American Falafel, University City MO

Top notch spot! I absolutely love Middle Eastern food and this place doesn’t disappoint. The place is simple but as soon as I came in I was greeted by great customer service. I ordered my food and he even gave me a cup of sweet hot mint tea. Wow it was delicious. I waited a few minutes and he brought out my falafel and hummus side. It was all delicious. Love this place and I’ll be back.

Our first experience with Mediterranean food and we were delighted. The Beef Kebob Bowl and Fattoush with Beef Kebob were very flavorful and the meat was tender and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed dining outdoors in the early evening with the busyness of people passing by. The staff was very helpful and patiently explained their menu to us as complete novices.

High quality ingredients and great service! Does not disappoint. My go-to for Mediterranean food in St. Louis.

Wasn’t the best, food was cramped all in black disposable bowl unlike the picture on the screen. Waited a while until the worker noticed me. (He was behind the building when I parked my car next to it)

Flavor is good it’s just the customer service, presentation, and definitely small portion for the price.

A stop at American Falafel did not disappoint. While our food was being prepared we enjoyed complimentary hot mint tea, which was a pleasant way to start the meal. We shared an order of falafel bites with tahini sauce and an order of fries with the chicken kabob sandwich and falafel wrap. The restaurant is small and decor is basic, but the food is delicious, but I miss the halloumi sandwich!

The nicest women was working at the front counter! The food was amazing, will definitely be back.

The food is cool. I asked for extra pickles and olives with my meal, but believe I got the regular serving. The service could have been better. Beware of the young lady at the front counter; she cheats people out of their change if they pay in cash. I feel that the service was more personable when this restaurant first opened (which is why I come back when I visit home/St. Louis). However, not getting the accurate amount of change this time has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Make sure you look out for *that* if you decide to patronize them. I gave a 3 star rating for atmosphere, because there was a spider web and spider on my table, a dead bug near my table, dirt on my chair and the table next to mine was dirty.

Ordered the falafel wrap as a pickup order for lunch and it DID NOT disappoint. It was filled to the brim with delicious and fresh tasting ingredients and the falafel was on point. I usually go to The Vine because I can walk there from my house. But, I’ll be making the trip to U City for more falafel again soon because it’s that good! Definitely recommend.

Fantastic gyros, very friendly staff. Fair prices. Owner offered me a free soda with my meal. It's the little things that leave an impression.

I would give five stars, because the food is good as is the friendliness of the staff. However, today, I watched the young boy making the food cough over my food without covering his mouth. Further, although he had gloves on, he was regularly using his cell phone while preparing the food. That was unsanitary, and care needs to be taken to ensure that employees are trained in health & safety protocol, especially while we are still in the midst of the pandemic.

I got one chicken bowl and it was $17.64 which is way too high in my opinion for a fast casual entree. I'd question if the cashier hit the wrong button but they don't have prices on the menu so there was no way to know.

I wish I could say it was worth that price but it was pretty average unfortunately. The facilities were also not in good shape. I think I must have gotten unlucky because everyone really seems to love this place!: (
