surprisingly good

When I walked into the place I was immediately welcomed and asked to try a piece of falafel. It tasted great!
The rest of the food also tasted great, was filling and for good priced.

Definitely recommended.

Pros: staff, Price, Taste

Cons: decoration

The best and friendliest falafel!

Always fresh, juicy and tasty! And they are so giving! each time I came I was given a piece of freshly fried falafel and tea. And oh yeah, a reduction for students! Great place!

Best flavours I've ever tasted

I just had a falafel salad with tahini dressing (as I can't have gluten) and it was mind-blowing. The spices and flavours were out of this world. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for making my day. (I would give 5 stars if the app let me)
❤️❤️❤️

Pros: The flavours in the salad, The texture and flavour of the falafel, The staff

Tasty

Very tasty Falafel Shawarmas. Very affordable. They also give out free samples. You can eat it plain or have it with eggplant or cauliflower for example.

Falafel is not shawarma!

Saying “Falafel Shawarmas” is like saying “Hummus Gyros” — two things that can be in the same pita, but are not the same thing.

“Eat it plain or with eggplant or cauliflower”... like, cool, but that’s not a shawarma anymore, that’s a falafel wrap with toppings, and we’ve been doing that for decades, not reinventing food.

It's a food tradition — whether it’s Greek, Lebanese, Turkish, Syrian, Palestinian — This hits a nerve, to most people here in Greece, Turkey and countries in the middle east.

Worse you’re just lazy ignorant and masquerading as a food review, Biggot!

5 stars falafel

Tastes like the falafel was made by McDonalds (in the best possible way). Service was a little slow but made with love. Don't miss out.

5*

Vers, voedzaam en vriendelijk. Super betaalbaar . Veel keuze en de meest eenvoudige was al een feestje! Geen vlees gezien dus snap maximum van 4 * niet helemaal.

Simply the best 🌯

So happy to have found this place.
The owner is beyond friendly, and the falafel was to die for. Without a doubt my new go-to place in Leiden.

Ps. I was allowed to taste the falafel Before placing my order 🤯

Pros: Great price (€ 5,-), Super taste

Cons: Would love more options

My new go-to

I like everything about this place. It's small, the owner is super nice and the food is amazing. We got a few falafel samples while waiting for our order which was just so nice (and the falafel is really good too). They also give free falafel do Ukrainian refugees. The owner declined my tip, and asked me to thank him by writing a review if I liked the food. It was just allround a really good experience. If you want falafel, this is a good place to go to!

Just make sure you pay attention to which sauce you want when ordering, since some of them contain milk. But they do know which ones don't, so you're good if you want a vegan meal.

Pros: Very cheap, Nice owner , Good vibes

Best falafel in Leiden!

It was the best falafel I've had in Leiden so far, in a nice flatbread, served by a friendly cook! The fries on the side weren't that interesting (and too much, we ordered more than we could handle), but the falafel, the sauce and the bread were really good for a really good price!

Pros: Good falafel, Good service

Cons: Fries
