" I cannot get enough of the hummus here! It's so fresh, and I feel it's made with good quality ingredients unlike many places I've tried. Generally a great experience, this restaurant has a loyal customer in me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered a mixed platter, including baba ganoush and stuffed grape leaves. While some of it was good, the grape leaves tasted canned, which took away from the authenticity. However, the lamb chops were fantastic! Overall, decent but I think there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Felafel King is a quaint little spot that caters to everyone. The prices are quite affordable, and the staff is kind and attentive. I've tried the grape leaves, but I think they could do better with the pita; it felt store-bought. " (*Curated Review*)

" The falafel was decent, but I was hoping for a bit more crispiness. Nonetheless, the overall experience was satisfying, with polite service and a cozy environment perfect for dining in. I would try again to see if they have a fresher batch next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Falafel King on my way home, lured in by the smell wafting from the kitchen. I tried their chicken shawarma and was impressed by how juicy it was! The service was swift yet friendly. A family-owned vibe made the experience feel even warmer. Definitely a place I'd recommend for authentic Mediterranean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week my friend and I visited Falafel King after several recommendations. The hummus was delightful, though I found the pita a bit chewy. It’s a cozy spot with thoughtful service. Next time I’m trying the lentil pie. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in Gainesville! The food transported me back to my travels in the Middle East. Each bite was filled with flavor and authenticity. I cannot wait to bring friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)
