    One of my best finds ever ! Without exception the BEST falafel wrap I have ever had outside the Middle East. Falafels seasoned and cooked to perfection. The tahini source was on par, if not better than I have had on my travels to the middle east. Perfect accompaniment of pickles, hummus and herbs. Service was fast and hygiene standards very high. One of my very few SIX star establishments. Highly recommended. A true mecca for food lovers.

    This was my favorite place for falafel in London, but the falafel guy (with long beard) needs to realize that we are customers, not his subordinates and must show respect, and I do recommend for him to take some anger management classes to stop loosing customers and learn how to politely speak with others! Very bad attitude from him on two different visits. I defiantly won’t visit this establishment again and I will make sure that non of my family and friends do that too!

    I had the medium deluxe kebab with extra hot sauce. I really was quite in awe of the combinations of the flavours in the wrap it really was excellent and had great flavour and texture. I was full and there were two larger sizes available. Highly recomend this and the service was welcoming and fast.

    I love this restaurant. Every time I come to London from Scotland, it's worth the extra miles to come here. I have tried others as a last result but it doesn't beat this place. The people are lovely and generous portions. I cannot complain. The choices on the menu are a selection. Everyone I ask have said they have been coming here for years. I would be doing the same if I was local. I highly recommend for clean, reasonable priced, fresh and filling food. This is the place to go. I am so happy the name is simple so if you forget, it's not hard to find on Google. I am on my way today and will be adding pictures for sure. I only travelled 500 miles😊

    I was a regular customer, despite the lukewarm service. But today was the last straw for me. I arrived at the place at 10:30 and the door was open so I assumed they were open, before i took a step in I was dismissed with a hand gesture from the employee as though I was a pest. It was extremely rude. He could have simply said sorry sir we are closed and kept me as a customer. But i will no longer go there. The Sudanese falafel and the Egyptian falafel in the market nearby are amazing and come with great customer service, much more deserving than this place and also cheaper

    I had such a good falafel wrap from here today. I chose the Syrian wrap and got the extra large and it was amazing!!! Absolutely massive.

    This now permanent, small diner comes off the amazing success of a mobile falafel stand, very near this location. If authentic falafel is what you are after, you can now rest, assured you will not be disappointed. A simple, honest, non pretentious place offering good food at great value. We love Mr. Falafel, and make a deliberate detour to attend every time we are in London.

    I eat at this place every time I come to London. By far, this place makes the best falafels. The falafel sandwich is so delicious, fresh, filling and has lots of veggies. The service is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Possibly the best falafel wrap I’ve ever had. Service was great and staff were very welcoming. Finally the prices are good for what you get also. Very tempted to get their extra large next time, which looked over a foot long!

  • 5/5 Tasneem Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning food, I'm a very picky eater but the owner of this place will always cater to your needs! I was incredibly happy from start to finish, the owner is friendly, hygienic, thoughtful, and puts care into every single wrap. I highly recommend this place, the portions are large and not that expensive at all. It's filling and a good energiser, and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or simply just a snack if you're hugnry and happen to be passing by. This is definitely my favourite place now, I'll never get sick of how flavourful everything was!

    Don't expect a restaurant as this is more of a takeaway place where there are only a few tables inside and no waiter. Strip away the peripheral superficial decor and this unpretentious little Falafel shack tucked away in Shepherds Bush market is undoubtedly the best Falafel joint in the whole of London. It’s very close to the main road, so you don’t have to venture too far into the market. With a variety of Falafels to choose from, they have innovative flavour combinations to cater for the Western palate including fillings such as Feta Cheese, Halloumi Cheese, Spicy Tomato and more. I asked the chef to prepare me the traditional Lebanese Falafel which includes just five ingredients; tomatoes, red pickles, green pickles, parsley and Tarator sauce. Tarator is a wonderful Tahini based sauce used as a condiment for many Middle Eastern dishes. Having been raised on falafels, I know what a good falafel is supposed to taste like. Theirs certainly don’t fall short compared to those I’ve eaten in the Middle East. Crispy, fresh, warm – each bite is truly mind blowing. Prices are reasonable where portion sizes are very generous. Regular wraps are between £4.75 - 6.25 and the extra large between £5.50 - 7.30. The cafe is open 11.00 - 18.00 Mondays to Saturdays. If only they were open for dinner too. I have been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. It is spotlessly clean and consistently excellent with very fast service. A mono-product concept where quality is very high. The owner who is Palestinian also runs the café. He merits more than just a recommendation. He deserves an award for this place.

    We'll, it's been probably close to 10 years since I was last here but, wow, still great value, great quality and great tasting. Had the xl falafel and haloumi wrap and it was everything I remembered. Shame we are only here for a few more days.. ... definitely worth travelling 10,500 miles for!

