Falafel Arax

While shopping in the area I stopped in to Falafel Artax for a quick bite. The restaurant is clean; Serving delicious Mediterranean cuisine. I simply had a Falafel and enjoyed it. Friendly, and honest management. I will definitely be back to explore the menu further.

Styrofoam heaven with just ok food. That pretty much summarizes this place. Was told they had the best falafel in all of LA (Los Angeles? Little Armenia?). If that's the case, then things must be really bad with Middle eastern food in LA. The falafel wasn't necessarily bad, but it had absolutely no herbs that are so essential to a good falafel. Falafel when cut open should be dark green for all the herbs, but just look at the photos... And styrofoam containers in 2023, seriously ? How are they still legal ? In fact, we ordered for eat-in, but still everything came in styrofoam. Sure this place is a hole in the wall, but at least get some paper or otherwise compostable containers, not disgusting styrofoam. On another note, the bathroom upstairs is pretty dilapidated and neither men's nor women's had any soap. Pretty gross. The restaurant should ensure there's at least soap available- it's a food establishment for crying out loud .

I got the “Kebab Combo” with no rice, just salad. The meats were cooked perfectly and all were well seasoned. The hummus was a great addition to the whole meal and it was probably my favorite part. The customer service is great and with a smile. Not too much seating inside and parking can be hard to get. I’d definitely come back again.

Tried their falafel a chicken kebab plates. Loved every bite especially the falafel of course, and the tahini covered lettuce and tomato. I ordered the plate but ended up making my own little wraps anyway as it comes with pita bread. The owners are very friendly and most of the people coming in were obviously regulars and I loved that! Will return soon!

Do yourself a favor and grab a chicken french press and a falafel sandwich. You can thank me later.
