Falafel Hut Santa Rosa — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

My wife and I had lunch here last Sunday and really enjoyed the fresh delicious Middle Eastern food at Falafel Hut. The complimentary rose water was fragrant and refreshing. We ordered a lamb and beef gyro plate, a chicken kabob salad and a side of falafel. The gyro was tender and well seasoned. The plate came with a crisp cucumber salad that was well dressed, a tangy taziki dipping sauce, yellow rice, some olives, pickles and some tasty freshly baked pita bread. The chicken kabob was nicely grilled and well marinated. The hummus was smooth and garnished with olive oil and paprika. The salad and made with fresh crisp romaine, tomato and red onion. The side of falafel was deliciously tender on the inside and had a nice crispy crunch, very well seasoned but not overly spicy. It was accompanied with a creamy tahini dipping sauce pickled juliennes beets, kalamata and green olives. I would definitely recommend it if your in the mood for some delicious Middle Eastern food. Update 2 Felt like going out to dinner with my wife and I had a craving for shawarma so we came back and again the food was delicious, the service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was nice with some authentic regional music in the background. We both enjoyed our dinners I had the lamb and beef shawarma plate my wife got the veggie combo plate and we shared an order of spanakopita. Right after we ordered my wife pointed out the carrot garlic dip on the menu and the hostess chimed in and comped an order for us along with some delicious fluffy fresh baked pita bread. So nice of them to do that and it was a lovely garlic forward dip that I really enjoyed. After dinner we decided to splurge and took home an assortment of desserts. They were all very good! I particularly liked the Coconut Macaroon. My wife pointed out the Mamul Date Cookies would be a perfect accompaniment with tea or coffee. Overall great experience here again and would definitely recommend if you like fresh clean flavors and...

Authentic Mediterranean food b.s. if u dont know what "Authentic" means. Horrible I ordered 2 lamb gyros sauce on the side they were covered in sauce. Then 3 guys came in after me ordered 3 gyros and were "in a hurry" so the lady working jumped them ahead of me; so nice of her. Apparently she decides who's time is worth more. I literally watched as my order was almost finished the guy was about to wrap them up she stopped him makes him add sauce to them and quickly make another 1 so they could go to the 3 guys that ordered after me, horrible customer service. Then it took almost 5 more minutes to make my order wrong just so impressive. The "lamb" was ground pressed frozen meat. They have pics like they are cooking the meat like this that is a total lie. If I wanted low grade meat I wouldn't have gone here paid $15.00 each for processed frozen meat. The only good thing the place seemed clean but the food and service horrible and I'll never go back. The second pic is of the pool of sauce in my "sauce on the side" wrap....

I recently (jan2025) tried a Starbucks falafel that lead me to want try something more authentic for the food experience So I tried this place The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting The customer service was great and engaging made sure I was satisfied with my process So far I'm happy with my food I ordered, ordered a pretty regular/ordinary falafel #1 was flavorful and not spicy Still have some meatballs made with ground beef or lamb #20 to try but have no reason to think I won't be pleased with it I also ordered pistachio baklava I've never tried it flavored this way but will say that it's wonderful! The place is clean and inviting and ur able to watch ur food be prepared thru a germ free safety window ++ ✔️ I would refer this place to others and would visit again if hungry and I'm in the area Overall I give this place a thumbs up 👍 experience and say to give them a try if ur into this type of food or wanting to try something different I believe either way u'll be...
