Very good! - Edit
Generous portion, high quality ingredients, I really enjoyed my dinner.
Read moreMaybe slight overpriced considering that there is no table service (you order and pick up the food at the counter and clean the table)
At the beginning it was not clear to me what was vegan or not, once you ask they are happy to help and turns out almost everything is vegan

Hey RobertaCalce,
Read moreThank you for your nice review of our Middle Eastern restaurant, we're happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed your dinner at Pois Chiche! 🤩
We’re particularly proud that you appreciated the quality of our local ingredients, they are, as you can imagine, a big part of the reason why we are not the cheapest option around.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you again someday! 🤗

Ideal lunch/brunch spot - Edit
Very rich in flavors and despite the fact that the concept largely revolves around chickpeas, you will not be served boring plates! Be sure to taste the cauliflower shawarma because they're excellent.

So good - Edit
My fav meal I had in Brussels. Everything had so much flavour. We shared a chefs plate and a flatbread (my bf ate the halloumi). Something I noticed in Brussels is that vegan options were never very well marked, this place included unfortunately. Make sure you study the menu or ask a member of staff!

disappointed - Edit
Took my non-vegan friends out for lunch, hoping it would be a nice experience. They have a very limited offer but that wouldn’t be a problem if they would actually offer it. No fresh lemonade (so only available drink is water or alcohol), no white wine and the rose was WARM, of the four sauces to chose from three were not available.

Quality vegan lebanese food - Edit
The weekend bruch is great, can be made vegan upon request. Combo dips and other options also available every day. Refillable drinks are a plus 😄 Note: Middle Eastern food can be too oily for some of us but you can ask not to add any oil on top.

Did not match my expectations - Edit
The place looks very nice and it’s well located. The presentation of the food is very nice but there’s not much taste.
Read moreThey have the worse hummus I have ever had. I had the impression that it was chick peas mixed with water not because it was too liquid but because there was not much taste.
From the “plat du chef” of 17€ the only things that had flavour for me were the grape leaves filled with rice, the bread, the olives and the fried cauliflower.
I am not going back.
Pros: Many vegan options , Nice presentation of the food, Cozy place
Cons: Vegan options not labelled , Not many non alcoholic drinks, Food not tasty

Belachelijk lekker vegan plate - Edit
The chef’s plate originally has halloumi in it, but the chef replaces it with extra falafel to veganize it! Delicious cauliflower and best beetroot I ever tasted! A big plate full of flavours! Definitely enough for a big fulfilling meal 😍🥰

Always very fast and delicious - Edit
The food which they cook in front of you is amazing, I always order my favorite flatbread with eggplant without eggs and they are eager to please me. There are two other vegan options of the base - falafel and cauliflower which are also great. Besides a flatbread you can also choose a plate. Secondly, I always enjoy seeing the staff because they're nice people. Not to mention they are eco conscious.

I would give one star if I could - Edit
Came here on a Saturday morning and we were only given a brunch menu, apparently you can't have anything other than a mixed platter or an oven dish on a weekend morning. Too bad as we would have wanted to try several items on their menu. We were welcomed by a not-so-welcoming staff member and ordered two mixed platters, which look vegan on their menu (among the items that make up the platter there aren't any which are not vegan). However, when we asked just to make sure they told us there was an egg, which is not written on the menu... Luckily we asked, but wouldn't it be better to just write it on the menu?? After we ordered and were charged €1.50 for tap water, we waited over 35' for our food to be ready. Where do I even start? ALL the food was cold, except for roasted cowliflower (making up 1/10 of the platter). Some veggies were pre-cooked but served cold!!! Why wouldn't you at least warm them up a bit? Throughout our meal we saw staff members picking up food from the fridge and just putting it on the plates... But the worst part is, if you are called Chickpeas, then I would expect your hummus and falafel to be fenomenal, but they were bland and taste-less!!!!! We left feeling disappointed and hungry. There is nothing middle eastern about this place. €15 for a fridge-cold plate of below-average tasting food is not worth it... Honestly, you'd be better off cooking some store-bought falafel yourself.

Hey Dana, Thanks for the review. We like this kind of reviews. Then we can always improve ourselfs.
Read moreBut we think you review is a little to hard for the fresh , Bio an home-made food we serve to our clients.. As you have noticed, we are not a restaurant. But more a renewed snack.
Some explanations to your bad visite in Pois Chiche:
- We do serve all the ingredients cold except for the carbs. That's the way it is since the beginning and will stay like that. This is our way to serve the food.
- Every satruday and sunday from 11am-4pm we serve BRUNCH, and only the brunch. Other days we have our normal menu. This is written on our menu!
- The egg is a new thing on our menu, we propose it as an extra on your brunch plate. (it will be written on the new menu, but first we empty the old ones, Eco-thinking)
- The waiting can be sometimes, when there is too much people a long wait. We do are best to serve ASAP, sorry for that !
- 1,50€ is for a glass of water of our filtring system. You can take as much as you want for that price.. Other restaurants charge you 3-6€ for water. (We also pay for that filtering system every month)
- Sad that you don't like our falafels & hummus. We are adapting ou recpies continiously to improve it.
- This concept is not like the typical Middle-Eastern snacks.. We try to use local vegetables and products, work with Bio ingrediënts and we are not even a year open. So mistakes can happen.
Hope you understand us better now.

For me everything went well and the staff was very friendly. The falafel I have not tried because I don’t like falafel in general but I love hummus and it was indeed tasteless. I am sure this is not the case but I had the impression that it was chick peas blended with water. No salt, no garlic but as most people seem to love it, they have no reason to change the recipe just to please one or 2 people 🤷🏾♀️
