Great falafel

A great place to stop for lunch. The falafel sandwich was exactly what I wanted, tasty, filling and cheap! The hummus plate is also a great option. The owner speaks perfect english, he was very kind and even treated my friend and I to some halva at the end of our meal.

Really Good Falafel!

The falafel here is really good - lots of flavour, texture, and diverse ingredients. It's conveniently located, and they can do to-go if you want to eat at home or at another bar nearby. I recommend it for sure.

Pros: Good quality, Convenient

Really good falafel!

We had the falafel sandwich and it was really good: lots of vegetables, freshly made, crispy falafel and creamy hummus.
The owner is originally from Israel but lived in Japan for a long time. He is really friendly and offered great tipps for things to do in Osaka.

Falafel Plate

I had the falafel plate which was really tasty and a good portion size. It was 950 yen but came with a drink. Would definitely visit again.

A little falafel oasis

Well locate in the heart of Osaka, this little shop offers amazing humus and falafel. Though bare in mind it serves japanese portions. If you are very hungry order the falafel plate. Also, the owner is extremely friendly and chatty and speaks a good English.

Pros: Amazing falafel + humus which are rare in Japan., Friendly staff

Cons: Not the cheapest option

Good & Small

The owner knows how to provide good falafel, although the falafel-sandwich is way too small (just eat 2 for 600Yen each). The hummus is quite simple but nevertheless good and authentic! A must go, if you want something beside typical asian food.

Falafel & hummus

Back at home in the UK we eat a lot of hummus. We eat it daily, with everything. In Japan, hummus is not so readily available so after a few weeks travelling around we were pretty keen to get our fix.

We ordered the falafel plate which came with salad and hummus. The food was delicious, though the portion sizes were rather small, when compared to this kind of meal back home. Though with this being Japan I am not surprised, portion sizes generally are smaller here.

The owner/chef/waiter was friendly and spoke perfect English.

The restaurant itself is tiny, again quite typical for Japan. We arrived during a quiet period so got a seat no problem but at peak times you might struggle. They do apparently do takeout though so that’s a possibility if you’re keen for hummus and falafel but there’s no seating free.

Pros: Hummus! (Need I say more?), Delicious, Inexpensive

Cons: Small portions

Go for the falafel!

It was pretty empty when we came, only high tables, but that's no problem of course. The owner was very friendly and talkative and fluent in English which can be hard to find in Japan! He even let me try the spicy sauce (to spicy for me) and my friend and I got the falafel and the grilled eggplant sandwich. Definitely recommend. Around 1300¥ for two people, but the portions aren't giant.

Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Nice Atmosphere

So good!

After three weeks in japan I was badly craving hummus. I had the falafel plate and it was just what I was searching for. Full of flavour! Yummy!
The portion size could have been a bit larger though.

Pros: English is okay, Delicious

Cons: Small portion

Great little place

Would give five stars if happycow let me.
Friendly owner, very very tasty food. The place is small so it's a bar with stools rather than tables (though he seems happy for you to stay a while so don't feel rushed). The falafel sandwich is a little small for a main, but I had fries and a drink too (total cost 900 yen) and was satisfied. If you're hungry, there are other options you can have like hummus or shakshuka. Really happy to have visited this place

Pros: Tasty food, Great price, Nice owner

Good falafel to have on the go

Falafel was good but not very big portion size. If you go very hungry, it probably won't be enough to fill you up. Regardless, give it a try.
