The place is in good location but requires a sign that is visible with future customers. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The system is more of self service after you get your order in the counter.
Kudos to the two staff who were juggling to the piled up order that day. We visited Friday around 7pm. I would say if they do have one more staff that would help it would be a little bit smoother from taking orders, preparation, to the giving order. I don’t know how many times it happened but I witness how a customer just gave up because of the waiting time.
Food was good! We had the Falafel Sandwich with Fries on the side, and the fries seasoning is so good! I even bought one. I also add a chicken on the side which is a really good choice. They have their sauces on the side and love the spicy and garlic sauce.
Overall the place is good and this is a good intro with falafel.inc as this is our first...
Read moreIt's crazy how good this falafel is. And the chicken shawarma too. I am afraid the people of Pike and Rose are not brave enough to try 'new' cuisines but I hope y'all prove me wrong. It's a small menu but it's all so good. Personally, the zatar fries are a must add.
My only complaint is the sauce containers. If you're eating in, it's not a problem cause they have big bottles of sauce you can apply liberally. But if you're taking your food to go, they have these teenie tiny plastic containers for sauce. It's crazy, I'd need like 10 of them for one falafel pita. And I would assume most delivery drivers don't even stop to fill up the little cups. Please have bigger containers for sauce!!!
Also, their hummus is the second best in the entire DMV! So smooth. If you've only ever had hummus at american restaurants as an appetizer with carrots or whatever, you're in for...
Read moreThis is the 2nd time I've eaten here but the first time at this location. I am a vegetarian so I'm always intrigued with plant-based options. I had a falafel sandwich substituted with the plant-based shwarma and I had the same at the Tysons location. It's fresh but I just don't like it that much. The spices are OK and plant-based substitutions are always a challenge vs. doing something purely plant-based like mushrooms or fake chicken people have figured out. I liked the slaw and pickles. Pike and Rose you have to figure out the whole parking thing which is not a big deal you just drive in and out and unless you stay more than I think 2 hours you don't pay, you can QR code a website to check. I'll come back again and try their falafel which I think they...
