I was too lazy to make my own falafel so I ordered the Lebanese Falafel, which included falafael, roasted eggplant and lebanese slaw wrapped in a lavash. It was yummy and well-seasoned, a bit spicy. Along with the wrap, I shared a soup and it was the perfect satisfying dinner. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in the area. Reasonably priced, too. |  tammyReviews: 111 |

Not the best falafel I've ever had, but still good. Same with the fries. I like the topping bar. The vegan baklava doesn't quite taste like baklava, I'm not sure why, but it still tastes good. | cinnazimt Reviews: 20 |

Chick-o-peas has a wide and rotating selection of savory vegetable-based toppings for your falafel, all of which are vegan, 3 vegan sauces for your falafel as well (e.g. Tahini), and 6 fries toppings (of which Saffron Aioli and Med. Pesto are not vegan). I highly recommend this place for a savory and healthy meal. Pay $1 more for extra pita and enjoy more toppings. Now with vegan baklava too!!! |  gregReviews: 133 |

Veg confession--I don't get the whole falafel thing. They don't offended me, but I never go out of my way for them. My recently converted husband however delares them "best veg*n food ever," so we had to try this place. Fries were great and I LOVED the toppings bar. The zhug sauce was off the hook. Falafel was okay, but for me I'll get the make your owl salad with toppings bar. | ecureuil Reviews: 2 |

I wanted to like the place more than I did. Maybe I'm just not as into falafel and fries as I'd thought. Owner and staff are friendly and efficient; the pita bread is now vegan, having replaced the honey with agave in the recipe. Nice outdoor seating to complement indoor seating. Even with the toppings I just didn't find the falafel bar and garlic fries meal satisfying enough to give 4 stars. | Vegan Living Reviews: 94 |
