Located in the vibrant heart of Philadelphia, Falafel Time stands out as a premier Mediterranean destination, renowned for its exceptional falafel and diverse menu offerings. Customers rave about the freshness and quality of the dishes, proclaiming it to be the best falafel in the city. One enthusiast, PaulS, asserts it rivals any falafel he's tasted across the Middle East, an impressive endorsement.

Many diners, like Colton M and D A, were particularly taken with the Chicken Kebab Sandwich and the vegetarian options, noting the quick service that complements the delectable flavors. D A elaborates on the family-run charm of the establishment, highlighting the consistent care and attention given by the same chefs during each visit. This personal touch combined with affordable pricing makes dining here a delightful experience that does not break the bank.

The menu features a variety of dishes, including lentil soup and hummus, praised for their depth of flavor. First-timers are equally impressed, as noted by Pittsburgh Paulie, who found the staff to be helpful and welcoming. Falafel Time is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey where every bite tells a delicious story and leaves you craving for more.

I’ve traveled extensively through the Middle East and this is by far the best Falafel I’ve ever had. Chicken Schwarma was superb. Price is right. Absolutely delicious

The Chicken Kebab Sandwich blessed my mouth. Almost instantly, I could feel my spoon growing to scoop up more of that delicious delight. The service was quick, and I finished just as quickly. Calling this experience outstanding would be an understatement to this business. I will be making my 1 hour commute here every week for this delight.

Went with a friend, I ordered some falafel and fries to go. Food was made relatively quickly (10 minutes) and was absolutely delicious. Had a decent amount of vegetarian options.

This is absolutely the best falafel in all of Philadelphia. Located on the 2200 block of South Street on the southside of the block. Family run business. Same two gentlemen preparing the food every time I go. The big difference between this place and others is that everything is made fresh ALWAYS, and you can taste the difference. We normally order 2 falafel sandwiches, lentil soup with a side of rice, and hummus with an extra pita, as well as a drink for myself and one for my lady (see photos). Drink selection includes most of your favorites as well as some imported drinks to discover. Believe it or not for all of the food that I mentioned the bill is always about 30. The same order would cost closer to 50 or more at all the "competition" in the area. I Love that it's family run. The same two guys put the same amount of love and care into every order. Not prepared by some stranger with something they'd rather be doing than work. In my opinion this is the absolute best place you can try for falafel, hummus and many other delicious treats. Expect to be handed some baccala while you wait. Also extremely delicious. Flaky and bursting with textures and flavors. This place gets a perfect score. 10 out of 10.

First time ever having Falafel and the chef was very helpful with me and guiding me to which sandwich I want. After I had a sample of the vegetarian, I just decided I’ll get both vegetarian and chicken after my order was done. I went in my car. I ate both wraps and they are amazing if you were grateful awful come to Falafel Time on 2214 South Street Philadelphia,Pa

Excellent shawarma. Everything is fresh, spice mix is great. Make sure to ask for pomegranate molasses The garlic sauce is very heavy on mayo so if you don't like mayo like me then get a different sauce.

Great portions. I was very full, and it was fast and very budget-friendly. The food was hot, seasoned perfectly, and fresh, crispy vegetables. It is a great family-owned place. I felt welcomed and the people were very friendly. Overall, it was a great experience. I will definitely come again.
