One of the best cheap eats around in Brooklyn Heights! It's hard to beat a fresh falafel pita for just $5 AND they take Apple Pay. Is it the best falafel sandwich I've had? No, but it is a solid option and the falafel is made fresh to order. The salad topping options are a little lackluster-- there's Shirazi salad and iceberg lettuce and not much else. I'd really like some pickles or a beet salad to add some color and texture to the pita. The space is a little small and worn down but that's part of the charm. Heights Falafel has been a stalwart neighborhood eatery for the past two and half decades and they definitely deserve the hype. The staff are always kind and quick.

The greatest of the great - for $5.05 and in 50 seconds flat, you can get the best falafel pita sandwich of your life, packed with incredible baba ganoush and hummus. This is what Brooklyn used to be and, thank goodness, this one spot hasn't changed for decades. The baklava is also outstanding. 5 stars!!!!

I've never had such amazing falafel in my life. The combo plate comes with generous portions and was enough for lunch and dinner for me. For just over $10, this was a steal!

First of all, can I adopt the owner? He was such a sweet man. He took the time to explain every little product to us. The falafel itself is incredible. Just the right amount of spices. The tabouli also was delicious. The prices make it a great value. I would love to go back.

Listen up NY, I'm calling' out the Brooklyn time zone. Since I'm droppin' another Yelp review, you outta recognize my rhyme tone. Halal Guys or Moshe's again? Don't give me that a cappin'. Start walking south or take the L on 14th from Manhattan. I know a place in Brooklyn Heights you know that hole-in-the-wall. A joint with flavas that can only stand up Empire tall. It's a no-frills classy kinda J, that serves a mean babaghanouj. Healthy yet hearty for all, o' so easy on the tush. Indoor and outdoor seating whatever you pleasea. Roll up on a tasty plate with an extra side o' pita. Just a few streets down as you step off the bridge of Brooklyn. Like Anthony B., No reservations need to be a bookin. So, you and yo lady can't decide where to eat as you waffle? These eats will have you both singing dolma arigatō Mr. Falafel.

Great lunch / snack spot in BK Heights & a falafel sandwich is only $5.50 - you really can't beat that! They sell a number of different sandwiches, sides, and dips for a reasonable price. Food: sandwiches are delicious and they don't skimp on the protein which I appreciate. Falafel & hummus both taste fresh. The food itself doesn't travel well, it's fine if you're just walking home but is a little saucy so the pita can be impacted if it's sitting for too long. Service: it's usually just one person behind the counter and they're always friendly, that being said service can be a little slow when they're busy. Insider tips: they take card but do prefer cash! There are some seats inside / outside but it's not really a "sit down" spot. Good for: a quick bite, picnic meal in Brooklyn Bridge Park

Saw a sign for 5.50 Falafel Sandwich, and that sounded like a great deal to me! This shop is a small hole-in-the wall, but feels homey and welcoming. It is nearby the Clark St. Station, within Brooklyn Heights. The owner was very kind, and welcomed me, happy to help me with the sandwich. For 5.50, I am very satisfied. Short walk to Dumbo, so I ate by the Brooklyn Bridge with a great view. Topped with plenty of fresh tomatoes (cold + refreshing!), lettuce, falafel, and just enough sauce. This isn't like your nearby sloppy sandwich, but was put together with love. Ingredients are fresh, cold, and crispy, which made this a great experience on a hot day.
