  • Must eat in DC, but consider a different location

Amsterdam Falafel is amazing falafel, and it's on the list of places I bring out of town visitors. Definitely go here. Definitely go to this location if you're in Adams Morgan, which is a nice neighborhood to check out. But please, please, please, don't travel across town to go to this location. The location on 14th street is a much closer walk from a metro station, has a much better layout, and is also in a nice neighborhood to check out. Parking will be terrible at either. This location in Adams Morgan is the first location, so it's understandable it has some kinks. But there's very little room for the growing crowd to stand while they wait for their food, and there are really only a few things you can order. So when they yell out "regular falafel," the guy who ordered after you is trying to grab it because he ordered the same thing, and in order to grab it you have to step over people putting toppings on their pita. Plus there is somewhat limited seating. The 14th street location offers a few other perks too, like I believe you can get your falafel as a salad and actually get a tray to put it on. Seriously just go to the 14th Street location if you can, the layout is much, much less chaotic. Alternatively, go at like 2:30pm on a weekday or some other time when there will be no crowd. Or just go and deal with the confusion in exchange for delicious food. Updated from previous review on Tuesday October 27, 2015 Updated from previous review on Tuesday October 27, 2015
