I rarely crave Middle Eastern food, would never think of this as a place to seek out for dinner, and will maybe eat there once a year now that I no longer live across the street. All that said, Mr. Falafel, ridiculous name and all, is something special. Their food is great. The falafel is crisp and delicate without being oily or overly garlicky (by falafel standards). The salads are fresh and tasty. The meat offerings are good quality, cooked and spiced nicely, and tender. The desserts are uber-sweet, as Middle Eastern desserts always are, but if you go for this kind of thing, they are fresh, relatively un-oily, and tasty. The people are super friendly and the place is very clean - these people obviously take considerable pride in their humble establishment. If this is your kind of food, you'll love it. If you don't go for Middle-Eastern, don't expect this to change your thinking. It's great for what it is but doesn't transcend the form. One of the best bargains in the Slope.

Ok this is just the best place ever. For starters they only except american express which is a clear sign of sophistication. Their flafell is fresh and delicious and their platters are wonderful. I would say that I go there atleast twice a month. It's the kind of place that if you're walking by you might change make an unsheduled stop for either a lunch or dinner. They are really cheap and they do except amex but none of that electronic creditcard readers... if you haven't seen carbon paper in awhile I suggest bringing you amex card there and experience it for your self.

When I get that itch for a gyro/souvlaki, I head to Mr. Falafel. The pita is stuffed with minced meat, greens, tomatoes...deng, getting hungry just thinking about it. The falafel? It's ok, but really go for the meat.
