Reviews for Master Falafel in Rochester, NY
Here's Master Falafel from a different perspective... Not only have I been a day 1 customer, but I have worked with the... owner/founder Khaled in a professional relationship (marketing) since he was doing the construction of the restaurant. Sincethen, here's what I learned about Khaled as a person... Khaled genuinely wants the best for his customers. Truly. He is verymuch passionate about what he does. He is *constantly* thinking about how he can make the experience at Master Falafel betterand better for customers/employees. Put simply...the owner of this place CARES, and you can feel it through his welcomingnature and when you are served your meal. At every meeting, or even when I go to grab a bite to eat there, Khaled *always*talks about ways he can expand or refine his menu to make it fresher and more exciting for everyone. He is also very adamantabout making most of his menu vegan for the vegan community, which allows more people to experience his culture. Despite aworking relationship, I found that admirable. Beyond his authenticity, the food...it is VERY tasty and delicious. ???? Falafelmix is made fresh daily & prepared per order ???? Falafel creations (cheese, spicy) are 100% original ???? Hummus is a specialrecipe from Syria - super creamy ???? Baklava is made in-house & vegan ???? Ingredients are always fresh ???? Recipes are 100%original My personal menu favorites are... ???? Falafel Pita with Spicy Sauce (not on menu but I ask) ???? Shish Tawook Pitawith Fries inside ???? Rochester Plate with Chicken + Garlic/Tahini Sauce (one time I drove in a downpour/thunderstorm to getthe Rochester Plate because I was craving it so much...true story lol) Khaled is an excellent example of being able to workhard no matter your background and being proud of your roots. I promise you will be able to taste the love and respect he hasfor his culture in any menu item you choose. Try Master Falafel not only to eat a delicious meal but to support someon Read more
By far the most amazingly delicious falafel I have ever had! Every part of my meal was absolutely perfect. I will tell all of my... friends and 100% be back regularly. Read more
Master Falafel really lives up to its slogan of offering fresh comfort food. Their falafel pita with tahini is my personal... favorite (the toasted pita crunch is just the cherry on top!). I miss Lebanese food so much (which is very similar to Syrianfood, really), and their food is just heart-filling and heartwarming. What I?ve found extra special about this spot is thatKhaled (the owner) is hands-on? most of my orders were prepared by him when I?ve dined in so far and it?s been an honor to hearhis stories. He?s so friendly and proud of his heritage, which he reflects through his menu, the attention to detail in everyorder they make at his restaurant, and the stories he shares with us customers. It?s just one of those places where you knowyou?ll always get a good meal? and a good conversation! Read more
Tried Master Falafil for the first time. We have tried the mix platter and it was really good. The garlic sauce was really good... and the meat and salad was yummy. The falafil and hummus were good too. Taste wise it was really good Service - really fast andcourteous. Only thing in that the pita wasn't enough for the whole serving, for a platter this size and price atleast 1 fullpita should be added or if half, add some rice. Read more
Seriously the Best hummus that I've ever had! The falafel and tahni sauce were fresh and delicious! After dinner, I went back up... and ordered the baklava. It was sweet without too much honey. It was very enjoyable. The staff were kind and offered manysuggestions. They have a simple indoor seating area. Six tables with four chairs. If you are going in groups larger than six youwill likely need to sit at separate tables. Definitely worth visiting again!! Read more
Clean, easy to understand menus with lots of vegan choices. Kids, and husband, appreciated they had french fries ????! Owned by... wonderful people of Syrian decent. ???????? Everything was super YUM!! Definitely will come again! Read more
First of all, I love falafel. Second, I love going to a place I've never been and seeing vegan items clearly labeled. This place... delivered both those things. Service was good, food was delicious and fresh. I have no complaints at all; I'll definitely begoing back! Read more
Crazy delicious, unassuming falafel joint. Came in on a hot day, and the baba ghanouj cooled us off. I usually am a fan of... larger crumb in the falafel, but this place has the mix ground really small. Surprisingly, instead of being mushy, this made fora super light falafel???? Will definitely be coming back with friends to try the pita wrap situation. ????Don?t sleep on thisplace! Read more
