Falafel was very good. Was missing some additional items in the pita (hummus, fries, schug, tahini,, etc) to make it perfect.

The BEST falafel I've EVER HAD!!!I'm making this place a weekly tradition!!!#AmazingPickles

Oh Hippea, how do I love thee? With plenty of the yellow sauce and turnips.I haven’t been here in probably two years and I just got misty eyes after I haling an indie box. I was so happy to discover that nothing has changed. Everything is so fresh and delicious and perfectly prepared. All the flavors are the same and the staff was just as friendly and inviting as I remember.

Amazing staff, great falafels. Who knew BBQ and Green Rice on falafels is where it’s at. I’m always happy when I stop by the Hippea. Thank you for all that you do!

The best falafel in the west!! The falafel balls are exactly how it should be, the pita is so fresh and hummus/Tahini is delicious. I’ll be back…

Its Lit! Fries are A1. Pickled veggies are crucial. Falafal pocket, get in my pocket. :D

Everything was really good and the woman who I believe was the owner kept giving me samples of everything they had. Definitely worth checking out!

Great customer service ,fantastic fries however the falafel/ pita is a 2 star.

Amazing as always. I had the BBQ falafel this time. Yum! Best falafel in all of California

Before preparing my meal, one of the employees hands me Matbucha (Tomatoes, Garlic, and maybe other ingredients), and Green Rice (Lemon, Parsley, Chickpeas, and Garlic) to try: I like the tastes of both of them separately; the Matbucha I try is generally the way I like my tomatoes (if not fresh, straight out the fridge), and the Green Rice is flavorful as well as soft (as I remember the Chickpeas being). My main course, The Falafel Pita, is really filling, flavorful, and tasty: I prefer eating Falafel this way. The fries are good too though maybe serving them in aluminum foil might help them maintain their crisp (or cooking them with less oil/longer, not really greasy, just prefer crispy fries). All of the meal options I mention taste really good without any sauce. Of the sauces, I like the Red Shatta because I like spicy sauces, it's spicier than flavorful which I don't mind since the food already is flavorful, and juicy. The Amba Yellow and Sesame Tahini taste really good. I prefer the Red Shatta on the Falafel Pita and the Amba Yellow with the fries. The customer service is really good: the employees are kind and patient.
