The BEST falafel in DC. By far. Not one else even comes close.
I've lived in DC for 3+ years and have been searching for a good falafel, but have not liked any. They are all one note; flat with no tanginess or crunch
Hilana's falafel is PERFECTION. The falafel is of course delicious, hot and fresh. But the fresh and pickled veggies are what make their falafal SO good. The perfect balance of crispy falafel, crunchy cabbage, tangy pickles, creamy hummus, and spicy sauce. You can taste the quality of their ingredients and the care they put into their food
My wife and I look forward to falafels from Hilana every Saturday from the Petworth Farmers Market. Now my toddler loves it too (minus spicy sauce)!
Manal is also very friendly and a pleasure to chat with at the farmers market every Saturday
