A new dining spot that will apparently feature falafel is on its way to Allston.
According to a source (Sarah Wu), Falafellas is planning to open on Commonwealth Avenue, with photos sent to us indicating that it may be moving onto the ground floor of the storefront that is also home to Habibi's Lounge. One of the pictures shows a sign saying "How Do You Like Your Fellas?" while to the right it says "Boston Falafel House." No other information has been given other than from an earlier City of Boston hearing notice mentioning that it will have cafeteria-style seating and that Simon Boulos is the manager; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.
There is a restaurant in the Times Square section of Manhattan that is called Fala Fellas, though it appears that it has no connection to the one coming to Allston.
The address for Falafellas in Allston will be 1217A Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134. Its website is at https://www.falafellas.com/
[February 28 update: According to a source, Falafellas is now open in Allston, and based on its website, the restaurant offers a variety of falafel-based options.]
