A total disappointment! Extremely overrated?
Unfortunately this place didn't live up to its reputation, I come from where falafel and shawerma originate and can tell the difference between good and bad ones, it seems the owner is Moroccan and he got the total wrong idea of what Middle Eastern food is.
The sandwiches and meal portions were relatively huge, much bigger than average, if you're looking to fill your stomach with (not really cheap?) fluff and junk and don't care about taste even a bit then this is definitely the place to go to.
To me the falafel looked like and tasted as if the frying oil had crossed its usable lifetime long time ago (big mistake), then both falafel sauces and shawerma's seasoning were all over the top and totally exaggerated, like 20 times as strong as they can ever be which makes it taste more like non-spicy Indian or Mexican food instead of Middle Eastern.
To top it up my stomach (which is normally tolerant to restaurant food) couldn't even handle it well and had to go into panic mood. I would honestly recommend trying falafel at any other Middle Eastern (probably some Syrian or even Iraqi) place instead...

It is an absolute shame to see such service from an otherwise fine...
