About Falafel Place

Falafel fried fresh to order on Smith Street delivers a crisp bite and tender, herbaceous center wrapped in warm zaatar flatbread. Regulars skip the plain pita and pair their batch with grilled halloumi, house pickles, and creamy hummus for a swift lunch in under ten minutes. The counter operates without holiday surcharges, letting diners walk away with substantial rolls layered with tangy tahini and crunchy chopped salads.

  • Fried Fresh to Order: Each portion hits the oil on order, producing a crunchy outer shell and soft, moist center without sitting in warming bays.
  • Zaatar & Halloumi Wraps: Wraps combine crisp falafel with seared halloumi, pickled vegetables, and herb-dusted flatbread.
  • No Holiday Surcharges: The counter maintains flat pricing across the board with no surcharges on public holidays.

Why Diners Choose Falafel Place

Freshly fried falafel, fragrant zaatar wraps, and warm family service on Smith Street.

  • Fried Fresh to Order

    Falafel patties are fried fresh upon ordering rather than pre-cooked and held, producing a crisp exterior while staying tender and moist inside.

    The best part is that the falafel is fried fresh when you order it, so it’s crunchy.

  • Zaatar Flatbread with Halloumi

    Signature wraps combine house-style zaatar-seasoned flatbread with warm falafel and golden grilled halloumi for a distinct savoury profile.

    The home made zaatar pita it’s just wow! We’ve opted for the halloumi falafel zaatar wrap and loved it!

  • Substantial Meals with Swift Turnaround

    Generous wraps and loaded plates provide substantial, filling portions made rapidly within minutes for under fifteen dollars.

    Pretty amazing falafel and halloumi cheese wrap at $14, which only takes less than 10 minutes from placing the order to having it in my hand.

  • Fair Value Without Holiday Surcharges

    The venue maintains fair, transparent everyday pricing and operates with an explicit policy of not charging public holiday surcharges.

    What made it even better was the atmosphere: no holiday surcharge, and the service felt warm and genuinely family-like.

  • Wholesome, Homely Comfort

    Familiar Levantine recipes, fresh pickles, and house-made hummus deliver wholesome, comforting meals reminiscent of authentic home-cooked food.

    Good honest falafels. Fast service, very fresh food. I got the normal falafel wrap with the pickles and all three sauces, and it was very homely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the falafel wraps unique, and what should I order?

Falafel Place fries falafels fresh to order rather than reheating batches, producing crunchy balls that stay moist and soft on the inside. Standout combinations include wraps with house-baked zaatar flatbread and golden grilled halloumi, topped with house hummus, pickled vegetables, and salads.

Is there dine-in seating available?

Yes, both indoor and outdoor seating are available, though indoor seating can carry cooking oil aromas due to continuous fresh frying. If you prefer to avoid the frying smells, outdoor seating or quick takeout are great alternatives.

How large are the portions and how quickly does the food arrive?

Portions are generally filling, with options ranging from standard wraps to large 'All In' wraps and open falafel platters loaded with salads and Mediterranean sides. Orders are typically prepared quickly, usually ready in under 10 minutes.
