About Jamals Falafel & BJ's Burgers

Crisp-fried falafel made strictly to order and classic beef burgers share the counter at this unpretentious Auburn takeaway staple. Locals swear by the hot falafel rolls packed tight with pickled turnips, smooth hummus, and fiery chili sauce—crisp outside, steaming and moist within. Beside the Middle Eastern plates sits BJ's Burgers, stacking real beef patties with melted cheese, chopped onions, and house special sauce. Retail shelves line the shop with pantry essentials, from bagged zaatar to hard-to-find homemade shankleesh.

  • Fried-to-Order Falafel: Falafel balls drop into the fryer only when ordered, tucked into warm flatbread with pickles, hummus, and chili.
  • BJ's Burger Counter: A parallel American burger setup serves seasoned beef patties layered with cheese, pickles, and house sauce.
  • Lebanese Pantry Staples: Browse pantry goods between orders, including house turnip pickles, zaatar spice blends, and homemade shankleesh.

Why Diners Choose Jamal's Falafel & BJ's Burgers

From freshly fried falafel rolls and real-meat smash burgers to rare Lebanese pantry provisions, here is why diners choose Jamal's Falafel & BJ's Burgers.

  • Made-to-Order Fresh Falafel Wraps

    Falafels are fried strictly to order rather than kept in warming trays, creating a signature texture that is crisp outside and moist inside.

    Freshly fried on order. Sauce is awesome and flavour is so good. The wrap was also quite cheap and good value.

  • Flavorful Real-Meat American Burgers

    Alongside Lebanese wraps, BJ's Burgers provides real-meat patties, toasted buns, melted cheese, and special sauce.

    Really good buns, pretty decent patties, nice pickles, freshly chopped onions, slice of cheese and a good sauce to go with it.

  • Custom Counter Assembly Made to Preference

    Patrons can watch their rolls assembled right at the counter and fully customized with fresh pickles, salads, and homemade tahini or chili.

    Everything was made fresh right in front of me, and they were happy to customise it exactly the way I wanted.

  • Hearty Rolls Stuffed to the Brim

    Generous wraps and plates arrive packed with crisp-edged falafel, homemade turnip pickles, and rich dips for reliable everyday value.

    Jamal never skimps on stuffing the rolls to the brim with fresh vegetables and homemade pickles, hommous and tabbouleh.

  • Hard-to-Find Lebanese Pantry Staples

    Retail grocery shelves stocked in-store allow customers to grab specialty home-cooking essentials like shankleesh cheese alongside takeout meals.

    if you are looking for home made shankleesh, which is near impossible to find unless your neighbour makes them, this place has them too.

Practical advice on timing, parking, and dining at Jamals Falafel & BJ's Burgers

  • Time Your Visit Around School Hours

    Avoid driving by or parking during school drop-off and pick-up hours, as there is a school directly across the street that can make street parking tight.

  • Call Ahead for Fast Takeaway

    Everything is fried and assembled fresh to order; call ahead with your order if you are on a tight schedule or looking to pick up quickly.

  • Plan Primarily for Takeaway

    With only two small tables in the shop, the venue is set up primarily as a takeaway counter rather than a full dine-in space.
