hot. Best bang for your Buck!
The employees work very hard in there rspecially for its location they put up with alot of unsavory characters..i especially want to give a shout out to @EDDY! Hes the best cook makes great food.
Food is great customer service is phenomenal and they stay open all night

First time here. Food was very delicious and tasty. Tons of great options on the menu. Would highly recommend this place to others.
It’s a solid spot with for late night dinner. Amazing staff and good prices. With a little improvement in flavor and ambiance, it could be even better. Review for this visit: Staff 10/10 Ambiance 5/10 Taste 6/10 Food portion - 7/10 Price - low

I’ve ordered here so much, to the point where I received a credit on door dash. I haven’t had any issues until this past weekend. I ordered from here twice after a few late nights out but I became so sick after ordering this time. I suffered from an awful case of food poisoning for three days!! I probably won’t order here again because I do not want to go through that ever. But the food does taste good, just not agreeable with my stomach unfortunately. With so many Greek options in sf, I’m prob going to have to retire this place.
