For a place called Garbanzo, you should actually make the falafels on your menu

After standing in line for over 20 min, I ordered a falafel bowl and was told all the falafels were frozen so there weren't any available. It was 230 pm. Still lunch time. And no alternative vegetarian proteins were offered. Really disappointing as there are few vegan or vegetarian opinions at ATL and I wasted all my layover time in line. I've been to this restaurant before and they make a decent fresh vegan and gluten-free falafel rice bowl, so I was hoping this could be my go-to option, but it's not as reliable as it should be.

Pros: Fresh salad toppings

Cons: Only one vegan protein and it wasn't available , Slow service, Unreliable menu

Good vegan option at the airport!

During my long layover for my connecting flight, I googled what the vegan food options were at the airport and which concourse had the best option. I love Middle Eastern food and decided to check out Garbanzo Mediterranean . I selected a falafel pita with hummus, veggies and rice. It was quite filling and tasty. Though expensive at $12, but happy to have found something delicious and satisfying. Located at Concourse C.

Pros: a few vegan options, good sized portion

Cons: a bit expensive but it is the airport

It’s something

I’m sure it was my specific luck, but others have also noted this place being out of ingredients. Same here.

I can say that the falafel, hummus and rice were good, but they had no tahini sauce, so everything else was rather dry.

They were also extremely slow with service. They were dropping falafel as people ordered it, so it took me about 20 minutes before I got my food.

Nice people

Good vegan options. But make sure you check the ingredients yourself. There are labels on what’s vegan 🌱

Food passable, service and sanitary standards underwhelming

Not only was the lady serving doing several unsanitary things (example: wore gloves but her nails had poked holes through them and were filthy) but the worst was that she was also really rude and outright aggressive. To be fair: This was ~6 months ago and she might not be there anymore. But this experience really made me not try this place again.

A tasty delight in ATL

After a my flight was delayed several times it was time to explore dinner options. I found this restaurant and was beyond amazed by the enriching taste that left me truly satisfied. The Pitta’s unfortunately are vegetarian, but the flour tortilla wraps could score you a win you you chose.

I went with a build your own plate, which included a salad, squash, fresh falafel, mushrooms (for extra protein) yellow rice with a side of hummus all vegan approved. I topped the entire plate off with the vegan vinaigrette dressing.

The dish let’s just say left me truly excited and very satisfied with my choice of restaurant and dish.

The hospitality was a 10 the gentleman working the counter checked all of the ingredients that I questioned to ensure it was vegan friendly without any hesitation.

I gave the restaurant a high rating (5-stars, but the app limited me to only 4 due to it not being a completely vegan only restaurant) as the taste was not dry, but very flavorful down to the last bite.

I tried a sample of the fries and were impressed, but chose not to order as my portion was just what I needed. I hope your experience is 10x’s as better than mine. I approve this message as I was truly satisfied with the service, taste and location accessibility too.

Pros: falafel, Mushrooms, Salad w/ vinaigrette dressing

Decent

I gave it three stars because it's fast food and not a vegan restaurant. It's a really good option and I suggest that you try this place out. I ordered the stuffed pita with felafel with hummus, cucumber, tomatoes, and lettuce.

Love me some Garbanzo

They’re almost always out of something (it’s the busiest airport in the world, so I understand), but Garbanzo never disappoints. It’s a vegan’s Mediterranean dream in a sea of airport burger and pasta joints that are far from vegan-friendly

Good food and quick!

Day 4 going Vegan and I was a little nervous about eating at the airport. Gluten free and vegan options were clearly labeled and staff were friendly

Pros: Several vegan options

Cons: Almost $17 for a plate of food

It exists...

Nothing much to add that at least it exists and you can have a salad with falafel. Nothing gourmet, it’s airport fast food after all but at least I was able to eat something before my flight.
If you have access to the Delta lounge in concourse E (to which I went after), they have a salad bar, good hummus and even a vegan soup. If you don’t have access then Garbanzo is your best option.

Pros: Falafel plate, It exists

Cons: Falafel is the only vegan options, Falafel are so so

Edible but not enjoyable

The staff were more concern with there conversation than they were with helping me. I order the Falafel Pita. The food was overpriced and the falafel was overcooked. The pita as edible.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Many

Good enough for airport food

The baba ganoush and humus were basic. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. They have decent kalamata olives. The falafel were disappointing, as they were overly fried and too small. Some servers were very efficient, others not so much,
but everyone is friendly.

4 stars for food. 2 for staff.

Nice to have options of falafel or mushrooms and the flavors of the hummus and baba ghanoush were good. Hey broerunately, Staff is either lacking training in efficiency and courtesy or just don’t care.

The whole point of an assembly line is efficiency, so for the love of Pete, don’t make 6 people wait for the next 10 to have their players half assembled before finishing theirs. It just backs us up in line and makes no sense. Also, keep track of your offerings and keep them stocked. Was Out of mushrooms, told they would be 5-10 minute wait so I got falafels which I didn’t want. 90 seconds later another staff member brings out mushrooms. I asked the one woman wearing a smile if she would switch it and she politely did. Overall a sorry display of ineptitude, but ultimately thankful the food options were there. I would eat here again, but know to keep expectations for service low.

Best of the Worst

This place sucks. Ordered a Laffa Falafel, got no falafel. Non-vegan trays slopped over into the vegan trays. The only positive is the options are marked. Other than that, this is just crap for falafel.

good option

They offer falafels and portabella options. It's good to be able to eat something besides subway at an airport.

Pros: vegan options are label

Cons: a little expensive

Good option at ATL

There are not many obvious vegan options at the airport. This spot in the D concourse was a bright spot. It's a casual fast food place that has many vegan items clearly marked. Falafel, taboulé, baba ganoush, hummus, veggies, portabellas. And you can have them as a plate, salad, pita or wrap. Not fine dining, but tasty and filling.

Pros: vegan items clearly marked, filling, fast

Yummy Falafel! Updated: not so good the second time

This was way beyond my expectation for a food court falafel. It had some nice spice to it, especially when accompanied with the salsa. My mouth was pleasantly cooled by the cucumber salad. First time I'm happy to have a layover in ATL. ❤️ UPDATE: second time I came back through (3 days later), the staff seemed put-off that I disrupted their lively conversation. They didn't have the couscous and the falafel was so dry, it was tough to choke down (it might have been recooked because it seemed stale and super dark). Still (unfortunately) one of the best fast food options in ATL, but I wish it could have been like the first visit. 😢

Pros: Healthy, tasty, fast, Something for everyone, veg, non-veg, gluten free,, Price comparable to (if not better than) other air

Cons: Pricing was confusing as a first-timer, but it was, Felt rushed, like I couldn't ask questions, but th

Good Airport option

Quick efficient service. You can see all your choices in front of you and choose which items you want in your dish.

Tasted Good, Looked Crappy

The food here was a good light lunch, although it didn't taste 100% fresh and was a little rushed. Overall, a good choice for an airport stop.

Pros: Satisfies savory cravings, Near airplane gates, Fast workers

Cons: Not fresh-tasting, Sloppily thrown together

Alas, no falafel

Maybe it doesn't sell here, but was really looking forward to it during my layover.

Clearly marked

I was here for a layover and pulled up Happy Cow to see what options I had for lunch. I ordered a falafel bowl and everything was clearly labeled as vegan and vegetarian. Falafel has good texture, baba ganoosh is smoky, hummus is smooth. Great option and easy to get to from other terminals.
