Shami Falafel 29 State Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601

"I found this gem when I was in Jury duty in a close by court. Their beef shawarma meal was great and the hummus was really nice. Next day I tried their chicken shawarma which was great as well, subtle crispy wrap and juicy chicken but the surprise was their Falafel. Likely the best I have tried in 10 years, nice size, thin crispy layer and softer and juicy inside. Fairouz songs which are not too loud makes the meal even better :) Will definitely be back if I am around."

"Hubby has been wanting to try this place. I am so glad we get to try their food today. We ordered the following for takeout - lamb shawarma platter (lamb, salad, hummus), grape leaves and baklava. Oh wow!! Everything tastes so good. The lamb has this complex savory taste.. it is hard to explain but it was so delicious. The hummus is also yummy. The platter come with 2 sauces which are equally unique and yummy, one is spicy and other is like garlic mayo airline. Grape leaves are also good. We've tried other grape leaves before but these are superb. Baklava is just a great dessert which makes the meal complete. The food is highly recommended. We will be back to try other items in the menu. Ohh while waiting for our takeout order, the kind lady offered us some tea. Thank youuuuuuu...."

"I might be biased because I was craving chicken shawarma but this place is really good. Friendly workers, clean space and wow the food was good. I don’t think the presentation or the taste could be beat at this price. The chicken shawarma actually was filled with chicken unlike the place I got ripped off recently haha. GL to the business! Will visit again for sure. (Fries were good too!)"

"Over the course of multiple visits, I have come to appreciate the excellent quality and flavors they offer. Shani Falafel offers a variety of mouthwatering options, but their chicken shawarma sandwich stands out as a crowd favorite. The chicken is tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. It is complemented by fresh and crisp vegetables, along with their homemade sauce that adds an extra layer of zest. Each bite is a delightful burst of flavors that keeps me coming back for more. The falafel at Shani Falafel is equally impressive. The traditional recipe results in perfectly crispy on the outside, yet moist and flavorful on the inside falafel balls. The combination of spices and herbs provides a satisfyingly authentic taste that leaves me craving them repeatedly. To complete the meal, I highly recommend trying their French fries. These golden and crispy delights are cooked to perfection, making them an ideal accompaniment to any dish. The fries are flavorful and offer a satisfying crunch that will leave you wanting another bite. One aspect that sets Shani Falafel apart is their commitment to consistency. Each time I have ordered, whether for delivery or dine-in, the food has been perfectly prepared and packed with care. The flavors are always vibrant, and the presentation is impeccable, showcasing the attention to detail that goes into every dish they serve. Another factor worth mentioning is the reasonable pricing. Shani Falafel offers generous portions at affordable prices, making it accessible to a wide range of customers. The value for money is exceptional, considering the high quality of both the food and service. I highly recommend Shani Falafel for a delicious and satisfying dining experience. From the exemplary service to the consistently flavorful chicken shawarma, falafel, and scrumptious fries, every aspect of Shani Falafel exceeds expectations. Treat yourself to a truly memorable meal and discover the culinary delights this establishment has to offer."
