This little place has been attracting falafel lovers for nearly three decades. It makes sense: they may be the best in Los Angeles. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, these dumplings rival shawarma - the traditional kebab of the Middle East - as delicious. Also on the menu: hummus and shish kebab, among others. All at very affordable prices. At lunchtime, it is not uncommon for a long line to stretch out in front of Falafel Arax; it would be a shame not to wait.

Today I stopped by to eat shawarma sandwich at the this place. I’m foody person. I would like to enjoy the good meal. I just made couple bites then I couldn’t eat it, bread was very wet and mushy, I couldn’t taste the shawarma because of too much sauce. I hope they pay attention to make better food.

My favorite sandwich shop in LA. This Arax is family run. Their chicken sandwich with garlic sauce is unbelievable. We love their shwarma in pita and tongue sandwich. My kids enjoy the lule kabob without onions or tomatoes.

This place is still bomb. My favorite sandwiches sold here. I wish I lived closer to this place.

Styrofoam heaven with just ok food. That pretty much summarizes this place. Was told they had the best falafel in all of LA (Los Angeles? Little Armenia?). If that's the case, then things must be really bad with Middle eastern food in LA. The falafel wasn't necessarily bad, but it had absolutely no herbs that are so essential to a good falafel. Falafel when cut open should be dark green for all the herbs, but just look at the photos...
And styrofoam containers in 2023, seriously ? How are they still legal ? In fact, we ordered for eat-in, but still everything came in styrofoam. Sure this place is a hole in the wall, but at least get some paper or otherwise compostable containers, not disgusting styrofoam.
On another note, the bathroom upstairs is pretty dilapidated and neither men's nor women's had any soap. Pretty gross. The restaurant should ensure there's at least soap available- it's a food establishment for crying out loud .

If you like falafel, this is the best place to go. Their falafel is very tasty and crunchy and according to my Armenian friends, it definitely taste and feels like their home country. I have tried several other sandwiches there such as shawarma and tongue (which unfortunately they discontinued) and it was delicious.
