Falafel Salam - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found their Mediterranean bowls to be very thoughtfully crafted. The Purple Salad and their hot sauce are an absolute must-try. The food received a perfect score of 5, and the service and atmosphere were also rated highly at 5. While finding parking was difficult, the overall dining experience was excellent.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially due to their unique 'hesitator plate'. This plate is a fantastic way to sample nearly every individual food item on the menu, offering incredible variety in a single order. It was an absolute ton of food, easily lasting me two meals. The protein portion was substantial, featuring chicken shawarma, beef gyro, and falafel. Each of these was quite good. The chicken shawarma was well-marinated and juicy, the beef was fatty and cooked well, and the falafel had a nice crispy exterior. I also enjoyed the massive, thick, and airy pita provided on the side – a quality you won't find at the grocery store. However, the rest of the items on the plate were more of a mixed bag. The purple slaw had too much mayo and was too liquidy for my taste. The arab salad and pickled veggies were just okay, nothing special. The hummus was surprisingly plain. Among the sauces, I preferred the aioli over the tahini, which I found a bit too nutty. While the price for this plate is on the higher side, around $20 after tax, the generous portion size made it justifiable. Overall, I generally liked this place; the variety and portion sizes are good, and the meats are quite enjoyable. The sides can be hit or miss, though.

If you’re walking along the West Seattle waterfront (just 4 minutes away), this place is absolutely worth stopping by. It's perfect when you want something quick, but still fresh, balanced, and light😍😍😍. The cozy vibe with all the real plants is such a nice touch. The falafel is crispy and fresh, and the shawarma plates are generous — meat, rice, salad, sauce — everything clean and flavorful. Prices are great, and they offer both vegetarian and meat options! Highly recommend if you want something tasty that won’t leave you feeling heavy. 🤍🧡

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I had the best Gyro I've ever had in my life. The quality of the ingredients, the flavor of the chicken, and the tortilla were all outstanding. The price-quality ratio was excellent.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The falafel was good, but there was an issue with the preparation of the fries. Despite asking them not to, they put cheese on the fries. This made it unsuitable for vegans, and I would not recommend it for them.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious, and I was particularly impressed with the vegan options. I absolutely loved the falafel, and the pita bread was incredibly light and fluffy. The seating was lovely, making it a perfect spot for a sunny summer afternoon. Finding street parking was also pretty easy. They even have cool shirts available!

Do yourself a favor and try this place if you have ever enjoyed Mediterranean food. Holy crap the pita is insanely good and the falafel is incredible. Plus you can just see with the window open on a nice day with a really, really good lemonade. I'll be coming back here every week for sure.

I live in WS and decided to try Falafel Salam after hearing about it. My first experience was a sheer disappointment. I ordered a beef Gyro, falafels, and fries, spending $35 with tip. The falafels were broken, burnt, and disfigured, and the fries were filled with burnt falafel crumbs. The staff seemed upset and complained about the heat, which made me feel bad for them, but the food still needed to be cooked correctly. I contacted the owner via their website, and he recently responded, offering a refund. This led me to try the restaurant again, and thankfully, the second experience was better.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a true gem of a place, offering fast service and big portions. As a locally owned establishment, it has a great feel. The homemade warm pita bread was absolutely outstanding!

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful. I loved everything about it, from the ambience to the food and even the neighborhood. It's genuinely a little gem.
