How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Middle Eastern
Falafel Café handles quick service without flattening the character of its food. Crisp falafel, shawarma, hummus, salads, and rice plates can be assembled into a satisfying lunch near UAB, with sauces adding brightness and heat. Owner driven hospitality and an unfussy counter format keep the focus squarely on fresh preparation.

- Gyros
Falafel Cafe lets diners build a gyro in pita or laffa, or choose a plate over basmati rice. Hummus, Jerusalem salad, pickles, cabbage, and sauces turn the counter line into a lesson in balance and texture. The Southside shop moves quickly at lunch, but customization makes the finished meal feel personal rather than standardized.
