Lots of vegan options

Helpful staff. I tried the falafel wrap with lemon and coriander hummus. The falafel were warm and nice. I should have done a pitta instead. I bet that’s nicer. I also tried the cauliflower which was good too with a drizzle of tahini. It was all about £12 and included a drink. Decent and very filling lunch. I had to take half away.

Super hummus! Kid friendly

We love this place as it has a menu that has both healthy stuff (hummus, salad, brown pita) and naughty stuff (fried cauliflower, fried falafel etc). The menu has lots of vegan options and there’s usually vegan cakes available too. Even my fussy daughter likes it here. The hummus is probably the best I’ve ever tried and it’s always a treat to be given crunchy fried falafel instead of the soft pakora type often given in high street cafes. They have squeezy tahini for their wraps and a nice range of drinks.

Pros: Hummus is next level 😍, Excellent vegan options , Good for kids

One of my favourite spots ever. Everything is homemade, fresh and tastes great. Lots of vegan options, pretty much all of the cakes are vegan!

Great food, great value…

This place is a bit out of the way in Kingston but worth seeking out. We had the falafel wrap which was great as you can choose your own filings. I even got a sample of the vegan chicken which was also delicious. The food is great value and the staff helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Pros: Value for money, Select your own filings, Friendly staff

Thanks for taking the time to review us.
Glad you enjoyed your experience, there's so many vegan dishes to explore in the future 😉. All our desserts are vegan.
But our menu is not completely vegan and that's the reason that you can give us only an amazing 4 stars.
Have a cheeky evening,
Tal.

Amazing!

I had falafel wrap, where you can choose what veggies or hummus etc. you want inside! It was so delicious!! Also if you are a student, they offer you their homemade lemonade or some other drinks for free which is so nice! The staff is incredibly great. I can't wait to try their vegan desserts or vegan chicken!

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff

Really good food

Look out for their meatless chicken bites as they are really good! All the salads are vegan and the vegan carrot cake is delicious!

Best Falafel in Kingston!

I love this place! The staff are so friendly, and their falafel are unreasonably good. Probably partly because they're deep fried.
My order is a falafel and halloumi wrap, and you can add lots of tasty bits to your wrap, like houmous, raita, olives, salady bits, tabbouleh, and they have a tasty mango sauce, and aubergines, with a bold, smoky flavour.
I also have it on good authority that they're working on their vegan baking. On my last visit, I was given a vegan cinnamon bun, fresh from the oven, and so delicious they'll have to put it on the menu (mine was from a trial batch, I gave very enthusiastic feedback.)
They also do a vegan chicken, which my brother really enjoys.
Highly recommended, but check opening hours, they don't do dinner most days.

Pros: Those falafels..., Those aubergines..., Everyone's just so nice and friendly.

Tasty times.

Vegan and vegetarian options clearly marked (the majority of the menu is non-meat). Staff member knew exactly what was vegan. It’s a great place to mix and match to customise your meal. Flavours were great! We plan to come back soon.

Perfect for lunch

Really friendly and helpful staff. Food beautifully presented - loads of salad, wrap, pitta, and hummus bowl options for vegans. All very reasonably priced - I had a hummus bowl with fava beans, falafel, tahini, mixed salad and wholemeal pitta with a soft drink for less than £7.
Highly recommended.

Reliable option

Tasty food and a range of options for different appetites and budgets (from small nibbles to wraps and salad bowls). Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. Added bonus: different flavours of hummus and tahini - and a vegan chocolate-nut slice is available for a sweet treat!

Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Fast

Cons: Closed on Sundays, Portion sizes can vary depending on who is serving

Family Friendly Falafel

Shay and Tal, the lovely owners of this family run café, would love to make it a vegetarian business. They've been very receptive to suggestions, such as adding vegan labelling on their menu board. We've held numerous Meetups here, and it's my kids favourite place to eat out. Previous reviews have covered how good the food is, and I'd give 5 stars too, if possible.

Pros: Vegan labelling, Lovely family owners, Great food

Cons: Can get busy, Needs labelling on salad, Not 'fast' food!

Really nice

I would have given 5 stars, except Happy Cow don't allow that for restaurants that serve meat.

It's a good little place. I came in the mid-afternoon when it was really quiet, and the guy behind the counter was very friendly and took the time to explain the whole menu to me. And you're basically going to have a wrap or a pita with hummus (spicy or non) and your choice of other fillings (there were other options, but wraps/pitas certainly seemed to be their staple). I went for a wrap with hummus, falafel, tahini and salad, and it was excellent. It took about two minutes to prepare and was fairly reasonably priced at £5.50.

The decor was nice, there were plenty of tables (and the option to take away), and although it offered meat fillings, there were more than enough choices to keep a vegan happy.

Worth a visit if you want a quick and tasty lunch.

Pros: Very friendly service, Food was tasty
