Decent Levantine cuisine

This cute little place, beautifully located, serves authentic Levantine cuisine: hummus, babhaganoush, falafel, the whole deal. All fresh and tasty.

Nice Street Cafe

The falafels and the hummus were great, the salads were unfortunately a bit disappointing. It's great that you can always refill the very tasty lemonade.

Très bon

J'ai pris un mezze à emporter, c'était très bon et copieux
Je ne mets que 4 car j'ai trouvé ça un peu cher malgré tout

Solid option

I am not the biggest fan of mezzes, but this place compenates with friendly service and cosy outdoor terrace. As they are one of the few businesses open on Tuesdays, they have helped me out from time to time. This time I got the cauliflower shoarma plate. This is served with flat bread, some greans, grated carrot salad, hummus and some toppings like stuffed vine leaves. Tasty but a bit oily.

Pros: Facilitated take away in my own container

Naughty but nice

Staff are helpful and will veganise any dish. I had the ‘Chef’s Plate’ without the Belgian grilled halloumi but with extra everything else (see photo): hummus, seasonal salads, vegetables, flat bread, garnishes, felafel, sabih (grilled aubergine), crunchy cauliflower bits, olives, chilli, stuffed vine leaves. An enjoyable meal.

Great food

This place is great for healthy food served quickly. There were many vegan choices to go at. I wasn’t sure what to order so I asked the server if a particular combo would be sufficient for two adults and she said yes. She didn’t try to upsell which was nice. We both had soft drinks also which are unlimited refills . So it’s really good value too.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Healthy , Lovely staff

Cons: I don’t live nearby😄

Vegan Mezze

We shared the Mezze Experience which had a large portion of dips (hummus, muhammara, moutabal & baba ganoush), dolmas, olives, pickles, falafel, cauliflower shwarma and sabih - it came with a variety of flatbreads and crackers. The food was really tasty and everything was freshly prepared.

They are 100% vegetarian able to make adapt everything to be vegan and in this case asked us with what we wanted the usually halloumi replaced with. Price was good and inline with other restaurants in Brussels.

Pros: portion size, variety

Nice small restaurant

We went here with a group of about 20 people (with reservation ofc) and they were very accommodating and handled it so well. Water and lemonade you can get unlimited amounts from the tap if you pay once which is a great concept. I had the cauliflower plate and it was really tasty. The hummus was really good too, I’m a bit picky about hummus but you could really tell that this one was good quality.

Only thing I don’t really like is that you don’t get a lot of information about the salads that are part of the plates and what is in it.

Très bon

J'y ai été une fois pour un sandwich au falafel. C'était bon, peut être un peu cher.

Une deuxième fois pour un brunch, c'était délicieux. Les produits sont bien frais et c'est vraiment fin.

Lovely falafel

The falafel wrap here was very tasty but they had ran out of hummus so could only get the bowls without it which didn't sound great.

Good vegan wraps

Had the cauliflower flatbread wrap which was delicious, wasn’t as big a fan of the aubergine one but the bread was really nice and the ingredients were fresh. A nice atmosphere if you want to eat in and lovely staff but easy to take away and walk around the city with.

Good for a quick bite

We had the combination of 4 dips and an additional hot sauce. The sauce portion was very small, but very delicious. We liked 3 out of the 4 dips, and we missed some flavour/spices in general.

The platter came with not enough bread and sticks, but we could ask for extra. M

Overall, this is a nice spot for a quick bite. For an elaborate meal is it not comfy enough to sit.

Absolutely delicious - will be back!

Not anything negative to say about my meal here…. Ingredients were clearly fresh and high quality, and everything tasted delicious. I had the cauliflower shawarma plate which came with hummus, salad, roasted sweet potatoes, beetroot salad, barley couscous, olives and additional garnishes.

Will definitely be back!

Pros: Quality of ingredients, Great falafel, Overall taste

Consigliato

Se siete a Bruxelles non potete non provare questo ristorante che si trova nella piazza dove c’è la Chiesa di Nostra Signora della Cappella.
Offre piatti dal gusto mediorientali, ma che ormai sono entrati nella quotidianità.
Noi abbiamo preso un piatto di falafel e hummus, Cauliflower shawarma e sabih.

Ci siamo innamorati dei falafel, i più buoni mai mangiati fino ad ora.

Per l’acqua si paga 3€, ma si può bere quante volte si vuole essendoci un distributore di acqua filtrata.

Se non fossimo stati lontani con l’alloggio, saremmo tornati anche il giorno successivo.

Cibo facilmente digeribile anche se agliato e speziato.

Pros: Cibo, Falafel, Staff gentile

Cons: L’aglio per chi non è abituato

Great place with good food

We really enjoyed being there, also because there is a lot of sun on the tables outside in the evening. It's located in the center of brussel on a big square. The food was really tasty, but the quantity was really not too much with regard to the price. Anyways, it was authentic and they also had good drinks! We'd go there again, maybe with less hunger😄

good and fresh fast food with room to improve

The food was quite good. The eggplant was a highlight and overall ther meals are well composed.
It is defenitly different than other foods in the area which is nice.
Be aware of the olives as they come with stones! I would love it if they chose to get rid of them before serving the dishes in the future.

Pros: eggplant, different, the are on a green mission

Cons: service/tables not clean :/

Egg in vegan dish

Pretty disappointed to see a fellow vegan customer complain about finding a hard boiled egg in their meal. But I was shocked to see how the staff reacted. Rather than recook the dish or offer a refund, the staff scooped the egg out of the dish with their bare hands and simply handed it back. Didn’t even wash their hands before doing so.

Good falafel and fresh ingredients

I had a vegan bowl with lots of different things. Everything tasted really fresh (except maybe the flatbread), I really enjoyed the food here. The falafels might be some of the best ones I’ve tried in Brussels. The price for one bowl is quite high though (~18€).

Pros: Can taste the good quality of the ingredients

Cons: Expensive

Hey emkoi

Thank you for your nice review of our Middle Eastern restaurant, we're happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed our homemade falafels! They really are our pride and joy 😋

We’re well aware we’re not the cheapest option, but serving quality local produce sadly still comes at a hefty price in Belgium.

We nevertheless hope to welcome you again someday soon. 😊
