A little about this place
About Falafel King
Falafel King is a long-running, family-owned Middle Eastern counter on the Stephen Avenue pedestrian mall at 225 8 Avenue SW. Falafel is made fresh in house for wraps and plates, alongside chicken and beef shawarma and donair wraps and platters with rice, salad and pita, donair poutine, an avocado chicken bowl, hummus, hot sauce and counter sweets, with a piece of baklava often added. The long, narrow dining room has plenty of seating, service stays quick through the lunch rush, and catering is offered.
