Falafel is one of those rare meals that manages to be hearty and healthy, nostalgic and fresh all at once. And while it’s easy to enjoy just as it comes, there’s something fun about giving it your own twist.
At Chicken Coop NY in Baldwin Place, we offer a base that’s already a favorite: falafel over rice topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and drizzled with creamy white sauce. But here’s what makes it even better you decide how far to take it.
Whether you want something simple or stacked, we make it easy to turn a classic into something that feels like your signature dish. And for those across the Lower Hudson Valley who love flavor and flexibility, it’s become a local go-to.
A Bowl That Begins with Flavor
Our falafel is made from mashed chickpeas seasoned with fresh herbs and spices, lightly fried until golden on the outside and tender on the inside. Served on a bed of seasoned yellow rice, it’s paired with crisp vegetables and our iconic white sauce for a flavorful, satisfying experience.
That’s the core but it’s just the beginning.
You have full control over how you build from there. Want extra sauce? No onions? A side of fries? Maybe both? We’ve designed this menu item to flex with your preferences, not fight against them.
Light Bite or Full Feast You Pickc
What sets falafel apart is how versatile it is. If you’re looking for a light, clean lunch, stick with the basic bowl. It’s filling enough to carry you through the day, but not so heavy that it slows you down.
On the other hand, if you’re really hungry (or just feel like treating yourself), it’s easy to turn this into a full meal experience. Add a small or large French fry on the side. Ask for extra sauce. Jot down any preferences in the special notes section of your online order and we actually read them!
Our regulars often tell us they love how easy it is to make a few small changes that completely reshape the meal without needing a custom order or awkward request.
Add a Side of Crunch
Let’s talk about those fries. Whether you go small for a light crisp or large to share (or not), fries turn this falafel bowl into a comfort meal that delivers texture, flavor, and that golden crunch everyone craves.
And because we serve them as an optional add-on, you’re never stuck paying for something you don’t want. It’s all about choosing something fast food rarely gives you anymore.
Sauce Isn’t Just a Topping It’s a Statement
Our signature white sauce adds a cool, creamy contrast to the falafel’s warm, spiced crunch. But what if you want a little extra? Or maybe you’re curious about mixing in ranch, or dialing up the heat with hot sauce?
You’re in control of how much flavor you want to pack in and where you want it. Drizzle it over the rice, keep it on the side for dipping, or ask us to go light. Your bowl, your rules.
Why It Matters
We’re not just serving meals, we’re offering a way to eat that respects personal taste. Not everyone wants the same toppings, the same portions, or the same combo. At Chicken Coop NY, we believe even something as classic as falafel over rice should leave room for personality.
Whether you’re skipping the onions or doubling up on white sauce and fries, we want every customer to walk away feeling like they got exactly what they were craving, not just what the menu offered.
So go ahead turn your falafel bowl into something that fits you. One bite at a time.
