Jerusalem Falafel House

I always get the chicken over rice and it never disappoints. Added Makluba since I wanted to try it out and it was delicious! Meat was tender and it came with the side of fresh herbs and sauce -not included in the pic. The price fits the quantity and quality of the food.

The best chicken shawarma wrap I've ever had. Great value too - the wrap, a delicious salad with hummus and fresh & pickled veggies, and a huge container of delicious fries for $15. And the people there are very friendly and give great service. Very happy and proud to have this place be local to me.

This neighborhood needed some authentic middle Eastern Street food and what it got was some great falafel sandwiches that was crispy flavorful and with an abundant of options for fresh toppings. The chicken shawarma was excellent and freshly roasting on it's shawarma grill. All the food was made fresh to order and we didn't wait long for it as we watched them prepare it.

I got the chicken and lamb over rice plate. Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend. Another thing I really like this place is super clean!

If you enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine, then this place brings fresh ingredients to your table or to take out. Clean and cute place Staff members are very sociable and friendly. Very very good chicken shwarma and falafels! Very big thank you Jerusalem Falafel House!

The first time you visit here you must try the chicken over rice, full stop. The hand marinated flavors of the juicy tender chicken, the vast options of tasty sides, toppings, and vegetables, all paired into an unparalleled dining experience. For 13$ in this economy is outstanding. At the Jerusalem Falafel House I've met some of the kindest and proud chefs who work tirelessly to make every meal one by one. It's not common to see this kind of service, most restaurants opt to treat orders like an assembly line, but not here. It's all home cooking, you will be able to instantly tell with a single bite. I come extra early to make sure I can get the best charred crispy parts of the chicken, thinking about it now makes my mouth water. This is a must try stop recommendation for me to all of my friends and family in the crown heights area!

Rice dishes / platters are great, wraps are not. I don’t know if they’re using l tortillas or what, but it’s the wrong type of bread for a shawarma and ruins what would otherwise be a pretty good wrap.

I ordered chicken shawarma over rice with Ayran milk, and the food was absolutely delicious. Chef Mohamed personally introduced himself, letting me choose my favorite salad. The portion size was generous and satisfying.

They make all the falafel fresh, great topping selection, good prices, come here once a week. Love it.

Food was REALLY good, but I placed an order through Yelp several hours in advance. I did so because I knew I would be pressed for time. Not only was the order not ready, but the dude behind the counter seemed more at all bothered. He has for 10 minutes to prepare the order, he took 20. Again, food was delicious, but why have these ordering options of you're not going to pay attention to them?

The food didn't blow me away but it was a good meal. Wish they would let me know that they put salad with tomato in the chicken shwarma wrap as a default as I'm allergic. Service was good and fast. Not sure I would return tho as it's a bit out of the way. Ambience was nice, good music, plenty of clean tables. Proudly Palestinian owned, love supporting my cousins.

I work in the neighborhood and noticed this place a few months ago and after friendly interaction and service I decided to use their services (drop-off) for a work event I hosted. The falafel wraps are terrific, as are the salads. My guests RAVED about the chicken shawarma and Lamb and beef shawarma. Everything was delicious and fresh. The shawarma platters where all plentiful and nicely presented. I've since returned there for lunch and enjoy their food. Their eating area is ample but not too big, it is very clean and the images on the wall are beautiful and remind me of my trip to Jerusalem years ago. I would definitely recommend this shawarma spot for a quick lunch, or pick up.

I recently had a chicken and beef wrap from here . The most impressive part was the size of the wrap . I didn't care for the wrap much . There are some places that makes wraps and the meats stands out the most . In this wrap, the veggies stood out more for whatever reason . The flavor overall was kinda chalky and I wasn't sure if it were due to the initial sauces added to the wrap or the meats themselves. The gentleman that prepared my sandwich was also dripping in sweat which I can't imagine it being sanitary but he was very nice and provided great customer service which I'll acknowledge. Price wise is also very fair so it can be enticing to check it out yourself .

Its more 3.5, the place is clean and has seating. The service is excellent and quick. The ingredients are fresh and I like that you can basically pick as much as you want. My issue is the meat is bland and cold. The couple of times I have come the meat in my order was cold cold? I'm not ha fan of cold or luke warm Shawarma. The falafels were good so I may just come for that. I will ask to have the meat heated more but I didn't think that was something I should have to say. But I will give it another try.

Not really an accurate review, place is clean and food looks good. Ordered a plate of chicken shawarma over rice and salad, gentleman who helped me didn't seem to understand. Gave me a wrap instead. Food is decently tasty but just a little turned off I didn't get what I ordered. Rice is really bland. Called and the guy seemed to blame me for ordering the wrong thing when I was being inquisitive, asking questions, and trying to get suggestions from the guy at the counter. It took a lot for him to admit that I was unsatisfied with the communication but ultimately offered to remake it for us. May or may not try this place again. I'm sure others have good experiences. Going to give the other halal places around another try before I come back here lol

Really delicious homemade food with Palestinian roots. Wonderful desert and a friendly staff. The portions are very generous. Highly recommend the beef. Great experience.

I had the falafel with rice with almonds at a catered event, not the restaurant. Delicious.

So delicious. I truly can't quit thinking about the meal I had here today. Do yourself a favor and check them out! Flavor amazing. Portions generous. We were handed fresh, warm and super tasty falafel samples as we waited. A blessing to our neighborhood.

Nothing better than freshly made falafel. Definitely recommend this place for a Mediterranean treats.

The falafel was solid, solid as a rock! No bueno! I ordered via Uber eats but this subpar at best

Fresh quality food at a fair price. I've been looking forward to the opening of this place for month after seeing the long awaited construction. The owner and his employees are hard working, and friendly. The place is clean and the food is delicious with large portions (a shawarma plate will last you 2 meals easily for $13). I tend to avoid rice at Arab restaurants due to the bland flavor, but I was so impressed here. Fresh falafel and chicken shawarma and kind employees. A few spots to sit to sit and eat. Great location next to the 2/5 Sterling Train.

It's wonderful to have an affordable, tasty, and relatively healthy takeout option near the Sterling Street subway station that I can pick up on my way home from work. Service is attentive and quick. My go-to is the falafel wrap -- it stands out from your average falafel spot in NYC because you can get so many fixings on it for no extra charge -- pickles, cabbage slaw, white sauce, tahini, harissa, carrots and more. Fries and Arabic Plate are also solid.

Ok, you want authentic falafel, hummus and more? This is the place. A more-than-welcome addition to the neighborhood, Jerusalem is as real as it gets. The staff are super nice, and they bring an obvious expertise to their cuisine. I have never visited the Middle East, but I have tried all kinds of foods in NYC over the years. This ranks near the top. I had the hummus and falafel as sides, just to get a taste. The hummus was smooth, with a hint of lemon. It was not salty, which is what I need. The falafel was crisp, savory and most important: fresh. They have many offerings, and I look forward to trying more. Check them out!

One of my favorite spots! This kind of Middle Eastern food is hard to find in the neighborhood. They make everything fresh. The falafel, shawarma hummus and pitas are of high quality. Lots of veggie options, friendly staff and affordable prices.

Authentic Arabic food and clean, friendly family-run business that makes their food with love. Will be a regular!

Wow, what a great addition to the neighborhood. Everything made fresh in house daily (even the bread!) and a friendly staff that shows such pride in sharing their food. Zatar chips, hummus, babaganoush, chicken over rice bowl, vegetables and falafel - all flavorful, fresh and generously portioned. So excited to have this in the neighborhood.
