"Falastin, Duluth’s “unapologetically Palestinian” pop-up, has opened as a permanent cafe and deli in the former New London Café space. Menu specials change often, so keep an eye on Instagram for the latest details — but expect dishes like musakhan (chicken smothered in caramelized onions), date-stuffed ma’amoul, kofta platters, and fragrant rose-pistachio baklava. For now, Falastin is only open Friday and Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner

"Falastin Duluth, founded by Lyla Abukhodair, Ann Abukhodair, and Sam Miller, will open a Palestinian cafe, bakery, deli, and market in the former New London Café space on Superior Street later this spring. The venue will offer hot foods like falafel and fresh soup daily, a grab-and-go deli with items such as tabouli, hummus, olives, and fresh cheeses. The bakery will produce manoushe, basbousa, and rose-pistachio baklava. A market section will stock Palestinian groceries." - Justine Jones

The venture aims to bring authentic Palestinian food to Duluth, educate diners about Palestinian culture, and raise awareness about the occupation in Palestine. Plans are underway to open a brick-and-mortar deli and market to provide more Palestinian dishes and ingredients." - Macy-Chau Tran

Friendly service and tasty food! We arrived early for lunch and were so glad we did! We ordered and paid at the counter then sat a table, our food was delivered. I had the small portion of Hummus bil Lahme—Lamb and beef spiced with baharat, tossed with pine nuts and pomegranate molasses. Placed on top of our tangy hummus and served with pickles, olives, shutta and a pita. My friend had the Falafel Sandwich—Freshly-made falafel stuffed inside a freshly-baked pita with tahini sauce, shutta, house-made pickles, arugula, tomato, onion topped with zaatar, fresh parsley and resiliency. Neither of us could finish our generous portions! I ate half at the table with a cup of sweet black tea with sage and ate the other half for lunch the next day. Very yummy! I glad you are here! Plenty of street parking for free.

I really wish I had taken some photos of what we ate. The food was so delicious. We had a falafel sandwich which was loaded with chicken, lots of veggies and the best sauce. I can't remember the name of the other item we ordered, but it looked like a pizza, but it tasted even better. The only thing I would suggest is to get more tables for those that want to eat in.

First time in. Great service and kind staff. Got the large platter for carry out. Bit of a long wait considering majority of platter involves uncooked items. Pita bread was cold as if it had been in fridge which was disappointing - still tasty though. Good portion size - large platter easily feeds two people for lunch. I’ve never had falafel that was so spicy. I didn’t mind it (I like spicy food) but it was spicy, even for me, and way too spicy for my children to eat.

I 💖💖💖 Falastin!! I've been here at least three times now and everything I've ever ordered here has been fantastic. RED SHUTTA IS KING. The service is wonderful, the falafel is delicious, and the vibes are off the charts. To those commenting on the prices, I would say that I'd rather pay a premium and know that the workers are taken care of rather than get cheap prices at the expense of others. As for the critiques about limited hours, the business is new and they must be reasonable with their time invested and labor costs. In short, I believe the hype is worth it!

It was incredibly busy today but staff did a fantastic job at keeping the line moving. They happening to be offering samples of the bi Jibna Manoushe, which made my husband's choice for him! No one in line seemed grumpy about the wait and after trying the food I feel like I can see why. The food is worth the wait. I came in knowing I wanted to try the falafel sandwich and it was even better than I have words for. I also was excited about the drink choices and really enjoy the sumac lemonade.

Wonderful food! Def the best Middle Eastern food I have EVER had. Softest, tastiest pita and perfect crisp falafel, lovely veggies and yummy sauce. The watermelon, feta & mint salad was out of this world. However, the bavlawa was the STAR!! If you've ever had packaged baklava and wondered what the fuss was about, you must try the real thing. It is a taste experience!! <3 (Bavlawa and baklava are very similar, but bavlawa has less layers and more nuts.) Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Falastin has such an inviting atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly. Be prepared for a wait to order, but the falafel sandwich is well worth it! If you want to order the extra pita go early; they gave me one of the last ones at 12:15 pm. *Edited to add, this pita is one of the best I’ve ever eaten!
