Falafel lovers know there’s something magical about that first bite: the crispy shell, the warm, seasoned center, the cool crunch of lettuce and tomato, all wrapped up in soft pita. But what makes a falafel sandwich truly unforgettable?
At Chicken Coop NY in Baldwin Place, we’ve made it easy to take this classic halal staple and make it yours with optional sauces, smart substitutions, and a variety of crave-worthy sides. For folks across the Lower Hudson Valley, it’s become more than just a quick bite it’s a flavor experience built around you.
The Foundation: A Classic That Leaves Room to Customize
Our falafel sandwich starts with freshly made falafel balls crisp on the outside, tender on the inside wrapped in soft pita bread and layered with fresh lettuce and tomato.
From there, you decide where it goes.
Want white sauce? We’ll drizzle it on. Prefer hot sauce? We’ve got that too. Not a fan of tomato? Leave a note we’ll hold it. Our special instructions box exists for a reason: we actually read it, and we want your wrap exactly how you like it.
This kind of personalization isn’t something you find at every counter. It’s built into the way we serve because we know that the best meals come from having a say in how they’re made.
Add Sides That Make It a Meal
What turns a sandwich into a full-on feast? The right side.
You can choose from:
- French Fries (small or large) for that classic salty crunch
- Mac & Cheese for creamy comfort
- Sweet Potato Fries if you’re after a soft, slightly sweet balance
These aren’t just throwaway add-ons; they help you create a balanced, craveable meal that hits every craving at once. Some customers even tuck a few fries into the sandwich (no judgment we support innovation).
Pair it with a cold 20oz Sierra Mist and now you’ve got a meal that satisfies start to finish.
Keep It Light or Go All In
Some days, you’re just looking for something light and easy: a simple sandwich and maybe a drink. Other days, you want it all: wrap, fries, maybe mac, and a cold drink to wash it down.
With flexible side sizing, you’re never stuck ordering more than you need or walking away hungry. Our portion-friendly sides let you scale your meal based on your mood, not just a preset combo.
And if you’re ordering online, just note your preferences from “extra white sauce” to “no onions” and we’ll handle the rest. We’ve even had customers build their own style: less lettuce, more heat, extra napkins.
Sauce: Your Secret Weapon
One of the most powerful ways to personalize your falafel sandwich is through sauce. Want to keep it classic? White sauce gives that creamy cool contrast. Feeling adventurous? Go bold with hot sauce, or ask for both.
Some people prefer their sauce inside the wrap. Others want it on the side. And for those who love balance, a drizzle of each can totally transform the flavor profile. The best part? You don’t have to explain yourself, just note what you want, and we’ve got you.
Why It Matters
At most places, a falafel sandwich is just handed to you in the same standard form, no matter who you are.
But at Chicken Coop NY, we see food differently. Your wrap should reflect your mood, your craving, your day.
By giving you space to make changes, choose sides, and control your flavor, we turn one sandwich into something that feels personal, not processed.
So go ahead and build the wrap that’s all yours: crunchy, saucy, and satisfying from first bite to last.
