I found this restaurant by reading Trip Advisor and tried it out on Saturday night with my husband, after spending the day walking around DC. The last time I had a memorable falafel was in Netanya, Israel, and this was almost 20 years ago. Happily, Amsterdam Falafel met my expectations and more! The man at the counter was very nice... more

You walk in and in front of your eyes is this enormous menu that offers you falafels, fries, drinks. That is your choices except for white or wheat pita bread. And in front of you is a selection of add-ons that would make a salad bar jealous. And you can have as much or as little as you want and... more

Yummy! I agree with the other reviewers, this place is great. Just a hole in the wall on a trendy street of coffee shops, and eclectic this and that. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of person, so they really encouraged me to try the many items they had. I fell in love at first bite! Who knew vegetarian food... more

Huge spread of toppings for the falafel- hummus, pickled cabbage, various hot sauces, and ACTUAL frittesaus, the tangy mayo... more

Delicious falafel with 20 or so excellent toppings. Fries also available, and that's it. Simple, cheap and fantastic, with small seating areas inside and out on a wonderful street in Adams Morgan with an excellent hippie vibe. more

This place has pretty good Falafel and is a trendy little dive right in the heart of Adams Morgan. The falafels are pretty good, but overly greasy. You do get to assemble your own falafel and they have great condiments (although they did over fry the cauliflower.) Great value with four balls included. For a fresher an lighter falafel though... more

Awesome!
