Reviews for Falafel & Shawarma Planet in Sacramento, CA

Salty. The food is barely edible with how salty everything is! Hummus, extra salty. Lamb, dry and salty. Salad, is even salty!... Rice, salty!! I'm so disappointed. I was expecting a better experience. I like salt, I love salt. And even this is too much forme. Pass, guys. HARD PASS!! I could not finish my plate. I just simply could not. And I hate wasting food.

We stopped by for lunch, I had a chicken shawarma salad and my hubby had a falafel pita, and it was delicious! The flavors are... authentic and the food was freshly made. For dessert, we enjoyed the awesome kadaif, warm and crispy. We will come back again! Read more

This is an aunthentic middle eastern shawarma restaurant. Those who worked in the middle east will surely recognize the taste. I... spoke with the owner and he is really nice guy. He shared he also stayed in UAE for a little bit. The beef here are real andsliced from rotating beef meat just like in the middle east and the bread is thin and crisp! Really good. I hope they soon sellsmoothies just like in UAE. Yum! Afwan guys! Maasalam!! Read more

Falafel & Shawarma Planet is a hidden gem ????. It is right in front of 99ranch and great place for a quick bite. I ordered the... Lamb Shawarma Burrito - light spice. It was packed with meat/veggies/rice with tahini sauce. It was impressed and recommendstopping in for a bite. Read more

The food was good. I have only had a shawarma wrap one other time, and although the one from this restaurant was good, it... wasn't as good as the first one I tried. And honestly, I have no idea exactly how authentic shawarma should taste. Again, thefood was very good, but I enjoyed the Shawarma wrap I had elsewhere better. There were lots of other things on the menu that Iwould like to try! I would definitely return to this restaurant to try other foods. The service was quick and the staff wasfriendly. Read more

This is by far the most delicious food I have tasted within the Mediterranean food category. I stumbled by this restaurant after... having to go to Sacramento for business all the way from Tracy and after a long meeting I wanted something fresh and not toooily. I googled up Mediterranean food near me and this place popped up among the long list of rated restaurants so I figured whynot. I went ahead and followed Google maps and almost missed this place because it looks like it's part of the Asian foodsmarket (looked like it was inside of the store). Their restaurant logo is simple and so easy to pass by but I was so hungry thatI parked and noticed the pictures on their windows and recognized the food immediately. I went in and it was so quiet and emptythat I got scared and assumed it was bad but I figured I drove all the way here so I ordered the shawarma bowl and some baklava.I had almost finished ordering UNTIL I saw that they had KNAFEH ON THEIR MENU!!!! Trader Joe's carries knafeh from Greece and Ihave waited so patiently to try Palestinian knafeh and I eagerly put in an order for two. I was NOT disappointed!!!! For thosethat do not know if you go to market's some of the ingredients are hard to find to make at home and even then everyone makesthem different so as a non-middle eastern I was beyond excited. From the beginning upon entry and after the transaction wascomplete the young ladies and young man were extremely kind, friendly and attentive. I had forgotten to bring my prescriptionlenses and while I was having a hard time reading the menu they were considerate and smiled at me and let me step aside foranother client to pick up their ordered item. They were kind enough to explain what each dish was and once I ordered they werefriendly and politely answered questions that I had about their food, music, culture background etc. If it was not for thedistance I would come here weekly because the food tastes so fresh and really homely especially the kna Read more

Good Mediterranean joint,we were passing by from SFO to Lake Tahoe and we took small detour for lunch and we found this... delicious authentic Mediterranean style food. Very quick service, freshly made, seems generous Husband and Wife runs this joint,they gave us complimentary falafel and it was most tasty food out of everything. Overall experience is good, we left SFO around11 am and found this joint around 2.30 Pm , so kind a couple of hours drive and you can eat here... locals must try and passerbylike us. Only thing is Hummus was little salty comparatively other Mediterranean joint. But we loved everything, nice food.Clean and elegant Read more
