Falafel Inc, widely recognized as one of the DMV’s top-rated destinations for falafel, hummus, and shawarma, has officially opened a permanent location in Montgomery County, Maryland. Situated on Rockville Pike, the new restaurant will be franchise’s only location in the county and marks a significant milestone for the fast-growing franchise brand, which has built a loyal following through temporary locations,  pop-ups and mobile food operations across the region.

The move to a permanent space reflects sustained demand from customers throughout Montgomery County who have long embraced the franchise’s fresh, affordable, and flavor-forward approach to Middle Eastern street food. Over the past several years, the brand has cultivated a strong reputation across the DMV, consistently earning top reviews for its signature falafel sandwiches, creamy hummus bowls, and boldly seasoned shawarma.

The Rockville Pike location brings that same energy into a dedicated storefront, allowing the brand to elevate consistency, service speed, and the overall customer experience. Known for combining high-quality ingredients with accessible pricing, Falafel Inc has carved out a distinctive position in the fast-casual landscape that continues to resonate with a diverse and growing audience.

The new restaurant features the brand’s core menu, including its award-winning falafel—crispy on the outside, herbaceous and tender on the inside—as well as its popular shawarma offerings and house-made sauces. Customers can expect the same bold flavors and consistency that have made Falafel Inc a standout across the DMV.

Falafel Inc’s expansion comes as Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine continues to gain traction nationwide, with consumers increasingly seeking fresh, plant-forward, and globally inspired options. By establishing a permanent presence in Montgomery County, the brand is strengthening its position in a highly competitive and evolving market.

Located along one of the region’s busiest commercial corridors, the Rockville Pike restaurant provides strong visibility and accessibility, serving both local residents and commuters throughout the area.

With this opening, Falafel Inc deepens its footprint in the DMV and continues its trajectory toward becoming a leading Middle Eastern fast-casual franchise in the United States. For franchising information, visit their website at falafelinc.org.
