Amsterdam Falafelshop, which is moving into Davis Square, is getting close to being finished.

According to Eater Boston, the Washington D.C.-based Amsterdam Falafelshop serves Middle Eastern fare as interpreted by the Dutch. The blog says it specializes in falafel and fries and that it has over 20 different types of sauce and pickles.

Grub Street Boston calls it "the best falafel parlor in the known universe" and says it will open in June.

Based on the status of construction at the site, late June seems a likely scenario.
