    Great spot for a drink and excellent service! Didn’t have any food so can’t give an opinion on that.

    I always thought this place had a silly name but now having seen inside I think its even more ridiculous as it suggests that its a standard local place but actually its really nice inside. Interior is really nice and customer service very high quality. Prices were a lot higher than I was expecting (from when I expected it to be a local place) so I chose something at the lower end which was a Penang curry + rice for 165b. The taste was great but the serving size only medium which seemed a bit small for the price. Doesn't feel at all Thai inside and is geared towards upmarket tourists.

    (Translated by Google) The weight of the dish is very strong, and the product is also top-notch. This Thai meal is full and then there is a foot massage on the opposite side. This match is really cool! (Original) 菜的分量很给力,出品也一流,这泰餐吃饱再到对面来个足底按摩,这搭配真是爽!

    VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS REJOICE. 02/11/18. 13/12/18. 16/12/18. 11/05/19. 20/05/19. Great little open style Restaurant. Inside and Outside seating. Clean bathroom. Free WiFi. 02/11. 4⭐ I had a Falafel Sandwich. (The Secret to getting everything to fit, before trying to eat it, gently squash your falafel with your fork, this way they don't slide out everywhere). 4 Crispy and Moist Falafel served on Fresh Baked Sourdough Bread Pocket, mixed salad including Beetroot (which I wasn't expecting, but loved). Also comes with 2 side sauces and 2 pickles. Huge serving. I actually took half home to devour later. The Prices are really inexpensive for the size of what you get. The Staff were Friendly and helpful. I would have given 5 Stars... But for the Man that thought it was okay to sit inside and smoke cigarettes while people were trying to eat. (Staff should Definitely have said something). When he lit up again, that's when I got the rest to go. First of Many Visits..... As long as Smoking Man is not there. 13/12. 4⭐ Lunch was extremely delicious. The Falafel were once again Crispy on the outside, whilst soft and moist in the center. Served with a Large mixed salad. This time we also tried the Desserts. The Apple Pie was scrumptious, hints of clove and cinnamon, with a giant dollop of fresh whipped cream. Ask them to warm it for you, it makes all the difference. The Chocolate Cake was filled with Cashews and Almonds, and is a dense slice of Delish. It's also Vegan. The staff are Wonderful. It's nice to be greeted and remembered, especially as I'd not been there for quite a while. Prices are Fantastic for the amount of food. The Atmosphere was relaxed and chilled. 16/12. 2⭐ What the Heck Happened Last Night??? We fortunately ordered before 6:30pm. After that the "Wheels Fell Off". I literally witnessed 16 people get up and walk out because NO ONE had approached them to take there orders after 20 minutes. I saw people waiting about 30 minutes for their meals. At 7:30 they'd run out of Pita Bread....that's one of the basics of the meals. There was NO STAFF AT FRONT OF HOUSE. They were ALL in the Kitchen. This was a Shocker and Extremely Disappointing to witness. The Night Staff cannot handle the Pressure. I'd noticed similar the night before. The day staff never have any problems and just breeze through order after order. 11/05/19. 3⭐ They've taken some things off the menu. Taken away a few sides. No Apple Pie. They'd made No Babaganoush on a Saturday. What??? 20/05/19. 4⭐ Back to normal. Great Service. Great Food. The Owners were working today so everything went smoothly.

    Really tasty falafels here! I got the falafel platter which comes with 4 falafels, 2 choices of dipping by sauce and a couple of pickled choices. Make sure you get the sweet potato over the fries it is amazing! Come with a salad in addition with some pita bread.

    This is really good stuff. The falafel platter. I hope it stays that way. Will always visit for some of that when in town. Pasta might be precooked though.

    Cool little restaurant with great falafels at reasonable prices. The falafel sandwich is a pita bread filled with delicious falafels and comes with your choice of two different sauces and two types of pickles. Their hummus is also great.

    Great place for lunch and dinner. We went for lunch in the midday heat and they stuck the fans on right away and it made it much cooler. I had the falafel platter with tsatziki and spicy harrisa sauce with black olives and cucumber. The falafels are well cooked but are tasty and not dry inside. The pitta tasted homecooked and was made with white flour. The hummus isn't what I would usually recognise as humous back home, it's alot more runny and less chickpea-y but it tasted great all the same. The harrissa sauce is amazing and not too spicy, more of a smoked spice taste. The picked cucumbers were good, similar to gherkins in the UK and black olives were good too. Overall the platter is huge and for me, was big enough to share! It also comes with a side salad of lettuce, carrot, beetroot, tomatoes and radishes. I had the waffles and ice-cream for pudding which was also great. It came with 2 waffles, maple syrup, and 2 kinds of ice cream: chocolate and Thai tea. There was also some coconut cream (?)on the plate which was delicious. For drinks they've got lots of soft drinks, beer and some delicious small jugs of fruit shakes. I had the mango and passion fruit one which was icey and refreshing. Overall it was so tasty and a great place to get my falafel fix! For 149 baht the platter isn't cheap but is big enough to share. If you wanted something smaller and cheaper the falafel pitta looked similar for around 80 baht.

    Amazing food at very reasonable price and large servings. Everything about this place was great, with tasty, healthy options, highly customisable menus and a nice chilled atmosphere. Only drawback, it takes quite some time to get the good prepared, so don't wait until you're starving before going and ordering!

