HoP's falafel was, by far, the best in at least an 8 block radius, with only Olympic Pita a real challenger. However, HoP was so stingy that I think they got what they deserved. Only THREE falafel balls in a pita. Only Israeli salad with your 3 falafels - any other salad and you pay extra. It was a poor way to run a business.

Disappointing. Kosher Deluxe and Bread & Olive are edible, but I don't think their falafel is anywhere near as good. Drat, double drat, triple drat!

I thought the $7.45 falafel platter with 3 sides was a pretty good deal. A couple of months ago, I noticed that the new location was closed for several days without reason. Maybe that was an indication... This is disappointing. I thought the $7.45 falafel platter with 3 sides was a pretty good deal.
