I walked In To give this place a try and I was immediately told they can’t serve me right now because the kitchen was working on a big order. It was going to be 90 minutes of a wait to place an order. So I saw they had a fountain drink machine with filtered water, so I asked for an ice water to go. She gave me a facet water instead of filtered and it had black stuff in it. My chances of going back to try the food are now very slim. That’s poor customer service
Me & bae were out shopping and it happened to b Easter day & every restaurant we chose was closed.I had a thought to try Illegal burrito but like I said it was closed.Bae was n the mood for some Mediterranean so we gave Falafel king a try.Omg,Delicious!We had the swarama and gyro with pita bread;Bae had chicken & beef and I had lamb & chicken.Don't ask me which is which between a gyro or swarama because I'm not sureOk this wasn't my 1st experience with Mediterranean food.I had it at a shop in the Riverwalk.The chicken was awful there but the lamb was so good so I decided to get the lamb here.Guess wat? The chicken ANNND the lamb was FANTASTIC here.The chicken was seared I believe that's wat its called was so delicious and flavorful but the lamb..o my goodness?..the lamb was something so MUCH BETTERHere it was served on a generous bed of yellow rice we couldn't eat everything in one sitting honestly.We had pita bread, some stuff that looked like sour cream, that chick pea paste with chopped garlic chickpeas on top of that & a salad on side of that with the rice.I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the names but bae knows it.Anyway you just top ur pita bread with these sides like a small handheld sandwich or u can eat it like a regular meal off a plate with a fork- it's up 2 u.I'm glad I came & if u gave them a try I'm sure u would b glad u did 2I know I'm coming back!
We ordered the King's Combination and 3 different flatbreads for a fabulous Easter feast. Their mint lemonade slushie was so refreshing and our meal was topped off with divine pastries. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent! I highly recommend Falafel King. Can't wait to go back!

Food was great the Falafel was phenomenal and the soup was awesome ? chicken and beef shawarma were good too but I mostly loved the Falafel
Delicious food and great service! I had the grilled salmon platter, chicken shawarma pie and chicken Tika plate and it was delicious! The staff treats you like family and makes sure you have a great experience. Highly recommend!
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Nice little place with flavorful food and great staff. Don't take my word for it, try for yourself and you'll agree with me :)
Nothing beats supporting local! Wonderful family ran Mediterranean Restaurant in Metairie. You can taste the love, and care that goes into their food. Don't sleep on Falafel King.
This place is great! Food is great, good sized portions for the cost, and the staff was very friendly. Chicken shawarma salad was fresh and very tasty!
Boooooo. Go literally anywhere else. It takes a lot for me to waste food, and I ate what I could stomach of a Greek salad with gyro meat, before I had to toss it. The salad is soaked with the foulest red wine vinegar and parsley. There were like two tablespoons of it in the bottom of the container. Asked for gyro meat on the side (for takeout) and it was on top of the salad, so extremely soggy and gross. Also had one bland falafel and hummus that tastes like a jar of cummin. It might be good on some fusion tacos ?The whole time I was trying to eat it, my mind was blown by how bad it was. There are at least five better places for Middle Eastern food in Metairie, so trust me, pick anywhere else.
