What people say about Falafel's Drive In
Many diners in San Jose will see Falafel’s Drive In both as part of their local history and as a convenient place for food. It is highly commended for its crispy falafels, tasty hummus, red sauce, and banana shakes. Many loyal customers claim that they keep on coming for years because of it. It adds to its charm because of its traditional walk-up service and vibrant environment outside. There is no guarantee that the experience would always be the same as some customers experienced underseasoned gyro meat, chewy pita chips, or small portions of their favorites. However, its convenience and unique falafel-shake combination make it very popular among locals.
About Falafel's Drive In
Founded in 1966, Falafel’s Drive In has provided Stevens Creek Boulevard with a blend of Middle Eastern specialties along with traditional drive-in American fare ever since then. The menu remains simple, offering such dishes as falafel, gyros, chicken pita, hummus, tabbouleh, and dolmas, together with burgers, fries, and shakes.
The best-known combination includes the large falafel together with the banana shake, but the menu is varied enough to provide you with either a quick vegetarian lunch or a meaty one as well. There is nothing fancy about the place—outdoor seating and no reservations.
The restaurant maintains its popularity due to identity rather than fashionability. Those who want to eat at a historic and affordable San Jose restaurant would find this one appealing and reminiscent of their drive-in days.
During lunch hours, be prepared to wait in line and have limited seating. Making orders a little earlier would do you some good, especially when the weather is favorable outside.
