great falafel

the falafel was tasty, the salad bar very varied, and for 4 euros very good value. i recommend it.nice that they don't serve any meat.the mayonnaise is not vegetarian, it has eggs in it, so be aware, a few toppings are mixed with mayonnaise, so ask before to be sure.

Pros: tasty, fresh, cheap

Cons: mayonnaise

Really affordable

You can eat yourself full for 5euros. The atmosphere is a little off but the food is top notch

No-frills deliciousness

One thing: falafel in pita with a salad. Vegan but for a couple of salad things.

Proper falafels

This place has so many good reviews, and to be honest it's a bit difficult to understand. The positives are that the falafel itself is really good and proper, and that you get wholewheat bread. However, I don't wanna buy and grab my own stuff when I go to a place. I pay for someone having thought througg what composes a good meal, but I also get that people like picking and choosing. The things you can choose are alright, but nothing special. The place is not very welcoming, so I recommend doing take away.

Are all of these other reviews fake?

I mean the falafel was edible - far from being the “best falafel ever” as people are claiming - but the place was also not really a cool environment to be in. Not sure if I’m missing anything here but yeah…

it's a bit of an institution for veggie folk in Brux.

Easily the best falafel we've ever had

Delicious, hot and fresh falafel with tons of options for toppings! Must go for Vegans/vegetarians in Brussels!

Pros: No menu, just great falafel

Great falafel and salad

This is a very traditional/authentic place. Don’t expect luxury - there is no menu and no price list just falafel. The man will give you a little box and you can fill with salad which was great and then you can add salad to the falafel in pita. Really cool cheap place

Best falafel i have eaten

Really fast service and verry friendly man!
You can choose your own toppings and just ask what isnt vegan, there are only 3 things out of the more than 20 toppings not vegan... Falafes were super delicious and even too cheap!

Pros: Suuuper delicious, Cheap, Almost everything is vegan

Cons: You cant stop after 1 falafel , Nothing, Nothing

He's the best

Mr. Falafel might be the best restaurant in Brussels. Understated, kind of a hole in the wall, but with the best falafel salad selection around and the friendliest owner who makes you smile no matter if you speak the same language or not. When I went there the deal was you could go back for seconds of salad if you wanted to. Not sure if that's still the case, but if it is, Mr. Falafel still rocks.

Cheap and cheerful

It's a very cheap cheerful falafel. It has a cafe/canteen style seating and the bread is standard small circular brown pita bread with nice enough falafel balls. You get that with a separate box where you can choose from a wide variety of salad fillers and saucers.

It's one of the cheapest meals I had in Brussels so it's very good value. However, the falafel itself, despite the the wide variety of the salad bar, is still standard kebab style fare and not very special.

Pros: good value for money, lots of variety in the fillers

Cons: canteen style seating, could use some tabouli

Yummy falafels !

If you want to grab a quick meal in the city centre, you should go there. It's a fuss free place, really affordable with only one option: one pita bread filled with tasty homemade falafels and a make-your-own salad buffet. If you're vegan you have to ask the staff which preparation is vegan or not, same for the sauces. They knew what 'vegan' meant when I went so that's always a plus. It's a snack type of place, it's not very cosy but the taste and the price (5€) offsets it. I want more places like this.

Pros: tasty, cheap & fast, friendly staff

Cons: not cosy, ingredients not listed

Simply delicious.

My partner and I were looking for a quick filling evening meal. We were not disappointed. He makes the falafel when you order so it's fresh out of the fryer. The falafel is really soft and moist, not dry like you find in a supermarket. Also, the guy who owns the place is lovely!

Pros: Good, filling and delicious food.

Bon falafel maison mais le lieu

Cet endroit est réputé pour ses falafels maison. Le restaurant en lui-même est situé un peu loin du centre, un peu craignos avec une drôle d'odeur mais pourtant les falafels sont très bons, le personnel sympathique... mieux vaut peut-être commander à emporter et les manger dans un endroit plus mignon!

Pour un petit prix (actuellement 5€) vous aurez un falafel maison dans son pain pita complet + sauce et accès à un salad bar aux préparations assez savoureuses (pour le prix) mais plutôt basiques et pas forcément issues de produits frais (maïs en conserve, etc.) à constituer au choix dans une barquette (ce qui change des restaurants de falafels habituels). Certaines préparations sont vraiment bonnes!

Le résultat en fait quand même un super rapport qualité/prix.

Dommage qu'il ne soit indiqué nulle part les ingrédients de chaque préparation, des falafels et la graisse utilisée car cela permettrait aux végétaliens d'y avoir accès.

Pros: Rapport qualité prix, Falafels vraiment bons, Salad bar

Cons: Un peu excentré, "sur place" un peu désuet, pas de liste des ingrédients utilisés

Best falafel

This place has the best falafel. it is fresh and has chickpeas as well as broad beans which makes it very light and tasty. you can take as much salad and sauces as you want and everything is amazing. And amazingly cheap! I would really recommend this place!

Pros: delicious, fresh, lots of salad and sauce

Cons: not many places to eat inside

Nice

Only cash! This place’s amazing! Vegan friendly, just skip the yoghurt. The falafel is served in a pita and you fill it up yourself with salad etc. Small place with just a few seats.

Cons: Cash only