    Mr. Falafel offers delicious falafel with a flavorful blend of herbs and spices. The falafel balls are well-seasoned and have a nice crispy exterior while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. The best in whole London! I have been coming here for years. Over 10 years now! And this guys always an amazing job! Variety: The marketplace likely offers a variety of options, including falafel wraps, plates, salads, I love the fry cauliflowers . Quality: Customers generally appreciate the high-quality ingredients used in Mr. Falafel's dishes, as well as the freshness of the falafel and accompanying ingredients like salad, tahini sauce, and pickles. Value: Prices at Mr. Falafel are typically reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided, making it a good value for customers looking for a satisfying and affordable meal. Overall, Mr. Falafel in West London is likely a popular choice among locals and visitors alike for its tasty falafel, variety of menu options, quality ingredients, and reasonable prices.

    Best falafel ever, I'm not a big fan of falafel but my partner practically begged me to give this place a go, and I was not disappointed, I've since been a few more times, trying the different variations they have to offer. Also their chips are always hot and fresh!

  • 5/5 Eva S. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    The BEST falafel in London!!! End of discussion! Every person I’ve brought along to this place becomes obsessed with it. Delicious food, friendly team, great value and a lovely, chilled spot.

  • 5/5 Zahra 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Absolutely amazing! Best falafel I have ever had no exaggeration, made fresh to order. Delicious no nonsense fresh food with top quality ingredients. Restaurant is clean and the staff are extremely friendly and kind. I’ve already recommended to all my family and friends and most definitely will be eating here time and time again. I just wish they had a branch close to me, I would be there every day.

  • 5/5 Isabella F. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the best falafel wraps in london. So much choice too. The sumac chips always go down a treat. They take their sweet time to make the wraps but all done fresh and it's well worth the wait.

  • 5/5 Sahar S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Carolyn C. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to regularly frequent Mr Falafel 10 years ago when I worked in the area. Have finally made it back after so many years and their falafels are still amazing! Well worth making the effort ❤️

  • 5/5 Joe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious classic falafel wrap. I will be returning for sure. What a great place; it is clear they care about their food 🥙

  • 5/5 A H. 8 months ago on Google
    We were looking for a good falafel place around the area and came across this place. After tasting the wraps I would say these are hands down the best wraps I've had in London. We got wraps 9 and 10 on the menu which were a generous size and very filling. The wraps were clean and wrapped nicely and the ingredients were fresh and flavour was authentic. We will definitely be visiting again and trying other items on the menu.

  • 5/5 Magdalena W. 8 months ago on Google
    Eating falafel supreme and can't believe how good this is. The best wrap I have ever had. I enjoyed every single bite of it as it's so full of flavours. Highly recommended!!!

  • 5/5 PJ (. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the best falafel restaurant in West London with super friendly staff, I’ve chosen falafel and halloumi. 10/10

  • 5/5 Johnny R. 2 years ago on Google
    Today I had a lunch of falafel and hummus, with olives and pickles, at Mr Falafel. It was outstanding, the best falafel I've eaten in London by a long way. Crisp on the outside and succulent (but not greasy) on the inside, perfectly spiced and delicious. The hummus was also perfection - a generous helping nicely garnished with parsley, olive oil, boiled chick peas, pickled turnip and a dash of cayenne. I've lived and travelled in the Middle East, and my meal compared very favourably with the best I've eaten in Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan or elsewhere. Don't miss this treat. A simple café, very moderately priced, but which packs a real punch in food quality and friendliness.

    Best falafel in London. Whenever we are around Shepherd's Bush, this is the only shop we go to when hungry. Very tasty and good quality food, the staff is also very nice and courteous.

  • 3/5 Ron K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there because of the great reviews. Falafel is reasonably good, but by far not the greatest I ever had. Chips were mediocre and factory made.

  • 5/5 Istebreq A. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t even know from where to start. It is Ramadan and I just broke my fast with Mr Falafels deluxe wrap. Everyone who fasts know that you become so lazy after breaking your fast but this wrap is so good that even after iftar with little energy I just had to write a review. I have tried so many falafel wraps in London but none come as close to this one. I have ordered Falafel from here numerous times and with each bite i go mmm mmm soooo gooood. Do not hesitate if you want a piece of heaven. The wrap is sooo filled and the sauces and spices all of that you cant go wrong with. Many thanks and blessings to Mr Falafel.

    I recently met someone who told me about a simple little café in Shepherd's Bush Market, called Mr Falafel. It's an AMAZING place, they said - small and unassuming, but offering some of the best falafel wraps in the whole of London (and possibly the world). You might wonder, as I did, just how amazing can a falafel wrap really be? Well, after weeks of anticipation, my newfound falafel-fan friend and I had the chance to put these bold claims to the test. Not wanting to dabble in half-measures, I ordered a king-size Deluxe - the size of which exceeded even my wildest falafel fantasies. And let me tell you, Mr Falafel lived up to the hype and more. Words alone are not enough to convey the combined taste sensation of fresh, crisp falafel, succulent florets of charred cauliflower, spicy potato chunks, crunchy salad, and a generous drizzle of creamy tahini, all in a warm wrap. I am a fully converted Mr Falafel fanatic, and I will definitely be back again soon! 🙌 🧆
