Falafel Boy (Oakland) — Restaurant in Oakland

From the moment I stepped into Falafel Boy, I knew I was in for a treat. The cozy, inviting atmosphere coupled with the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

The staff greeted me warmly, offering recommendations with a smile, making me feel right at home. Opting for their signature dish, I was served a plate of falafel that was nothing short of perfection. Each bite was a harmonious blend of crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, complemented by a tangy tahini sauce that elevated the dish to new heights.

But it wasn't just the falafel that stole the show. The accompanying mezze platter was a vibrant tableau of Middle Eastern flavors, from the creamy hummus to the refreshing tabbouleh, each element was crafted with care and authenticity.

Coupled with impeccable service and a warm, welcoming environment, my meal at Falafel Boy was not just dinner, but an experience I'll cherish.

Really good falafel and other bowls. Good bowls of falafel with rice that are well spiced and balanced. Fried eggplant and halloumi is really good too. Also meat options.

One of the better falafel places in the bay area. The falafel itself is really well flavored, and the best I've had in the area. The spicy sauce is pretty sweet. The falafel bowls, fries eggplant and grilled halloumi, and vegan bowls (sampler of hummus, babaganoush, etc) are all really good as both bowls or plates.

There's another falafel place around the corner, Liba Falafel, that doesn't have as good falafel but a really good all-you-want bar of cooked and well flavored chickpeas, carrots, cabbage, etc. If you really want veggies or to eat healthy then maybe go there. But this place is more flavorful and has more options. I always go here over the...

I ordered Falafel Boy catering for an outdoor party recently. Chicken Shwarma for 20 people. Let me tell you— it was soooo much food and so incredibly delicious!! Guests raved about the babagulash (how do I spell that) The cauliflower hot appetizer was soooo tasty. It was such a surprise when the food arrived how many bags and boxes we were unloading. I loved the location. The pick up was so easy. The only minor detail to note is that— they arrive in cardboard serving trays instead of foil. Great for composting! But I had to transfer them to foil in order to place into my catering chaffing dishes. Not a big deal but good thing I had extra foil pans to do that. Highly recommend this place for an event and will be using again!! Love you guys thank you so much for making my day easy...
