This Tiny Shop In Cleveland Serves Falafel To Die For

There are as many kinds of falafel as there are ways to spell falafel, and since 1986, family-owned Maha's Falafil at the West Side Market has been making and serving Cleveland's best! Large portions, reasonable prices, friendly service, and amazing falafel make Maha's one of the best eateries in Ohio City. They were named Best Falafel Stand in Cleveland by Cleveland Magazine. The fact that the whole establishment is only about as big as a shoebox just adds to the charm.

The West Side Market is full of hidden gems. It's a Cleveland foodie's weekend getaway.

There's something exciting and inspiring about wandering the aisles, pondering, sampling. But there's a real hidden gem, hiding way back in the far corner of the market...

Maha's Falafil. And it's the best falafel in Cleveland.

They do sell other things like gyros, shawarmas, and fish dinners, but as the name suggests, it's the falafel that takes center stage here.

You can try the healthier option, with falafel, salad, and a bit of bread.

Or, you could wrap it up! Add toppings like hummus, tahini, baba ghanoush, and pickled vegetables.

Like everything, it's better with fries. Have them on the side with your falafel wrap...

Or go all out for the Fully Loaded, and put the fries inside your falafel. Trust me, you'll never know just how good Maha's is until you've done this.

Unwrapping one of these bad boys makes any day feel like Christmas.

Take a bite... That's what real falafel tastes like. Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, fragrant and flavorful and fresh.

The only thing left to do is enjoy!

You can now eat Maha's Falafil more easily at more times of the day at Dave's supermarket, located just a short walk away at 2700 Carroll Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113.
