This was probably one of the best falafel pittas I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot.

Genuinely Tasty - Edit
Really genuine, tasty food. The vegan shawarma with their homemade seitan is delicious, as are the falafel options and laffa wraps. Friendly staff in this family run business. There’s also a nice outside terrace for sunnier days!

Tastiest food in Bristol - Edit
Falafal King was a super surprise addition to our trip to Bristol. Charming little restaurant tucked away from the main street.
Read morePortion sizes were great and the prices seemed very reasonable. Everything tasted amazing, and the service was politle and speedy.
Only down side was kitchen was closed for main meals. Website says it closes at 21:15, but it was shut at least two hours earlier than that on our visit, which reduced the menu options quite a bit.
Pros: Loads of options , Great value, Wonderfully tasty
Cons: Kitchen hours not as advertised

Nice interior - Edit
The inside of the restaurant is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The falafel is really tasty and both the pittas or salads are a great vegan option

Delicious vegan friendly menu and lovely place to sit - Edit
Downstairs at Falafel King is decorated so nicely with lamps and colourful cushions- it’s a lovely place to sit. The menu is quite extensive compared to other ‘falafel’ places and includes a vegan Schwarma made from seitan which is delicious. Also highly recommend the laffa chips - strips of toasted laffa bread which are very tasty.

Great falafel, great salads, awesome breads and now vegan shawarma! One of the few places in Bristol that has a great seitan offering. Been going for years and hopefully for years to come

Friendly staff and lovely, decently priced food - Edit
There was a period of time I dog sat really often near Clifton Downs and I came here wayyyy too often, if that is possible. It's a wonderful place, though I always do takeouts. Tried their sabich (aubergines and egg - though I'd think if you are vegan you can ask for without the egg) pita and of course, their falafels. Their falafels are soooooooo goood! Possibly one of my favourites, alongside that of Eat a Pitta's x Can't choose which one I like better!
Read moreTheir sauces are always really good as well, and their salads are lovely. The staff there are always soooo friendly and I can't stress enough how great this place is!
Pros: Decent prices, Great falafels, Friendly staff

Great Food at Falafel King Bristol - Edit
I visited Bristol for the first time to give a guest lecture at the University. After the event everyone involved recommended Falafel King and they were right. The atmosphere was laid back and the food was delicious. The bean soup was particularly tasty and they made up a box for me for my return trip to Manchester.

Lovely place - Edit
Downstairs is a middle eastern style seating area which, if it isn't booked for events, is a lovely setting to enjoy your meal.
Read moreEven if this is busy, the upstairs seating is very friendly and take-away is easy. The falafel is renowned Bristol-wide which is saying something! The falafel portion sizes are huge and a struggle to finish, really good value.
The only downside is the salad choices are limited but this is more than made up for by the venue, staff and falafel quality! The falafel is easily made vegan by not adding tzatziki. There are lots of other middle eastern menu options - entirely vegetarian with some vegan.
The business owners and staff are just really nice people - always so friendly, sourcing everything locally and making sure all ingredients taste really fresh. I've been coming here for 3 years and I still love it. Definitely one for the Bristol eatery bucket list.
Oh and rice stuffed vine leaves are only 25p and so so good!
Pros: Beautiful seating area, Good atmosphere, Good value
Cons: Not many salad options

Great, inexpensive food to go! - Edit
This is a great little van near the theatre and river in Bristol. They serve tasty falafels stuffed in a pitta bread with salad and sauce. It's really inexpensive. Ideal for students. It's been my teenage son's favourite stop off in Bristol for ages. Well worth it if you like a falafel lunch without spending too much money. They are happy to let you know what is vegan.
Read morePros: Inexpensive, Excellent value, Great vegan options

Great snack-stop - Edit
The £4.50 falafel in laffa was actually far more substantial than a snack. There were at least 10 pieces of fresh falafel in a large flat bread, delicious houmous, salad and tahini. The lady was really friendly in explaining that all barr the garlic mayo was dairy free (there's also an aubergine dish with boiled egg but there'd be no issue in foregoing the egg). This would fulfil even any meat-eaters kebab craving.
Read morePros: Good value, Very simple menu
Cons: A little tricky to eat "on the go"!
