Mr Falafel

Restaurant

👍👍 Great falafel! If you pass by it’s not a super fancy restaurant that you would think makes such great food. I’m glad I actually tried it not only for the great food but also for the friendly owner and the conversation I had with him. Definitely worth the visit! People often mention falafel, salad, good, price, fresh, salads, owner, nice, tasty, delicious,

    This restaurant looks rather not appealing but the dish is exquisite and the price generous for its value. I would suggest a change of look for the facade to reflect more the quality of the food served.

    What I love about this place is that the menu is just one item, fresh falafel, with the salad and dressing of your choosing. You pay 7 euros for a good tastu fresh meal. And the best part is that it is vegetarian, so this satisfy an entire group who wants to eat out. Chef is polite and can make good foo

    Dine in and Take away options. Great selection of salads and the best part is the fresh falafel 🧆, delicious and healthy. I would say they are one of the best ones out there and at a very reasonable price.😍☺️👌💯👍.

    No frills, no nonsense, just falafel. You go in, get a bowl of salad, get a falafel pita, add more salad, add chilli sauce, get an ayran (if you want), and start eating - an authentic street food experience. But bring cash because they don't take Visa or Mastercard.

    Easy and quick in the center of Brussels, next to the new greeny Fontainas area. One menu, several choices of salad. Fantastically nice owner and the best falafel I ever ate!

    Mama mia! This place has the best falafel 🧆 in the town. A tasteful experience from Egypt to the heart of Brussels. p.s: Their 2nd shop is at Galerie Ravenstein.

    Nice little place with delicious falafel in a warm pitta. You get a portion of salad on the side and everything for a very reasonable price. They also have ayran as a drink. Ideal place for vegetarian and vegans.

  • 5/5 Adrian L. 6 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Amazing falafels!! Such a generous portion. Each pita bread you get 4 falafels and unlimited salad. Perfect for such a cheap feed. $7 euros for dinner. Can’t get any better.

    I'm taken by surprise about this falafel restaurant 😋 It is an authentic falafel shop. You will be given a free plat to choose your salad with whatever you purchase 😉 Highly recommended 👌

  • 5/5 beiroz007 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Amazing place: chef's super friendly, food is fresh, freshly made falafel + unlimited salad for an unconventional price of 7 EUR and often good vibes in the place. It looks dodgy from the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover :-)

  • 5/5 abdes i. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Don't be afraid by the "minimalitic" ambience of the place...most important is what you get to eat. Vege menu is simple : a lot of different type of salad and vegetables you can compose. Everything is fresh and home made. The Falafel are cooked "live" when you order. I love it...price quality is great

    This guy is so nice and his falafel is amazing. Really tasty, crispy falafel and fresh salad and sauces. Hidden gem.

  • 3/5 Knut Øye B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has so many good reviews, and to be honest it's a bit difficult to understand. The positives are that the falafel itself is really good and proper, and that you get wholewheat bread. However, I don't wanna buy and grab my own stuff when I go to a place. I pay for someone having thought througg what composes a good meal, but I also get that people like picking and choosing. The things you can choose are alright, but nothing special. The place is not very welcoming, so I recommend doing take away.

  • 5/5 Olivia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast and fresh! Falafel made upon order, and you get to choose your fixings at the bar located in the back. Easy 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Lalos S. 1 year ago on Google
    Have you ever been to a place and said "omg what awful place is this?" that's one of these places BUT... the taste of the falafel was exquisite. It was the best falafel I've ever tasted ever. The communication with the man working there was terrible and there were no English signs.

  • 5/5 Aliona B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty falafel with salads you can choose by your own

    The food is amazing. Fresh fied falafel with a nice collection of salads. Unique restaurant that is worth visiting, weekly 😀 👌 😍

  • 5/5 loic s. 1 year ago on Google
    Are you hungry? Just go there. Mr Falafel is a vegetarian (but it's musty vegan) restaurant and it definitely serves it's name. Its' falafel sandwiches are amazing and the salads are awesome. Though the ambiance might seem a bit rough, I highly recommend this option!

    Best falafel I ever had, really crispy & delicious salad bar

  • 5/5 Leslie F. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow! So simple and soooo good! The falafels are crispy and not dry and there are so many “salad” options. Plus, the price is great! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jacopo M. 7 months ago on Google
    Don't my mislead by false impressions. The service is very kind and fast and the falafel and salads are homemade and excellent. Price is very good for the portions. Best falafel in Brussels

  • 1/5 André M. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    This is a build your own pita falafel, where you're served a little container on the side where you can load your salad, while you wait for the oily falafels in the dry and crumbliest pita bread. Some assembly required.

  • 5/5 Baba O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great quality for a tiny price. Your place to go if you are vegan or like to eat healthy. The Egyptian owner is so adorable 💖

  • 5/5 Olivia M. 2 years ago on Google

    Excellent price:quality ratio and very tasty. If you buy falafel you can serve yourself the salad mix from the selection. Very nice and fresh tasting 😊

  • 5/5 Kaitlin H. 4 years ago on Google
    Really little but amazing falafel place - you fill your own tub with as much salad as you want, loads of varieties, and then you pick the sauce you want on your falafel and pitta, and you put it on yourself so there's a lot of flexibility. The man that server is was lovely and very reasonably priced

  • 5/5 Ali Z. 2 years ago on Google

    Be-au-ti-ful! One of the best! Owner Super kind. Suuuper tasty. You will enjoy it even if you are not a vegetarian.

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 1 year ago on Google
    A very simple concept but delicious. Self serve your salad choices, and self a sauce for your 4 crispy falafel wrapped in a crispy pitta. All for €7

  • 5/5 Jean-François E. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best falafel I ever eaten, very easy to get your food : walking in, go to the salad bar fill in your ration and then you get called for hot delicious falafel. You can pay per card or by cash.

  • 5/5 Hanna H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very fresh falafel, free salad bar and good prices. would definitely go again!

  • 1/5 Jim F. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been planning and looking forward to our visit to Mr Falafel for a couple of weeks. We went to the Brussels Central Station location at 1615 on a Sunday and it was closed. What the??? The website shows it open on Sunday. We walked to the Rue de Bogard location, hoping that there was just something amiss with the Central Station location. Nope. It was closed, too. Disappointed… If you aren’t open, update your online info.

  • 5/5 Martina P. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner is very nice. It's self service, with lots of salads and sauces. The falafel is the best i've tried. It has reasonable prices. 10/10
