Before preparing my meal, one of the employees hands me Matbucha (Tomatoes, Garlic, and maybe other ingredients), and Green Rice (Lemon, Parsley, Chickpeas, and Garlic) to try: I like the tastes of both of them separately; the Matbucha I try is generally the way I like my tomatoes (if not fresh, straight out the fridge), and the Green Rice is flavorful as well as soft (as I remember the Chickpeas being). My main course, The Falafel Pita, is really filling, flavorful, and tasty: I prefer eating Falafel this way. The fries are good too though maybe serving them in aluminum foil might help them maintain their crisp (or cooking them with less oil/longer, not really greasy, just prefer crispy fries). All of the meal options I mention taste really good without any sauce. Of the sauces, I like the Red Shatta because I like spicy sauces, it's spicier than flavorful which I don't mind since the food already is flavorful, and juicy. The Amba Yellow and Sesame Tahini taste really good. I prefer the Red Shatta on the Falafel Pita and the Amba Yellow with the fries. The customer service is really good: the employees are kind and patient.
Oh Hippea, how do I love thee? With plenty of the yellow sauce and turnips.
I haven’t been here in probably two years and I just got misty eyed after inhaling an indie box. I was so happy to discover that nothing has changed. Everything is so fresh and delicious and perfectly prepared. All the flavors are the same and the staff was just as friendly and inviting as I remember.
Fresh pita bread. Gluten free options (no pita so bowl or cone options). Great falafel really fresh stuff. Very nice people as well. If I lived closer I would be there all the time. And last but not least amazingly good sauces.
Great spot for a quick falafel sandwich. It's an all vegan place which offers falafel sandwiches and fries. The falafel sandwich is a filling portion and would have been enough for me. I did not needed the fries I also ordered. The place has interesting sauce varieties to add to your sandwich or dip your fries in. One of them is a mango vinegar sauce. They also feature a chocolate chip cookie made out of chickpeas. Their place is very small and there is limited seating outside, 2 tables with 4 chairs each. It's a great place to pick up some delicious to go food to enjoy at home, while browsing through 4th street, or to take with you to the arts theater, which is right next to it, and enjoy while watching a movie, if they allow you to bring it in.
Everything is amazing. Owner is delightful, team is usually outstanding. Recommend the hummus and fries pita with everything, plus tahini and the picked mango sauce!
New parklet is sweet and don't forget a glass of wine or beer nextdoor atvArt du Vin 😉
Street parking can be a challenge but city parking lot across the street.
Follow them on social for the 50¢ falafel deals!
OMG. This place is UNREAL. Hands down the best falafel sandwich I've ever had. I was in sheer heaven. I round make the trip in LA traffic all the way back down to Long Beach just to eat it again.
I don't know what they do to make it so good, but, WOW.
My only complaint is that we were one of only 4 people there and it took FOREVER for our food to come out, but luckily it was worth the wait and the staff was very friendly. Keep it up, guys! This is vegan heaven!
Amazing staff, great falafels. Who knew BBQ and Green Rice on falafels is where it’s at. I’m always happy when I stop by the Hippea. Thank you for all that you do!
No seating area available inside and there are 8 seating spots outside. Falafel and pita were perfectly cooked and not dry at all. Definitely one of the best tasting falafels that I have ever had. The hummus was also simply delicious! The service was also great. Very friendly staff.
