Good vegan options

I ate there yesterday. Staff were kind, prices and portion sizes were good it was about €5 for a very filling meal.

Pros: Falavela falafel with baba ganoush, Delicious, Reasonably priced

Cons: Not that much seating would recommend taking out'

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

Delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I had the Mexicana, we took our falafel wraps and watched the sunset at the harbour. We then went back to the shop to get vegan ice cream- they had oat milk chocolate ice cream in cones!
Service was amazing, thank you! 10/10

Perfect vegan Falafel Wrap

Soooo fresh, tasty, huge and amazing!
We had the Mexican and the regular walafel wrap and loved it.
They have few small tables, it was a bit hard to find a parking spot close by, but absolutely worth it sitting there and enjoying the great food.
