Yassin's Falafel House — Restaurant in Knoxville

Yassin's Falafel House is a place I am so happy I went to during my trip out of town for work. I ordered the grilled chicken shawarma plate, which is served over rice and paired with a terrific sauce and baba ganoush. I also asked to get veggies with it. There was pita on top of the plate, which is what I put the chicken into with the garlicky white sauce. I also got the baklava because who can pass that up?

The cashier in the front was incredibly kind and gave me her recommendation with the baba ganoush, as it is not something I have tried before. I thought it was really good, especially since I am not exactly a hummus fan, and it is semi-similar. The veggies were cooked well, too.

This was some of the absolute BEST shawarma and baklava I have ever had in my life!! I will 100% come back any single time I pass through this area in the future, even if it is a bit out of my way. This is one of those places where you will find yourself eating the entire plate, even if it is too much food for you, because it tastes...

The work that Yassin puts into the community is reason enough to stop in.

The food here is amazing, and they can be flexible with substitutions. My go-to is the regular chicken plate with hummus instead of the baba ghanoush; I also like to add feta when I feel fancy. Sometimes, I get an extra order of just hummus since it's truly my favorite hummus ever. Their chicken sandwich is amazing, but I always need extra white garlic sauce to go with. I also really like their falafel (in sandwich form too), and I think it pairs best with their tahini. I have a friend who swears their tzatziki is the best, so if you need sauce, they will sauce you right.

I prefer ordering online because their website is wicked user-friendly, but make sure you pay attention to the times. I've ordered prior to 8 (over an hour before close) and just assumed that it was fine, then read the confirmation more closely and saw that it would be ordered/delivered the next day after opening. Not a them issue, I'm sure, but something to...

Yassin's is my go to for a great lunch or dinner. I have tried everything and all items are flavorful and delicious. Try the Gyro salad, it is piles high with tasty meat, and salad, love the pickles and green olives mixed in. Friendliest atmosphere in Knoxville.

Recent change in service at the Peters Road location. This is the 3rd time that my take out order has been significantly wrong. Tonight I order dinner for 3, I was missing all the additional items I added on to each meal, plus one of the main meals was not what I ordered. Quality of my items was good, just disappointed in the missing items I didn't get yet paid for, and the large tip I always add on the front end.

I am taking a break from Yassin's at Peters Rd for a while and will try some other Mediterranean Take outs. I will come back in a few months and give them another try, as they used to be my all time favorite. Still Love you, just need some time apart!

I have come back a couple times for takeout and it...
