Best Falafel so far! - Edit
My girlfriend and I came here last year in April and it was my first time eating Falafel. It was one of the best meals I had so far and my bar for falafel has been raised so high. I was not able to find another falafel store which came close to this one.
Read moreWe came back to Japan and we hurried to get this oishiiii falafel again!
Every ingredient is delicious, the eggplant, the mushrooms, the carrots and the mashed potatoes.
If you happen to be in Tokyo, vegan or not, you have to try this one.
It is a 5 minute walk from Naka-Meguro station, which is 2 stops from Shibuya (take the Tokyu Toyoku line from Shibuya)
Pros: Price, Tastes amazing, Music, friendly staff
Cons: None

So Satisfying! - Edit
This place was such a great find! Finding vegan options in English can be a little tricky in Tokyo sometimes, but not here. It’s well signed, easy to find, friendly (English speaking) staff and most of such good food. Will definitely be back! Oh yeah, vegan ice cream - no sugar.
Read morePros: Vegan falafels! - Try the turmeric option!, Delicious and filling. , Easy to find. Close to the station.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
The falafel pita was delicious. The bread is super soft and the falafel is nice and crunchy with just the amount of hummus and sauce. I paid 840 with tax for the regular size which is cheap considering the high prices of Japan and it was a decent serving too!

Delicious falafel - Edit
We were relieved to find this place open after getting two other vegan spots that were inexplicably closed. The falafel was delicious and the veggies were super fresh and tasty. I loved the eggplant and mushrooms. They also give you a free soft serve for writing a review! Heads up, the indoor area is sometimes closed for private events but the outdoor window should stay open.

Near Nakameguro Station - Edit
Delicious falafel with veggies (served as sandwich or salad) and soup! Consistently friendly service; staff speaks some English, too. Vegetables always very fresh. Tiny indoor seating space, but there’s a street window for take-away ordering.

I came here with a friend looking for vegan ice cream and we were greeted by very nice employees who were also extremely helpful! I got the strawberry fruit soda the woman who helped me made it fresh and it was delicious and not too sweet! Then I the falafel sand with the beet bread can I say yummmm! It had multiple different vegetables and two different sauces can you say amazing! I was gone in an instant! For desert I got the raspberry soft serve it is homemade with no added sugar say what!??? It just finished the best meal I’m so glad this place is here

Yet another nice falafel venue - Edit
Falafel for the win! I love them, and was very happy to try out Ballon. They took their own twist on falafel sandwiches, which is greatly appreciated.
Read moreOn the minus side, portions could be bigger. And the ice cream was not memorable at all.

The best falafel! - Edit
This super cute and cosy spot has some of the best falafel I’ve eaten, and I live in an area known for its falafel! Get the meal with a soup and iced tea and definitely have the harissa sauce. Perfect after a walk along the river 😍

Great falafel - Edit
We came here because I really wanted to try their vegan soft serve, but was very surprised to find how great the falafels were! Packed with lots of fresh veggies and crispy falafels in a soft bread. It was a great little lunch. Their carbonated kiwi drink was also very good.
Read moreThe soft serve however was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't very creamy, instead it was kind of icy/watered down. I was a little disappointed. The caramel nut topping was really good, however.
Also beware, they only have about 6 seats available inside!
Pros: great tasting falafels
Cons: soft serve wasn't great, very little seating
