Amazing

A very cute and small place but creates amazing, flavorful food.
You can see how they freshly make the falafel balls.
Sweet woman and a really cute atmosphere.
We really enjoyed it!

Pros: cheap, cute atmosphere, handmade

Falafel sandwiches and locally made drinks and paletas

This place has outstanding falafel sandwiches. They are dressed with a delicious mixture of red cabbage and other vegetables and presented very nicely. They are easy to eat by hand. Their green habanero sauce compliments the sandwiches. Portions are good. Try the paletas.

Super hearty!

The food was delicious! We ordered a Full Plate and was a great serving size for to share between two. I love a good falafel and this did the trick for me. Falafel was covered in wonderful parsley. My non-vegan husband said it was the best falafel he had ever had. The salad was my favourite part, the tomato was juicy and the cucumber added just the right about of refreshment. The potato chips and pita bread were the perfect addition. I agree with a previous reviewer that the hummus was bit bitter but mixed in with everything, it was beautiful! The sitting was perfect for two people. Staff were friendly and food came out fast.

Went back a second time after a week on Cozumel and had the pita pocket as well as the salad. Just as delicious as I remembered it being!!

Quality food, good portions, good price

Good option for falafels. Small place with a few seating options, open air with fans, no AC so keep that in mind.

Definitely @thatplantfoodguy approved!

Falafel de qualidade en Playa del Carmen

O Falafel Nessya possui uma localizaçāo bem central em Playa del Carmem e é fácil de se chegar seja após um mergulho na praia ou uma caminhada pela 5a avenida.

Peguei para viagem uma hamburguesa falafel (foto) e estava muito bom. O sanduiche vem acompanhado de batatas fritas.

Vale mencionar também que a loja possui diversas opçōes das famosas paletas mexicanas.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa

Nice falafel

I’m not the biggest falafel fan in general so I’m not the best judge but it was nice food to takeaway and eat by the sea😄

A wonderful lunch!

This is a wonderful falafel place. The pitas used to serve the falafels were so soft and fresh tasting. The falafels themselves tasted freshly made and delicious. The place is very small which made it difficult for us to find. Google maps told us we were standing on top of it and we still couldn’t see it. But with a little persistence we made it and it was so worth it. In the attached picture, the chalk sign on the wall is the only indication that you’ve made it to the right place.

Great Falafel!

Small mom and pop shop, walkable from Playa Del Carmen’s main tourist zone (5th st), serving great falafel plates. They are a fully vegan place.

Good for a snack

I ordered the „half falafel“…was really tasty and freshly prepared. I have a lot of vegan options and I think it’s a good place for a snack.
The only think is that the place isn’t so cozy to spend longer time and they have a limited drinking menu. No coffee for example…overall I would recommend this place for the food. Maybe as a takeaway next time:-)

Pros: Delicious Food, Friendly service, Many vegan options

Cons: Restaurant is not so comfy

Cheap and delicious

Small place and despite two staff on duty, service was slow and they seemed very uninterested. However, the price is really good for such a touristy area, and the falafel plate and pita were very tasty. It's also nice that you can order just half a pita if you're not very hungry.

Pros: Tasty food, Very fair price, Good sauces

Cons: Service wasn't great, Place could do with a bit of a clean

Great

This is the best falafel I’ve ever had, it’s also really good value for money. The hummus was not to my taste(a little bit bitter) but I really enjoyed my meal.

Highly recommend!

Not sure what all the fuss is about…

The food was good but I’ve definitely had better falafel elsewhere! Maybe this is the best falafel in the area which is why everyone raves about it so much?
The portion size was a little small but the food was tasty.
