"I Love This Place!"   My Rating
12 fondducoeu r	Posted on: Sunday, August 09, 2009
	Review: This place only serves a couple of items, but if you like falafel and fries, this is the place to get them. The toppings are excellent...especially the roasted eggplant and tahini sauce. It's open late also, which is nice.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Tasty & Fast"   My Rating
4 Pancakes	Posted on: Sunday, March 22, 2009
	Review: Only recently discovered this falafel shop. The fries are tasty, the toppings are excellent. I really like how they fry the fries right when you order them & make the falafels up when you've ordered instead of the stuff sitting in warming trays.   Pros: 100% Veggie (just not 100% vegan) * Food cooked fresh when ordered * Cons: Limited Seating * *

"Best Falafel and Fries in Town"   My Rating
11 DC Vegan	Posted on: Monday, July 28, 2008
	Review: If you're in need of a quick and simple bite, check out the Amsterdam Falafelshop. As someone else pointed out, it's just falfel and fries, a.k.a., frites (and some non-vegan brownies) and a top-your-own bar with mostly vegan toppings. The falafels are cooked fresh and are spiced just right. The frites are hot and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The person working the fryer will ask if you want salt, but there are also alternate seasonings for your frites. Sometimes a small wheat and a small frites, which is how I place my order, is too much for me. I'm glad I live in the area, as there is hardly any seating in the restaurant. It's easiest for me to get my falafel to go and eat it at home. If you find yourself heading to the Falafelshop a lot, get a frequent diner card--if you get eight falafels, your ninth is free. And yes, you must pay in cash, although there is an ATM near the soda machine.   Pros: Inexpensive * Good food * Cons: Very little seating * Cash only *

"Yummy and cheap"   My Rating
54 Mimi710	Posted on: Saturday, July 19, 2008
	Review: I went here with three friends when I was in DC last summer. I had mentioned falfael as we waited for the metro train to take us from MD (where we were staying) to Dupont Circle (where we were going to hang out) and one of my friends literally asked me "What's falfael" and I was like "Whatttt!? You've never had falfael. We have to go get some now." So we went, and he wasn't disapointed at all. None of us were. The vegan friendlyness of the place was awesome, and I'll definetly go again when I am in DC.   Pros: vegan friendly * open late * yummy Cons: confusion at topping bar * *

"Cheap eats!"   My Rating
30 cookiem	Posted on: Monday, July 14, 2008
	Review: Eater beware, your eyes may be bigger than your pita! At this local favorite in Adams Morgan, bring cash, as there is no other payment accepted! This place is all vegetarian, and almost all vegan, except for a couple of the toppings! Where else can you be assured that the frier is vegan? Why, right here, where the falafel and french fries are cooked right before your eyes to golden perfection. Don't be misled into thinking you'd like a regular sized pita, as the small is plenty, once you properly fill with a tasty selection of the more than a dozen veg toppings! But beware, you must fill up, as there are no repeaters allowed at the toppings bar! When it says hot, it's really hot (the hot sauce). Toppings include cucumber salad (2 types), tomato salad, garbanzo bean salad, cauliflower and carrot, hot sauce, garlic sauce, beets, baba ganouj, cumin onions, hot peppers, hummus, pickled cabbage, tahini and garlic cream. Choose the whole wheat pita for a healthier choice. The fries are classic but fresh and tasty, and you can choose from peanut sauce and ketchup for topping them off. A definite veg favorite in the area, stop in and get some falafel! Oh, and they only serve falafel, fries and non-vegan brownies. But, this place is fabulously tasty! Stop in! Open until 2 or 3 am on the weekends, midnight during the rest of the week!   Pros: Falafel * Toppings * Fries Cons: Cash only * Not 100% vegan *
