Prior to a couple of weeks ago, I had not eaten this type of food. But, after the excellent service and hearty cuisine I experienced that first time. I will most definitely be a repeat customer. The Falafel Cafe has quickly become my new favorite place to eat. I work here at UAB Hospital, and it is not easy to find something to eat every day at lunch after being here for 4 years. Not only is the service outstanding and the food excellent, but they take Blazer Bucks, and since I am enrolled in school as well, that just makes it an even easier choice for a good lunch.
The food was great, very tasty and very fresh. I had the gyro w/lamb and beef and a side of hummus. The service was extremely friendly and fast and the price was very reasonable. It's a casual, dine in or take place w/sidewalk seating, too. Not a fancy place, but it doesn't try to be.
Every time we are in town we come here and it never disappoints! Great pita, phenomenal meat, reasonably priced, and the sauces bring the whole dish together.
This was a great surprise. We came into town for an appointment and just googled restaurants in the area. Everything tasted so yummy. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap, grape leaves, baba ganoush, and falafels. Before we left we had to have pistachio baklava which was to die for. Our next trip to Birmingham we will stop here again.
The best Falafel in Town. No doubt. Very authentic and tastes great. The Pita Falafel sandwich is very fulfilling and the size of their falafels can keep you full for half a day. Great place for Falafels in Birmingham.
Love to create my own bowl. One of my favorites
Extremely tasty food. I highly recommend the beef shawarma and their hot sauce is great. Note the link to the menu on Google is for the restaurant that used to be here.

I can't get enough, and I dont go often enough. Every time I go its packed. The food never disappoints. Simple, authentic taste. Just plain good! The pictures don't do the food justice. I either start digging in forgeting to take a pic or it's so full inside I go outside to eat at the cafe sidewalk tables and the sun🌞 is blaring causing a shadow🌚 from my phone. I'm sorry! It still looks😋 good. My daughter got "Chicken Shawarma " I got "Hummus, Falafal, Pita Bread, Fries and sandwich topping.. onion n pickled veggies" . If your ever in Birmingham.. in the downtown, hospital area... check them out. This time we went, we walked from the Jefferson County Courthouse 👀, yup a half n hour walk... and could have drove 7 min... 🤣🤣🤣. Hey, parking is not fun in these parts and the walk was nice, we only paid for parking once. Hey, where are the bikes you rent in Bham? Anyone know??
