“ Our first experience with Mediterranean food and we were delighted. The Beef Kebob Bowl and Fattoush with Beef Kebob were very flavorful and the meat was tender and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed dining outdoors in the early evening with the busyness of people passing by. The staff was very helpful and patiently explained their menu to us as complete novices. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in for dinner before shooting a round of mini golf down the street. I ordered the falafel wrap and fries. The wrap was delicious, and the seasoning on the fries was killer. It was only my second time having falafel, and this was better than my first. The guy at the counter was a little less than friendly, but the service was adequate, and the food was good. Well definitely come back! ”
“ 5 stars for a counter serve spot in the Loop. I ordered the beef kabob with everything on it. It was delicious! The baba ganoush has a great Smokey flavor and makes an excellent starter on its own. I didnt get a picture of my husbands falafel wrap but he said it was very tasty and good also. Definitely recommend. We were referred by a Jordanian who said it is the most authentic Jordanian style that he has had in St. Louis. Be sure to check it out! ”
“ Had to get food on the way to the airport and I was very glad I stopped here. The workerowner was such a delight. So friendly and gave great recommendations. I had the beef and chicken bowl and this was delicious! Such a large portion and very light and healthy. ”
“ Delicious! Im glad I finally stopped here. I got the falafel and my partner the chicken kabob. Both were yummy but I was surprised how good the fries were too. I was also served free tea while I waited for my at the counter take out order ”
“ If you are looking for a friendly, comfortable, delicious, clean place to eat, sit, work, andor relax, American Falafel checks all of the boxes. The hospitality is unmatched and is consistent with every visit. The quality and authenticity of the food is equally consistent complex in flavor, extremely reasonablypriced, and the portion sizes are generous and filling. There are a variety of dishes and options to choose from, ranging from dipsspreads great to share OR get them togo and bring to a party, shawarma wraps, and fullplate skillettype meals, which makes it an accessible dining experience based on how hungry you are, your foodmood, or how much time that you have, though the food comes out quickly without compromising quality or presentation every time. Though one can get dishes such as falafels and hummus many places around town, the intentionality and flavors behind Chef Ferass authentic Jordanian streetfood approach really sets American Falafel apart. The falafels themselves are the most flavorful that Ive tried anywhere, and each falafel bite is about the size of a lemon you can get 5 for 6 which could suffice as a meal by itself! New to food from this part of the world? Ask for a recommendation theyre so happy to help. Even if you just stop in to relax or say hello, owner Mohammed is always quick with warm greetings and a cup of seriously unmatchable hot Jordanian Bedouin tea with fresh mint. PS theres wifi, outdoor seating, and theyre pupfriendly. dont wait! ”
“ A stop at American Falafel did not disappoint. While our food was being prepared we enjoyed complimentary hot mint tea, which was a pleasant way to start the meal. We shared an order of falafel bites with tahini sauce and an order of fries with the chicken kabob sandwich and falafel wrap. The restaurant is small and decor is basic, but the food is delicious, but I miss the halloumi sandwich! ”
“ Ordered for take out and it was SOOOO delicious! My husband and I ordered the chicken sumac sandwich and the chicken shawerma and then shared half with each other to be able to taste two tasty dishes in one go. I highly recommend the chicken sumac, that was my personal favorite! We also ordered a side of their fries which ended up being thick steak fries, the best! The inside was also super cute and I look forward to eating there in the future, post covid. ”
