Falafel fried fresh all day, chicken from a local organic butcher, everything cooked in avocado oil. No shortcuts, no mystery ingredients — just the food we grew up on.
Our meats come from a local organic butcher we know by name. Produce is prepped every morning, never the night before.
Every falafel, every cutlet, every potato. High smoke point, no seed oils, no reused fryer grease.
Clean eating shouldn't be a luxury. We keep the menu affordable on purpose so it's an easy habit, not a treat.
Dalia's started with one family's Middle Eastern kitchen and the belief that food this good shouldn't come with a markup. We still cook the way she taught us — clean oil, real spices, nothing sitting around. Every bite is a taste of home, shared with our neighborhood.
Read our mission"This was my first time at Dalia's falafel and I can't wait to go back. The staff were so welcoming, the outdoor seating was fabulous, and the french fries were so fresh — I think they might even cut the potato there! The falafel being flat paired perfectly with the pita. There was falafel in every bite! 10/10 recommend!!"

"Love the concept of Dalia's. A+. The execution is more of a B-/C+. It's a small operation that moves very slowly. I think they have a problem regulating the temperature of the fryer oil, because food that I got was very oily/greasy. I do like that they slightly overcook the fries. Very crispy. The flat falafel patty is extremely dense. Toppings are all first-rate. I'll definitely try it again, but am hoping it's a notch better."

"Fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The falafel is crispy on the outside, soft inside, and pairs perfectly with the fresh veggies and bold sauces. Portions are generous."
