Okay, but not the best. - Edit
I was staying in the old part of the city and this restaurant was one of few option I had. It is very small, but cozy place. I took falafel pita and I was not quite satisfied with it. I tried many falafel places, so I know how a good falafel tastes like. I have to say that this one is not very good one. I could finish it and it was okay to get full, but it was not the best.
Pros: cheap, nice small place, vegan options

Bizarre Experience - Edit
We've enjoyed the hummus and falafel in this Hummus House. We've had quite a bizarre and funny sight of the shopkeeper climbing up and down behind the counter, disappearing from our sight and then reappearing somewhere behind the ceiling...
Well, what review do you want from me? It's just a street buffet, nothing special. It was tasty.
I was told by a local that if you want the best falafel/hummus in town, you should pay a visit to Palestinians. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to do it and compare them so that I could confirm this.
Pros: great meals, quick, i like bizarre stuff
Cons: looked kind of abandoned/unsanitary, strange behaviour of staff

Excellent falafel - Edit
Had probably the best falafel of my life here! Really good and "juicy" and humnus was nice too. So for the good and prices I'm really happy about but service wasn't so impressing. The waitress didn't really speak English and even though I pointed out by finger what I want when we were wondering between two options, I ended up getting a third option that she hadn't even mentioned. The food was so good anyway that I don't want to complain too much about that.
Pros: Excellent falafel
Cons: Service is...Eastern European

fast falafel - Edit
The food here is OK. The vegetarian options include a falafel sandwich and hummus with pita. Their falafel is not bad, but I wasn't impressed by the hummus. They don't have much seating space and it gets crowded around lunchtime occasionally. I would recommend this place if you happen to be in the Knez Mihailova area and are looking for a quick and cheap vegetarian lunch.
Pros: inexpensive, fast service
Cons: limited seating

Nice and fast - Edit
Great for a quick vegan bite. As a tel-avivi myself - taste is but different but still ok. Great pita bread.
Cheaper than original in Israel.

Good for a quick vegan bite - Edit
If you're in Belgrade looking for a quick vegan bite this is a great find. There's a menu for take away or dining in. Food is reasonably priced, and the quality is average.
The vegan options of bread, salad, falafel and hommus are tasty but nothing to rave about.

food is of good quality, but nothing special - Edit
When we arrived in Belgrade, we were glad to find a place for quick vegan lunch in the center. We tried hummus and falafel with bread. It was served with a red mildly spicy sauce and sesame sauce. It was ok but I'd prefer more flavour. Maybe one should order some extras like mushrooms or salad.
Pros: central location, vegan choices
Cons: Hummus and falafel were somewhat bland

Nothing special and expensive - Edit
They don't speak English very good. They gave me only 4 falafels and hummus for 500 denars (4 euros) that's too expensive and there is nothing special about here. They just market it as a special food but I have eaten falafels in many places. Believe me nothing is special.

huge portions! - Edit
Really generous portions, especially for such a good price. Good choice of salad options available.
Pros: value, portion size

Ok falafel - Edit
I just ate at this tiny falafel shop in Belgrade. There are a couple of tables across from where you order on the sidewalk. I have had falafels in many countries throughout the world, and I feel that this falafel was very average by world standards. The falafel bread was soft, thick, chewy and spongy, and tasted like it was purchased at a regular grocery store. It was fresh enough, but just didn't do anything for me. I wish it had been toasted at least. The falafel sandwich tasted a bit "sweet" (perhaps the "chili" sauce they put on it was more like ketchup), and lacked the delicious falafel flavors I am used to. If you are really hungry and looking for a quick veg-friendly place to eat, then this place isn't bad, but if you are looking for an amazing falafel, then this is not your place.
Pros: Price
Cons: Not very tasty

For a quick bite - Edit
If you get hungry while in the city and just want to get some quick falafel, then this is a great choice. The food is pretty good (but nothing special) and for a reasonable price too.
Don't expect anything more than that, we sat in the 'cafe' part, but the atmosphere was a bit cold. The staff was friendly but also a bit distanced. My advice: Just go for the take away part, you'll be more satisfied ;)
Pros: good falafel, central location
Cons: 'empty' atmosphere, staff not so friendly

super falafel - Edit
Real great falafel with a lot of hummus! You can find a great vegan snack at this falafel shop.
It's perfect located, the staff is friendly and speaks english!
Unconnected to the fact that this shop is in Belgrade, it is a real got falafel!
Pros: location, price, falafel

nice little place - Edit
Tel Aviv has one official vegan option-- the falafel sandwich-- although you can order most of the sides separately. I ordered the sandwich (290 dinar) and also got a side of the hummus (250g for around 300 dinar, I think). The sandwich was very, very good. I ordered it spicy, which really just meant that it was more flavourful-- it wasn't spicy at all, but had a kind of piquant quality that was very nice. The carrots gave it a nice sweet finish that was different than what I was used to, but was quite pleasant.
The hummus was not really what I expected, because it honestly tasted much more like tahini. While this was a little surprising at first (seriously, I couldn't taste anything but the sesame although the texture was more hummus-like), it was still really, really good. Try it by itself with apples-- it's amazing.
Pros: vegan option, decent price, English-speaking
Cons: limited options
