    I usually buy their falafel wraps from Frigo Vert but they were out so I checked out the restaurant and I'm glad I did! I got myself a trio with fries and their peach juice, which was really refreshing, for 5$ which is really reasonable. The falafels are so fresh and flavourful! Many places that sell falafels make them too dry, but Nilufar nails them! It's a cute spot to have a quick bite and the owner is so welcoming that you can't help but enjoy the atmosphere!

    Amazing place! I can't believe I didn't come to eat here sooner. Owner is friendly and charming. He recommended the cauli-wrap and it was really good and tasty. The vegan brownie was great too. Great place if you want to eat healthy and vegan for cheap. Will definitely come again!

    Best place in Downtown to get Falafel. I recommend Super Falafel which will cost you around 3$. I have been eating it for few times but i am a fan. Plus the staff is friendly and easy going. And its a cheap place to get your tummy full. Yummy.

    You can easily walk by this place as it's a couple feet below ground level and the sign above the stores sign appears to.be Asian.However, the food is an amazing deal with falafel wraps starting at only $1.69 each and nothing more than $4 from what I could see. Manager was super friendly too.

    A great place for having some Falafels. I do recommend to try it with garlic sauce! I with they could add more special dishes on menu just like before Covid.

    Family owned, local, friendly, fresh and delicious!!! You cannot get a more delicious meal at such a reasonable price. I've made a few custom orders too, (like a vegan brownie cake (the best!!!)) and tried their platters, which are generous and so so tasty. Supporting Nilufar FEELS good. When we say "Support Local Business", places like THIS are what we are talking about. Keep it up. We love ya!

    Just not what it used to be anymore. Used to go there a lot before and it was definetely worth 5 stars. I've gone twice in the past few months and it's not as good anymore. Very different. On top of it, the prices have near doubled and are not what you find on their website. And both times, I paid for extras(yes, yes you have to be for every little condiment like tomatoes) and they forgot them. Twice... Super sad used to love this place.

    Great customer service! Only rating 3 stars because it was my first time at this place, I ordered a beef shawarma plate to go and the beef was extremely dry and very difficult to eat. Not sure if this is their usual or just a 1 time thing. I will probably give this place another shot and update my review later.

    I just ordered from them for the first after learning they were closing down. I wanted to support a local business. Seeing all the positive reviews, I surprisingly got disappointed. I ordered a falafel sandwich and a side of garlic potatoes. The order seemed rushed, like no care was put into it. My sandwich only contained falafel and tomatoes. Nothing else, little to no sauce. And the potato side? Very small for $6. Barely any sauce. Nothing like the pictures advertised. In the end, it's cheaper elsewhere and more filling. :/

    I have been having these Falafels for nearly 10yrs. Leaving the West Island to have some. And now still using the catering services. Loooove the spicy ones! Also, the fact that she advocates for food insecurity not only in words but in her actions, only makes it more valuable to support this long lasting family business. Always a smile with Nilu! Thank you and keep it up 💗

  • 3/5 Denis Aurelian M. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is good and has potential but was slightly bland. Missing some spices. Other than that the prices are really good and staff is friendly and welcoming!

    I'm a vegan and don't normally have the budget to eat out but I was downtown and got really hungry so stopped here for a falafel wrap. The food was delicious, the service was lovely and on top of that it was super affordable. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the vegan menu! Thank you!

    My family came for lunch today, and they all raved about the great food. I especially loved the peppers, but everything was fresh and tasty. We had the best falafel, pita, hummus, all freshly made! 😊🥳 I ordered more for the Super Bowl.

    I went there after seeing the rating but it wasn’t worth. Prices are reasonable but the food was okay okay. Even the potatoes were not good. I am giving 3 stars just for the kindest staff they have.

    Kindest staff you'll ever meet. Delicious food at very reasonable prices. They have a variety in their Fallafel as well as their other menu items. Great juices. The service is always super quick since everything is fresh and homemade. It really is a must for any nearby students or anyone who happens to be in the area and needs a quick bite.

    This is really good for the buck ! It’s really cheap, really tasty ( some of the best falafel i had) and the guy upfront is really sweat (he gave me extra eggplant for free). Will go back again for sure !

