    I swear, i am not a veg, but i could eat like this every day of my life. First time here I had a Falafel wrap with salad - it's big but so delicious that i swallowed it in a blink of an eye. And today i had the same + şakşuka which almost made me cry, just amazing. They offer quite a variety, i don't know how they do it in a tiny place like that, but after that mouthwatering şakşuka i will have to try the rest on their menu.

    I have visited this place twice when visiting Istanbul (an autumn of 2021 and 2022) and this is my favourite falafel place for now in the whole city. Prices are more than affordable, the food is extremely tasty and the stuff is very polite. Highly recommend. Thank you! P.S You should definitely try their tomato soup, it's perfect :)

    Falafel is really authentic and good here, the hummus is creamy and tasty, i just wish the spices were a little bolder than it is, the prices are amazing though

    Small middle eastern restaurant with only 2 tables. Tried falafel, hummus and wheat salad. They ran out most of the cold mezes (like tabbouleh, baba ganoush) even though the time was around 5pm. Falafel was delicious, crispy on the outside juicy in the inside. Not very oily as well. Hummus was so so, needs more garlic and texture and a better tahini can be used. Salad was a standard salad with regular greens, nothing special. Will visit again to taste the missing items on the menu.

    Budget-friendly, small vegan place. Their way of prepare falafel is differentiates from what is prevalent lately. Still fried but somehow not so crispy. It felt much digestible. Very considerable place for vegans and vegetarians with friendly people so far.

    THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! Their falafel vegan wrap is ONLY 10tl and it was so filling! I couldnt even finish half of it so i took it home! Every vegan should try this place for cheap food on the go.

    Really good vegan restaurant. All the food I tasted was astonishing, maybe it could help to have written the description of the ingredients in English just so that we don't have to bother the waitress to tell us what it is. I felt like I was asking too many questions but that's normal when you don't speak a language. Amazing food, very relaxing place, loved it. A very well done to the chef and owner.

    Oh my gosh!! Best and freshest food in Istanbul and that is saying something!! The flavours of absolutely everything we had was balanced and so tasty! The falafels were excellent. The salads were divine. The little mini pilaf and other little bits and pieces all had their individual flavours and were just incredible. Definitely get the Mezze thing to share. Try as much as you can. We shall be back for the falafel wraps I reckon. Everything was fairly priced for what it was. We didn’t manage to get a photo of everything but we did scape every morsel clean if that tells you anything.

    Absolutely delightful place. Great option if you want to escape the very busy places around this area. My partner had a falafel wrap, I had a baba ghanoush salad, and we loved both dishes. The price is fair, and the atmosphere is excellent. 10/10, a must visit.

    After a long day of site seeing we found Falfool Vegan House. The food was sooo delicious and fresh. We were so pleased with the falafels and hummus that we ended up ordering more. In addition, we needed to get a taxi and Shiva Jyothi and a very kind gentlemen (sorry we didn't get your name) went out of there way to help us find and speak to the taxi driver to get us back to our hotel. We can't thank you enough for making us feel so welcomed and enjoy your yummmmy food!!

  • 4/5 Abz H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with rich flavours. The salads are well seasoned and dressed, just as they should be. Tabouleh is authentic and tasty, along with the baba ganouj. It is prepared a little differently than I am used to in other middle eastern countries (it’s usually served with some tahineh sauce and garlic), but this one was also good without it. A few times I’ve been told that certain items were not available, but other than that I will be returning for more of the salads!

    Best falafel in Kadiköy. The falafels are crunchy, moist, not too oily and seasoned to perfection. Also love how they’re shaped like mini doughnuts. Prices are great too and friendly service.

    (Translated by Google) Falafel is incredibly crispy and delicious. It was the shop that made me love Falafel. I also liked Falfool hummus. I want to repeat as soon as possible. Those who prefer vegan meals should definitely go, and I can recommend it to meat lovers as an alternative food suggestion. (Original) Falafel inanılmaz çıtır ve lezzetli. Falafeli bana sevdiren dükkan oldu Falfool humusu da çok sevdim. En kısa zamanda tekrarlamak istiyorum. Vegan yemek tercih edenler kesinlikle gitmeli, et severlere de alternatif yiyecek önerisi olarak tavsiye edebilirim.

    (Translated by Google) I can say that it was the most beautiful falafel I ate, I can say that I also liked the smile of the owner and his pleasant approach. I preferred the situation, even 1 of them is incredibly filling. But its hummus and pasta are great, I would definitely recommend (Original) Yedigim en guzel falafellerdi diyebilirim sahibinin guleryuzu ve hos yaklasimida ayrica sevdim diyebilirim. Ben durum tercih etmistim 1 tanesi bile inanilmaz doyuruyor. Ama humusu ve makarnasida harika kesinlikle tavsiye ederim

  • 3/5 Anna S. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was ok, but we had much better Falafel in Istanbul so far, Food was fresh made, that's a plus but for a wrap and falafel plate we waited more than 40! minutes. That's too much, it's not a star menu.

  • 3/5 Jeffrey D. 2 years ago on Google
    Given the amazing reviews-we we’re quite disappointed. Coming from Lebanon-the humus was tasteless. Tabbouleh was average but also lacking flavor and falafel was just ok. Not sure what people are raving about. Better options elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Andreea D. 2 years ago on Google
    After extensively travelling the Middle Eastern world and the whole Mediterranean area, after witnessing a slow but certain spreading of hummus and falafel into the European world, after testing probably hundreds of products, I can surely state that Falfool's falafel is one of a kind. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, with a perfectly balanced taste on its own, even better balanced by the special lemony tahini sauce, it does need a special talent or perhaps a secret recipe to produce this perfection. About the hummus - the creamiest I've met, it also comes with a suprise itself, Just go there, it's Palestinian vegan food to its finest.

  • 5/5 Jonathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was absolutely amazing! The people who work there are so friendly and kind. It’s like feeling you are at home. And the food is just so delicious and even better it’s super cheap. We had the falafel menu which came with a very tasty side salad. The lentil soup was simply wow!! And the patates were the best patates I’ve ever had! And last but not least I had a brownie for dessert, which was fantastic! End of story we are definitely visit this place again and totally recommend it! Jomana & Jonathan

  • 5/5 Ashkan f. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoy their falafel more than I could describe, Fatteh was really good and tasty but my first experience of a vegan fatteh served with a crispy pitta bread and roasted Cashews so I prefer that one but can not say their fatted wasn’t tasty. So depends on your experience you can enjoy or more than enjoy. Oh here runs by a really kind and helpful owner.
