The Flying Falafel - Berkeley

This place is undoubtedly a new favorite of mine. I placed an order for 3 items that totaled to 20 bucks, and each one was delicious. I usually have a pretty big appetite and just happened to not have eaten all day, but even then I still couldn't finish all of it. it's not just fillers either, i ordered a chicken side and they filled the takeout box all the way up! The portions they gave me really should've costed me $30-40. absolutely love this place, i'll definitely be coming back!

Yummy food at decent price. Fun surprise to find an all vegan takeout place like this

Been wanting to check out this place for a while, and I'm glad I did! The store itself is a pretty small place in downtown Berkeley without much seating. I stopped by to grab some lunch to eat on the way to class. When I first got the pita, I was a bit confused by the box, but you take off the top part and eat the pita while the bottom is still in the box. It's actually quite nice and allows you to eat the pita without spilling things everywhere, and imo makes eating it so much more convenient! I got the pita with both chicken and falafel, and it was quite tasty with plenty of tahini, which I like. It was fairly large and filled me up for lunch for around $9! Overall good choice for a quick and affordable meal, would come again!

I came a long time ago but somehow never reviewed it. This was during covid, so of course I got it to go. The falafel bowl was huge, and came with literally ~15(? falafels for only around $10. They tasted great, along with the fresh veggies that came with the rice bowl. On top of that, the sauce that they put on top really wraps it all together! Would highly recommend.

The pickled beets were tasteless, the carrots woody, the dolmas came out of a can, the tomatoes and cucumbers were rubbery, the falafel was like sawdust. The vegan chicken was very strange. It didn 't taste bad, but it had a spongy texture and also had little to no flavor. I have no idea how this restaurant gets the reviews it does.I think if you are vegan and you are looking for something inexpensive and relatively quick to eat, this restaurant is probably a fine option. But everyone else, not so much.I do have to say that the pita bread was very good; very fresh. The hot sauce wasn 't spicy, but, unlike everything else, it did have flavor.
