Amazing place!

Great falafels that you can get in pita or in a salad. We got two in pita bread, quite a few different set ups to choose from. We loved the falafel wraps, we got them spicy and they delivered!

Lovely owner who gladly talked about the place!

My partner was sceptic and thought it was just another falafel joint “whole in the wall”. But was very pleasantly surprised ☺️✨ they’ve got a few seats available.

They also make lovely juices, Lemonades and so on there.

Pros: Great juicy falafels , Cheap , Friendly staff

Really tasty falafel, super friendly staff, and best of all – great prices!

Such a nice little spot with delicious food that doesn’t break the bank. The service was warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Fabulous Falafel

The Falavela included falafel, pickles, cabbage, tomato, cucumber, and radish in an Arabic pita. It also had a good amount of hummus and tahini so that the pita wasn't too dry.

Pros: clearly marked vegan options, quick service

Great little spot with good food

I had five trips to Chania for work in 2024 and got a different sandwich each time, trying their whole menu. All of them were good and the owner is very nice. Falavela was a highlight of my trip every time we ported.

Flavourful falafels

Lovely owner, who does one thing really well: falafel. We had the baba ganoush falavela with added chili sauce. The tahini flavour a was amazing and the whole meal was great value.

Pros: Falavela falafel, Baba ganoush, Owner

Delicious and great value

This place was a life saver twice for us! We were struggling to find vegan food to pack to take to the beach and even to the Samaria Gorge, but when we found Falavela we were set😄We grabbed falafels to go twice from there and they were both delicious and filling, quite big actually and cost around 5€ 🙏

Pros: Great taste, Value for money, Filling

Tastiest Falafel Wrap

I've eaten a lot of Falafel wraps in my life (back home, we happen to live next to some great Lebanese places), but this is easily in my top 5 Falafel wraps EVER!

The wraps are clearly marked as Vegan or Veggie. The classic (vegan) is just absolutely HUGE! Great value.

Get it extra spicy!

Absolutely delicious!!

This place is a must.
The falafel wraps are a given… but what I hadn’t heard mentioned here before is their pies!!! Oh my goodness!! I had the spinach pie while waiting for my wrap and o vê o took the first bite I paused for a moment to fully enjoy the incredible taste.
The owner says it is traditionally eaten for breakfast.
They also had onion and mushroom flavors.
For the falafel, grab the wrap and head to the port for the sunset. Such a nice experience!

Delicious falafel plate

The falafel plate is delicious, and comes with three dips! Ask to swap yoghurt sauce for guacamole to make vegan. Lovely staff. Great option very close to old town.

Alright but overhyped

I was a bit disappointed given the high reviews. The falafel is OK but not the best. Appreciate that they have several vegan options though

Amazing!

I tried the authentic falafel pita bread and it’s one of the best falafel wraps I’ve ever had, hands down! The place itself is very inviting and friendly. Hope I’ll be able to come back again to try different options.

Pros: Many vegan options , Reasonable price
