Lotus Falafel and Shawerma-OAKLAND

Fine food but was charged extra "convenience fee" on my check when I ordered to go. Fee was not mentioned anywhere on the menu nor by the attendant. I thought of protesting but was in a mood for lunch not arguing with someone about their shady practices, so I'm simply leaving this review instead.

CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS! This is my preferred falafel spot. The meat is good quality, the rice is wonderful, and the hummus is creamy and so flavorful. The falafel is crunchy and not oily and sooo good! This is the House Special.

So tasty with the kindest staff!!

Okay wanted to try this for a while drove, 20 minutes to get this, chicken was dry, hard, salty and was not fresh too salty for my taste.. I can tell I got leftover chicken crums at the bottom so no the chicken in all was not freshly made. Had to throw it away. The salad was okay bread was cold from the refrigerator also not fresh.

Nicely done, mom and pop feel

The food here is very good. I'll come back to it. I wanted to focus on the service which is also amazing. you really feel like you're a part of their family here and that's something that is difficult to find these days. The food itself is amazing. Everything is delicious and worth every penny. Personally, these are some of my favorite falafel anywhere. They aren't dried out, and are packed with flavor. The Feta Sandwich is also a winner!
