Hallava Falafel

Hallava Falafel, one of Seattle’s pioneering food trucks, has been serving up fresh Mediterranean fare to the greater Seattle area for nearly 20 years. Operated by Chef Rob Killam, the mastermind behind the beloved Skillet Diner, Hallava Falafel specializes in gyros and falafel, delivering authentic and high-quality street food to its loyal customers.

Established in July 2006, Hallava Falafel set out to transform Seattle's street food scene. The mission was clear: provide top-notch, affordable meals, particularly in the Georgetown neighborhood where reasonably priced lunch options were scarce. Their falafel stands out for its authenticity, reminiscent of the traditional flavors found in Israel, Lebanon, and Spain, avoiding the pitfalls of Americanized adaptations.

Beyond just serving great food, Hallava Falafel aims to elevate the perception of food trucks in Seattle. By maintaining high standards of cleanliness and offering a diverse menu, they showcase that food trucks can offer more than just Mexican cuisine. Hallava Falafel’s commitment to quality and their unique Russo-Turkic inspired recipes have made them a cherished fixture in Seattle’s culinary landscape.
