Falafel King

Falafel King on Washington Street serves falafel, shawarma and kebabs in a downtown storefront between the Old State House and Old South Meeting House. Pita, hummus, rice, salads and pickled vegetables give you several ways to build lunch. A falafel plate works when you want a meat-free meal; chicken shawarma gives you another option without changing the rest of the order.

This is a casual stop for lunch or an early dinner, with dine-in, takeout and delivery available. Online ordering is useful when your break is short. Choose the Washington Street branch rather than the separate Summer Street location. The restaurant publishes conflicting closing times, so confirm directly if you’re heading over toward the end of the day.
