Holy Land - Oakland

Best falafel and sabich I've had outside of Israel and the tahini sauce is a classic. Come for the cheap, delicious food, and enjoy the occasionally mediocre service (which normally I find frustrating, but here it works). This hole in the wall is truly holy. תודה

So delicious! I've never had anything here that wasn't amazing. The falafel balls are absolutely everything a falafel ball should be! And try the mint lemonade! Yumm!

Had the shakshuka with a Holy Land lemonade. Both were exquisite!

The best falafel you'll find in the Bay Area! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff makes you feel like you've stepped into their home.

For years this has been my go to lunch spot to take friends that are visiting from out of town. The falafel is freshly fried and seasoned the best in the area IMO. I normally get the falafel plate but can also vouch for the masabaha, combination salad plate, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, pickles...The mejadara isn't my favorite I feel like it needs something seasoning wise but the rice and lentils are cooked well. I still need to try the sambusek. Also, the zhoug is fantastic and spicy! Always get extra. It's not listed on the menu. There is also a nice little appetizer plate when you sit down there. I can't remember details since it's been a year without dining in restaurants. Oh and get at least one mint lemonade! I live nearby and I keep their hummus stocked in my fridge. Miles better than anything in stores and farmers markets.
