Review Falafel Time - Philadelphia

Colton M

The Chicken Kebab Sandwich blessed my mouth. Almost instantly, I could feel my spoon growing to scoop up more of that delicious delight. The service was quick, and I finished just as quickly. Calling this experience outstanding would be an understatement to this business. I will be making my 1 hour commute here every week for this delight.

Chicken shawarma was really flavorful and fresh. The vegetables added a limey kick and the meat was very tender. Highly recommend, and was affordable for the amount of food you get

Mr beast came in and offered my friend a gazillion dollars to finish his food and he did it. When you enter here you’ll feel better normal time slow down as you get to relish in the daylight savings of Mediterranean cuisine: Falafel time In short, bussin no cap on god

Best shawarma sandwich ever. I was joking with the staff that this sandwich is the best one ever, and sure enough, it might be. Well-seasoned meats, garlic sauce with the perfect amount of flavor, rich citrus in the fresh fix-ins… it’s delicious. So good I went back for a second one. Really!

Great authentic chicken shawarma. Very friendly employees. There is also a convenient public eating area outside that is just around the corner.

The shawarma is always amazing. The guys in there are from Syria & they’re very kind & always hook you up with the best 3rabi style sandwich!

This is absolutely the best falafel in all of Philadelphia. Located on the 2200 block of South Street on the southside of the block. Family run business. Same two gentlemen preparing the food every time I go. The big difference between this place and others is that everything is made fresh ALWAYS, and you can taste the difference. We normally order 2 falafel sandwiches, lentil soup with a side of rice, and hummus with an extra pita, as well as a drink for myself and one for my lady (see photos). Drink selection includes most of your favorites as well as some imported drinks to discover. Believe it or not for all of the food that I mentioned the bill is always about $30. The same order would cost closer to $50 or more at all the "competition" in the area. I Love that it's family run. The same two guys put the same amount of love and care into every order. Not prepared by some stranger with something they'd rather be doing than work. In my opinion this is the absolute best place you can try for falafel, hummus and many other delicious treats. Expect to be handed some baccala while you wait. Also extremely delicious. Flaky and bursting with textures and flavors. This place gets a perfect score. 10 out of 10.

They take credit card again but it’s a $1.99 fee. Some of the best cheap Mediterranean food in the area. Gotta try their kebabs and lentil soup!

This place is a small, made for take out, establishment. Not much in the way of a sit down dining experience is to be expected. With that being said the food was delicious. My first exposure to falafel, but certainly not my last. Reasonably priced for a central location in the city. The service and the friendliness of the staff was really what sets this business apart. My friend and i got to the restaurant just as they closed. But the staff decided to ask what we wanted and since it wasn't a lot, they made food for us even though they were finished cooking for the day. They didn't rush through the process and we got food that was delicious. The friendliness and the quality food has made me a fan for sure. When ever it's time for falafel it will for sure be Falafel Time.

Arab review! To start off the customer service is great and I felt very welcomed. They even gave me one falafel to try for free. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I ordered the chicken shawarma and falafel sandwich. I could probably drink the sauce in the chicken shawarma it’s so good lol. The falafel had a rich variety of vegetables inside its. The flavors and taste remind me of my childhood, 10/10 will be coming back.

We were on our way to have lunch somewhere else and drove by. We knew we had to stop to eat here instead. Everything was absolutely delicious. And I appreciated how quickly the guys behind the counter took the order and were able to accept modifications. Bring cash. Their falafel is seriously the BEST I've had in the US (lived in Canada and the BEST falafel there is from Mr Barakat in London, ON). If you ask they'll add toum (garlic sauce). The rice, the salad, the pickled turnips. Everything was divine. Great place to eat and I can't wait to go back. Also, their baklava is pretty tasty too.

I dont know how I just found this place a few weeks ago when I am always eating Falafel Hummus Wraps all around the City ! So fresh ! The Falafel is crispy yet soft and full of flavor! Hummus extra smooth Pickles are great ! And the grilled flatbread is fresh and warm ! Totally recommend this gem ! There is a close seating area ! Next time you gotta return something to Amazon on 23rd stop and treat yourself!

Service was amazing, Chicken shawarma was outstanding. Would recommend to anyone would wants to try authentic food. The owner was super nice!

Amazing falafel, chicken shawarma, and humus. I'd give 5 stars but their pitas miss the mark, feel like cheap store-bought which really is a shame for the amazing food you stuff into them. There is also no lamb on the menu which, based on the chicken, would probably be amazing, oh well. Still worth it if you want some falafel and chicken. (Food in picture is *delivery* ...it looks that good!)

Falafel time is a small falafel/kebab/shawarma joint that is predominately for take out food. They do have a few seats inside and a small table outside. The food is OK - it's serviceable for what it is - cooked very fresh and the portions are great but not a ton of flavor. Really a 3 star place. What puts it over the top to 4 is service. Incredibly friendly, helpful and generous. I’m not sure I would run back there for the food, but the service makes you consider it!
