Damascus Falafel - Willowbrook

So I went there yesterday during the noon rush and the place was JAMMED. It sort of reminds me of a Chipotle for middle eastern food. I had never had middle eastern food of any sort before and wanted to try shawarma, but was sort of intimidated going in not having ever had it before. Despite there being a line out the door, the guy taking my order was super patient, really kind, and talked me through all the possible combos for my chicken shawarma bowl. I never felt even a little rushed by him, but I was so worried about making others wait I just told the staff to combine whatever they thought was best for a newbie after they asked me if I liked hot spicy (important because I don't). The food was delicious and I couldn't eat the whole bowl in one sitting, so I got two meals for my $12. BTW, I am a big fan of their compostable bowls. What struck me even more than the food was how kind and patient everyone was and how grateful they seemed for my patronage. I felt very welcome and significant to all of the 3 employees/owners I interacted with. From a food perspective alone I'd go back for sure, but the way I was treated was the icing on the cake. Great job to everyone there! Give them a try especially if you are new to this type of food. Parking: Parking is tight because it's in a strip mall.

I am not kidding when I say this is my favorite restaurant. All of the food here is amazing and so flavorful. The manager is extremely kind and personable, there’s not enough good things I can say about this place! Thank you so much damascus, to the manager, employees and owners! Atmosphere: 5

I NEVER write reviews, but this place deserves it! Damascus Falafel has quality food with great flavor for a reasonable price. I live out of state but go out of my way to visit this restaurant when I am in the area. Also, the staff here is so friendly, I am always greeted with a smile and thanked before leaving. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by! Service: Take out

I’ve never had middle eastern food and was brought here for lunch by a friend who swears by this place. It was SOOOO GOOD, healthy, very filling, flavorful, and inexpensive!
