“Really good Falafel. This place is also Halal, I got their loaded potatoes and I highly recommend (for two people).”
“Falafull is one of those rare places where great flavor, warm service, and a comfortable price point all come together beautifully. If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean food in Chicago without stretching your budget, this spot is a winner for families. Their shawarma is a standout—juicy, well-seasoned, and wrapped in soft, fresh Saj bread that adds an extra layer of authenticity. The falafel is crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and full of flavor, easily one of the best you’ll find in the city. The Arabic salad is refreshing, vibrant, and perfectly balances the richness of the mains. What makes Falafull especially appealing for families is the medium-budget pricing paired with generous portions. You walk out satisfied without feeling like you overspent. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal with kids or a group. If you’re looking for tasty Mediterranean food that feels homemade, wholesome, and affordable, Falafull is absolutely worth a visit.”
“I ordered the falafel bowl from here and overall it was pretty good. The portion size was great which I really appreciated. The bowl was well put together and satisfying as a meal. That said, the falafel itself was a bit oily and slightly burnt in parts, which took away a little from the overall experience. Still, a decent option if you're looking for a hearty falafel bowl, especially for the portion size.”
“BAIT AND SWITCH Nice employees, great branding, but food was terrible. Diner beware - food looks nothing like the pictures. I’m not one for trashing a new restaurant, but will not be back. Falafel - too oily and not made with fresh ingredients Hummus- too much tahini Chicken shawarma wrap - very stingy with toppings and wrap itself is a chipotle burrito tortilla”
“Delicious food, the tenders were very crispy, flavorful and juicy from the inside. Huge shoutout to the Ghazzal, she was so friendly and welcoming. Will be for sure”
