Amsterdam Falafelshop Is Opening in Boston's Kenmore Square

Last year we reported that a Washington, DC-based falafel shop that has a location in Somerville was planning on opening a few more shops in the Boston area. Now we have learned where one of them will be.

Eater Boston is reporting that Amsterdam Falafelshop is going to be opening in Kenmore Square, moving into the Beacon Street space where a location of Boca Grande had been until closing last summer. The article says that this shop will have approximately twice the seating of the location on Elm Street in Davis Square, with the eatery looking to open later this year. Expect to see such items as falafel, salads, fries, and chips at the new store.

[February 26, 2015 update: A new article from Eater Boston says (via the restaurant's Twitter page) that the Kenmore Square location of Amsterdam Falafelshop is waiting on what appears to be final inspections; as soon as they get the green light to open, we will post another update here.]

[March 12, 2015 update: According to a Twitter post from Boston Globe writer @kcbaskin, the new location of Amsterdam Falafelshop in Kenmore Square opens tomorrow (Friday, March 13).]

The Somerville location of Amsterdam Falafelshop first opened its doors in July of 2012.

The address for this new falafel shop in Kenmore Square is: Amsterdam Falafelshop, 642 Beacon Street, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for the group of shops can be found at http://www.falafelshop.com/
