The King? Absolutely!

Well ladies and gentlemen, today we traveled all the way to Queens, in search of the fabled "King of Falafel" and let me tell you, he did not dissapoint. Upon exiting the subway (Broadway on the N train, Broadway and 30th) we very quickly found the vendor we sought. Once we navigated the line we were greeted by Freddy, the king himself. He immediately pressed a piping hot falafel sample into our hands and then I understood what a falafel was supposed to taste like. I would have returned for the food alone, but the experience of talking with Freddy sealed the deal for us. It's amazing to talk with someone who takes so much pride in their work, and does it so very well.
I challenge anyone to find a better combination of delicious food and customer service in the entire city. We will be going back to Queens very soon. Those Falafel are addictive.

Freddy & his crew are the best -- their food and friendliness are a highlight of our neighborhood!

He's always up...Always happy...Alwats nice to my children...Always ready to make new friends. He puts a smile on my face every time I see him. What wonderful traits to have in today's crazy world. I'm proud to be Freddy's friend. He's really something special.
And if that weren't enough, he can cook and his food is delicious...and his guys are really nice too.

King! I had a falafel that was a couple hours old and it was still delicious! Since I live nearby, this discovery may or may not be a healthy one.
