Tasty, inexpensive and pretty fast, Falafel King makes a great lunch or bar hopping snack and is one of the only good vegetarian fast-food options I can think of.
And the great falafel is just the start. They serve several different Middle Eastern dishes from tabbouleh to donair and all of them are worth a try. Their serving sizes are actually a little too big for me and I actually have trouble finishing unless I'm starving but I would be hard pressed to call that a flaw.
They have locations on 17th Ave, in Kensington, and in the core but I think only the 17th Ave and Kensington locations are open late. -

The best handmade falafel in Calgary. You have to come here starving, or the portions can be overwhelming. But the service is great, and if you stop in often enough, the owner refers to you as his best friend :) Their tabouleh salad and dolmades are delicious too. You almost want to cry when someone suggests Opa instead. No!

In need of a quick and satisfying lunch today. Pulled in a 11:30am and waited in a short line to order the chicken on wholewheat with hot sauce. As always, a good choice for healthy lunch - some days though, the portion is a little too big. The value is debatable as you can spend $9.50 on other lunch 'stuff' that is not as good or repeatable.
Service is quick and friendly - these two guys work as a well synched machine to get you in and out with some good food!~ -

Love it here. I also think the new location on Stephen Avenue is better than the old place. Where else can I get a savory, juicy handmade Falafel by the same guy who will refer to me as his friend even when he doesn't know my name. The food is great, but the machismo and hootspa in the service puts this place over the top. If you're lucky enough you might catch a day when they give out a piece of Baklava with purchase. Feels like you won $2 off a scratch lotto ticket!

A-OK. Decent meat and pita, but a bit pricey when compared to the small ass portions. Not bad when I'm in K-town. Try Jimmy's A&A on 20th and 13th NW and you'll see where I'm coming from..
