Lots of delicious options

Got a wrap, hot dog, samoas, and gyoza from this place and they were very tasty. So much so I forgot to take a picture. The people here are super friendly as well and is in a convenient spot if you get tired from shopping!

Was ok

It was a good quick snack on the way. A half of pitta is a really small size, if you are hungry take the whole pitta.

Moyen

J'ai pris un bol falafels salade. Le tout n'était pas très goûteux. La salade de type choux kale était dure. Le humus n'avait aucun goût. Seul le prix est correct.

Pros: Le prix, L'accueil

Cons: Le manque de goût., La qualité moyenne des ingrédients.

Too slow

If you are in a hurry, maybe don’t go to falafel brothers. I was waiting 45 minutes for my food.

Tasty, though

Okay taste but…grey?

Food itself tasted pretty fresh. The falafel was great, and pita was decent… but why was the baba ganoush grey? Baba ganoush should definitely not be grey, at most maybe a light brown / purple. You can see my photo below - it was really off-putting. The pickles were also not great, and the lotus fries had too much salt/tumeric, it kind of burned my mouth.

I appreciate the vegan Mediterranean option for a change of pace from Japanese cuisine, but I don’t think I’d return.

Pros: Food is fresh tasting, Falafel is great

Good food, loud place

The Falafel Brothers started out as an adorable little restaurant in Roppongi. With their success came more outlets, now opening in a new shopping mall in Harajuku. It's located on the sixth floor in a very big and loud food court. And that's where the trouble starts: once you get your food it's quite an undertaking to find a free seat. Also: it's a noisy place, so don't expect to have a pleasant talk with anyone.

The location aside, the Falafel Brothers offer a nice variety of falafel and hummus based fast food. Because it's all plant based, it's relatively healthy (still lots of oil and salt though). I went for the "full sandwich Asian style" and was pleased by the size, the variety of the contents and of course the good taste.

Pros: cheap, relatively healthy fast food

Cons: fighting for seating, loud and chaotic food court

Great place for vegans late in Harajuku

We ended our day in Harajuku by eating here at the rooftop terrace and it was amazing.
We ordered a falafel portion, karage, tahine broshake (AMAZING if you like tahine) and mango broshake.
Glad to have this many options late at night

Sadly disappointing

I hate leaving poor reviews, but sometimes you just have to.

We were looking for a fast and convenient meal in-between a variety of booked sight-seeing trips.

We love falafel and have been spoilt a little by the stunning wraps at Eye Falafel in London (check them out if you're in the east of London).

It wasn't particularly busy when we arrived. We ordered two wraps, took our pagers and sat down. 25 minutes later we got our food!

In that time we watched a queue of about 8 people form. The service was so slow that 4 of them left after about 5 minutes of waiting.

The food itself:

Well, the fries were nice and the wraps were big. But...

All the sauce, and I mean all the sauce, was dumped on the top of the wraps. From collecting the tray and walking to our table, most of it had fallen off, leaving us with a dry falafel wrap and an incredibly messy tray.

What was left of the pepper sauce on the wrap was so overpowering that I couldn't eat it - and I love pepper!

The falafels themselves were tasty, but as a wrap it was a bit of a disaster, I'm afraid.

Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but as someone whose eaten a lot of falafel wraps over the years, this was one of the most disappointing.

Pros: Fries, Price

Cons: Sauce dumped on top of wrap, Wrap was dry, Service was very slow

Yumm… Food!

Was a nice find once I found it on the Happy Cow app. Unfortunately there is another option in the same plaza that overlapped this location on the map so it was tough to find. Hope Happy Cow can fix that when multiple locations in one spot.
Anyways, I got a combo meal I guess you can call it. Was a full falafel sandwich with season waffle fries and a small lemonade for a drink.
I was so hungry and this hit the spot. A lot of sauce which was really good. Maybe a tiny bit too much because you take a bit and it just got everywhere or maybe that was an I-D-10-T error on my part and should have used a fork first. So warning, going head first, prepare for napkins for the face and if any drips. Regardless, perfectly made. Waffle fries were well seasoned and crispy. Lemonade was the perfect amount for this meal and really hit the spot on a hot summer day. Highly recommend this place and hey!!!! ALL VEGAN OPTIONS. So a go to if you’re vegan.

Pros: Great employees, Nice flavors and well balanced , Menu items on the menu are all vegan

Cons: Maybe a little too much sauce

Always yummy

I'm glad to see they're expanding.
We still have too few vegan franchises in Japan... 😢
Their seasonal lemon shake was awesome!
Took a while tho to get the food on a Saturday evening.

Always a good choice

I've been visiting Falafel Brothers for years now in their different locations and was happy to see they have a stand here.

Their falafels never disappoint and I like getting their peanut butter shake.

Staff are easy to talk to and welcoming.

Ok falafel

Good selection of options. Falafels themselves were nothing special. Fries were nice. It's on the 6th floor and there are lots of other restaurants there that also do a couple vegan options so I suggest looking around before you commit.

Vegan Falafels in Tokyo!!

Located on the 6th Floornof the Harajuku Kitchen & Terrace it’s a food court style floor with many restaurants. We had 2 Full sandwich sets Mediterranean style with waffle fries and fried lotus root. We upgraded to red wine & beer. You can pick between Mediterranean, American, European, & Asian style. Very good! They even have dessert!!

Pros: Good portion size, Quality, Taste
