Most local folks call the place Teddy's-after the owner. Teddy is almost always around making sure things are right. This is a family place and sometimes the family's are loud and active. Salad bar, and dairy dishes compliment the pizza. Good food-if you want a quiet dinner, order take out.

First time visit. Iâm still learning how to spell a dish I loveâFalafel. Falafel Hut is a small place mostly for take-out of Mediterranean food with 20 cafeteria-style hard chairs. We dined in. A minute walk from Upper Montclair train station. We found street parking (meters until 7 pm) at 6:30 pm. Order at the counter and served at your table.Enjoyed an appetizer of Baba Ghanoush (roasted eggplant) with pita for dunking. Entrées of Falafel Platter including side salad and yellow rice, Falafel pita sandwich, and Spicy Philly Cheese Steak Wrap. There were no leftovers.Tasty and freshly prepared. Items came out from the kitchen when each item was ready. Friendly staff, though interaction with staff was minimal. No itemized check, so trust that they do the math correctly...not a good practice.On this first chilly day of October, the heat had not been turned on.Tip: Believe the place is BYOB, but no signage. Will bring own next time.Between 3.5 and 4 circles. Will return.

Took my kids to eat Middle Eastern Food for the first time and they loved it. My daughter usually sticks to beef so she had the beef shishkobob entre, my son and I had the lamb shishkobob. Meet was so tender, tasty and just the right size portion. My daughter tried the lamb and said next time she will order that. The hummus was excellent. My son grabbed a menu and said we will definitely be returning.

Best falafel in town hands down, chicken and lamb shawermah are good but they are nothing close to the true Middle Eastern shawermah style, the chicken shawerma is more like a chicken wrap with good garlic sauce.They have great specials, and most of the entrees I tried we excellent, the service is good and the staff are friendly.

All I can say is wow was this delicious, well-price, and satisfying! The hummus and shwarma are amazing! The service is really good: the waiters are very friendly and attentive to you. The outside patio is also an added bonus too! I would definitely go there again.

Dinner included amazing, soft fresh pita bread, olives, pickles and a salsa type thing. We ordered stuffed grape leaves and shared the meat platter. There was so much food! finish off with a mint tea and roll yourself home. We arrived about 4:30 pm on a Saturday and didn't leave until almost 6:30. They never made us feel like they wanted us to leave, it was a great meal to catch up with a friend!

I have been here several times through out the years. This place is nicely decorated and the menu has a nice variety. The only problem is i think the main dishes are a bit overpriced for the portion. But the food is good. I tried the liver and it was great. Used to be more flavorful before. But still good. Rice pudding is awesome. Deserts are a must here. I wad also very much impressed by the service. Very attentive servers. I will be back again.

The food here is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the chicken schawarma sandwich, the healthy mess salad and the salmon avocado tartine! Amazing! The only issue is it's very small inside. Don't let that deter you!
