Guy didn’t want the business

Went by this place super hungry. The worker (owner?) was smoking a cigarette outside. I asked him if they were open and he said five minutes. I assumed he was on break so I came back in 15 minutes. I asked him if they were open and he told me in 15 or 20 minutes. I said that he just told me 5 minutes and he just shook his head and mumbled something. It was really lame. I went down the block to a Lebanese restaurant, where I honestly had the best falafel that I’ve ever had. The place is called Falafels and the people there were super great insuring me everything was vegan. I guess it all worked out in the end.

Tasty falafels

[EN] Some of the best falafels I have eaten in Istanbul. You can get extra spiciness for a wrap on request. The staff is very kind and outgoing. I give 4 star because for me there were too many green veggies in the wrap, which have a peculiar taste. I would have preferred to have a greater variety of vegetables.

[PL] Jedne z lepszych falafeli jakie jadłam w Stambule. Możesz dodać więcej ostrości do wrapa, jeśli chcesz. Pracownicy są bardzo mili i towarzyscy. Daję 4 gwiazdki, bo według mnie było za dużo zielonych warzyw we wrapie, które mają specyficzny smak. Wolałabym mieć bardziej różnorodne warzywa.

Pros: Tasty falafels, kind staff, nice vibe

Addicting falafel

I love falafel but it's not an everyday food for me. Except for at Yalla, where I could happily eat it for every meal, every day.

Pros: cheap, tasty

Best Falafel in Town

I have tried many different falafels in my city and believe me this is the best one u can find. Falafel wrap with hummus and tahini yoghurt sauce highly recommended

Amazing Falafel etc.

Best falafels I’ve ever eaten. And excellent other dishes and cookies. Many fully vegan dishes which are also clearly marked as vegan.

Best falafel in istanbul

Title says it all. Numerous vegan options (obviously its a falafel place) and very cheap compared to quality. 20 liras for a falafel wrap. It cant get better than that.

Pros: Great falafel, Quick service

Cons: No vegan yogurt/ayran
