    OMG!❤️❤️❤️The food here is absolutely divine! There are not enough stars to review this place. This is the closest a to Middle Eastern/culinary orgasm you will get. The hummus was poetic, babaganush and falafel outstanding and the salad!! Usually I don’t touch salads in Middle Eastern places, but this is something different, the dressing, the combination of vegetable, what a taste! The entire mezzo platter was absolutely delicious! Everything tastes super fresh. I though this was going to be another forgettable falafel place, but ended in being the best meal I had in the UK in the last 2 years. Middle Eastern food is my favourite cuisine and I have tried in all over the world, I’m picky and rarely ecstatic about specific dish, but I loved every bite of this meal. I will be back to Bristol just to have it again! Newspapers should write about this little gem, people should be flocking because this place is absolutely amazing!!! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏

    5 stars are not enough!!! I've never eaten such a good falafel! And then .... but how big is it? We were suggested to have a mint tea which I found paired perfectly with my falafel. The cook is an exquisite person as well as the very nice girl who took the order. There are tables where you can appreciate this fabulous food in peace and the discreet but very sweet presence of the "sleeping manager" made my experience unforgettable. TOP in all respects!!

    This secret gem I found while walking door. I know it’s well known in the city but it still seems intimate and Dale who shares cooking duty with other top guys. Enough talk! It has to be best value lunch deal in the area and it’s filled with falafels and there is a technique to eating it to avoid jus spillage (you want the juice) of some great flavours and textures. I don’t often write reviews as I’m lazy but this food is simple but bursting with taste. I’ll be back tomorrow

    Epic. Probably the best hummus ever eaten. All rather fine. Tiny, very 'rustic', utterly genuine place. Such lovely people. Rudy the small grumpy dog is the manager. Fabulous.

    Aaah meal for the soul. Us human beings need good company and fresh healthful food and some added sunshine. The Baba Ganoush Kitchen delivered on a cold winter to Spring day. We ordered wraps and fresh juice. We were offered delicious complimentary falafel while waiting and finished off the meal with incredible fresh vegan baklava. Tick tick tick. Such a wonderful find with the chef being a fellow car enthusiast. Everything about this little gem of a discovery put a huge smile on our face, even down to the thoughtful wrapping and unwrapping of the jam packed, fresh food wraps. Yum yum yum. Highly recommended, especially if you are headed out of Bristol after navigating the crazy roads and traffic. Thank you for giving us a delicious fresh boost of tasty nutrient and super fresh food. We loved it. Please do support this lovely local gem of a restaurant /take away. Thanks for the lovely chat too.

    The reviews are good here for a reason!!! I stopped off for a bite to eat here on my way home on Friday evening, not long before they stopped serving at 7.30pm, and closed at 8pm. It was the MOST delicious plate of food - properly fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed full of flavour; and there was plenty of it! The houmous was sublime, and the fresh juice was so refreshing!! The portion sizes are also incredibly generous, and the people that run Jerusalem falafel are some of the nicest I’ve encountered. They really care about what they do, and the environment they create. Great work team - what you’ve built here is incredible; I can’t wait for my next meal!

    Just a gorgeous place, with incredible food and family run vibes. The whole establishment is managed by a small dog, who is just charming. It's got heart and soul, much lacking in most chain restaurants... Will definitely be back! X

    Best falafel and baba ganoush I've had! Falafel was so damn crispy and moist. Not dry like most places. Highly recommended. I also had the cardamon tea which was top notch. Prices are extremely fair, you get alot for what you pay for. Staff are kind and welcoming. Communal vibes here.

    A rather cool and relaxed place in St Paul. Quiet atmosphere and shabby furnishing make this place quite unique in the area. Everything you see in the picture was tasty and well prepared, a shame I couldn't eat more due to the size! Please try their baba ganush, it is mouthwatering.

    If i could eat there every lunch i would! Fresh and delicious as always and such food value for money! Team are so friendly and welcoming It’s always such a joy. Want to try more on the menu!! 😍

  • 5/5 Bill K. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food and value once again. Whenever I’m in this part of town I always make sure to drive the work van round to grab a wrap. On this occasion I tried the mixed veg wrap - delicious with all components properly pickled/marinated and with developed flavour. Even chucked in a few of their desserts in the hope that I’d have something sweet for after the wrap - didn’t even make the drive home without scoffing them. Once again, Baba Ganoush has salvaged my Monday and is great value for money. Every wrap lover in Bristol must visit.

