Tasty falafel

Today I ordered falafel with bread (to go). Very delicious and this comes from falafel lover. Tasty bread too! I know some people in the reviews complained about long waiting time but for me it took max 5 min which I think is fine considering there were other people making orders and waiting. This is a small place not alot of place to sit and eat but located perfectly in the old town, easy to find and has tasty food and nice staff.

Good falafel and ok hummus

I had a falafel bowl and hummus. The falafel was good but the hummus was a bit too sour for my taste. They only have a few seatings and the outdoor seating wasn't very comfortable. If I would go back I would try some other dish, maybe the eggplants.

Pros: Good falafel

Cons: Too sour hummus, Uncomfortable seating

Delicious!

I stopped in for dinner on my last night in Sarajevo and definitely was not disappointed! The eggplant salad was delicious, and the falafel was amazing. The staff here were also great.

Ok, but the waiting is too long

The food was ok, but the waiting for it was nearly never-ending. After more then 30 minutes, the waiter came again to ask what was our order, and we waited again for very long time. The place wasn't crowded, so it was really absurd.

Best Falafel ever!

My boyfriend and I went today for lunch and loved it! All the way from the super nice manager (or owner...we don't know), to the freaking delicious food. We ordered the salad with falafel, the Tabbouleh and the tortilla falafel with fries :) We wanted to order more, but we were full haha we will have to come back :D

For real, if you guys want great service, delicious food, and good prices just come to this place :D

btw...pretty much everything was vegan except for 3 dishes..tell your waiter and will give you a hand :D

Pros: Those falafels , great service , good prices

very nice and lovely

I am very happy I found this place by coincidence. We were walking the streets of the old town and saw the restaurant and even though it was past their working time the owner (I guess) was very lovely and I was able to get food. So I went again a few days later with a friend who is a convinced meat eater and she fell in love with falafel (thats a win I guess).

Crispy moist falafel, very fresh bread!

The bread was really really fresh. The woman I met who worked there spoke very good English. Nice, clean cozy restaurant. The falafel and hummus were good, and did I mention the bread was really really fresh?

Falafel plate was 8.5 BAM. Nice deal!

cant go wrong here at all

Ate twice here and it was really good. Two levels of seating, different kinds of humus, salads and what is the most important within the balkan region: no smoking inside

Cons: the table was not big enough for my dishes :-)

Wonderful food and service

I ate here four days and tried various items including Falafel Meal, Falafel sandwich, Eggplant Salad, Yogurt, and Zucchini. Zucchini was kind of tasteless and insipid but everything else is wonderful - especially eggplant salad! The serving ladies were very gracious and welcoming - a must visit!

Pros: Vegan, Wonderful food, Center of town

Cons: None

happy to find something vegan in town

It was good and not too expensive. I was glad to find a place with vegan options. Not a big meal but not too expensive. If you're hungry, you'll have to take several different salads, which can add up. Hummus and falafel were ok, bread was good.

Falafel and hummus heaven!

I really thought falafel and hummus would be easier to find in Bosnia but I was mistaken.. so I was super happy to find this place with a almost completely vegan menu! (Except for the yoghurt) I had falafel meal and it was really good. My friend had falafel tortilla meal, both with french fries.

The restaurant was a bit fast food kind of like and with a few tables, all looking very Fresh. The staff could have been more enthusiastic though.

Pros: Almost completely vegan menu , Prices, Location

Cons: Staff

Lovely little place

In a city where meat is king, this is a great little find. The place is in the old town and easy to find. The menu is all about falafel (and the accompanying sides) , but it's all very tasty. Service is quick, if a bit surly. Overall, I do recommend it.

Tasty, well-presented and affordable

Falafel is a great little eatery off the main pedestrian street, Bascarsija. It is intimate and inviting. We have been there summer and winter and have always had good luck with all of the dishes. They are well-flavored and you get a lot for the money. Our international friends also have enjoyed the food.

Pros: Great food, Generous portions, Budget prices

Cons: Sometimes items on menu not available

Great location, mediocre food

Not a bad place to eat, but nothing memorable either. I had hummus with pita and tabouleh and it tasted nice, just as you would expect. The interior design is absolutely unbelievable. It is one of the very few places where you can get normal vegan food, so worth a visit if you are staying in Sarajevo.

Pros: normal good food, price, location

cheap tasty and in the heart of old town

This place was our life saviour in Sarajevo as a vegan and vegetarian couple. Luckly we went there with a local friend and we didn't get lost. Falafel was OK but not so tasty (a bit dry and overcooked) hummus was delicious! I had the plate option and a eggplant salad to share that we really loved. Everything served promptly so my boyfriend and me went back the next day for lunch as well :)

Pros: unic option if you're veggy, tasty, cheap

Cons: falafel was a bit oveecooked

fresh, cheap and cheerful!

Fresh and quality food served promptly with a smile. Maybe a lack of options as almost everything contains falafel, though the clue is in the title I suppose.

Take away possible.

Pros: Fresh, Quick, Friendly

Cons: lack of options, Could offer a non-dairy milk option with smoothies

Colorful place for a break

A small place downstairs, few tables outside and more upstairs (great with our 2 years old child). Falafel were OK but not so tasty (a bit dry and overcooked) and it smell unfortunatly too the frying ! But the humus with pines nuts was excellent ! Cheap and a good alternative for vegetarians.
Good for a quick snack.

Falafel Obrok Veliki

I had the small plate with salad and fries that come with the falafel and had a Sprite on the side which came to 10,00 Euro. There is little seating down stairs but more to seat up stairs.

The location is in the heart of the old town district and down an ally way so you might miss it if you don't have GPS.

Pros: Friendly staff, Åccepts credit cards

tasty, talkative and cheap

Ordered the (small) falafel sandwich as it was 3km, about £1.25. Expected a slice of bread with a bit of falafel. Instead I got a MASSIVE bap, filled with Moroccan/Med delights. Lots of talking, interested in veganism, so altogether a great eatery... Went back in the morning for breakfast as well!
