So delicious. Every few months I go through a phase where all I can eat is Joe’s Falafel. It’s so good that I just get hooked and can’t stop!! I’ve been a vegetarian for about 40 years so I’ve eaten A LOT of falafel, hummus, baba etc. Joe’s is in the top 3 and that’s including eating in the Middle East and Europe. So delicious, so fresh, nutritious. It’s also a perfect portion (two meals for me—tip—buy an extra pita:) at a totally reasonable price—it’s actually a bargain! AND the people are SO nice. Genuinely welcoming, nice and friendly! Joe is often there and is a very warm and kind person. And it’s clean, spacious and there’s parking. It’s perfection. LOVE JOES!

The falafel wrap was great. Their hummus tastes delicious. Their chicken bowl was tasty and it had a very flavorful sauce to it. The rice is good in the bowl.

Authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food
You haven’t truly experienced the neighborhood until you’ve eaten at Joe’s Falafel. There is something special about a place where you see the owner, Joe, working side-by-side with his sons, Eli and Bishara. Their teamwork is seamless, and they make every customer feel like part of the family from the second they walk in.
The food is consistently incredible, everything from the signature falafel to the fresh-baked laffa is served hot, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. It is easily some of the best Mediterranean food in Los Angeles.
I really encourage everyone in the the neighborhood to come out and support this local, family-run gem. Businesses like this are the heart of our neighborhood, and Joe and his boys deserve all the success in the world for the hard work they put in every day. Don’t miss out!

OMG! The bread used for the wraps was delicious! Family recipe shhh it’s a secret. Friendly polite staff. Owner came out to greet us and gave us falafel samples that made my mouth water. Very tasty. Clean restaurant quiet laid back atmosphere. Thank you so much Joe’s, from your customers that came from Tucson, AZ!

It’s unparalleled. Just fantastic. You’ll walk in and feel like you’ve been to places like this but then take your first bite and realize there are not other places like this. The combination of unassuming straightforward service and truly masterfully good food is not something I’ve seen anywhere else. The only other place I’ve had bread of this quality was the countryside of Turkey and even then Joe’s might have them beat. It’s art in the form of food.

The food was absolutely delicious and the hospitality unmatched. Falafels were soft and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The kafta was the best I’ve ever tasted anywhere. Sooo juicy!! Portion sizes are definitely shareable. We were a family of 4 visiting from Texas and wanted something low key and quick. So glad we found this gem! Wil return on our next visit.

Joe’s Falafel is an absolute gem! The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Kafta Kebab was incredibly juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and everything tasted so fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for top-notch Mediterranean food in LA , Hollywood area this place is a must-visit!

If you like zankou and think it’s amazing wait until you try Joe’s Falafel. Everthing is made in house and it tastes so good! The flavors!
It has the same vibe as zankou but not dry and I’m telling you, you won’t ever want to go back to zankou after having the good stuff here.
Plus friendly service.
Be sure to ask for garlic sauce too!
