Yassin's Falafel House 212 Hamilton Crossing Drive, Alcoa, TN 37701

"I waited a long time for this place to open. After it opened, I waited even longer so they could work the bugs out. So I finally get the opportunity to go, and what a total disappointment. I have never in my life ate a Gyro as greasy as this sandwich was, (and I have eaten a lot of them.) The flavor was not good either. It was also lacking in tomatoes, onions and sauce. The only positive is, it was full of meat. It must be a really cheap mix of meat. The order taker swears is beef and lamb mix, but I'm not too sure. The worst part was the bugs, flying bugs everywhere. So I give it a thumbs down. My wife's homemade chicken gyros and tzatziki sauce are 100% better."

"Food tasted good and the staff was nice! Pretty expensive though for a plate small shaved gyro, rice, and dab of feta - $18.00! Plus they ask for tip at the register when ordering but don't offer any additional service like bring the food to your table. They just yell out a number and you have to go pick it up at the counter. I wish I had that $4.00 tip back, but they got me this time with it. Lastly, they confirmed we were dinning in, but our food was put into nice plastic to go containers with lids. I wonder if they are making the plate fresh or just staging a bunch of plates of rice and beef and it was sitting there for a bit?"

"I moved to Tennessee from the NW suburbs of Illinois. I have really missed eating at my favorite Egyptian, Turkish, Arabic, Indian restaurants! I was shopping in this plaza a couple of weeks ago and saw Yassin Falafel House as I was leaving. This afternoon we decided to stop in and try the food. I'm so glad we did! Everything was amazing. I ordered the falafel sampler plate. Salad, falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush. I ordered extra pita bread and feta. The second meal was the gyro plate over rice. The hummus was melt in your mouth fresh and delicious. My Falafel was light and flavorful on the inside with a delicate crisp outside. Pita bread tasted fresh and homemade. Gyro is a combo of lamb/beef. Rice was cooked perfectly. Tzatziki was also fresh. I was missing Chicago tonight and this restaurant was like getting a hug! We will definitely be back. Tahini and hot sauce were also amazing! Great customer service. Our food was hot, fresh and done in 7 minutes. I highly recommend this location."

"Visiting the area and decided to stop for a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon....what a great little joint! Decided on a gyro plate which was more than enough to share - and an order of falafels!!! I can honestly say, I've never enjoyed a falafel before that day but I can definitely tell you it won't be my last! The flavors were so good, the staff were welcoming and explained everything to us before ordering - and the prices were very reasonable!!! Can't wait to visit again!"

"We were out on an adventure and decided to eat at this restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly,nice gentleman who took our order. We sat down at a table, and our food was ready in no time at all. Really quick. The food was excellent. It was very tasty. Employees came out and asked us how we were and how the food was? Great service. Sincere in wanting to take care of the guest. Excellent place."
