Beef & Lamb Shawarma Roll Up. I was not impressed. Garlic sauce was very good but the meat was gummy and not fresh.

This art on the wall was made by the owner, whose first business and love is art.

Hole in the wall falafel place with, hands down, the best falafel you'll find in the Boston area. Made fresh, quality has always been consistent. Crispy on the outside, fresh & green on the inside. I tend to get their plate, so it is offered with the eggplant sides, hummus, pita, pickled vegetables, etc. I'd say the sides are great too, but the main star is the falafel. Eat it fresh - that is when it's best. Pricing is around $12 per person. $15-ish if you add baklava for dessert. Minimal seating options, I'd recommend this for take-out. Staff is nice and will usually try to upsell you (add the drink, add the dessert, add another side! Lol).

I wish I took a picture of our food so badly! It was amazing, I've just discovered my favorite shawarma roll up and shawarma plate in Boston. By far surpasses all of my other reviews. This place makes my 4 star spots taste like a 2 star! We got the lam shawarma roll up, chicken and lamb mixed shawarma roll up, and chicken shawarma plate and all three were phenomenal. Also the BAKLAVA is one of the best we have ever had. I would cater this! And $1.24 a piece is really good for the flavor! Also the service and customer service from the man behind the counter was great! It was warm and toasty inside the tiny hole in the wall style place and the food was just phenomenal and so full of flavor. They even make their own spicy sauce and garlic sauce. 10/10 highly recommend.

We tried Falafel Place years ago shortly after they first opened and weren't impressed. After our usual go-to falafel/shawarma place wasn't delivering this weekend we decided to give them another try.Won't be fooled again.Shawarma: gristle-filled and not flavorable.Falafel: fine, nothing outstanding.Baba ganoush: tasted like boiled eggplant puree. Very underseasoned, lacking the distinctive "char' flavor and more importantly any lemon.Rice: overcooked and soggy??Fries: Inedible. It's like all of the salt and pepper that could have gone into other dishes were piled onto the fries. We had to *scrape* the salt and pepper off of each fry and even then we ditched them, tossing almost the entire order in the trash. The picture doesn't even do it justice, they were *crunchy* with salt and pepper.Because there are always some silver linings, I will say they delivered quickly (went through their site, rather than GH or UE or a third party) and they are not expensive. However, when you're tossing half of what you receive it doesn't really matter how cheap it is.

The hummus, falafel, and baba ghanoush are outstanding. But why are there so many flies??? Something is up in that kitchen. And the place smells like body odor. I'll still come here because it's good and there's nothing else like it in Winter Hill, but I hope they get their act together.

Got delivery and it was delicious. Chicken shawarma plate (over rice and salad), with some extras for $1 each. The hot sauce is fire. Nice, hearty, plate of middle eastern comfort food!

I almost never give one star, but order tonight was a total fail. Go to Sam's Falafel nearby instead (and feel free to say Desiree sent you). Detail: Got the BOGO falafel roll ups with extra for fries and shawarma sides to try the place for the first time. First, no fries orders at all. Only one of the shawarma sides showed up, which managed to be both dry and simultaneously soaked in a lake of grease. (No indication of type of shawarma on side add on listing btw.) The falafel wraps did not contain crisp falafel, but some sort of cheap, almost tasteless, undercooked flour mush. Pita was pitiful. No reason to be this bad, only a few minutes away. So sad.I repeat: go to Sam's instead. Fresh and delish.

If you are looking for pita's made out of recycled cardboard and mediocre service/food while in the Boston area, this is the place for you.

Paid via Grubhub. For some reason it's slightly less expensive on there than their own website. They sent me Steven N's food instead. So I called the delivery service, "Grabull". Some lady answered, sounded like some guys' mother just answering her kitchen phone and asked me questions to which she would interrupt my answers in order to berate me. Example: She would ask, "what's the last 4 digits on the order number." I would respond, "Well, on this order..." and before I could get to the digits, she would stop be to tell me what I'm doing wrong and that she only needs to hear the thing she asked for. Anyway, after looking it up for like 5 minutes she finally stopped breathing into the mic and told me she couldnt do anything and has no idea why her driver picked up the wrong thing, she certainly didn't tell him to do that. Thanks, idiot. After getting off the phone with her I called the restaurant.Then the guy there said "are you Michael by chance?" Because he knew the driver picked up the wrong order. he'd be willing to, "make my food" if only he had a driver but he doesn't. OH WELL. "What do you want me to do?""I want my food or money back," I said. He began to berate me over what I had to say, telling me, "If you're gonna talk to me like that" to which I promptly hung up. Then he called back 4 times. I picked up and he starts off with, "we got off on the wrong foot. But you are being unreasonable" or something equally nonsensical.And then I started repeating, "do you have my money or food?" 4x until he said no and I hung up and got Grubhub to give me a refund. Fuck Falafel Place. They get the food right 20% of the time anyway and the staff are trash. Gladly will go out of my way to make sure people looking for shawarma or falafel go elsewhere.

Good service was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's cozy decor and friendly staff instantly made me feel at home.

I don't usually write reviews but I had to. This restaurant was dynomite a year ago but I got it tonight and it wasn't good at all. I got no hot sauce no dressing and the food was Luke warm. The baklava was disgusting. I don't know if the changed hands or cooks but went downhill bad.
