King Of Falafel - Astoria

My friend and I ordered the chicken and falafel platter with basmati rice, which turned out to be a generous portion—just right for the two of us. We decided to dine in, and the staff served our meal with forks, napkins, a plate, white sauce, and red sauce. The food was simply fantastic! We finished it so quickly and couldn’t stop praising how delicious it was. We can’t wait to return and explore more dishes on the menu!

Awesome food, especially the falafel. Best around. Great team. Fast and friendly. They handle difficult customers as pros.

Been there a lot, food is very good. I wouldn't normally leave a bad review for a place I've visited numerous times but I saw different staff and after I called also and maybe they didn't understand properly but it didn't get me anywhere and made me more annoyed. Needless to say I ordered a chicken platter with rice and asked if I could add Kefta on. Platter was around $12 or so, they charged $9 to add kefta. That photo is EXACTLY what I receieved, look at the edges of the tray its not even half full and $9 for those leftovers on top?. There is no rice in there at all, just a handful of chicken, a side of salad and a token portion of kefta on top. Full price with tax this was around $23. Just wow. Bad experience.

There’s a reason they call it the king of falafel. Best falafel and shawarma out there. Not only does the food live up to the name but the service does too. Nothing has changed from the cart to the brick and mortar. Bring someone to eat with you because you’re going to get a platter that is stuffed to the brim.

I left New York 7 years ago and I missed the chicken and rice I used to eat from this guys all the time, could not find something that matched it in Miami, came back with my wife now and had it and can safely say, flavor and deliciousness remains… really happy to have visited!
