Customer Reviews
There are very few places that I can think of, where I've really enjoyed a dining experience and then 25-30 years later when I go back, it's at least as good if not better than what I remember. Felafel Arax is one of those places. Go in, order a falafel sandwich, sit down, and have your culinary moment. Everything on the menu is legit, but Dear Lord the felafel is extraordinary. Bon appetit.
Simple family style service.
Just passing through town.
The meal was fresh and delicious!
Get the grape leaves!
The vegetarian options Great
The hummus was the best I’ve had in a long time as well as the falafel was very crispy and good. I will be back thank you.
Best in town. My absolute favorite place to go after work and always makes my heart happy and puts me in a good mood. Food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is great, service is great.
Modestly sized with 5 or so booths in a small strip mall that can sometimes be challenging to park in. There normally manages to be a spot when I need it though. Plenty of street parking all around so no biggie if no spots.
Grilled chicken kebab wrap is so good. I always add in hummus and rice in mine. They are so accommodating and always make it just how I like.
Review for Falafel Arax
Falafel Arax is a wonderful spot for anyone craving authentic shawarma. This small, family-owned Armenian restaurant has flavors that took me on a nostalgic journey back to my hometown, Caracas, where I used to enjoy Armenian and Lebanese food with dear friends from those cultures.
The seasoning of the chicken shawarma and kebab was incredible, truly reminiscent of the authentic taste I remember. The service was excellent—friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.
If you’re really craving shawarma, I recommend ordering one and a half or even two because you’ll definitely want more!
Enjoyed some fantastic falafel and delicious shawarma at a lively workshop with wonderful people!
