Moti's Falafel Stand, Rollins Avenue in Rockville - Closed.

Lunch here was not too bad. $4.99 for a falafel with (apparently) house-made pita. The falafel were huge and nicely fried, perhaps a bit gummy in the center due to the size but flavorful. The toppings "bar" had 4-5 toppings, but no evidence of tahini that I could find. They also do shawarma, and based on this visit I'll be back to give that a shot. They have a sign up indicating that they do chicken and beef tacos, and there are several other items on the menu that look like they are worth trying.

This is basically a hole in the wall connected to the Kosher Mart at the corner of Rollins and Jefferson.

Try the shawarma! It's addictive.

I do wish they'd work out a more efficient way of serving there. You order, pay, wait, they hand you your falafel/shawarma, you attempt to load it up with fixins, then you vie for attention to get them to wrap it to go, and finally you're on your way. They should offer those little plastic cups or something.

The falafel is not bad if made fresh. The lamb/turkey shawarma is pretty good, if a bit greasy. The tahini is that cream-colored stuff in the squirt bottle.
