Falafel Drive in
 

Description

This original Bay Area Middle Eastern joint looks like a beat-up drive-in, but it is one of San Jose's oldest foreign restaurants. In fact, it is a landmark. Since the 1960s, the falafel and gyros have been some of the best anywhere, and hardly anything on the menu is over $7. People from all over the world have visited this place, and many repeat customers have been coming for 15 to 20 years. It is highly recommended and they accept only cash.

This place is legendary for us native San Joseans. If I could rent a little corner of floor in the back to crash out I'd probably live my days happier than most. The food at this place is basic and phenomenal, concurrently. Try it, love it, live it... all I hafta say bout that

Diamond in the rough, with an early closing time. It's simple, not that expensive but super delish! And the portion sizes are fair. Friendly people...awesome local falafel

Great for Entertaining!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/2/07
I have referred many of my client's (I am a party planner) to Falafel Drive-in for Excellent Food and Excellent Value - great if you are having a party with lots of vegetarians or if you just want something a little different. Very fresh! Very Yummy! Only drawback is they don't like to take your order in advance - they want it and hour or so before you come to pick-up, that can a little nerve-wracking on the day of a party.

Always good!

Get the lunch special with the fresh banna shake. Most seating outside covered, fine except for the wettest of days. Easy to find on San Carlos between 880 and Bascom Ave.

Not much to look at, it's in a pretty run down area, and you have to eat outside, but... man, fresh ingredients, steady flow of customers, very tasty food, and cheap prices - this is one of those places you go out of your way to eat at.
