one of my best meals in japan! - Edit
I had one of the best falafels ever here. I was raised a vegetarian in California so I've had my fill of falafels. Their wrap/pocket has a mix of healthy yet tasty veggies and lightly crisped falafels. The flavor comes together very well and it's easy to eat. Tomato soup is bomb as well.

Best falafel you'll eat - Edit
Really delicious food, plain and simple. Bring your friends here and feel comfortable knowing they're going to be impressed. I dream of this place's falafel, seriously lol. It also serves vegan ice cream which is epic and a fairly rare find in Japan.

incredibly good falafel - Edit
I’m a falafel addict. I never let a week go by without having some. And this falafel is the best I’ve ever had. The balls are packed with flavour, the bread is nice and airy but not too thick, and the fillings feel so healthy. Love this place.

AMAZING - Edit
Very cute and cosy falafel stand. Ice cream was great, not 100% what it's made of but it has a nutty aftertaste. Got a regular falafel, which was so good I had to fight the urge to get more and take them home with me.
Read morePros: reasonable pricing (before tax: 550 yen small, 880, very nice decor, does takeaway

Falafel of Ballon - Edit
Falafel of Ballon:
Read moreNear Tokyo Nakameguro station. There are tremendous variety choice of gourmets waiting to be explore. The Ballon just located opposite to the Kekobosakamachikado park where you could arrive by walking.
Having this wonderful feeling with curiosity. We order The Falafel made from fresh and organic vegetables sided with fruit fizzy bubble juice.
It slowly satisfied our expectation. The homemade Harrisa sauce combine with sesame sauce and chickpea ball was classic! Finished with an extra order of soy milk ice cream that ended our journey into Ballon.
Highly recommend and it is a five stars for Ballon and can’t wait to visit again!
Pros: Organic , Falafel, Ice cream
Cons: Tokyo, Nakameguro

THE BEST FALAFEL SANDWICH IN TOKYO - Edit
If you love falafel sandwich and live in Tokyo you would most likely say that Kuumba du Falafel in Shinsen is the best, but I like Ballon better. Ballon’s falafel sandwich is the bomb!!!
Read moreEach bite is loaded with flavor and texture and they make an excellent colorful sandwich. Unlike others, ballon's got creamy moist mash potatoes and roasted maitake mushroom inside instead of hummus. Different and creative. Tastes amazing and fills you up too. Cilantro topping is highly recommended! Last but no least their vegan ice cream is yummy as well.
Pros: Fresh organic vegetables, Uber Eats available , Vegan soy ice cream (gluten free option available)

Must visit vegan place! - Edit
I think ballon is one of the best vegan place I've ever visited! The falafel sand which is the specialty of Ballon, is topped with various vegetables and a croquette. Not only tasty, but very filling! I think it should be recommended for both women and men. (We can choose a size from small, regular and large.)
Read moreI also had a handmade fruits soda with sand. This was very very good! The fruits will be changed seasonally. Will definitely visit again!
I had a vegan soft at last! This is made without dairy products. Tasty but no guilty to eat:)
Besides above, the shop is not spacious but full of good senses. Photogenic place!
Pros: Tasty
Cons: Nothing

The best falafel sand! - Edit
Their falafel is very crispy and taste really good! There are many different vegetables in it. You can enjoy the different flavors and textures of each vegetables every time you bite and they match really well in your mouth! Oh gosh, this is a must try seriously! They make almost everything in their kitchen with a lot of care.
Read moreI always have regular size falafel sand and their vegan soft cream after meal. Their soft cream is also very rich and have so many toppings that you can enjoy!
Small size is good when you need a snack.
Large size makes you full and satisfied.
Also I recommend their homemade seasonal fruit soda if you haven't tried yet. It's very refreshing and goes well with falafel sand and soft cream. They use different fruit depending on seasons. You can ask staff what fruit they use.
The shop is small but well organized with modern furniture. The staff are friendly and seem happy to answer your questions if you have.
Pros: Excellent food, Many topping options for soft cream, Made in their kitchen with care

Great vegan place!!! - Edit
It is such a great vegan food stand!! Their falafel sandwich is very tasty and high quality. I can tell they are making the food with much care. One sandwich is very satisfying and fulfilling! It has falafels, grilled vegetables, potato salad, delicious sauce and more!
Read moreThey also have a very very good ice cream!! I couldn't believe it was all vegan. You can choose toppings from their nice selection!
They also sell organic flower (no chemicals used) bouquets sometimes. They are getting directly from a farm in Saitama.
Ballon has a good atmosphere and stylish interior.
I strongly recommend this place. I will definitely go back there very often!
