" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience was just average. The food was fine, with decent flavors, but nothing spectacular. I ordered the mixed platter and felt that it could use a bit more seasoning. The service was good, but the space felt a bit cramped. I wouldn't say it was bad, but I might explore other options next time I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fabulous and flavorful! The quality of the hummus is stellar, and the shawarma plates are large enough to share. Perfect for a casual family dinner. Staff were quick with service too. Absolutely coming back here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good, but not great. I visited with a group and tried several dishes. Some were exceptional, like the hummus and falafel, but the chicken shawarma was a bit dry. The service was friendly and prompt, but the atmosphere left something to be desired; it felt a bit too casual for my taste. I might come back, but I would like to try something different next time to see if it gives a better impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience overall. The combination of lamb and chicken on the platter was scrumptious, with plenty of flavors coming through. The service was spot on, and the atmosphere was warm. I plan to return soon to try more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I got a falafel pita and was very pleased. The falafels were crispy and delicious! However, I felt a bit rushed during my meal as the staff were quite busy, which affected the overall atmosphere. While I enjoyed my meal, I think they could improve their service during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" A mix of good and meh. The food had potential, but the execution fell short. My falafel was not as crisp as I hoped, and the service was quite slow. I think if they focused on improving the service, it could greatly enhance the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit to Happy Falafel, I ordered the vegetarian platter and it was delightful! The flavors were vibrant and authentic, reminding me of my travels in the Middle East. The staff were attentive and really seemed to care about our experience. The only downside was the wait time; it took a bit longer than I'd hoped, but the food was worth it. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
