Happy Falafel Channahon - Channahon, Illinois

This is our second time getting food from Happy Falafel. The first time we just wanted to try a few things. My Wife had the Beef Shawarma Rice Bowl, I had the Combo Shawarma Pita and we shared a small Falafel. I purchased one of all of the sauces too, just to try them out. The Garlic is spectacular, The Green Chili is very tasty, but my personal favorite is The Red Chili!

We loved it all so much, today we did almost the same thing, but ordered a large Falafel and added the Hummus. The Red Chili Sauce is incredible. A great flavor and a nice spiciness to it. I enjoyed adding it to my Pita as well as some on the Falafel. The Rice Bowl is enough for two meals for my wife, and she loves everything in it.

When I unpacked the food I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the Hummus. My plan was to add a few of The Red Chili Sauces to the Hummus and find something to dip in it. There was an unexpected large stack of Pitas with The Hummus! There was so much I decided to take a bit of Hummus and top it with some of the Red Chili in order to have a less spicy option for my Wife.

Happy Falafel is a welcome addition to the area. A great option if looking for something other than a burger or pizza. Seriously - try the sauces! I spoke with the man both times I was there, and had nice conversation while I waited, without me bothering them too much. Incredible food, great people, and I wish them all the success.

Packed with flavor and huge portions! I have to drive along interstate 80 a lot and I’m usually stuck with fast food and drive thru options. Figured I’d give this place a try and I am so happy I did! The owner is awesome and super nice. I got the beef shawarma and hummus with the garlic sauce & red hot chili sauce. Was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. I have food left over for tomorrow and left feeling full and clean eating compared to the fast food options in the area. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed!

This has quickly become our favorite spot around. The food is delicious, the service is great - they feel like family always making sure we have a great experience and giving us extra items when needed. You won’t regret trying this place! The combo platter is incredible and any pita sandwich you can’t go wrong with

*Highly Recommend* *Best for Takeout Mainly* The food was fresh and delicious, we wanted to sit down however there were only a couple of tables but they were all taken so we eat in the car.

Ate inside with a friend a couple weeks ago & it was DELICIOUS!! Flavorful & just so good. I got the chicken shawarma rice bowl & would definitely order it again. I can’t wait to try more of the menu!

THE BEST FOOD EVER!!!
I have not had 1 thing from this place that is not amazing! Though the katfa bowl will always be my favorite here.
Everyone that works there is so kind, polite, and always so full of energy!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Happy Falafel, and it was a delightful experience! The Kafta Kabob Pita was a standout, perfectly spiced and incredibly juicy, wrapped in warm, fluffy pita. The falafel was equally impressive—crispy on the outside and wonderfully moist on the inside, bursting with flavor. To top it all off, I enjoyed a refreshing Mango Lassi that was creamy and perfectly sweet, making it the ideal complement to my meal. The friendly atmosphere and prompt service added to the overall enjoyment. I can't wait to return for another delicious meal! The owner Naveed was here to make sure the service was impeccable!

Great place for grab and go or order ahead! The seating area inside is a little small but not cramped at all. The guys working are super nice and helpful. Portion sizes are all pretty big so you definitely get your money's worth and it's not very expensive either! The first time I got a chicken shawarma bowl, fries, and a mango lassi and it was a little over $20. I wasn't even able to finish the whole bowl, so I ended up with leftovers, still tasted great the next day.

Today, I asked for a suggestion as I didn't know what I wanted and the man at the counter said he thought a salad with chicken would be good since I wanted something smaller to eat. I got another mango lassi, total $20 again. As you can see, I finished half the drink before I even got back to work. So far everything I've had tastes great, will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
