This place is just a tad grimy but the food was actually pretty decent. I had a falafel pita sandwich which was respectable, given the price, and probably the best I've had in Uptown (which isn't saying too much, as there's much better falafel to be had outside of Uptown).
The service was kind of slow. My tiny order took a good 10 minutes to arrive, but maybe that means it was made fresh?
With the low prices, late hours and halfway decent food, I am satisfied with Falafel King. I wouldn't ever crave it or go out of my way to have it, but I would eat there if I'm hungry and in the neighborhood.
I also like that they give Minnesota Public Radio members a 15% discount
