Fabulous falafel 🥰 - Edit
I was very hungry and I think this was the nearest vegan place to Nagai Park. It was definitely worth the walk and the wait for it.
Read moreSmall restaurant with limited seating but the food is very good. I had a bowl. The falafel was crunchy on the outside, green on the inside. It felt really healthy and filling. I opted for the garlic mayonnaise sauce.
The chickpea doughnuts were crunchy on the outside, soft and spongy inside. I opted for the cinnamon flavour.
If I stayed or lived near this restaurant, it's the kind of place I would visit every day (that they are open).

Incredible - Edit
I found a small falafel stand on a street corner. Since I’m vegan, I told myself I could have a bite to eat and went in. I was incredibly shocked. The falafel was cooked to perfection, crunchy yet soft. The hummus was perfect, with the texture also being smooth and just so flavorful, along with hummus with tomato. I ended up ordering another plate, and didn’t regret it for a second. The price is also very good for the quality you’re getting. Overall, an incredible discovery which I hope to come back to soon!

Best falafel of my life - Edit
I had the best falafel sandwich of my life today at Gold Falafel. The falafel were huge, perfectly cooked, lightly crisp on the outside, fluffy, flavorful, and hot on the inside. Served with fresh greens, pieces of eggplant, and lightly browned sweet potato. I chose tahini dressing and fresh local pickles. The pita was fresh and warm, as warm as the welcome when we walked in the door.

Best falafel - Edit
I've eaten many falafels before, but couldn't expect eating my best one in Japan.
Read moreWe took the garlic and soy milk yogurt ones, such a delight. We also tried their delicious donuts, you can't go wrong with the apple cinnamon flavor 😋
And finaly their homemade ginger ale and pineapple syrup which you have the option to drink with soda 😍
In brief, I highly recommend this place 😊

Best falafel in Japan - Edit
This is a cute little falafel place in a residential area but I can assure you that it is worth the walk there/a detour. I was there in May and to be honest, had my best falafel in Japan. If I lived closer I would be a regular!
Read moreYou get a good size of a falafel in pita bread for a good price. You can eat in (though not now during corona) or in a park next to the place. And the owner also offer home made mini donates that are super jummy
Pros: Small and cozy, Possible to eat there or Take away , Home made!
Cons: A bit off

Delicious food and lovely chef/owner - Edit
The falafel pita was seriously so good, and my boyfriend LOVED the mini doughnuts. We bought probably 8 to take home, and when we tried them we went back for more. Owner gave us some free extra doughnuts which was great.

First Farafel in Osaka! - Edit
I love Indian and middle-eastern foods! They are so exotic and pleasant to my taste buds! I was so glad to find this place by chance from my vegan catoonist Natsumi's blog. The owner fell in love with Farafel in Germany and thought this amazing food is not yet well-known here in Japan, so he and she decided to introduce it here in Osaka! What a good decision!!
