Falafel King

An institution. Great fast service. Perfect for lunch or snack. After some drinks, even better. It has been here forever. That should say something. Where else can you get a falafel and some Korean dumplings in the space?Perfect.

Fantastic plates, friendly service. I really enjoyed the seaweed salad, a good portion. Hummus was ok, bread fluffier than I'd expect!

falafel king is an absolute staple of a restaurant. a trip to atlanta is not complete without making a stop here for a quick meal. their prices are absolutely fair, and the quality of the food is truly spectacular and consistent each time. the family that owns this place is very kind and so diligent with preparing your food. my absolute favorite is the chicken shawarma sandwich, which comes with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and a side of spicy mayo sauce (which is absolutely necessary to complete this already tasty sandwich). ringing up at around $8.50 after tax, you're not gonna find a better meal nearby. as an emory alumna, I am so sad to have graduated and won't have the chance to stop by at this small shop anymore. will miss this place!

This is a cute mom-and-pop restaurant! It is small and seating is limited, so I opted to take my Shawarma Sandwich ($7.99) to go. The sandwich was wrapped in a pita bread and while it did not look fancy, it was packed with flavor. The vegetables were fresh, and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. The homemade spicy mayo sauce added a kick! Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying meal. I would definitely come back here again!

My classmates are regulars here for lunch so I have been admiring their little falafel & chicken sandwiches for quite some time. Finally making my way over to the area, I made my way here and order the same sandwiches. They fry the falafels fresh and top it off with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. My favorite though is their golden spicy mayo looking sauce which they sell! I cannot wait to come back especially as they were super sweet and fast with service. Its a small space but still has a few tables and seats (both inside and outside). Love, love, love this place!

A strong 4 for this Mediterranean dive just off the Emory campus. Expect a line, it's a small joint with few interior seats and a few outdoor tables. It's 95% takeout which works perfectly for its base. I went twice on consecutive days with friends. It was overrun by students who adore them. Fast service at a fair price and it helps to have a delicious product which I can vouch for. I had the shawarma both times with their only desert baklava. I also added dumplings. The counter service is fast! So be ready to order and step aside once complete. It's kinda like a Seinfeld episode of the Soup Nazi if you've seen. Any regulars will get it. The whole operation appears to be family run by Asians. The food was delicious! Most rave about their in-house sauce which is on the hot side in my opinion. Unfortunately no option for tzatziki sauce which I would have preferred. Wow on the dumplings. The baklava.is not in house but respectable and I enjoyed. Do not miss this college dive. Not gourmet, just solid Mediterranean fare at a reasonable price point. Parking is behind the building.

Fusion is not something that is often executed well in many places. This one is an exception! Japanese twist on a Falafel sandwich? The food is fresh! Shawarma well seasoned but not overwhelming and falafel simply taste great! It's a quick bite off Emory campus and a little gem in a sea of corporate fast food. Highly recommended and try the Baklava (bonus points for not being overly sweet).

Falafel King is my favorite restaurant near Emory. I always get the Mixed sandwich with shawarma and falafel. The sauce is one of the best parts!! Very filling. Service is fast, food is fresh and affordable, and the staff is super friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small parking lot. Walking distance to campus.

The not so hidden gem of the neighborhood and even perhaps the city. Every time I am in Atlanta, I make an effort to swing by and eat here. Food is truly good for the value of-- make sure you ask for extra sauce.

I love this place for an easy pick up when on the Emory campus! Conveniently located in Emory village, falafel king has great and affordable food just across the street from Emory. The workers here are really friendly, even when the restaurant is really busy, and they do a great job making sure that people are served in a timely manner. That being said, because of its popularity among college students it can take a long time to get food if you come during the lunch rush. There's also limited indoor seating, and a picnic table outside. It can be loud with a ton of people standing around, so it's much better for to go. The food itself is pretty good! They serve falafel, chicken shawarma, plus a spicy mayo which is a huge draw. They also have Asian cuisine. I've only ever had the dumplings (veggie only) and they're great.
