Such a variety of food! We've been going to this mostly take out place for a while now. But we also enjoy eating there. Everything we've tried tastes yummy.
Great food! Service could be better, but I'm here for the food! I really really like the cheese balls. This is like the hole in the wall store where you can get authentic food that is really worth the price. I'll be back again and possibly raise my star to a 5 star in the near future!
I ordered food for delivery a few days ago. The shawerma sandwich was excellent... the flavor, the amount of meat and the spices were perfect... French fries were great. I definitely recommend this place

My taste buds are in ecstasy. After 20 years in the neighborhood, watching the proliferation of mediocre restaurants come and go, today I ventured into the Crazy Falafel. I have been meaning to do it since I saw the new sign 4-5 years ago. Today the stars aligned and I pulled into the parking lot to make have a noteworthy meal to say the least. Let's detail it for the uninitiated. I ordered the mixed beef and chicken shawarma plate. From the moment my eyes ogled and feasted on the plate, I knew I was in for a treat. The spices hit my taste buds with all the right notes without one overwhelming the other. The nutmeg danced with the cinnamon a dance that evoked the first time nearly 40 years ago when my mind was opened to Middle Eastern fare. Back then, I tasted shawarma with a Syrian twist. Here, too, it was perfection at the end of my fork. The meats were done to the perfect state. It headlined the delicate salad dressing lightly blanketing a humble salad that served to neutralize the exuberance of the bold tasting meats. Even the accompanying hummus ang garlic spread played their supporting roles in not crowding the plate for attention. Too often the humus is to dry or watery and the garlic sauce too garlicky and off-putting. No there, not today, it buttressed the meat with their creamy and smooth texture and taste. The rice pilaf too made its playful hide and seek presence under the healthy mound of meat waiting stealthily to surprise and impart its buttery witchcraft on my sense of taste. If the reader has yet to deduce my intent, I shall state it boldly. Crazy Falafel is a gem of a place! The dining room is clean, and the colors are dear to my heart as I, too, have donned orange all over my abode. The music was hip but not loud. Even the program on the big TV was geared to elicit a sense of desire and enhanced my dining experience. It was tuned to the Food network for crying out loud, making me salivate further! Kudos to the staff in the kitchen and the owners/managers for showing that small unpretentious restaurant in a declining neighborhood of the Northern San Fernando Valley can hold its own in doing what eating an establishment is supposed to do day in and day out for all that walk through its doors-provide excellent quality food in a clean and comfortable environment where you can savor the tastes of far off lands for an honest price--$20 bucks for heaven. Not a bad deal to expand your mind and culinary knowledge. Don't you think? To end this tasteful diatribe. All the efforts of the staff in this this fine place have made me a happy and ecstatic costumer and fan. As General Macarthur swore, so will this foodie-- I shall return!
