Tasty Falafel Platter - Edit
Our favourite restaurant for vegans in the area. Not entirely vegan, but did good falafel. Salad bar was great. Selection of smoothies and ice lollies. Went three days in a row.

Great falafel sandwiches! Really filling and I loved the salad bar to add your own salad to your sandwiches. Would give it 5 stars if I could!

The falafel here is absolutely amazing. Something about it is so additive. We came back to this restaurant 3 days in a row, tried other places in the same area, but still loved this the most!

Lovely meal - Edit
The Falafel Bar has excellent food. Even though you order at the counter, there is a comfortable and attractively decorated seating area. The menu very clearly lays out what options are vegan and vegetarian and there are good options for both.

Lovely place with such friendly vibes and a good atmosphere. The food is really fresh & delicious, and is great for options if you’re veggie/vegan (though they also serve meat).

Would give 5 stars if I could! - Edit
Excellent!!! This is some of the best falafel I’ve had, period. I loved the potatoes in the pita sandwich, and the fact that the toppings are from a a salad bar means you can customize exactly to your taste and load it up - they also had a wide variety of things to add including beets and a yummy carrot salad. I got the guanabana papaya smoothie and it rocked! (Although I didn’t ask if it was dairy or not). Service was great, vibes were fun and comfortable, prices were reasonable. 10/10 would recommend, and we’ll probably come back before we leave!

It's worth a visit - Edit
Can only agree with most ratings here. You should definitely go there. You choose a dish and can add the salad on a salad bar later yourself. We were so full afterwards and got a free dessert from the nice staff. :)

Thank you Happy Cow Community!! - Edit
Thanks to all your amazing reviews we just had the best meal of our trip! We ordered the falafel platter and pineapple mint smoothie and both were out of this world. The portions were huge and made fresh to order. We piled on the veggies from the salad bar and had a magnificent feast. The falafel was tender and the hummus was amazing. I couldn’t finish my tasty fries or pita bread, but my husband had no problem helping me out. Very well priced for the amount of food, quality and flavour.

Delicious Falafel - Edit
Both my husband and I got the falafel sandwich with fries. We enjoyed that you could stuff it with whatever you wanted from the toppings bar. A little pricey, but well worth it!

Absolutely wonderful falafel restaurant. The falafel plate, and falafel pitta are vegan as are a few other options. The falafel wrap was massive and the free salad was delicious! They have fresh fruit popsicles as well which are vegan.

Restaurant has English and Spanish menu and take dollars. Personally I find that a bit odd but it is a touristy area. Great falfel and vegan options. Also try the pineapple and mint smoothie so good:)

So much falafel - Edit
Stopped in for dinner because of the good reviews and it lived up to the hype. Little falafel place was packed. I had the falafel sandwich, which was huge. The pita was the softest pita I’ve ever eaten. Once you get your falafel, the next stop is the salad bar where you pile on beets, lettuce, carrot salad, cucumber salad, hummus, onions, and there are more options. I could not finish this enormous delicious concoction. Cute outdoor seating with a resident cat. Choose padded benches or traditional tables. Very clean.

Falafel sandwich was so good. Salad bar is excellent. They gave us a free appetizer bc u said we were grumpy hungry. The smoothies are superb. Friendly. Easy parking with no orange vest guys. I would rate it five stars if it were vegan.

Gosh Wowzah Wowzah is this place a haven I have long sought for.
Read moreThis has the best restaurant I’ve been at for ages. The two dishes I recommend are the falafel wrap ($8.5 atm) and the falafel platter ($12 atm). The platter includes fries (RESLLY GOOD ONES), falafels, hummus, pita bread (big one), and salads.
Both dishes have access to the serve yourself salad bar where the veggie are preprapred (such as softer, seasoned, pickled, etc.). We went back to the salad bar for more serving halfway through hehe. The salad bar actually makes salad tastes good. There is tahini and other tahini based dressings that add so much to the dish. This salad bar alone deserves 5 stars.
Back to the main dishes:
The falafel was one of the best falafel I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of falafel all over the world. It crumbled nicely and wasn’t dry inside (a difficult feat to master). The hummus was exactly as well— a perfectly creamy texture that allowed both the hummus itself and falafel to shine.
The sauces were INCREDIBLE. Douse your plate in them. You won’t regret it.
If you are like me and traveling on a budget, I highly recommend setting aside some cash for this. It’s worth it. You will leave more than full and happier than ever (at least I was).
Pros: Perfect falafel and hummus texture , Big servings , Self serving delicious salad bar

So good we are here twice! - Edit
Everything about this place is amazing. Beginning with the customer service to the yummy falafel plates and sandwiches with the ability to add what you love from the fresh salad bar. The potato added a whole new dimension to the yumminess. We also loved the relaxing outdoor seating. We look forward to coming again and again when we are here visiting.
