Falafel Boy (Oakland)

“seriously impressed by how tehy make everything fresh watched them form the falafel balls right in front of me. the spice blend is authentic reminds me of the best middle eastern places ive tried”

“like teh hot sauce lacks complexity compared to actual middle eastern condiments like its more heat than it is flavor depth”

“literally vegan paradise honestly their falafel wrap wiht extra vegetables hummus and hot sauce hits all the right notes. love that theyre generous with the fresh tomatoes cucumbers and lettuce makes it feel like a real meal”

“limited vegan protein options tho beyond falafel would be amazing if they added some grilled vegetables or tempeh to the menu ugh”

“def tehy clearly get the gluten free thing here - staff immediately offered to check ingredients and suggested the rice bowl option which was solid. the falafel is naturally gluten free and they were actually careful about cross contamination with prep surfaces trust me”

“like the gluten free pita substitute they offered was disappointingly thin and flavorless - more like a sad tortilla than actual bread to hold all the delicious fillings”

“i mean the texture contrasts in their combo plate are honestly incredible - crispy falafel exterior that gives way to that fluffy almost mousse like interior while the tahini provides this silky nutty coating that ties everything together beautifully”

“the rice underneath tho was unfortunately mushy adn overcooked losing that individual grain texture that would've given nice contrast to all the creamy sauces”

“so grateful to find authentic halal falafel in oakland!!!! look the falafel at falafel boy is crispy on the outside fluffy inside and made fresh to order thier tahini sauce is creamy perfection”

“seriously teh pita bread was kinda dry and could've been warmed up better made the sandwich harder to eat without stuff falling out meh”

“thier falafel wrap with extra hummus and all the fresh veggies is just perfect for vegans honestly. yo the falafel balls have this wonderful crispy outside that gives way to fluffy herb PACKED centers and they're generous with the tahini sauce which is clutch meh”

“the pita bread was unfortunately stale and tough - should be soft and pillowy to properly hold all those delicious fillings together but it just wasn't happening”

“ok so love teh fresh ingredients and generous portions the falafel plate with salad is packed with protein and fiber!!! everything tastes clean and healthy perfect for a quick nutritious meal”

“the hummus is quite heavy on the oil which adds unnecessary calories to an otherwise light and healthy meal”
