Just had the falafel wrap. Super yummy. Good size for lunch. I would definitely have it again. Really quick service. They don’t take credit cards.

On my first trip up to Broadway this summer, I took pictures of several food trucks with the intention of visiting them later. The second truck I visited was the Falafel Queen truck, which serves traditional mid-eastern fare such as falafels and shawarma. For lunch, I had the Beef Shawarma combo (with fries and drink).

Stopped here while at the Icelandic festival in Gimli over the weekend. $10 combo got me falafel with a samosa and canned pop. The falafel was really quite tasty. I do wish they had used a bit more sauce in the wrap but otherwise it was very good. Same thing with the samosa, would've been nice to have a dipping sauce.

Still Tasty, but.... I made my way up Broadway today to grab lunch from the food trucks, after seeing them start to come out last week. I made a beeline for Falafel Queen, as I thoroughly enjoyed my end of season falafel last year in October and have been itching to get another one to see if my memory was accurate. As with my last falafel, it was very delicious. Beautifully fried falafel balls that were full of flavor and perfectly crunchy, amazing pickled cabbage, sauces and fresh veggies. The flavor did not disappoint, that's for sure! The prices have gone up a bit, they no longer serve fries, and the falafels are pretty skimpy, in comparison to Shawarma Khan, Baraka Bakery and Shawarma Time (all of which I've visited several times each over the last two months...I've been on a bit of a falafel kick). But the worst thing I noticed is that the straws appeared to have bene stolen from A&W and the napkins appeared to have been stolen from Starbucks. The service was aloof and not really friendly, but then again, it would have been difficult to carry on a conversation with all the truck and street noise. A smile would have been nice. I'll definitely be back over the summer, as it's the closest falafel to my work, and it is very delicious. Hopefully next time it won't be obvious that their paper products are pilfered from other establishments.
