MR. FALAFEL & GELATO (Stamford,CT) — Restaurant in Stamford

Zero satrs. We just had the worst dining experience we've ever had. Encouraged by the falafel sandwiches we had last month we wanted to try their other dishes. I wish we hadn't. Everything was terrible except for the pita chips, and the garlic sauce, and the falafel. My husband's meal (a bowl), had bad meat, thank goodness he didn't eat much and realized it tasted off right away. When he brought it to the staff's attention they said it was good, although admitted it was just cold and claimed it was made today. He told them he just didn't want them to serve it to others and that he didn't want a refund. My meal (beef shawarma platter) was terrible, I threw it out. Didn't even resemble shawarma. Grape leaves, were old and tasted bad. Spicy eggplant again old and had 4 huge raw garlic gloves in it. Baba ghanoush was the worst baba ghanoush we've ever had. The falafel was still good and seemed fresh. Obviously we'll never go back. Just stick to the falafel, and don't bother with anything else on their menu.

*One more thing; the prices are higher than the menu they hand you, so maybe they are over charging? I'm not sure what's...

First time there, and I was met by constant disappointment and just poor structure. When I got there I read the sign, which told me to order via kiosk. Only to learn after putting in an Order I had to pay for my beverage separately.

Then I watched as a lovely family walked in after I ordered, and got their food before me because the attendant took care of them first. So what was the point of the kiosk?

I had a chicken shawarma bowl over that was ok. The pita was probably the best part of my meal. Chicken was pretty dried and not flavorful. I also got a spinach and feta pie and an avocado toast. Please do not order these two dishes. I was sorta angry at both the presentation and taste.

I think this place has potential but overall, avoid it...

I work in Stamford and have been eyeballing this new spot for a while now. I was craving falafel and decided to give it a try. They did NOT disappoint! I ordered the Falafel Platter (which is very affordable!) and it came with hummus, rice, a pickle salad and five huge falafel balls with garlic sauce on them. It also came with a freshly baked pita. The falafel were deliciously crispy on the outside yet still moist inside. They also were huge! You can tell they freshly prepare everything. I am so pleasantly surprised and encourage everyone to give...
