Amsterdam Falafelshop

Falafel tastes great here, I love it and will always come back! One of the best places to grab falafel in DC more

Cheap, tasty, international (even accepts euros as payment), quasi healthy, and will allow you to fall sleep full and wake up feeling much better than your pals who will go home and gorge on cheese-its after a long night on the town. What else can one truly ask for? As a disclaimer Amsterdam would be a great stop for lunch or a quick dinner, but in my situation I have only frequented here in the later evening hours. Pros: Best falafel in town and open late! Cons: nada, more

We've all been there. Last call has come and gone, closing time in upon you, but the tum is looking for the after party. Sure, there's pizza, maybe you're even near an empenada shack, but sometimes I'm lookin for the sloppy delicious fried goodness that can only be achieved with the Middle East's finest product (sorry crude oil and incredibly intricate and beautiful languages and dialects). I'm talking felafel. They serve it up pretty hot and plain and allow you to create the mouth filling masterpiece of your wildest drunken dreams. Note: this food is also good in a sober state. Pros: D-Loverly more

At the trim Amsterdam Falafel, the Middle Eastern snack of mashed chickpeas, shaped into balls and fried to a neat crunch, gets slipped into warm pita pockets and dressed up with a choice of nearly 20 toppings. Picture shredded beets, turmeric-tinged cabbage, green herb sauce and eggplant puree -- everything arranged in a colorful salad bar and yours for the garnishing. That said, the fluffy-centered fritters are scrumptious on their own, liberally seasoned with garlic, cumin, parsley and coriander. A sandwich made with three of them costs $3.75; one with five goes for $5.25. As friendly as the guys behind the counter are the hours of operation: This Adams Morgan newcomer is open daily for lunch and dinner, and until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. -- Tom Sietsema (Dec. 26, 2004) more
