About Cafe Shekel
Cafe Shekel sits on Main Street in College Park, one block north of the College Park MARTA station and a short MARTA ride or drive from the airport. The kitchen is shared with Seatalianos Pizza & Pasta, which means the menu reads as two restaurants in one room: gyros, shawarma, falafel, hummus, grape leaves, and Mediterranean salads on the Shekel side, plus pizza and pasta crossing over from Seatalianos. The lamb gyro and chicken shawarma plates are the most-ordered items, served with rice and salad. Hours run late — until midnight Friday and Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sunday — which makes it one of the few late-night options for a sit-down meal in the College Park / airport corridor. Reviews are split: regulars praise the hummus, falafel, and grape leaves and the late-night fried pickles and pizzas, while others note inconsistency in shawarma execution and order accuracy at peak times. The Yelp listing carries 38 reviews and 26 photos, and Slice, Uber Eats, and the cafe's own ordering page all carry the menu, which suggests delivery is a meaningful share of business. The College Park location is a useful anchor — Main Street is walkable, the MARTA station drops you a block away, and the surrounding stretch has several independently run kitchens of similar scale rather than chains, which is part of why the area gets used for late-shift and post-flight meals.
