A decent vegan place with tons of options

I got the falafel salad and pecan pie for dessert (went there in October). There is a bunch of additional toppings to choose from, so good luck with that😉Though the staff was very friendly and helped me choose.

Pros: Friendly staff, Tasty food, Lots of options

Cons: Need to move between restaurants

Satisfies my falafel cravings.

Falafel Brothers in Roppongi is more like a cramped takeaway place with 4 seatings inside and a table with two seatings outside, but worry not, you can bring your falafel next door to The Brother's Corner, which has more space and tables.

In terms of food, you can either have a classic falafel inside a pitta pocket (can be full size or half), or as a salad, or paired with spiced rice, with two extra toppings which you can choose at the counter. If you ordered it as a set, it came with a drink and a small side of potato wedges/ renkon chips, or a bowl of soup. You can also order some burgers, but I came here to have some classic falafel sandwich.

I went to this place twice, the the first time, the staff was rather unfriendly - perhaps she was quite tired since it's past lunchtime. The second time, I was quite lucky because the lady who served me was very accommodating; you can actually have your side in a separate bowl, so you won't make a mess when eating the sandwich. They also have Mexican hot sauce on the table.

In terms of taste, it's what you expect from a good falafel; crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. My second falafel sandwich was not as greasy as the first one, and the pitta bread was fluffy (and you can buy frozen pittas for ¥400 at the brother's corner). The potato wedges were OK, nothing special.
Although you can choose to have your sandwich with either kale, spinach, or lettuce, I don't think they put enough of those greens inside the pitta.

Overall, this place is a good quick vegan lunch option if you are around Roppongi, I mean, you can't go wrong with falafels!

Visited in August 2021 and October 2021

Pros: Filling and reasonably priced for Tokyo, If lucky, staff is very accommodating

Cons: Staff can be hit and miss, Have to take your food next door

Now with bigger store next door - fantastic!

The recently opened "Brothers' Corner" next to the original location adds plenty of seating and more food options centered around hot pressed sandwiches such as paninis. We tried the pressed version of the traditional pita falafel sandwich with pesto and it was delicious. Also had the German sandwich with pickles, sauerkraut and vegan ham on sourdough - it was a bit weird for me but I'm sure if you grew up in Germany you would love it 😂 You can also order anything from the original store and eat it in the new location.

Pros: Excellent sandwich options , Reasonable price for take out , Friendly staff and comfortable seating

Great overall experience

Falafel was really good and the staff was really cool. Tried the big falafel sandwich and there were three toppings to choose along with the veggies.

Truly the best falafels in Tokyo

Very suitable place for quick snack and light meal!
They offer customised sandwich and salad plate with big falafel balls!
They have many kinds of sauce and toppings so it’s fun to make your own meal.

The price is not attractive but the taste and the volume is much more than you expect.
I had my first falafel in my life here and never met a better one anywhere in Tokyo!

Pros: Tasty falafels, You can customise your dish, Served very quickly!

Cons: Small place, many customers

Mejor Falafel de mi vida

Pedimos en set menu (por 1,450 yen incluye agua y unas papas deliciosamente condimentadas) the brothers sándwich: un riquísimo falafel al interior de una masa en forma de pan pita abierto a la mitad, una base a elegir entre lechuga, espinaca o kale y 3 toppings a elegir, por 100 yen agregas uno extra.
En esa selección fue una agradable sorpresa el babba ganoush hecho de la berenjena tan rica que cultivan en Japón.
También puedes elegir entre tres tipos de tahine; 1 picante, 1 clásico y el “japonés”
Fue muy interesante probar el tahine japonés, exquisito y muy diferente a los ajonjolís y sazones de otras geografías.

Pros: Falafel , Hummus , Rápido, barato y delicioso

Great falafel in Roppongi

This is a tiny restaurant near Roppongi crossing that serves terrific Mediterranean plant based fare. Always worth visiting if in this neighborhood. The staff are super nice.

Pros: Great fresh plant based food

Cons: Very small, do not count on eating in.

Best place in Tokyo

I just can't get enough, I come here daily. Everything on the menu is awesome. They also have a have now hiring sign up (I'm making this review on 18/1/20). If I lived in Tokyo I'd go there in a heartbeat.

Pros: Have place to charge phone if you have a cable. , Great food, great price, friendly.

Cons: Popular little place so might have to sit outside.

Vegan fast food

Vegan falafel sandwich was very tasty but a little messy to eat. Best to take away as very limited seating indoors.

Cons: Very limited seating

Small quirky joint perfect for midday or late snack hearty snacks or meals

I’ll echo what some folks have said that it isn’t the cheapest (although for the area I don’t think you could do much better), but it is a tasty fresh and filling falafel! They only have space for 3 people to sit, so not the best option if you’re looking for an intimate setting. Also, hummus was as good as any I’ve had in japan, but still lacking compared with the best middle eastern restaurants in other countries