    Great falafel sandwiches! Big portion. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully cooked falafels are crispy on the outside, warm in the inside. Rich and flavorful. And their tahini is the best I’ve ever had. Would love to comeback.

  • 5/5 Andrea 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in town. Great value, and SO delicious. With the falafel sandwich, I was able to select 2 sauces and 2 garnishes. Portions were larger than they looked in the pictures, so I was very full and satisfied. The salad was also very delicious and fresh. It's hard to find quality salads in Chiang Mai, and the Falafelist is a place I'll be going to again for a good salad. Plus, this place is located in my favorite area of Old City. Definitely a must-visit!

    (Translated by Google) Although the price is a bit higher, but also because their weight is full! The first pineapple (pineapple?) is really sweet enough. The shrimp sauce and the cabbage are really delicious. The green curry and the pig are also great. (Original) 雖然價位比較高一點,但也是因為他們的份量都滿大的!一開始的鳳梨(菠蘿?)真的有夠甜,蝦醬空心菜跟高麗菜真的好好吃,綠咖喱、打拋豬也都很棒,大推!

  • 3/5 Juan P. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The site is very cool or very touristy. The attention of the staff very good and attentive. We had a problem due to an error in the menu, we ordered two salads, one of tuna and the other of salmon. The tuna was very good and we had the surprise with the salmon one, not only did it not look like the one in the photo (in the photo it was smoked salmon and on the plate it was a round of salmon made in the pan) yes not that it was extra spicy on top. We told the waiter that we could not eat it, that there was nothing spicy on the menu (when it is indicated on other dishes) and that we did not know it would be. The waiter told us that there was no problem, that he would bring us another tuna salad. The surprise was asking for the bill and seeing that they wanted to charge us for the salmon salad. We told the manager that we were not going to pay for something that we had not eaten by his mistake, not because we did not feel like it. At first he wanted us to pay it yes or yes but when he argued, finally he did not charge us, he stayed in the attempt to sneak, strain. (Original) El sitio es muy chulo o muy turístico. La atención del personal muy buena y atenta. Tuvimos un problema por un error de la carta, pedimos dos ensaladas, una de atún y la otra de salmón. La de atún estaba muy buena y la sorpresa la tuvimos con la de salmón, no solo no se parecía a la de la foto (en la de la foto era salmón ahumado y en el plato era un redondo de salmón hecho en la sartén) si no que encima era extra picante. Se lo comentamos al camarero, que no nos la podíamos comer, que en la carta no ponía nada de picante (cuando en otros platos sí que lo indica) y que no sabíamos que iba a serlo. El camarero nos dijo qué no había problema, que nos traía otra ensalada de atún. La sorpresa fue al pedir la cuenta y ver que nos querían cobrar la ensalada de salmón. Le dijimos al encargado que no íbamos a pagar una cosa qué no habíamos comido por error suyo no porqué no nos apeteciera. Al principio quería que la pagáramos sí o sí pero al argumentarle, finalmente no nos la cobró, se quedó en el intento de si cuela, cuela.

    THE BEST FALAFEL I HAVE EVER HAD! The falafel and the pita bread are home made and come warm... the hummus is also delicious! I just can’t get enough of this place. I always order the platter, that comes with bread, fries, salad, two options of sauce and it’s a feast! I absolutely looooove it!!

    Awesomest felafal in town... As always.. I go there almost every week.. the quality is always perfect...but what's even more amazing now is that the guy who takes the orders, is very friendly.. the previous guy was so rude that I almost lost appetite every time I would see him... But the good thing is that they replaced him with a new guy now and the new is very friendly and quick and always smiling. The rude guy is still there but in the kitchen... And does not bother me .. nothing against him, but people taking orders should not be rude so am happy he still has his job, but now only inside kitchen.

    Absolutely delicious!! The falafel was excellent (imagine that), as was the baba ganoush & tzatziki. The harissa was also amazing, not too spicy. Staff were friendly & service was prompt. I had to remove a falafel to be able to pick up the pita, haha! It was stuffed to the brim. The vegetable fillings were so flavorful & fresh. The Chinese radishes & cucumbers on the side were pickled & had a strong flavor, it’s nice they serve them on the side. We will be back for sure! A falafel pita was 89 baht.

  • 4/5 Vinimay K. 4 years ago on Google
    The best falafels in town for decent price. Lovely ambience, the shakes are amazing, the cakes and dessert are amazing. Why 4 stars then? Well there is only one issue. The guy who has recently been taking orders and working here is very unfriendly. There is nothing else that I can say is wrong with the place or the quality of the food or anything. WiFi works fine as well. And the lady here is very nice, but one guy... Is very unfriendly.. seems like he is doing a favor to us by serving us food even though we are paying for it. His attitude always spoils our mood...he is rough with the way he takes orders or serves the food. We are not in a prison. So we have started to think that whether we should even come here and get our mood spoilt, just for a falafel. I mean Chiang Mai is no short of good places to eat.

  • 4/5 Rebecca P. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent tasting falafel. Good option for vegetarian/vegan. They do not offer gluten free pita, but will give you extra falafel instead of pita bread which was nice. Really nice fresh beverages/shakes. The variety of sauces leave a lot to be desired. The fresh salad is really nice. The hummus is more like tahini sauce and lacks flavor.
