Just Falafel

I've eaten here a few times when working downtown and have ordered to go as well.Location/Decor - 3*This place is in the tunnel system in downtown. It's a minimalist design with menu board and buffet style line to see your options for building it your way. The tunnels have a common eating area for all businesses in this area.Food - 3.5*Can't say that I've ever been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Bowls, salads, falafels, etc. I would not say it is the "best" I've ever tasted having lived in the Middle East for significant periods of time, but by no means is it a poor representation! It definitely holds its own. Cost - 4*As I always say this is subjective, but IMO the pricing is reasonable and it is in line with other establishments in the tunnel system. There is a slight premium, but definitely nothing to prevent someone from giving it a chance!Service - 5*Every time I come here these folks are quick to acknowledge you and help make decisions if you're trying to figure out what to try. They will let you try various sauces as well! Definitely super friendly folks.Overall - 4*It's one of the better options in the tunnel system if you're looking for some Mediterranean/ Lebanese / ME influenced flavors! I will continue to support this business and encourage others to give it a try!

Fresh, healthy, delicious, and filling! There are so many options for all dietary types including plenty of options for vegans/vegetarians. The veggies are always fresh and you can tell the owner takes quality seriously. Their customer service is also excellent, the entire staff is very friendly and did I mention the food is delicious?? The portions are also perfect. If you're looking for quality and quantity, this is the place. Just Falafel is just amazing!

Good, quality food for under 10 bucks!JF originated in Abu Dhabi, UE and has a food truck/burrito house feel. Choose burrito or bowl, rice or lettuce. Pick your veggies (including hummus), then select your meat (or falafels) and sauce at the end. JF also offers sides, such as soup of the day, falafels, tabouleh, or a side salad.As you choose your sauce, pay special attention to the calories of the sauces, posted on the glass. Note that JF Special Sauce is the least healthy. I normally go with the Tzatziki sauce.One thing that caught my eye is that JF offers "pickled cucumbers" which everyone who ordered called them by that name. Aren't "pickles" actually cucumbers that are pickled? I guess that's the same as calling a hamburger a "steakburger".If you want a great snack, stop by and get some falafels. Excellent!The line gets a bit long at lunch, but expect the workers to get you through as quickly as possible.

Love this place. I work across the street and eat here about once a week. Food is always fast and delicious.

So excited for this healthier addition to One Allen Center. I was warmly greeted and introduced to the ordering process which is similar to Chipotle.#1 Choose your vessel: Wrap or Bowl, if opting for bowl, you then have to choose between carb or not, aka rice or just salad.#2 Choose your protein: Falafel, Chicken, or Beef, (their meat is shaved right off the spit!)*$2.50 for Extra protein#3 How do you want your stuff to taste: If you don't feel like decision making, you can opt for the ORIGINAL getting all the traditional street food toppings OR If you like to pick and choose, see #4.#4 BUILD YOUR OWN: -Choose a Spread: Hummus, Garlic Sauce, Olive Tapenade or Red Pepper Hummus-Choose your toppings: In addition to typical shredded lettuce, tomatoes, slaw mix, jalapeno, roasted corn, char grilled peppers, and onions, JF also offers radish, cucumbers 3 ways (salad, pickled, or plain), and my favorite herbs! Yes, I definitely suggest adding some mint and parsley as they are quite refreshing! *$1 extra you can add avocado and/or feta cheese.-Choose a sauce or dressing: Sauces: Chili, Salsa, Indian, Tahina, Tzatziki, JF SpecialDressing: JF Lemon and Honey Mustard*$0.75 for extrasTrying to be a bit healthy, I opted for the build your own falafel salad bowl with regular and red pepper hummus and a side of Tahina. I really liked how I was getting all my veggies in and enjoyed the crunch from the chickpea falafel! The falafel was well fried, and I was surprised to find out they use rice bran oil, so yay for no peanut allergies! I felt the falafel had a mild flavor by itself, but paired with some hummus and sauce it was good!Being their first day of opening, I feel like there is still room for improvement but tis the nature of opening a new establishment. They ran out of chicken when I got there an hour to close, but I was lucky to sample a bit and man it was good! The chicken was very tender and had a nice balance of flavor- savory, peppery, and had a nice acidity to it. I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu, and love the concept of Mediterranean food to go!

I'm sorry I didn't take a picture but the food was amazing. I got the salad bowl with red pepper hummus, lamb, topped with spicy garlic and chili sauce. Delicious!!!!

