    Amazing food. Hospitable. Very delicious. My family makes homemade falafel, but Rami makes them even better. I came from the USA, and this place is a must. Thank you for your hospitality.

    I recently visited Crunchy Falafel and savoured their falafel salad—it was incredibly tasty! The flavours were delightful, making it a satisfying and delicious meal. Highly recommended for falafel enthusiasts seeking a flavorful and satisfying experience.

    The best falafel I have had! It can be easily missed as it is a small shop but do not be fooled. The gentleman that runs it is extremely sweet and everything is freshly made everyday. I wish I had this shop right near my house! I will be telling many people about this place. Miss the five guys and bring yourself here instead!

    We had delicious wraps from here tonight - one aubergine and falafel, one halloumi. The guy who served us was so friendly and accommodating, and gave us falafel to eat while we waited. The salad in the wraps is super fresh and the sauces were yummy! Also, they were really well wrapped and it was probably the least mess I’d ever made eating one!!

    Had lunch here today, the guy was very friendly and generous, we got free drinks and falafel and the food was delicious :) Will definitely come back

    My friends and I stopped by and had an absolutely lovely chat with the man running the store today! He was welcoming and kind, and I can't speak enough to how generous he was—I ordered extra falafel and he offered them to me for free as a kind gesture, and then he also offered us all free drinks! In hindsight I really wish I'd insisted on paying. The food was *amazing* as well, I would 100% go back and have more!!

    Some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. Freshly made. Very friendly, fast and open late! It’s worth making it a destination…so good that it’s hard to believe that 5 Guys can stay in business next door to them!

    Enjoyed a delicious falafel wrap from this Lebanese hole in the wall. Falafel was freshly made and had a nice vibrant colour and texture inside.

    Great falafel cooked fresh to order from a little kiosk. Super crunchy and delicious. All the best traditional accompaniments esp the pink picked turnip which is a must (in my view).

    Crazy good falafel here, so crunchy and delicious! The owner is super friendly and the service is fast. Would recommend!

    This place has a very unassuming front, and the work space inside is very small. It can be easily missed when walking through this busy area, but do yourself a favor and don't miss it! After a night of walking (and drinking), this place was an incredible spot to have my first shawarma experience! When I approached the counter, I was asked what I wanted, and I admitted that I had zero idea. After being asked a few questions, it was suggested I try the Chicken Shawarma. The friendly and enthusiastic guy making my food was a pure delight to talk to, and when I told him I liked my food spicy, he set me up with a sauce that was absolutely perfect! The chicken was tender, the pita soft and the veggies flavorful and crisp! I DEVOURED my sandwich standing off to the side and thanked my chef repeatedly afterward. We had plenty of good food during our stay in London, but this one will always stand out to me!

    The salad was really tasty, the hummus was so smooth, but could be more flavored, just like the falafels. However I’ll give 5 stars because the woman was incredibly kind and helpful.

  • 5/5 Maxime B. 1 year ago on Google
    Just finished my falafel wrap and rushed my phone to give it a 5 star. Fresh veg & falafels are really crunchy, which makes a well balanced wrap - go for it !

  • 5/5 Nimra A. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious shawarma and crunchy falafel! Sweetest customer service. Really enjoyed a great quick snack!

  • 3/5 Kimberley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Got the falafel and halloumi wrap - the falafel is really good but the whole thing was really dry, even though I got the tahini dressing. Also they have fewer salad options than other places - bit overpriced for £8 I’d say

  • 5/5 Andrei V. 1 year ago on Google
    So happy that the place around the corner had a queue and we stumbled upon this place, the food was absolutely delicious, tried the chicken shawarma and the falafel. The freshly squeezed orange juice went perfectly. Next time I'm in the area I'll go straight to the Crunchy falafel for sure!

    Inconspicuous kiosk with surprisingly good food and fresh OJ. Falafel-haloumi 4life :)

  • 5/5 Abhijit M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely fresh falafel wrap prepared fresh and served with care. Small place that is neat and clean.

  • 5/5 Aleemah 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best fresh and homemade falafel of the city ! The owner is so kind ! Thank you so much sir !

  • 5/5 Camila C. 1 year ago on Google
    the best falafel I've eaten in London after a year living here, everything is made fresh, incredible and a super convenient price! I recommend it with all my heart 🤩 and the man who prepares them is super friendly and respectful 🙌🏻😃😃

  • 5/5 Rainbow R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really tasty! Freshly made, very delicious, friendly/nice staff and it's a good price. The only thing is it would be even better if she'd put more falafels into the wrap.

  • 5/5 elenalape 1 year ago on Google
    I swear by this place -- if you're looking for a quick yet filling bite, you have to come here! Best falafel in London. The food is always fresh and high quality, and the people working there are lovely. As a bonus, they're open till late, which is rare in London.
