Flying Falafel - Edit
Plant based quick lunch heaven. Some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. The people that work there hook it up. Highly recommend

Good meal on a budget - Edit
The falafel sandwich was tasty, very good for the price. The fries are really good too, they have some sort of seasoning. This place is grab and go.

So good - Edit
Fast, cheap, and HUGE portions. The menu, and seating, is fairly limited, which is to be expected of a tiny hole in the wall falafel stand! They have two types of falafel and at least for a while they had a chick'n option as well. I'm not sure what is in the sauce they use but it's amazing, same with the seasoning on the french fries. Fresh veggies, fried falafel and a ton of fries is the way to go. The baklava is amazing too! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the smoothies, but everything else I've had is just great.

Nice Falafels - Edit
Falafels were really good, hummus was nothing special and unfortunately they put hot sauce on my food by accident. But all in all tasty!

so good!! (but don’t come here expecting to sit down) - Edit
if you get anything here get the banana milkshake it’s amazing!!! the falafel is good but definitely get it in a pita, “the Plate” gets a little bland with the plain veggies... the seasoned fries were really good too!

Must try! - Edit
We had a falafel pita with everything. Just one between both of us was enough. It tasted amazing. We also had a cheesecake and it tasted just like a real New York style desert. The guy serving us was very friendly, spoke fondly about the place, the food and recipes made with Love! Recommend!

Tasty falafel, can’t go wrong - Edit
Had the falafel pitta, was incredibly good and very filling. It is just a stand rather than a cafe so you can’t really sit down (apart from a couple of stools by the door) but if you want something quick, easy and very tasty you’ll be satisfied here!

Delicious falafel and imitation chicken - Edit
They only really do one thing. Falafel pockets! You can get a bigger option of the same thing in a box, or you can get fake chicken instead of falafel (and it tastes really good actually - i was afraid to try it at first). They also have banana milkshake (using almond milk or something, not cows, dont worry!)

yummy - Edit
Very friendly staff. I stood there saying umm until they asked if it was my first time. They made a suggestion and it was perfect. Tiny place, no seating. A lot like eating from a good truck. Very delicious food.

Excellent - Edit
Great quality falafel and other food served by people who know their product. I really enjoyed my falafel pocket. The only con was there was a bit of a wait in line while only one employee was working.

Best Baklava Ever! - Edit
The weather was cold and rainy, and there really wasn't anywhere comfortable to sit. So, like many others before us, we stood in the entryway and ate some of the best falafel we've ever had! To top it off, the baklava was so good that we came back for two more! Finally, the prices were very reasonable.

not impressed - Edit
unlike apparently all his other customers and his opinion of himself, i don't think tossing the falafel balls in the air and catching them behind his back is impressive.
Read morei just want good fresh hot food and am also not stricken with his trendy touch-screen ordering system when all the hell you should have to do is tell them what it is you want as in a normal unpretentious restaurant. then he claimed he didn't have change, ran out to the bank and shortchanged me anyway and when i said something about it he said "no problem". i guess i should be glad it wasn't the annoying "no worries" everyone is parroting these days. i haven't gone back altho i have passed the place while hungry and will continue to patronize the establishment i like on the other side of town from me, the Twilight Cafe, which is owned by a very nice family, and is more concerned with making fresh delicious food than with trying to show you how cute and hip they think they are.
Pros: food was ok
Cons: owner trying to show off, shortchanged me, touch-screen ordering system

Best Falafels I've ever had - Edit
We visited this place and tried the falafel pita and the plate. Both were super delicious and worth their price. Totally recommend to go there. Expect to buy your food to go, because there is almost no space for eating. We liked that the packaging was not plastic.
Read morePros: Yummy, Good portions, packaging made of paper/cardboard
Cons: Busy street, Very small place, Limited space to eat, only outside

tasty and great value - Edit
I am visiting San Francisco for the first time and decided to try something near my hotel. This was great value and so tasty! There is a small table but you can take away your food. We both got the felafel plate which was very very filling. We also got the banana shake and the cheesecake as well. Yum!

Good vegan eats - Edit
Found this gem of good vegan eating here on Happy Cow. Delicious food, friendly fun knowledgeable service. Freshly baked pita, vegan baklava add to the delicious cooked to order falafel. Fresh veggies to choose from to top your pita or platter. Everything done right in front of you, so interesting to watch. Expect slight wait time since cooked when ordered. Very affordable, portable, which is good because it's very compact space, with only one table outside for dining. Definitely take-out, and so good!
Read moreConveniently located in SoMa, bordering Tenderloin district, on busy Market street. Edge of shopping area, so be vigilant walking to/from since there were panhandlers on sidewalks nearby when we visited. Market Street restricted driving, park on side streets & walk around corner or take public transportation.
Pros: 100% vegan deliciousness, Very affordable prices, ample portions, Fun, friendly, knowledgeable service
Cons: Take out only, Side street parking, Neighborhood still in "come back" phase

I Second That - Edit
Read the positive reviews about the friendly service, low prices and decent food. That was my experience too. Got two falafels, enjoyed them at a movie, even though we're not supposed to do that, but what are two vegans on the run to do? It was the perfect food for a movie, very easy to eat and not cause a mess. I've had better falafels, but the taste of this one was okay.

great value - Edit
We stopped by with a fairly large group of people, so we had to wait a bit as they were only two employees/owners handling everything, but it was worth the wait. The servings are large and reasonably priced. You order in one line and pick up in the other to customize your toppings. We both got all the toppings on the full size pita with Dirk getting the spicy falafel while I got the sesame ones. We also ordered dolmas and baklava with tabbouleh for later. So tasty and all vegan! It's just a take out counter with no seating or restroom, just a standup table outside, but it's a great value. They also support animal rights groups, so please go support them too.
