Mr. Falafel Plus

Sunday afternoon, headed to an ODU game we figured we'd try someplace we'd not usually go. The food was ok. Not the greatest Gyro I've ever had, but not the worst either. The tzatziki was also ok. We also got a baklava sampler, probably the best thing we got this day. The service was good and service was quick. I chatted with the owner who is originally from Egypt. We chatted about his terrible timing in opening restraints, as he opened this establishment just before COVID, and in Egypt he opened a restaurant just before the 2011 revolution. He also took a few minutes to tell me about the giant picture of Alexandria, Egypt... not Virginia. We chuckled that the traffic could be equally bad at both. This is a pretty big take out place, and the neighborhood could go either way. I'd try their shawarma or falafel, but pass on the gyro.

I believe in things happen for a reason - my friend and I wanted to try Poppy's Top Dog but it was closed at 2pm when they advertise to close at 3pm. So we didn't feel like driving anywhere due to the heat so we went next door to Mr. Falafel Plus. We were nicely greeted by the owner, asked what we wanted. I commented on not knowing since it's our first time. I asked what he would recommend. He said either lamb gyro or lamb shawarma (chicken was also available). We decided to dine in. The owner brought our food, daughters were in the kitchen. Their special was lamb gyro with can soda (or bottled water)) for $11.99. It wasn't just a good deal, it was delicious! Tsatsiki sauce was spot in. Vegetables were fresh. Overall highly recommended, will definitely return for lamb shawarma.

Hidden gem!! Service was great! I do love mom and pop restaurants! The best gyros in town!! Would recommend this place all the time! Definitely will go back! Yummy yummy!

The food was great! I loved the falafel wrap. The falafel was moist and flavorful. The owner was very nice and accommodating. Fresh food everytime I go.

Very friendly family owned small business. The falafel is definitely better than most around the area.You do get your money's worth, nice portions.AC was broken I think because it was pretty hot in there but it's mainly a takeout place anyway. Worth giving a try if you're in the area.

Simply put, it's the BEST falafel wrap I have ever had. Period. Story over. Go get your own; I'm going to stop so I can finish this one! Finally, someone who doesn't make the falafel all dry and gummy. This is divine!

100 percent the best falafel I have had. The owner is VERY kind and even stayed open a bit longer to prepare our food. We all brag about the food and enjoy everything we have eaten from here. We are GYRO lovers and I must say, they are the best in area that we have had. Thank you for running a GREAT place to eat!

The sub was actually good. Very flavorful and juicy. I got it double toasted, extra onions and mayonnaise. I can tell they use fresh ingredients. I usually don't care for everyone's lettuce but theirs is good. The owner is a very polite guy. We had a great conversation. He's very personable and relates to his customers. The ambiance of the place is very nice as well.

The Mr. Falafel sub was delicious, I will be ordering more, good service really polite and food is fresh and delicious.

We tried this restaurant out of desperation..... Nothing in the area was open on a Sunday afternoon. At first we see a poster on the door advertising a hamburger for $14.99. Being a burger lover, I inquired inside. The patty is 5 oz. thats 1 oz larger than a quarter pounder. You can get 3 quarter pounders for that price. We ordered subs. They had lots of cheap meats on each 10 inch sub roll. The lettuce was wilted, and the tomato was hand cut. Both subs needed more veggies to amount to what every one else puts on the roll We added an order of onion rings and fried mushrooms. The onion rings were plentiful but were prefrozen in a bag. the mushrooms appeared to be fresh made. Both were good. I don't know if we'll retry this place. The owner is a something to be taken with a grain of salt.
