Falafel Sandwich was pretty good! I would definitely recommended. The service was pretty good as well! It was very comfortable seating, and very clean restaurant!

We ordered Chicken Shawarma and Falafel wrap! The Food was delicious and Tables were clean. The staff was very Friendly and the service was top nachos! I would highly recommend them.

Amazing food, friendly, family owned!! Their falafel tastes like how my grandmother used to make it! (Started out as a food truck so you know how passionate they are in making their food) Can't believe they're so close to us - we used to have to drive all the way to DC to get amazing falafel!

Today I had a wonderful surprise and delicious lunch all-in-one! Bethesda is new home of District Falafel and if you value the opinion of a true foodie- go there. Located next to Ledo's in the Montgomery Mall block, this authentic and absolutely delicious restaurant is your new "must have" for middle eastern fare. Eat now, thank me later.

Great and abundant food for a very reasonable price! Pleasant service. Glad they're here.

Oh my falafel!! This food truck is the GOAT!! On a whim tonight I decided to pick up a plate or two to add on to our instant pot chicken at home after grabbing a beer at Saints Row. I went for a lamb salad, falafel platter and sides of falafel, hummus and baklava. The lamb is well seasoned, bite sized and scrumptious. The veggies in the salad are incredibly fresh- so delicious. The salad was drizzled with an amazing tzatziki sauce and some hot sauce. The falafels were small and crispy- just perfect! The hummus is so creamy and delish! I must have this again!!

I bought chicken shawarma platter, and keep buying the same thing over and over because it's flavorful, the chicken is amazing, the rice is incredible, the best rice I tried in my life, and the shawarma sauce made with yogurt made my life. it's one of the top!! Also I love the homemade hummus they have, it's perfect! Thank you for being here!!!!!
