Crazy 4 Falafel
“The falafel has an extra kick that most other places don't. Chicken shawarma over rice is also very good.”
“What separates this spot from others is the quality of humus and salad/vegetables that they put inside the pita.”
“I recommend starting off with the Jerusalem platter, which offers a generous sampling of all the basics for just $7.50.”

Great food, served by great people within a family owned business setting. As a born and raised New Yorker, I have been enjoying Mediterranean food (Gyros, Shwarma's, hummus and falafels) from small spots and street carts since I was a kid. Crazy 4 Falafel is one of the best I have encountered. My 10 year old Niece also loves this place
The food is very fresh, made to order and served by a very friendly staff. The falafel balls, shwarma's, chicken & lamb over rice are excellent.
Support small businesses that are trying to do the right thing and keep "real food" alive.
This place served very delicious food!
First time here and I was impressed. It's very pleasant, not an actual full restaurant. But, I liked the vibes and the atmosphere. The cooks and cashier were very nice and funny.
I ordered the Jerusalem platter and they actually gave me two different styles of hummus. One regular hummus and one hummus with roasted red pepper. Both delicious, I'm happy they gave me both.
If you want Mediterranean and you're in the area, GO HERE! I will come back and have some baklava.
It's about time we have a great falafel place in Edison! The best part about this place is the homemade pitas. They are soft and chewy and are the best I have ever had. The falafel sandwich is large and filling and reasonably priced. The red lentil soup was also great. The owner is always working and he always accommodates customers to make sure they have a great dining experience. I have seen him multiple times give out extras for free stuff and make custom orders. Definately give this place a try.
I was really happy with this place! I ordered the Jerusalem platter which had a little bit of everything! They have tons of vegetarian options which is nice. I definitely will be visiting this place again!!!
Appearance
The establishment is clean inside, simple tables and chairs inside are available for customers to enjoy the large variety of foods available. No frills interior.
Only constructive criticism is, I would suggest a MiddleEastern decor inside simple to add to the experience of eating their delicious foods
Staff
Extremely nice ppl. They were very patient with us as we didn't know the menu well. They explained the dishes we were interested and even allowed a sampling. This type of customer service goes a long way these days were is hard to find this attitude.
We were asked how the food was during eating, and even offered a free falafel! I felt very appreciated there. 🙂
Food
We orders Lamb n Chicken shawarma, a delicious spinach and cheese pastry, a fried garlicy meat ball. Presentation was simple and clean, food was tasty, rich and full of flavor. One of my best Arab meals were at this small establishment.
Price
Reasonably priced. Good for a lunch or a simple dinner with friends. See my pics for bill.
Not a bad spot to grab a bite at. I'd actually give it a three and a half stars if I could. It's better than a three but not quit a four in my opinion. I will add that I'm not a huge frequenter of falafel places but I do compare everyone that I visit to the halal guys cart in NYC on 53rd and 6th. Those that know of this cart know that it's the best chicken and rice/deal in NYC. Huge portion of delicious chicken and rice with what must be a crack infused white sauce for like $6!
The dining room here is very clean and the staff working here is very friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable for the location as well.
I had the Chicken Shawarma platter and it was good. Decent portion of rice and chicken with a little cabbage salad served with it. The chicken flavor was ok but didn't really jump out at you. I wasn't crazy about the white sauce that's served with the platter to put over the chicken and rice. It actually had a burnt taste to it so I may have just caught a bad batch. We also shared some hummus and pitas. The pita bread was delicious but the hummus wasn't the best I've had.
If I'm ever passing through this area again I'll stop in to try the lamb. Id say give these guys a try and decide for yourself.
Decent falafel sandwiches. The falafel is crisp, full of flavor and fried fresh! Becoming one of my regular spots.
I was actually looking for an Armenian restaurant that serves lula kebab, but ended up here instead. T'was a good lunch.
Lamb Shawarma Over Rice ($9.95): I know I'll get a lot of flack for this, but the "lamb" actually tasted and smelled a lot more like lamb than what I've had in Midtown. The take out portions are plentiful–there was a lot of rice, plenty of sliced lamb, pickled vegetables, and a soft round bread (tandır ekmeği); it also comes with white sauce, and if you ask, a pretty spicy hot sauce. Outside of a little but more spiciness to the lamb, I don't really have any complaints. It's a large, filling meal for a pretty good price.
Baklava with Chocolate Drizzle ($2): Sweet, but not too sweet unlike those I've had in Fresno. Nice and crispy filo with the right amount of crushed nuts and sugar. It's homemade, so that's why it's a $1 per piece.
I wouldn't mind coming back here for lunch every now and th…oh wait, I don't even live in Edison. Damn.
