The best falafel - Edit
This is the best falafel I have ever tried in my life. When we went there on a Sunday there was a line of about 8 people. We didn't feel like waiting so we went elsewhere but at end we couldn't resist and we came back to try what everyone else is queuing for and we were glad we did. The falafel was tender, very flavorful and fresh. It could be a bit cheaper but compared to the other falafel places in Athens, I think the price is worth it.
Pros: delicious
Cons: expensive

Original Falafel in Athens - Edit
This is the first falafel shop in Athens and with a super tasty falafel it is no wonder it is thriving.
The falafel is big and full of veggies... most notably eggplant chunks. And while I am not a big fan of eggplant, it did not ruin my experience... though it also didn't help it.
I also asked for hummus on my falafel in place of yogurt, though the employees simply told me they use tahini and did not give me hummus on my falafel. Disappointing.
However, the falafel was big and filling and even tasty, though obvious improvements could be made.
Still a great place if you're in a pinch.
Pros: Large portions, Cheap prices, Central location
Cons: Not very accommodating to customer requests, Large, chunky vegetable pieces in falafel, Not very accommodating to customer requests

Over rated :/ - Edit
We had a nice but not exceptional falafel there. We liked the vegetables next to the falafel but the falafel itself was pretty dry.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: The falafel was a bit dry...

Good Falafel!! - Edit
So close to Monasteriaki square in a nice street. The guys where cool and the fallafel excelent. Price is affordable and really fits with the quantity.
best falafel in the city - Edit
i have to admit i didn't even like falafel, before i tried that one. It actually became my lunch for many days per week, during i was working close to that street, for almost a year. Great food, great people, great place.
Congratulations!

Loved it! - Edit
i had selected a few vegetarian restaurants in Athens, before my trip. This was one of them. I did not have to look up the address - as I was walking by I saw this long line of people waiting for their turn to order. And I had a huge falafel, very tasty and fresh. It is a just a counter right on the street, where you place your order. There are some benches on the street where you can seat down to eat. I recommend this place. As I remenber, I paid 3.80 euros for a huge falafel (January 2016).
Pros: tasty, fresh, delicious, cheap
Cons: no tables

Very good street food - Edit
It's a small take away falafel/meat shop, in the city centre, with polite staff, cheap and very tasty food. There is always a long queue of people waiting to be served but it's worth it.

SOO good!! - Edit
We found Falafellas around lunch time and it was super busy, which we knew was a good sign. My partner and I ordered a large pita to share and I have to say it is THE best falafel I have ever had! It was so delicious, there were roasted vegetables inside, salad, with a little paprika sprinkled on the top, just the right combination of flavours to make it SO yummy! If we had stayed for longer in Athens, we would have been back for sure.
Pros: Delicious, Friendly staff
Cons: Not too much space to sit and eat.
