One of the better/best falafel places in Antwerp. Next to falafel in pita, there is a wide choice of hummus platters too. Super friendly staff.

Great falafel - Edit
It's a pleasure to see how they make the falafel. The pita breads are heated under old irons, and that makes that these breads are fluffy on the inside and hard on the outside. And that makes it incredible to eat. The falafel is great and has a very nice cumin taste.

great falafel - Edit
the tahin is of great quality, falafel balls themselves are great, and the bread is fluffy w a bit of crisp to the exterior. Not a huge fan of the salad compared to other Israeli falafels that I’ve had but it doesn’t detract from the falafel eating experience.

Best falafel in town? - Edit
They call themselves the best falafel in town, I’ve been there a couple of times and their falafel hummus is really tasty but tbh I had a better one in another place.
Read moreThey should also mark, at least in their menu, what is vegan and what vegetarian.

Best falafel ever! - Edit
We used to live 3 streets away from this place & went there almost every week or we ordered. The falafel is excellent! And the bread! & the sauces (make sure you ask for all vegan, because they also have non-vegan garlic sauce, the rest is vegan!)

quick veg fast food - Edit
Had nice curry veg soup, humus falafel plate efficient service. Great fresh chutneys on table. Eggless chocolate cake. Not much ambiance but it is fast food type of place that can seat about 30 persons. Family style. Good neighborhood veg eats.

Awesome restaurant! - Edit
I visited it along with some buddy of mine.
Read moreWe were happy to find a vegetarian restaurant in my area. :)
It is quite modern, comfortable and great for someone who is always afraid of those typical restaurants where they have no idea what a vegetarian/vegan is. That's because they are actually always friendly and never look at you as if you're an alien from outer space when you ask if they put in milk/eggs in the food. :)
The owner (Beni) also came out and talked for a while, which barely any owner of any restaurant ever does, so that was just awesome of him! :)
Don't worry about the 'white' sauce on top of your falafel sandwich! That is actually tahini (sesame seed sauce) that looks a lot like some kind of yoghurt dressing. I am EXTREMELY lactose intolerant and still ate a sandwich with that sauce and had no stomach pain whatsoever, so it's completely dairy-free. :)
Pros: Friendly staff/comfortable feeling, Delicious food, Not expensive

The perfect Falafel - Edit
Has the perfect Falafel in my opinion. Run by Jewish people as long as it has existed (+25 years?) - pop by when you're in Antwerp for a fast snack or a nice meal.

Simple and Tasty - Edit
This is a great place for tasty, affordable vegetarian food. The falafel pitas in particular are a favourite- everything is made fresh to order, and comes with a great selection of spicy sauces. Plenty of vegan options, and the owner is really friendly. Not the place to go for "ambiance" but fantastic for lunch or an early dinner.
Read morePros: Affordable, Vegan Options

Perfect falafel - Edit
That's just great home made falafel with hummus there!
Read moreFriendly staff and quick service.
Couldn't be called cozy or something, but for what it is that's not so important.
They offer four different sauces with their falafels, all really yummy.
Though they have no idea what vegan is, so you have to explain of follow your intuition on it. I believe the sauces are vegan aside from the white garlic one.
The prices are reasonable but considering the quite small portions it could be cheaper. OR bigger portions, that would be even greater.
Pros: great food
Cons: not very clear for vegan

Falafel rocks! - Edit
It's a good place, few vegan selection and falafel has a traditionnal taste to it. They might do their bread themselves.

Great falafel place - Edit
A classic on the Antwerp-scene: at lunch time during the week it can be invaded by school children, in teh evening a mix of Indians, religious Jews and hippies:).
Read moreThe falafel is excellent, that's what you mainly come here for. They also have things like burekas, but my guess is that eggs used for that would not be cage-free.
Pros: Good falafel

Beni Falafel, Antwerp - Edit
A while since I was in this place in a Jewish quarter (accessible by tram from the city centre) in Antwerp but I remember it well. Staff were helpful in trying to get me something vegan as there isn't the biggest amount of vegan options immediately on the menu. Beni himself is a fun guy. There seemed to be people coming and going all the time, a bit of energy in the place. Huge bowls of soup I seem to remember also.
Read moreA good spot.
Pros: Nice food, Good atmosphere
