The review on this site indicates that a falafel in a pita can be had for under $5 -- it's obviously been a long time since citysearch editors have been to Rami's, since the price is now approaching $7. Stilll, no falafel in the city is better. But, you're best to show up at peak hours so you get a freshly fried falafel, as opposed to ones that have been sitting out for several minutes or hours (doesn't matter which, as falafel is only at its prime when fried to order.) Get there a few hours before they close of you want the shawrama, too. They make it in the morning, and once done, that's it. Curiously, they won't add fries (chips, in Israel) to your sandwich, even if you pay for the side order of fries. Still, in all of Greater Boston, this the closest you'll find to Israeli street food and is worth the trip to Coolidge.
Pros: simply the best Boston has to offer in Israel street food
Cons: won't put fries in your pita -- off peak hours mean old falafel
