Joe's Falafel

Joe’s Falafel is technically in Universal City, but this tiny strip mall spot has such good food, we’re choosing to ignore neighborhood boundary lines. Plus, its Cahuenga Pass location is around the corner from all the major studios, making it an ideal lunch hour pilgrimage. You can’t really go wrong with anything at this order-at-the-counter spot, but the beef kabobs, chicken shawarma, and falafel sandwiches on fresh-baked laffa are good places to start. Also, outside of the large combo platters, pretty everything falls under $16.
