About Us

Falafel King was founded in 1980. From our flagship store on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall to a Denver location on Colorado BLVD. Our food is also available in finer grocery stores and health food stores throughout the Front Range.

Falafel King was a pioneer in the movement toward healthier, organic foods. We use only the freshest ingredients—from vegetables to meats to seasonings. Our pledge to every customer is the most delicious, healthy and satisfying dining experience possible.
