My husband and I visited DC. He was referred to this restaurant and ended up eating there twice in one day! He just wishes they had mail order!
We used to be huge fans of this place. But recently we visited with a friend and our two young children. The staff was literally abusive toward us and even yelled at our children. We used to love this place, but you won't be finding us there again.
Really fresh, love that there are tons of toppings to choose from and it's DIY. Well-priced, and the fries are incredible, especially with their mayonnaise.
Definitely the best, fresh food available in town. The falafel is dead on authentic, fresh pita bread, their wonderful selection of made in house daily salads & toppings, and the fries, don't forget the fries (to die for).
Not only is this the best place to get after-hours grub in the Adams Morgan area, it is the best falafel I've had in DC. The fries are also not your average fry--possibly double-fried if I were to guess. Basically, create your own falafel with the plethora of sauces and condiments they provide. AF is a must after a few cocktails in AM!
One word---Mmmmmohmygodmmmmmmmm!
Why have I waited so long to come here?! Their falafel is delicious, and with the variety of differect toppings? Takes falafel to another level. I love the Garlic Cream sauce and the grilled eggplant. INCREDIBLE!!
Be warned: That Garlic Cream sauce lingers even after you brush your teeth, but it is SO worth it!!
I'm giving it 4 sporks because it's hard to find reasonably priced food in DC. Its cute, convenient, tasty, and cheap. That said, I was burping up that garlic sauce for a while.
A friendly staff that is proud of its product, a hip-but-unpretentious vibe, and a decadent, do-it-yourself product makes Amsterdam one of the great treasures of the District. Sometimes I wish I knew what I was putting in my falafel, or that I had cash on hand (damn that $2.00 ATM fee!), but I suppose that's part of the charm. This is the only falafel shop I've found that measures up to L'As du Falafel on the Rue des Rosiers in Paris.
This is one of my favorite places in the city! It's inexpensive, quick and the falafel is really great. It's the best falafel I've ever had!
Finally something different/cheap/delicious/quick in Adams Morgan! This place is going to take over soon, you just wait...
Though the staff was a bit slow on dishing up the falafel, I was more than satisfied with the delicious and cheap dinner to be found here. The toppings bar is really the highlight -- not only your basic tahini (and -- vegans, rejoice! -- without yogurt in it!) and hummus, but chickpeas, nicely spicy cilantro and jalapeno, and much, much more. Now I know where to go for a quick 18th-Street dinner when nearby Julia's Empanadas is closed!
I'm a firm believer that there's a strong correlation between the number of things on a restaurant's menu and how good they are. Think Soup Nazi here folks. The Amsterdam Falafelshop only has two choices - Felafel and Fries. They do a pretty good job with both. The felafel are made fresh all day long, which is crucial, and there is a great variety of salads and sauces to add to your sandwich. The fries are double fried for crispiness, but there is nothing all that special about them- they're still just french fries no matter how many times you stick em in the fryolator guys.
This place is a boon for neighborhood vegetarians and late-night revelers alike. The concept is simple leaving little room for error: Falafel and fries. The Falafel is some of the best I've had in the area, fries, on the other hand, are no better than average.
This spartan take-out is open late enough to satisfy cravings at any hour. The line gets backed up but most times it's worth the wait. The falafels are crispy and are great canvases to create whatever art you want at their self-serve toppings bar.
Messy, messy, messy... but good (but, isn't this how all good things are??) I don't like that I have to make it myself, but the stuff is all so good that it comes out ok anyway:-)
