Sehr lecker

Nicht das günstigste Essen, aber Cartagena ist aufgrund des Tourismus vergleichsweise teuer, vor allem il historischen Zentrum.

Dennoch war die Bowl mit Falafel und Hummus äußerst lecker. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Delicioso y muy buen precio beneficio

Probé el shawarma de falafel, el falafel está delicioso porque no es seco, comida fresca con verduras deliciosas encurtidas y una porción bien grande.

Pros: Sabor de la comida, Balance, Tamaño de la porción

Cons: Si no tienes tanta hambre no hay alternativa, Restaurante pequeño

Food was soooo tasty!

We came here for a quick bite, looking for something fast. We were surprised of how good the food was and the portions were very generous. Others have mentioned bad service (a common theme in Cartagena) but we had a great experience.

Pros: Food portions, Tastiness of food , It was relatively fast

Cons: Very small place, Drink variety

Really yummy falafel 🥙 pita!

3 stars cause service was quick once and slower other time. Despite that, the guy speaks English, understand what vegan means, and the sauces on the falafel pita (tahinis) are vegan. Would go again!!!

Pésimo servicio

Estuvimos en ese restaurante y la persona que atiende es súper grosera, dice ser el dueño o su propio jefe

No vayan si lo que quieren es que los traten mal, en el rato que estuvimos trató mal a 3 clientes diferentes incluidos extranjeros, NO tiene comunicación asertiva

No vale la pena ir para aguantar un mal trato

Pros: Ninguno

Cons: Servicio, Calidad de la comida

…. ok I guess

The chef was extremely nice and welcoming but the food was just ok and the place was really small. I did appreciate the effort but sadly it wasn’t happening for me.

We have to be honest with each other Cartagena is not big on the vegan scene compared to Medellin and Pereira that are miles ahead. In Medellin there were legit like 20 vegan restaurants and Pereira quite a lot as well but in Cartagena not even one vegan restaurant. It’s only mostly places with “vegan options”. So taking this in consideration I do give credit to this restaurant.

Falafel pita was to die for

I was in Cartagena in February and went here three times in a week. The food is so good, the staff is so friendly and helpful and the restaurant was always clean. Prices are very fair

Specify vegan when ordering

Muuy rico el bowl

Las verduras estaban deliciosas, gran sabor. El falafel podría ser mejor, pero está bien.
Me pareció una buena opción en Cartagena, tiene buena porción y aunque no es económico el precio no es excesivamente costoso como en la mayoría de lugares de la ciudad.

Good food but limited options

Decent food that tasted nice but limited vegetarian options. The choice was either a falafel bowl or a falafel pitta. Portion sizes were good however. The pictures in the menu also show items that weren't included in our purchase so just be aware that the pictures may not be accurate.
Other than that, a decent enough place to eat

Pros: Flavour, Portion Size

Cons: Price , Limited Options

Tasty, fresh and filling

Wonderful authentic falafel and humos, generous portions (and you'll want to eat every bite) in a casual and cozy setting. Not expensive.

Pros: Tasty food, Generous portions , Friendly service

Good Vegan Options

We went to this restaurant for dinner. The food was very tasty. The waitress was friendly, but I didn't think the chef was very nice, perhaps because the restaurant was closing or because we don't speak Spanish well, but that doesn't justify his rudeness. Good vegan options on the menu and, once again, very good, honest food at a good price.

Fomos jantar nesse restaurante. Comida muito gostosa. A atendente foi cordial, mas achei o chefe nada simpático, talvez porque o restaurante estava fechando ou porque não falamos bem espanhol, mas não justifica a falta de educação. Boas opções veganas no cardápio e, mais uma vez, comida muito boa, honesta e com bom preço.

Decent falafel

The falafel shawarma was huge and you get to pick what salads you want in it. Unclear which sauces are vegan - the tahini sauce looked very yoghurt-like to me - so make sure you specify and/or ask.

Staff were cute. A/C wasn't very strong making quite a hot box!

Lucky find!

There aren’t very many veg places in Cartagena Old Town but this little Lebanese restaurant was great! Prices aren’t cheap but not too expensive. The falafel bowl was delicious, just make sure to specify no milk or yogurt for the sauces. Space has AC and Wifi too!

Good falafel

We tried their bowl and the pita which both can be made vegan if you choose falafel as the protein option and the food tasted really good. To top that up, they have several options of salad, vegetables and sauces to add to your plate or pita bread. You can have a menu for around 2 dollars more which includes a beverage and a portion of French fries.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Sells meat
