Falafel House

We have never been to this restaurant, but I was wanting a good Greek Salad and I had seen this little restaurant on YELP and it was nearby.We ordered Chicken Shawarma and a Greek Salad. The owners offered a complimentary order of Falafel also. The Chicken Shawarma was wonderful, the Falafels were terrific, the Greek Salad was......OK. We were excited that a Middle Eastern restaurant was in our area now and that I didn't need to drive all the way down to Ali Baba's on Red Bank Road, but I think Falafel House needs to do some marketing and maybe up their game a little. I think they have a good foundation, but could do a little more. They have competition in the area with Lentils right down the street so it will be interesting to see who wins?

I tried the FH for the first time at 11:15am on Sunday, 9/29. I had to wait a couple minutes before someone came to the front since they had just opened for the day at 11am, and I assume I was the first customer. (Perhaps they need a bell to tell them when the door opens.) The menu boards were not operating when I arrived, but I already knew what wanted. I ordered a Gyro Wrap, 6-piece Falafel, and a bottle of water for dine-in for a total of $19.92 with tax but before tip, which is comparable to other similar restaurants. They have seating for up to 23 people via 4 tables with 4 chairs each plus two counters at the front windows with 7 high seats total. They have two coolers with cans and bottles of soft drinks, teas, and water. There is no decor of any type, but perhaps that will change. (They have been open approximately 3 months as of this review.)My food was made fresh and was ready in only 7 minutes. The gyro wrap was very good and had a very generous amount of freshly shaved gyro meat with lettuce, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce on a pita (that was browned on the griddle). The falafel was also very good and was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a tasty dipping sauce. I also received 8 pieces of falafel (2 more than ordered). By the way, the Falafel House is related to SM Steak and Lemonade, which is just around the corner and to which I gave 5 stars on 7/31. I encourage you to visit both restaurants.

Filling the gyro shaped hole in my heart left behind by the closure of the Montgomery GYRO KING, I am happy to welcome this business to the neighborhood (been in business a week at the time of this review). Good gyro (although I wish the tzatziki was a little creamier), good falafel, good hummus, very good bread. Also had nice portion sizes and I felt prices were reasonable (in this day and age). I was ready to walk into Dairy Queen and get some chili dogs; this is a much better dinner option.

Amazing food, this place is unassuming but delicious. Be warned it's pretty small inside with only 4 tables so take out may be a better option overall but everything is very tasty.

Absolutely fantastic kafta, falafel, and shawarma sandwiches. This place is a gem and I am so glad they opened near Harper's point. Don't let the simple decor / seating area dissuade you from trying. While not fancy, it has some of the best middle eastern food in Cincinnati. We've had sandwiches, grape leaves, and lentil soup from here and would reorder every single thing we eat. Make sure to come by and support this new restaurant - you won't regret it!

Loved this place. Lots of delicious options, the place smelled amazing, the food was delicious and the owner was great to chat with, will definitely come back.

Decent , not great falafel place. A fast food type. Quick service. Pretty quiet establishment, tucked away in a strip mall.

So pumped to have a legit middle eastern option nearby. We ordered two falafel wraps, the gyro sandwich, kofta wrap, and grape leaves. All we're amazing!My wife is Lebanese with a high standard for middle eastern food. She loved it all too and is excited to have a go to middle eastern food spot. The only heads up is the food is made fresh. It may look like a joint where you can be in and out in 5-10 minutes, but we were the first ones there and it took about 15 minutes to get our food.

Amazing food. Everything tastes fresh and is made to order. Great about accommodating gluten allergy and the people working are beyond nice. Some of the best food in Cincinnati. The beef shawarma is excellent and is not chewy. The chicken is tender and goes well with rice and salad. The falafel is out of this world. Great dipping sauces all fresh and made in store. The hummus is perfect. Strongly recommend and if I ever need catering this will be the place I go to first.

Great me place for Mediterranean food offers at a great place that's plates are fresh and delicious. Great that close friends now visit it regularly... two thumbs up!