    Quick, cheap, and best falafels in Montreal. Everything is made fresh to order. I ate there a lot when in college and make a point to stop there whenever I'm doing errands in the area

    The food is good, not to the point of being life-changing or anything, but the quality-to-price ratio here is terrific

    This place rocks! Everything is cheap, delicious, and vegetarian. I couldn't ask for more. It's a super cute restaurant, medium sized, and cash or debit only. The lady at the cash is super welcoming and nice! She answered all my questions about the food (I am picky). Perfect place to grab lunch if you go to Concordia and have some time.

    I always stop for lunch if I'm in the area. The felafel with the silky fried eggplant is delicious. I like that they let people pay a felafel forward, The nicest people work there. So friendly.

  • 5/5 K K. 3 years ago on Google
    Good Value is an understatement. They make classic simple tasty falafels! Fresh and obviously made from scratch (not from packaged/dehydrated produce)! Lemon tahini sauce yum. The woman the store is named after is also great! We have had a good laugh a number of times (albeit that was about a decade ago now...😳)

  • 5/5 Jared S. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my girlfriend were looking for somewhere to eat. I said I wanted Lebanese, she kept saying “Let’s go to ‘Nouille Forte’ ”. I didn’t want noodles, so I kept saying “nah.” We eventually realized what was happening and had an incredibly good meal at “Nilufar”

  • 5/5 Fae P. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cheap and really really delicious. A ton of vegan and vegetarian options. I go every day on my lunch break and it never disappoints, the staff is lovely as well.

  • 1/5 Bob R. 5 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The worst food ever. Shish Taouk doesn’t even look like chicken. They never owned a rotisserie rotating oven so how are you cooking this marinated chicken with salad dressing.Can’t expect much for $2.00 and the fat girl behind the counter has a very bad attitude. Don’t eat from these people as I’ve seen Mice in there establishment before they shut down. The Landlord of this building is a very nice person as I met him a couple of times. It’s unfortunate that Nilufar refused to sign a lease after the Landlord had asked them kindly for 15 years and they never once agreed to do so leaving the Landlord with no choice but to evict them.

  • 5/5 Shubh S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Sabine M. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered for delivery. Very disappointed with our order, both the sides and main (mushroom & tofu plates). It felt that this was rushed and not much care put into it. Was hoping for way better given other reviews :( Maybe I'll have better luck if I go in person.

  • 5/5 Morgane M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Amy A. 4 years ago on Google
    I seriously can't get enough of this place! They have such a great menu, but I still go for the falafels every time, no joke when they say best falafels in Montreal! Pair 'em with homemade soup and I'm in heaven on cold winter days like today :D

  • 2/5 Kaitlyn K. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was okay, tofu tasted like someone had forgotten to season it before/after grilling, and the portion sizes seemed small. The cafe seemed to a hipster vibe and was not the advertized middle eastern food

  • 5/5 pavneet s. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 E D. 4 years ago on Google
    5 stars for the falafel pita and lentil soup trio. Delicious, fresh, filling, amazing value.

  • 5/5 Mo A. 4 years ago on Google
    I cannot emphasize how much I love Nilufar. The falafel are so fresh and taste so authentic unlike most falafels around town like at basha or amirs.

  • 4/5 Kimberly B. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing customer service and great when catering events. The price for the food is reasonable. The falafels are great, and you can sit in the restaurant and enjoy your meal quietly without having big crowds cluttering the place.

  • 3/5 Ali Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Second, and probably the last time here! Almost the same as first time more than a year ago. Although you may think their prices are really low, but you still pay 10+ times of used materials value! The mushroom sandwich I got had a few slices of burnt mushroom and tomato and rest was a bit sauce and cabbage! The “juice” is an artificial drink mix with an unpleasant after taste. Giving them more than two stars because they had vegan garlic sauce. As a suggestion: just offer a regular size sandwich, improve the hygiene and charge your customers the same as your competitors! You can still offer economic options for people that their satisfying portion size is way smaller than average! You have a good location!

  • 5/5 James B. 4 years ago on Google
