Joes Falafel

Their falafel is the best I've ever tasted in all of Los Angeles and that is not an exaggeration Their bread is better than Raffi's The wraps are better than the kebab shop Even the Dolmas are better that Papa Cristi's Their prices are on point Interior is clean. I can't complain. I'll be coming back often. less

Amazing restaurant and great hospitality! Will definitely be coming back! The best food I've tasted in a long time! Falafel was perfect. less

I was visiting LA and was looking for a good Mediterranean restaurant. I walked in and Marat greeted us right away. His customer service was Excellent. Very patient because I did not know what to order with the menu. He was explaining everything to us. They had the right person in the front. Very clean place. They were very busy. The food was flavorful great portion and good price on the food. I wish they had a place like this in the Bay Area. My salad was so good the salmon was fresh and tender & juicy not dry at all. The coffee was perfect & the dessert was excellent. You definitely should try this place. Hummus is good too and I love they give you the pickled beets on the side. The falafel was excellent flavorful perfect crisp and perfect seasoning on the inside, not dry at all. Check them out you definitely won't be disappointed. My friend and I was eating and we met the owner Joe. He was a delight we were complementing him on his quality food and told him he should open one in the Bay Area. You can tell he has a passion for his food. Stop by the food is excellent and check out good looking Marat, tell him the girl from the bay area sent you. less

I do not suggest anyone to do this, but we ordered 28 plates/bowls at 11am and they had it all ready at 12:30 pm for us. Friendly staff, has parking, takes cash & credit card. What more to say! Thank you Marat, we will be back! less

This is a great place to grab a bite if you're in the area and wanting a casual meal. The shuttle lot for Hollywood Bowl is just down the road so this would be an ideal place to pick up some food if you're headed to the bowl. Or if you've spent the day at Universal Studios and don't want to shell out $$$ for the restaurants at City Walk, then head here. Restaurant is located in a small strip mall. On a weekday at 6.30pm, there were no issues getting a parking spot in the lot. We shared the combo grill plate which had 4 types of meat, 2 chicken and 2 beef. They were all tasty and well cooked, not dry like some places. I swapped the hummus out for baba ganoush. I always get baba ganoush if it's available, it's not something you can buy at the store like hummus. And it was delish here! The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful. We threw in a falafel to try and that was yummy too. It did take a little longer than expected for our food to come out but I noticed they had quite a few take out orders to prep too. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area! less

First timer here ordering through Grub Hub. My entree was the beef kabob plate and the portion was a good healthy size for the money. Order arrived on time with napkins & utensils - bravo ! Lone piece of pita bread for a $ 25 the only negative - 2 is the normal amount of pieces. less

On our way to watch movies at AMC Universal and looked for something healthy nearby and found this place. 1. Food - Based on the name, they are known for their falafels and they are one of the best we had. They have everything though - bowls, wraps, salads and sides (fries, hummus, tabbouleh , etc) so do check out their menu. We tried their Greek chicken salad, fries and falafel plus their Lafa bread (hot off the oven) and all are delicious. 2. Parking - Free parking inside the mini-mall - we quickly found one even though smaller area but noticed that people are in and out. There is metered parking also. 3. Service - you order in front and they bring to your table. Good and friendly staff. less

Wow, just as wonderful as it was the first time! The lemon chicken is tender and so flavorful. The rice is absolutely delicious and has great flavor. Their hummus is the most perfect texture and consistency. It pairs so nicely with the warm pita bread. The hot sauce is perfect for someone who likes a little heat. Be sure to try Joe's when you're in the area. It's delicious and will not disappoint! less

They're #1 for a reason! Eat in or take out. Not much ambiance inside, but better to eat the food when it is fresh and delicious Falafel are green, so they have excellent flavor. Hummus is the real deal. Cabbage salad is excellent - green and red - I like red the best. Pitas are a little tough, but they help hold the falafel together without falling apart in your lap. Look at their catering menu. It's a great deal. They have a parking lot to make things very easy. less
