What Alverta Green doesn't like about Falafel's Drive-In:
Just went to this one after seeing the rating with 1500+ reviews. Overrated Mediterranean food joint. People coming here might not have had Mediterranean food in other places. Ordered large Chicken Pita, Chicken Salad and baba ghannouj. Chicken pita was super dry. Chicken salad was okay but quantity was less for a large bowl. Baba ghannouj was better, comes with two pitas on the side, but not the best in town. No spi... View all feedback. What shaomai likes about Falafel's Drive-In:
The banana milkshakes definitely are the best I’ve ever had! They taste just like frozen bananas blended with milk — light, not too sweet, and totally natural. I think the falafels are ok, but I usually get the gyros when I come here. The gyros are a bit of a surprise — they don’t give you those thin, flat strips of lamb like most gyros places, they give you nice, huge, chunks of lamb. Really good! Also, both the gyr...

Pita sandwich, baklava, vegan tahini! let's go! this place is definitiw a must for a falafel lover.

read moreThe Mediterranean food joint that has received glowing reviews from over 1500 patrons may not live up to its hype. Some customers found the food to be overrated, with dry chicken and falafel that lacked balance. Service was also lacking, with some customers feeling that new visitors may struggle to understand all the available options. However, others found the falafel and hummus to be top-notch, with generous portions and a welcoming vibe at the drive-in. Overall, opinions varied on the food and service, but many agreed that it was a solid option for a quick and tasty meal, especially for fans of falafel and Middle Eastern cuisine.
I’m ashamed to say that I grew up in San Jose and have never been to or even heard of Falafel Drive-in until this past year. This old-fashioned drive-in has bee...
