Delicious falafel stand - Edit
Visited Ballon today and the falafel buns were delicious! They tasted so amazing, it wasn’t like any falafels I had before. The vegetables that are in the bun as well were so yummy! There were carrots, egplants, mushrooms, mashed potatoes and a few other and everything was so good we loved it! The place is also really cute and cozy and the staff is really nice! Loved this experience!

Great falafel - Edit
This cozy falafel café is definitely worth a visit. The falafel is fairly authentic but has a Japanese touch. The bread is light and fluffy, there’s Japanese mushrooms and the flavours are mild and very well put together. A regular sized falafel filled me up, but if you’re very hungry you could order a large and add extra toppings.

Pros: Completely vegan, delicious, fairly priced

Vegan cafe-Ballon offers delicious and wholesome falafel sandwich! - Edit
This cozy and trendy vegan cafe in Nakameguro, Tokyo offers yummy falafel sandwich and vegan deserts! They source their ingredients very carefully domestically and their sauces, dressings and falafels are all made at the cafe! They put seven different vegetables which had been prepared individually with delicious dressings in the sandwich. Falafels are nice bite size and they are cooked perfectly, crispy outside and moist inside with delicious flavours! I highly recommend to have falafel sandwich with corianders on top and ask for additional “spicy harissa” for fiery kicks!

Soft serve - Edit
Came here specifically for the vegan soft serve. We got the pistachio and caramel flavors. Both were good, but not the best I’ve had. I recommend getting two toppings. It's worth the extra change.

Unique Scrumptious Munches and Cozy Restaurant - Edit
'What makes the falafel special,' you might ask... Maitake mushrooms and creamy mashed potatoes! Special flavored bread! No need to even address the main subject: fresh, made to order falafel with tomato soup.
Read moreNow follow that up with vegan soft serve ice cream with 9 flavor options!? I don't need to say any more...
But I will anyways - everything here is artisan with appetizing presentation. Soft lighting and plants with modern homey fixtures make such an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.
Pros: Completely Vegan!
Cons: None

Must visit this felafel cafe - Edit
OMG, blown away by this amazing felafel cafe. We ordered the regular size felafel sandwich and one with coriander. The vegetables are so fresh and the felafel beautiful, the pita bread was the lightest I’ve tasted. Very friendly, clean place, they take credit card. English menu on hand makes everything very simple. Tea, cold drinks and soft serve ice cream, even hot tomato soup. Counter seating, a very relaxed modern feel. Highly recommend if you’re craving fresh vegetables.

Only 5 min away from Nakameguro Sta., Ballon is a nice and cozy little falafel place that not only serves amazing falafel on a Pita bread or in a bowl for a reasonable price but also has smoothies, juice, herby and fruit latte, and VEGAN ice cream as well.

Good for a quick stop - Edit
The food is made fresh with lots of care. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a very small establishment, so I would not recommend for large groups or for people who want to dine in for a while. Also the turmeric latte was delicious and I highly recommend. Falafel is soft with enough crunch, I loved it!

Amazing Felafel Joint - Edit
Wanted to grab something light and a friend recommended me this place. Didn't think much of it but WOW was I surprised. It was absolutely the best, mouth watering, and delicious felafel sandwich I had. Even considering that I lived in Morocco for more than 4 years of my life. If you want great, healthy, and delicious vegan food do not think twice and come over to BALLON!
