Friendly, cozy & super tasty

I really have to recommend this place since we stayed in Kiev for about 3 or 4 days but finally kept coming back and back again to this lovely cozy bistro with friendly staff and wide choice of vegan kinda healthy fast food.

Wraps, pitas, burgers, very tasty potatoes. They also have some desserts, unfortunately these I cannot recommend, not very sweet and taste not as expected.

Portions are decent and food doesn't feel to be heavy even thought it's fast food, I really appreciate that. Prices are a bit high for Kiev I think, but still it is affordable and definitely the value you get for that price is worth it :).

Pros: completely vegan, many options, not heavy, cozy place & friendly staff

Cons: a bit expensive for Kiev

Really bad "falafel"

I tried falafel in pita, shawarma and samosa. I barely could call it falafel - the pattiy itself made of lentils. Other filling is cabbage, tomato, carrot, pickled olives (!), and kind of vinaigratte souce. I don't thing, that the recepie developer tried even once the real falafel.
Shawarma is filled with seitan and same mix as falafel, that makes it same taste of pickled olives and vinaigrette souce and not shawarma. Samosa was very dry and tasteless.

It got even better!

I've been there countless times and the food is delicious (vegburger and pepperoni pizza are my favorite), now they also stopped using plastic! Very nice place, also a really friendly owner (or a chef?)

Plastic bowls and spoons

Good place to stop by for a lunch. Three business lunch options to choose from. The frustrating part is that soup is served in styrofoam bowls with plastic spoons.

Cons: Plastic bowls and spoons

I like it. Falafel is nice, pizza vegan is awesome!

I’ve been visiting this place for a while: falafel and pizza are great here. The only thing that I would improve would be - improve interior)

one of the worst falafel experiences

Massively underwhelming experience here. Falafel left a foul taste in my mouth after eating it. Only reason i ate it is because i hadn't eaten all day and every other vegan place was closed and it's a crime to throw away food.

The falafel itself? Can't say anything about how it tasted as it was pretty much only cabbage with waaay too much chili sauce of the cheapest kind. None of their sauces are homemade. It was sweet and chemical tasting.
I ordered a falafel with pickled beetroot which just wasn't present. When i asked where it is the girl who prepared it said they didn't update the menu and so she just decided for me that more cabbage instead would be a fine idea... there were many bites of just sauce, boring chinese cabbage and horrible cheap sauce.

Besides all that this place is vegan but they clearly don't care whatsoever for sustainability. Plastic cutlery, styrofoam bowls, plastic wrappers and sheets...all one-time use and too much of it. Had to kindly give back the 5 paper tissues that came with the order.

Would gladly give 1 star. I've tried many falafels in my life and this has got to be the single most disappointing one of all... by far. I actually had to get some nuts i had in my backpack afterwards to wash away the persistent chemical taste of the sauce.

Don't go here.

Pros: none

Cons: expensive for the quality you get no sustainabilit

Excellent

Everything is delicious, very flavorful and filling. They bake their falafel, so it’s even healthier! The prices are low for the quality and taste of food you get. 65 uah for falafel and 50 for the salad. Totally satisfied with everything in this place. Also the well informed staff was a nice bonus. 100% recommend.

Pros: All vegan menu, Delicious food, Well informed staff

Cheap falafel

This place is much nicer to visit than Green 13 Cafe. They have seatings for enough people, a menu with different falafel dishes.

Staff is also very friendly.

Pros: Nice trendy falafel place with great music playing, cheap but fresh and tasty falafels, friendly staff

Cons: maybe a little bit too much cabbage, could be more different lettuce

okay.

Staff is friendly/ place is clean and welcoming but given the competition of amazing falafel inside bessarabsky market i would pass on this place. Small portion, rather dry falafel.

I recommend that!

I was there two times and I ate super tasty dishes.
First I ordered falafel with mayo and next day I ordered falafel, soup and dessert set, and my gf ordered falafel, roasted potatoes and drink. Everything was fresh and tasty. The most important thing is that everything there is vegan.
We wish to have such wonderfull place in our city in Poland.
Crew is fluent in English so it's easy to order!

Pros: cheap, fresh, vegan

Almost good

Yes, their cuisine is pretty good. But next time I'll think twice before paying 59 UAH for a tiny falafel like that.

Pros: Good taste

Cons: It's definitely not the $, Poor interior
