The best authentic middle Eastern food in town. I have been going there for many decades. I've never been disappointed.

Easily best falafel I've had in the bay area. Also have a very tasty banana shake.

We enjoyed our falafel balls with hummus. I also tried their vegan onion rings. Husband had chicken pita which was okay-ish for him. Pigeons roaming around was bit off for his hygiene-freak mind. I didn’t mind it at all as they were minding their own business.
I also liked the graffiti on walls! There was not much of wait time for us today noon.

I've been going here since I was a kid (roughly 20 years now) and their quality has never wavered. Hands down best falafel in the Bay area, and I've tried a lot of different places that serve falafel. Also their banana shakes are just iconic, so I recommend you try one of those too

I've been going for 40 years and it's the best. Had to stop in on my visit from seattle.

Hands down the best falafels in the United States. I am constantly on the lookout for a great falafel, and I simply cannot find anything that comes close to this great and quirky place. If you want to have a great dining experience with the best falafel in America, you must try this place.

Over rated falafel place. Mild/bland falafel, it much sauce, felt dry and hot sauce lacks spice. Disappointed

Hadn't had a falafel here in a long time because I had moved away, they are still great!

Would not hurt to serve with a smile. Sure, you can be busy, but make customer feel welcome.

Been coming here since the 80s. It's been a long time but they keep making them the same great way. Large falafel and a banana milkshake...a classic combo here.

Falafel is great!!! First time trying and feel very good food. Tried the combo Falafel sandwich and banana shake. Pita chips are different, like a snack.

Been coming here all the way from Santa Cruz for years. This place is a landmark! Best falafel, best hummus, fries, onion rings, and the best owner! Prices are reasonable and it is famous because it is GREAT!

In the heart of San Jose, amidst the hustle and bustle, lies Falafel's Drive In—a haven of flavors and nostalgia. Amidst the lunch rush, I found myself drawn to its retro charm, reminiscent of a bygone era. The fries, crispy and golden, were a delightful prelude to the main act: the vegan-friendly pita falafel sandwich. Laden with a unique spicy sauce, it danced on my palate, a symphony of sweetness and heat.

As I waited amidst the crowded atmosphere, the anticipation only heightened the experience. The pita, when it finally arrived, proved to be a satiating delight, fulfilling both hunger and nostalgia in equal measure. Despite the hustle, the ambiance inside was surprisingly pleasant, a testament to the establishment's enduring charm.

Though the outdoor patio was abuzz with patrons, I found solace within the cozy confines of the interior—a convenient respite for weary travelers staying at the nearby hotel. In the midst of the chaos, Falafel's Drive In stood as a unique beacon of tradition and taste—a culinary adventure worth savoring.

Bad customer service. Owner is rude make a big deal about not to give extra sauce even the I am ready to pay for it. He’s discriminating the customers.