Just Falafel is located in the downtown tunnel, off Dallas Street. The downtown tunnel is mostly forgotten by anyone who doesn't work downtown, but it has a number of great restaurants. Well, I tell you what... it's well worth the drive in!The first thing you notice as you walk up to order is how clean everything is. This is very important - it shows attention to detail. You can expect that if they put that much attention into keeping the kitchen clean, then they probably put the same care into everything else they do. That puts a smile on my face.What a friendly bunch here at Just Falafel! As I walked in, I was quickly greeted with some big hellos and even bigger smiles. I love this - it can really brighten your day and always adds to the culinary experience!If you have been following me very long, then you know I have an infatuation with salsas, sauces and condiments. Every Mexican restaurant I go to I ask them to build me a salsa flight so I can try all their creations. Well, at Just Falafel I found it only fitting to try all their sauces, too.My off-the-menu Sauce Flight (which I highly recommend) consisted of Sriracha, Tzatziki, Tahina, Garlic, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Spicy Indian, Tomato Salsa, JF Special, Honey Mustard and Ranch served up with a mound of Falafels and hand-cut fries. Ahhmazing is an understatement! All these sauces had a special place in my heart, but my favorites were the Tahina, Tzatziki, Spicy Indian, Garlic and JF Special. You can taste the hard work and passion that is put into every sauce. Loved it!We wanted to get a feel for the whole menu, so we tried a little bit of everything. After the Sauce Flight, we ordered the Original Falafel, Original Lamb Gyro, Chicken Shawarma, Original Beef Shawarma Wrap and the Chicken & Rice bowl - a dish that is perfect for those who are gluten-free.I am a sucker for a Lamb Gyro, so, of course, this gem was a sure favorite. The Original Lamb Gyro was packed and filled with thinly-sliced Lamb, Spring Mix, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Cucumber, Pickles and Tzatziki Sauce. We also added a side of Greek Fries. The combination of flavors - along with the house-made Tzatziki Sauce - was like fireworks exploding on every taste bud! Creamy, crunchy and chewy all at the same time. A definite go-to for me here at Just Falafel!The Greek Fries are another one of my favorites here at Just Falafel. I added them as a side, but I have to tell you it is more like an entrée. These hand-cut fries are topped with a mound of Chopped Lamb, Green Onions, Feta Cheese and drizzled with Tzatziki Sauce. I could not put my fork down... it just kept diving back in like a shovel into the mound of greatness! Each bite was better than the last. I like... I like a lot!The Original Chicken Shawarma Wrap is built with Chicken, Cucumber, Pickles, Lettuce, Skin-on Fries and Garlic Sauce. We had it served with Falafels. Take a look at the photography and see for yourself. Incredible! All the vegetables were really fresh and had a nice crunch. The chicken was extremely flavorful and that Garlic Sauce just really put it over the top!At the last minute, I noticed what looked like a couple of tacos being served up to someone at the counter. Hmmmm... interesting. I quickly found out they serve Falafel Tacos here at Just Falafel. Only in Texas - ha! We had to try them for ourselves. The flour tortilla is filled with wonderful Falafel, Natural Cage-free Egg, Tomato and Parsley and drizzled with Tahini Sauce. Not only is this taco perfect for Vegans, but it's also full of flavor. Unique AND tasty!I didn't think my experience at Just Falafel could get any better... and then it did! For dessert, I was served up a Nutella Quesadilla. It's prepared like you would imagine - a Tortilla filled with Nutella and Graham Cracker Crumbles. OMG... another unique and very sweet addition to the menu! Again, letting me know I am in the Lone Star State with this Tex-Mex influence. Not sure it gets much better!Wow! That is the first word that comes to mind when I think about my first of many experiences at Just Falafel. This unique style of Mediterranean cuisine in a fast-casual environment is incredible. They really are redefining street food here and my quick culinary vacation to the Middle East via Just Falafel was filled with savory herbs and exotic spices with flavors that I truly love! And for that, I thank you guys.

Falafels don't make you feel awful - but you will be ALL FULL! Cause you are going to eat the whole thing! If you don't like falafels, stay far away from this place... but if you do, you should go at least once a week. Otherwise, you are nothing but a wanna b falafel lover. The world doesn't need more posers, get a life and love your falafel.

I tried this place reportedly and was always let down. Chicken was always dry. I decided to order ahead using Ritual app and now I like this place. I think the time it takes me to come pick it up allows the meat to marinade with the sauce. Now it's my quick lunch standby.Recommend, but always order ahead!

Absolutely no flavor!I ordered the bowl, half rice and half salad with falafel. I added hummus and taziki sauce. For a place called just falafel, the falafel was dry and had zero flavor. The rice was clumpy and under cooked.The entire meal was cold. I would not return and I would advise you to eat elsewhere with so many other options in the tunnels!
