Loved this place! I only had the shrimp skewer appetizer, which comes with a delicious salad, hummus, tahini and baba ghanoush. It was a generous serving, almost like a full meal. I swapped the tahini for tzatziki though to keep the calories lower and it was delicious. Even the shrimp on its own without dipping it in anything was perfectly grilled and seasoned. My spouse had the Greek salad and loved it. All the ingredients are fresh and tasty. The prices are also very reasonable. And the staff is an absolute joy, especially Manuel. He was super friendly, informative, and genuinely positive and lovely to talk to. Will go again!

Great food. Friendly staff. Good music. I feel like I found my people. Got some green sauce to take home and didn’t regret it at all Lots of vegetarian and vegan options in this dairy and meat riddled country

Went here for lunch with my family and had an amazing experience. Emanuel was very friendly and helpful with recommendations, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the Mixed Grill—especially loved the ribeye beef skewer! It came with warm, fluffy pita, tasty garlic sauce, creamy hummus, and rice. We also got the falafel plate which is a great vegetarian option. The hibiscus lemonade and ginger lemonade were super refreshing, and the passion fruit ale was a unique must-try. Great food, wonderful service, and an overall enjoyable dining experience.

Our party of eight went late last night on New Years Eve. We were seated quickly and were well looked after. I had the chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was huge, very tasty and the fries were awesome and hot. An excellent meal, all enjoyed their dinner. The price was very reasonable. We definitely will go back.

Right in the middle of town. Great atmosphere. Really good music. We used to go here 3 years straight during covid years and couldn’t wait to come back and it is still just as good. The food is just incredible. An our server Tefi was the best. Very friendly and gave us a treat to take home that was delicious. We will be back again for sure. Highly recommend!

I love this place! Eaten there many times and I just keep going. The chicken shawarma pita is super tasty and a full meal. If you get, don’t order any appetizers.

Amazing vibes, great service, the falafel is above and beyond where it is balanced between the tahini, veggies, and the falafel with amazing soft bread

I read the 1-star reviews left previously by others before giving a 5-star to balance and check myself. When rating an establishment one must factor in location, comparative food in the area, and the history of the world. For example, pricing is always high in a beach town. This is the only Middle Eastern place in a town with mostly Latin food places, therefore gathering ingredients from distributors for Middle Eastern food is not easy. Owned by an Israeli, one commenter of a 1-star review tried to accuse this place of cultural appropriation. Fool, Israeli folk have been eating falafel alongside their Arab cousins since humans first ground beans on this portion of the globe. As for the person carrying on in their 1- star review about a dead bug, YOU ARE IN THE TROPICS! The food, service, and atmosphere were all perfect. Falafel Bar is by all means 5-star.
