DELICIOUS!!! - Edit
The Go Beet is an edible masterpiece. The red beet hummus is a stunning pink. It’s like the Barbie of hummus.
Read moreThe falafels had me nervous at first. They looked like they’d be good paperweights—dark, hard, and kinda uninviting. But the second I bit into one? Oh. My. Chickpeas. The crispy shell cracked open to reveal a tender, flavourful center. How can something so crispy on the outside and soft inside even exist? It’s culinary sorcery.
The whole dish was beautifully balanced—though I had to bench the tomatoes. They just didn’t bring their A-game.
I didn’t touch the tahini sauce. The beet hummus was the Beyoncé of this platter, and honestly, there’s no need to mess with perfection.
Chickpeas Ottawa, you’ve got a new fan.
Pros: sooo many choices
Cons: a bit out of the way to get to

Average - Edit
Pretty average falafel, I think we had higher expectations because they specialize in falafel. But this may be the place to go if you’re looking for different types of hummus.
Read moreStaff were really nice and the seating was comfortable.
Jalapeño wrap - good flavour, but falafel was dry yet not crispy
Beet wrap - pretty good. Strong lemon taste that overpowered other flavours
Tabbouleh - it was average

A great find for vegan food! - Edit
Chickpea has some amazing food and it’s served up by a warm and welcoming staff. It’s a small restaurant located in a sprawling mall but it has a really friendly neighbourhood feel. We’ll be back! 😊🌱

So good! - Edit
Falafel isn't as simple as people might assume; it is frequently too dry, flavorless, or mushy. These guys have it right! The hummus and tahini was superb as well! #Veganuary

Great despite the building work going on - Edit
There was lots of construction work going on to the building they were in so it was a little odd - but their cafe was like a little oasis of calm. I had the curry if the day it was very tasty and filling - I would highly recommend (they are about to move premise as well)
Read morePros: Good food, Generous potion , Friendly staff

Best vegan restaurant in Ottawa - Edit
I've tried most, if not all, veggie restaurants in Ottawa and Chickpeas still comes out on top. Incredible hummus and falafels.

Why did all of these locations close? - Edit
This was the greatest falafel place in Ottawa. The vast array of different fresh humus, as well as the tailored vegetable flavour combinations for each wrap, were so satisfying and delicious.
Read moreWHY DID THE BANK STREET AND BYWARD MARKET LOCATIONS CLOSE? PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU!!!!
There was absolutely no reason at all for this restaurant to close. Ottawa keeps taking losses, continually losing the best cuisines they ever had. What a shame. Will people in this city ever appreciate true delicious and healthy food?
If you changed cities or changed your restaurant name, please let me know. Please please I beg of you.

Best Falafel in Ottawa - Edit
Lovely place that has the best falafel in Ottawa, great teas, inventive types of hummus, friendly service. I only wish they would make up some فول (fool) and serve up an Arab breakfast on the weekends.

I really enjoyed their falafel sandwiches, which tastes so different to me than most other restaurants that serve them. I also like their hummus varieties and fattoush. I've been there a few times, and the staff are always friendly.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
They have at least 6 different kinds of hummus (jalapeño, roasted red pepper, avocado). You can get falafel sandwiches, salads, lentil soup, za’atar potato wedges. Everything is super fresh and tastes absolutely amazing! The green olive salad is just wow! It is cash-free though. They accept debit, credit and Apple Pay from what I noticed. Plus the people that work there are genuinely nice and welcoming.

Cons: Cash-free (if it’s not your thing)

Doesn't take cash - Edit
Doesn't take cash. I wouldn't buy anything because I am conscious of my privacy. I don't need to share where I shop with my bank or the government. I am sure that people who are from, or have roots, from certain places in the world that have or have had repressive regimes would understand the value of privacy when it comes to one's financial affairs. Even with something simple like falafel.

There are video cameras recording you too...everywhere. Unless you plan to stay in the same spot without moving, I think you are okay to buy with a credit card here and there, unless you do not have a CC for the reasons you provided.
