Stopped in to this location on a Sunday afternoon recently on the search for good Falafel. The Phoenix area as a whole has extremely mediocre middle eastern food and there is not a single restaurant in Phoenix I have found to date that can match the heavenly Falafel that is served at Falafel's Drive In in San Jose or the various Zankou Chicken outlets in the LA metro area.
With previous disappointments in mind we decided to check out Sharazad due to the great reviews it has received to date.
When we arrived at about 2:00 pm the restaurant was a ghost town. Other than the staff and my girlfriend and I, the restaurant was empty.
But to make a long review shorter we both ordered falafel plate with a side of rice and fries. The falafel was just right..not too heavy and oily and not too dry like other Phoenix restaurants have a tendency to make falafel. In addition the Tahini sauce was very good and the fries were cooked crispy.
All in all, not bad at all for Phoenix. No where near what I am used to in California but up until time that I escape back to California in the near future it will be my goto place in Phoenix for Falafel.