    What an amazing quirky place , service was perfect and friendly food although not a vegetarian or vegan was fantastic and all washed down with a wonderful mint tea . Great place to eat / visit while charging the EV Doreen the road .

  • 5/5 Calum D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent falafel. It was just the right about of crispiness and the mix of flavours was amazing. I also tried the haloumi which was cooked to perfection (a lot of the time it is a wet sloppy mess or burnt to a crisp). It was very reasonably priced and the service was really sweet and efficient. The juice was also amazing. I will definitely return next time I return to Bristol.

  • 5/5 Lucy R. 6 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful place to eat falafel! The staff made me feel sooo welcome and I can confirm the falafel were the best I've ever eaten! Plus I love the artwork on the outside, funky and friendly. This is a must for anyone who comes to or lives in Bristol !!!

  • 5/5 Kriss C. 3 years ago on Google
    Best veggie wrap I’ve had! Went here a couple of times, got mixed veg & halloumi wrap and couldn’t be happier!! It’s filled with goodness, freshness and amazing quality! A lovely bonus is super friendly staff & Rudy the dog! Recommend it 100%!! 🥬🍅🫔🫑🥕🌿

    This place is great. Big portions, low prices and friendly service. I work around the corner and it's the best option for lunch in the area. Can't recommend it enough.

  • 5/5 Sander van den B. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderfully friendly staff anddelicious food, what else do you need? 😄

  • 5/5 Alexandra O. 1 year ago on Google
    This place definitely lives up to the expectations set by all the five star reviews. The food is AMAZING, best falafels I've had in the UK. And I'm not a huge fan of Baba ganoush, but according to my other half, it is the best he has ever eaten. Portions are quite big and prices cheap. Service is excellent. Check on Facebook for opening times before making your way over.

  • 5/5 Philip W. 1 year ago on Google
    This extraordinary little restaurant is a gem. Its Mediterranean/Middle Eastern style dishes are delicious and all prepared on the spot. Service is quick and friendly and prices are reasonable. There is not much room to eat inside, and it's pretty cold, so takeaways may be more in order, but there is lots of outdoor seating for warmer days. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Judith W. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding falafels, salads and staff! We had the Vegan Jerusalem which was out of this world: everything went super well together, potatoes were crispy and comforting, salad had lots of flavour, baba ganoush incredibly tasty with fresh mint and the falafel were crispy, warm and perfectly cooked. The team were the kindest people and we were given falafel and hummus on the house. Highly recommended to visit for a refreshing taste of Jerusalem!

  • 5/5 Brian D. 1 year ago on Google
    Really delicious food…healthy, fresh and at reasonable prices. The staff were also very friendly. I will definitely be returning (and telling all my friends to come here) 😊

  • 3/5 Ultegra M. 1 year ago on Google
    Glad we managed to get here as opening times have recently updated from quite short ones (12-3). Nice atmosphere. Everyone happy to be there and lots of vegan and environmental activism all around the entrance which was great to see and we would like to support. Voi parking space outside the door if you so need. We were welcomed with a smile and all staff were friendly including the pup. Most of the salad and wrap components were quite heavily pickled / sour and lots of vinegar. Baba ganoush was decent and stuffed vine leaves were nice warm , which we don’t usually get. Falafel balls were quite dry and didn’t taste as good as we would have hoped! Decent prices for the volume of food (one mezze and one wrap were enough for two of us) but nothing really popped out at us besides the orange mango juice.

  • 5/5 Helen L. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is the best! The staff are so lovely and welcoming (especially the little dog - best "manager" ever!). I like to get the mixed veg wrap because the combination of flavours and textures is incredible - salty and tangy with fresh mint - perfect if you want something fresh that is also filling. The chef even gave me some baba ganoush for free because he recommended the combination of flavours so much. The portions are really generous too and a lot more affordable than other places in Bristol. The perfect place to stop for food if you want somewhere with a welcoming family-run atmosphere & delicious food! Thank you :)

    Best falafel ever! I also had one of the best vegan ice creams of my life.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth B. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here for a birthday meal - a group of 12 people and one dog. We were served the most amazing feast of a variety of dishes - all truly delicious. The service was so friendly and they were even so kind as to stay open late as some of us from out of town could not get there earlier. I would very much recommend and will definitely go back if ever I am in Bristol again. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Anna L. 2 years ago on Google
    Always such a treat to come here, really welcoming, excellent food and incredible value. Especially today when our meal was complimentary because they were just closing and had a catering job to get to. Even had a couple of juicy oranges thrown in for the kids! A real joy and a real gem. Thank you!
