absolutely amazing

One of the best finds in Madrid! Fresh made pita stuffed with so much veggies and sauces. Great prices for plentiful servings since most places in this city were kinda expensive. It was a super satisfying meal! I still crave this falafel one year later

Pros: huge portions, fresh food, amazing taste

Cons: tiny place

Riquisimo accesible. Buena música.

La comida es muy rica y la porción es generosa. Yo pedi mi menu sin huevo y no tuvieron inconvenientes en adaptarlo.
Tienen amplio horario de trabajo de corrido. No es obligatioria la consumición de bebida, incluso nos ofrecieron agua de grifo fresca sin costo.
El lugar es sencillo y cálido, con un toque bohemio y muy buena música.
Jazz y world music de buena calidad.
Los baños están muy limpios y hay varios rollos papel disponibles y a mano.

Pros: Precio y Horarios, Buen trato y Música, Sabor y Cantidad

Amazing falafel!

Delicious and cozy falafel spot! Best falafel I’ve had. Short and simple menu, but mostly vegan. You customize what toppings go in your falafel pocket, but everything is fresh and bursting with flavor. Very tasty!
Fries were also delicious. Not too greasy and real homemade potato fries. Finally, the lemonade was great because it was not too sweet.
Highly recommend stopping by here for a delicious and inexpensive meal.

Pros: Delicious , Inexpensive , Cozy

Best falafel I’ve had in a while

Had the falafel in pitta and wow, I could not fault anything about it, a solid 10/10, very fresh and very flavourful. Good value for money too, paid €5.90 and it filled me up for hours. Staff is very friendly and speak English.

Pros: Freshly made, Food was ready in no time, Clearly labeled vegan

Cons: Very few tables, Gets crowded as people queue up to order, Bit of a walk from the metro stations

The best place for a good falafel

If you are looking for a really nice falafel, this is your place. Loved the atmosphere, the staff was nice and the falafel pita made me more than satisfied. Perfect falafels that won’t leave you hungry.

Muy rico

Local pequeño pero comida muy rica. Tres opciones: Falafel, Shawarma (ambos veganos) o Sabij (vegetariano con huevo); que luego tú "customizas" con los vegetales y las salsas que te ofrecen. Los precios son entre 6 y 7 euros los "kebab", 3 y pico las patatas fritas y entre 2 y 4 las bebidas. La gente que trabaja allí es simpática y diligente. Volveremos.

Pros: Casi todo.

Cons: Poco espacio.

Falafel galore

Only three specialities to choose from but they're super tasty. I tried the vegan shawarma filled with tons of vegetables and covered in lots of spicy sauces and it was awesome. However there are only a few tables to eat in and what's worse, too many of them for that room. We had to wait to get a table but once we got it eating in wasn't confortable at all. We had the rest of the customers surrounding us all over just a few centimetres away, even to stand up you need to be really careful not to give someone around you a shove or a stomp.

Pros: food is awesome, staff is super nice, centrally located

Cons: limited seats, VERY limited room

Best Falafel in Madrid

The falafel itself is amazing and they load the pita with delicious veggies and sauces. This is a must when in Madrid.

Great falafel. Meh everything else.

The actual falafel is incredible. So good! Everything else is average at best though. Fillings are way too cold and cut too thick imo.

Seems understaffed and slow (lovely staff though). Hire

Basically a lot of stuff to improve but it's very straightforward stuff and definitely doable.

Not bad in terms of price.

Pros: Falafel

Cons: Bad, cold fillings, Busy and slow

Cold & average food, untidy place, maybe a bad night?

It was a Friday night and the place was busy, so people obviously enjoy the food, however we didn’t like it and wouldn’t go back. All tables were taken when we arrived so the queue of new customers were jumping on the used tables when someone left. We did the same but it was an extremely dirty table with plates, glasses, dirty napkins and sauce etc all over the table. We ended up going to a less dirty table when it freed up as we had received our food but the staff seemed too busy to clear. There are bins at the door but none of the customers were self clearing so they either need to enforce the “self clear”, or get another staff member on shift to do it when it’s busy. Secondly, the food itself was average. We both got the shawarma. The seitan was completely cold and there was sooooo much liquid in it that we suddenly understood why the previous table was so grubby. We literally used about 15 napkins each. I understand it’s a “fast food” place and maybe we got a bad night but based on this I wouldn’t go again.

Pros: Relatively cheap, Vegan food

Cons: Not enough staff to clear, Cold food, Small so limited seating when busy

Awesomely tasty

I usually don't eat this kind of food. I didn't like it before going vegan so it's only normal that I don't relish eating that now I'm vegan. But oooh it was so good. I went there after many of my vegan friends praised this place and I do not regret it. The shawarma was so tasty!

Delicious vegan sabij & falafel

Amazing find- thanks to Happy Cow! Tried pitas with falafel and sabij (made vegan without egg). Both excellent, though we enjoyed the novelty of the sabij (grilled aubergine). The curry sauce that they add is delicious. Filling, with plenty of flavor. The person at the register was fluent in English and assisted us with making our food completely vegan (restaurant is otherwise vegetarian).

Pros: Delicious vegan/vegetarian options , Convenient location

Cons: Like most restaurants here, only opens at 1pm

Best Falafel in Madrid

If you are in the mood for falafel then this is the place to visit! I literally love their freshly made falafels with choice of all sorts of fillings. Simple menu. Wish they would ask before giving a plastic straw.
