I'm all for keeping secrets but y'all should really have a sign up! The falafels here are SO 👏🏼 GOOD👏🏼!! I almost turned around bc I couldn't find the place but I'm very happy I didn't. I suggest ordering your food ahead of time. The pizza place they share space with is hopping too. Put this place on your must-try list!!

Wow! Finally a good falafel/ hummus place in Ithaca! I was looking for one for many years and I am happy I finally found one. It is very hard to find - since it is inside Ned's pizza (another good Ithaca institution). It is probably a good idea to place your order online before you leave, because the falafel may take some time to be made (we waited 20 mins but we were not in a rush). We had falafel, hummus and baba ganoush. I'd say especially the baba ganoush was excellent, but the hummus is also easily the best in Ithaca. Importantly, the pita is also made fresh and somewhat fluffy, unlike the usual thin out of the bag pitas you often get in the US. I highly recommend this place, I will be coming back here regularly!

When I tell people about this gem, I always begin it by saying "I've eaten falafel all my life and while I enjoyed it, I never quite understood the obsession--UNTIL this place." The falafel has an amazing moist, well seasoned interior and crispy exterior that's out of this world. Their pita is properly puffed and airy. I've had several of their sandwiches and they're creative, delicious, and assembled with execution that makes you aware that they care about what they're serving. Everything you eat is colorful, healthy, and packaged with care for takeout which is something so sorely overlooked. They're kind, quick, competent, and gifted. Love, love, love!

Honestly authentic falafel—crispy and light. This place is always fresh and I love the house-made pita bread! The hummus is very creamy and delicious, too 😍

WTFalafel catered my husbands surprise party (about 45 people). The food was excellent; they grilled all the meat in place and fried the falafel on the spot. The team were very easy to deal with - will definitely reach out again for our next event!
