From the restaurant's website:
"Once upon a time, a child was born in Jerusalem to a family of 13. At the age of 6, his father passed away. His mother no longer could afford to feed him so she placed him in orphanage school . He studied at orphanage school until the 6th grade. After 6th grade his mother could not afford to feed him nor continue his education. He had a wonderful idea and bought a frying pan, gasoline burner and set up a stand in front of the boarding school. Falafels was his specialty and soon he became known as the FALAFEL KING."
No alcohol available. Serving lunch Mon–Fri. Closed Sat–Sun.
"Potentates, emperors, sovereigns, lend us your ears. The Falafel King, Fouad Masroujh (who started cooking falafel on the streets of Jerusalem at the tender age of 13), invites your attendance at his daily bargain bazaar, which features souvlaki, spanakopita, ful medames (fava bean dip), sandwiches, and many, many other boldly spiced, fresh and lively dishes. Everything on the menu costs less than $10. ... Who says there's no generosity in monarchy?"
