Falafel

typical middle-eastern veg food. good moist falafel, Bosnian somun bread, better than pita. small but we haven't had trouble getting a seat. great location in bascarsia, off the main pedestrian tourist street in old Town.

Falafel is a great little eatery off the main pedestrian street, Bascarsija. It is intimate and inviting. We have been there summer and winter and have always had good luck with all of the dishes. They are well-flavored and you get a lot for the money. Our international friends also have enjoyed the food.

Not a bad place to eat, but nothing memorable either. I had hummus with pita and tabouleh and it tasted nice, just as you would expect. The interior design is absolutely unbelievable. It is one of the very few places where you can get normal vegan food, so worth a visit if you are staying in Sarajevo.

The falafel is nice and they also serve good lemonade

I am very happy I found this place by coincidence. We were walking the streets of the old town and saw the restaurant and even though it was past their working time the owner (I guess) was very lovely and I was able to get food. So I went again a few days later with a friend who is a convinced meat eater and she fell in love with falafel (thats a win I guess).

This place was our life saviour in Sarajevo as a vegan and vegetarian couple. Luckly we went there with a local friend and we didn't get lost. Falafel was OK but not so tasty (a bit dry and overcooked) hummus was delicious! I had the plate option and a eggplant salad to share that we really loved. Everything served promptly so my boyfriend and me went back the next day for lunch as well :)

Fresh and quality food served promptly with a smile. Maybe a lack of options as almost everything contains falafel, though the clue is in the title I suppose.

Take away possible.

A small place downstairs, few tables outside and more upstairs (great with our 2 years old child). Falafel were OK but not so tasty (a bit dry and overcooked) and it smell unfortunatly too the frying ! But the humus with pines nuts was excellent ! Cheap and a good alternative for vegetarians.
Good for a quick snack.

I had the small plate with salad and fries that come with the falafel and had a Sprite on the side which came to 10,00 Euro. There is little seating down stairs but more to seat up stairs.

The location is in the heart of the old town district and down an ally way so you might miss it if you don't have GPS.

Ordered the (small) falafel sandwich as it was 3km, about £1.25. Expected a slice of bread with a bit of falafel. Instead I got a MASSIVE bap, filled with Moroccan/Med delights. Lots of talking, interested in veganism, so altogether a great eatery... Went back in the morning for breakfast as well!

This place was our life saviour in Sarajevo as a vegan. They serve excellent falafel and the hummus was incredible. Also a healthy alternative! Highly recommend to anyone, vegan or not!
