Falafel Inc, founded in 2017 by Ahmad Ashkar, started in a modest 800-square-foot spot in Georgetown, D.C. In just a few years, it has expanded both within Northern Virginia and globally, boasting local locations in Old Town Alexandria, King St, Tysons Corner Center, Crystal City in the National Landing Water Park, and the newest addition in Merrifield’s Mosaic District.
The restaurant quickly became a sensation, attracting crowds with its $3 falafel pitas (now $4) and bowls. The concept is straightforward yet effective: a minimalistic menu done right. Offerings include pita sandwiches, bowls, zaatar fries, a few small salads, and pita chips. Customers can personalize their meals with a selection of dips and sauces, catering to various tastes. It’s an ideal spot for a quick, affordable, and delicious meal.
Falafel Inc has also made a significant social impact by partnering with the World Food Programme, donating over 200,000 meals to refugees worldwide. What began as a budget-friendly lunch option for a college neighborhood has blossomed into a global restaurant enterprise. The delicious food, convenience, and unbeatable prices have undoubtedly contributed to Falafel Inc’s rapid growth and widespread appeal.
