  One of my favorite places to eat in Gainesville! The restaurant is modest and the people who run the place are super sweet and polite. My favorite item to order is the falafel platter. Doesn't seem like a lot of food at first glance, but I always manage to have leftovers for later. The falafels are delicious, not too dry and drizzled over with yummy tahini sauce. The hummus is absolutely amazing. I get the combo with a drink and the baklava dessert. All for $10. Its a great deal!

  The worst customer service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. The cook who works there ended up cussing us the F word. Never going back. The disputes started with us with the wrong order and they got mad at us, the guy with the beard who is also the cook cake out saying " you did not order that item sir" with a really rude word.
  We walked out, because we got cussed with no refund
  
  Worst place ever

  I got a bite of the food but before we could begin we realized that we ordered fries and we got rice instead. After realization we realized that the cashier due to an accent misheard rice instead of fries and failed to mention that he misheard us or that it wasn't even on the menu. If he would have communicated that with us in the beginning we wouldn't have ordered fries. My brother got up to discuss this miscommunication with he cashier who discussed this matter with his co worker. His co worker was very rude from the first approach. My brother in a very communicative manner discussed that it was a miscommunication and he wanted to clarify the matter. The co worker kept on making rude comments to us and eventually stated "eff the customer". My brother simply said this is not the way to speak to a customer and the co worker said "I am an American you shouldn't tell me how to speak to a customer"
  We were very disappointed with the entire scene and the way the co worker spoke and cussed us out. We will never go back again because a food scene isn't just about the food but also the environment that the company creates and portrays.

  This place is a mom & pop place for greek food and it definitely gives you that local vibe. Their falafel and gyro platters are so savory and gives you a good amount of sides as well. Top it off with some pistachio and walnut classic baklava for dessert! It's extremely moist and gives that extra sweetness at the end of a delicious greek meal!

  I really like Falafel King. It's no frills dining for a really good price. I like to order the falafel wrap because it is tasty and a large wrap. This time I also ordered their hummus and pita. They gave a decent portion of hummus and I ended up finishing the pita before I did the bowl. This restaurant also has a small grocery section. The only downside to this place is that they can be a little slow and take a while. It's worth it but can be a little bit on the annoying side. I like to go to Falafel King for a good and light dinner!
