Must try organic food - Edit
there’s a lunch set that allows you to get a falafel, soup, and a drink all for ¥1200. The atmosphere of the store itself is super cute and comfortable to sit in. The workers are very sweet, and I absolutely love how I can eat the food and know that I am eating food that is good for my body. Highly recommend!

Great food and atmosphere! - Edit
The food was great and the interior is chic! They have an English menu included in case you can’t read Japanese, and currently have Sakura-themed seasonal items. One of the best vegan-friendly restaurants in Tokyo

Great food - Edit
The small falafel stand was both reasonably priced and tasty. There's a little bit of room to sit. I had a regular sized falafel with the fruit soda and it tasted quite good; it had just a tiny bit of spice and a variety of good tasting contents. I recommend you try this place if you're by Nakameguro.

First Falafel Sandwhich - Edit
First time having a falafel in my life, and honestly, it was surprisingly good. There are enough falafels in the sandwhich to keep you full throughout the day. Although it is a little expensive, I would highly recommend! The location is close to the station which is also a plus.

Awesome vegan service shop - Edit
I had a regular vegan falafel sand today. It conctains many kinds of vegetable and I could feel that I was having a good healthy lunch! Chick peas are fried and tasted a little bit spicy and liked it. If you are looking for a good vegan restaurant around here, ballon is the best for you!

Delicious! - Edit
Sooo good! We had the regular cilantro falafel sandwich with a tomato soup and the seasonal sakura menu beets falafel sandwich. Perfectly seasoned falafel with a nice crunch, yummy veggies, and a great sauce! Very friendly staff!

If I didn’t have - Edit
the jaw strength of a toddler, I would’ve followed up my perfectly crunchy, Cilantro-beet-wrapped falafel with another one, exactly the same way. I’m so used to eating lame, un-inspired fast-food falafel from home for almost the same price, so while It’s more expensive than what you’d normally find, I sure think it’s worth it.
Read morePros: Inspired filling , Take-out available (gr8 if you have dogs) , Happy music
Cons: An extra ¥100 just for cilantro?

Super yummy - Edit
Found the regular portion a little small, but the coriander falafel was delicious. The pita bread was very fluffy and the sauces complemented the veges well. The staff offered the English menu and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

One of the best Falafel in Tokyo - Edit
We had the Falfel Sandwich. The Pita bread is nicely soft, the falafel is very crispy, and the sandwich also includes mushrooms and vegan smashed potatoes. That mix tastes is very good and different. Price is reasonable. Will definitely come back. Ps:. Close to the best Sakura area in Tokyo! (Nakameguro) :)
Read morePros: Taste, Location, Ambiance
Cons: Few seats

nice & healthy falafel in nakameguro - Edit
you order and pay at the window then get in to eat or wait for your food to go. the place has only six wall counter seats so it’s pretty cozy but it gets less busy after lunch and you can chill and chat cafe style. menu offers two types of falafel sandwiches, an excellent falafel salad bowl and “snack falafel” in a cup. you get to pick size, bread type, toppings and there’s a good choice of drinks. soy milk banana berry smoothie was really good.

All vegan. Ate a falafel sando with extra spicy harissa and it was a medium level of spice for my foreign palette. Will definitely return if I am in the neighbourhood. Excellent
