Popped in here for a quick lunch & we were really impressed with the warm friendly service, large portions & delicious heart shaped falafel. The outdoor seating allowed us plenty of space to enjoy our lunch in the nice weather. Will return the next time I’m in town.

After seeing so much hype about this place, I had to try it out! The heart-shaped falafels are super cute and they fry them fresh when you order! The texture is honestly just okay though. Each falafel is dense, and not very crispy or fluffy. The flavor is overall nutty and delicious with rice. Next time I'll try it in the wrap! Everything is complimentary with your dish, but I do notice that they tend to be a bit inconsistent with their portions. For example, my rice plate had much more hummus than my boyfriend's rice plate. My favorite was the Achilles Spread! I can see why it's their house specialty. It's very creamy, fluffy, and tangy. A hint of garlicky flavor in there too. Very delicious. The hummus was also really delicious, but it tastes strongly of citrus. Pretty sour... but in a good way. Not your typical hummus. We also ordered some waffle fries (a bit expensive for $5), but they fry them fresh when you order too! PRO TIP: Dip your waffle fries in the hummus! Sounds strange... but it was strangely addicting. Since this is a TAKEOUT ONLY spot, we took our food and had a picnic at Henry Schmidt Park down the street. It was a great date idea :)

Pricey takeout that's otherwise pretty average but generous portions. Fast service. They deliver on their promise but don't offer much beyond that. You're going to find your staple Mediterranean food here from gyro to chicken schwarma and falafel. A plate is going to set you back 18 (2 dollars more than sandwiches). The food quality is decent: fresh, well seasoned, but nothing particularly standout. The meat is good.

Combo beef and Achilles chicken bowl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: meat was tender and the hummus and baba ganoush were delicious. For extras I would recommend not getting everything because it does get to be a bit much. Falafel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: cute heart shaped falafel that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Out of the 7-8 falafel I've tried in bay area I have to say these are the best I've had. A lot of other places are either dry or they crumble when you eat them but not here!

I am a vegetarian and my friends recommended this place. Though its couple of blocks away from my place, I never got a chance to try Achilles food. I always saw people enjoying their meals in their outdoor seating area; when I pass by that place (it’s located at Newhall Winchester crossing, so easily visible) and knew I am going to try it someday for sure. I am glad that my friends appreciated their food so much that I had to try it the very next day. I can bet that all menu items must be awesome depending on the taste I had in falafel pocket sandwich. If you order falafel pocket sandwich and don’t have any allergies, always go for everything in it from their complementary options because thats how it goes for yummy taste. Waffle fries are the must try. It has my heart now and I recommend everyone to give it a shot for the best Mediterranean food I had in bay area.

Portions are huge. Two people could share but you won't want to. I love that they give you the option of half salad and rice or all of either. The Falafel are heart-shaped. Can't wait to return to try the chicken. Their hummus is one of the best!

Update - no indoor seating this trip thanks to pandemic - prices are higher but still serving good food - two plates fed three of us no problem - very good Ok - very homey and busy! Owner eventually had time and came out and talked to us. The falafels were heart shaped but a little hard tonight for Valentine’s Day. A lot of choices to mix your plate - very good.

I had the falafels fresh out of the fryer and yeah they were delicious. My favorite thing about this place though is the ability to get salad or rice, or both, with your meal. I would probably not get sauce or hummus or pickles or olives (for salt), and get salad with a protein (falafel or meat), if I were eating here with the intention of being healthy. Their green salad is very green. Not just iceberg lettuce. The chicken shawarma was tasty. Had some fatty pieces which I think is normal. They have outdoor seating which is nice.

Good quick lunch or to go place. Great service, he patiently explained the choices & his recommendations. We had chicken shawarma with plate & beef kebab. Very generous portion of meat. Ingredients are fresh. They have a cute outdoor seating area. He gave us complimentary falafel (heart shaped :) )
