Middle Eastern - French fusion - Edit
This is a Middle- Eastern style fast food place but with a really imaginative French twist. You can sit in (inside or outside) or take away. All the felafel and salad combos are available in three sizes. I went for Y Petit Faim (a little hungry) portion of Le Provençal option which was plenty for me. It consisted of a few delicious felafel plus dried tomato 'caviar', artichoke 'caviar', a tomato sauce, aubergine, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and grated carrot. The 'caviars' were absolutely delicious with really interesting flavours. The aubergine was velvety soft, although slightly bitter. This was all served with a flat bread pocket which you could stuff yourself. I also ordered a bottle of beer but there are several other options for drinks. I was really impressed with this place; there were lots of different options, all of which sounded great. The only downside was that everything was served in disposable containers, even if you were sitting in, with plastic cutlery and no segregation for recycling apparent, even for my glass beer bottle.
Read morePros: Delicious, imaginative, Fast service, Pleasant staff
Cons: No recycling, Disposables only

Delicious, fast, friendly - Edit
I ordered from them, as my hotel did not have sufficient choice of vegan options. Delivery was on point, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will order again!

Really great falafel - Edit
We actually ended up here on a whim because most of the city was shut down (because Sunday).
Read moreTurned out to be a cool place with nice service and a really, really great falafel. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great falafel - Edit
We really enjoyed the falafel from Yaafa - very crunchy outside but soft, moist and flavourful inside. Their pittas are thick and fluffy and the salads and dressings were fresh-tasting and generous. All round a very nice falafel-in-pitta which was more filling than it looked like it would be!
Read moreWould have liked a spicier sauce option but that's just being picky.
Fairly quick service and lots of seating. This is clearly a popular place as it was packed even in the middle of the afternoon, but we didn't have to wait long for our food.
Pros: All veggie, staff clear which dishes are vegan, Good falafels
Cons: Could so easily be 100% vegan , Don't think there was a vegan dessert option, Adding chips and spicy sauces to the menu would be

Fresh and fast - Edit
This place was awesome! There is at least one vegan pita/ salad option plus soup and chips. We got the meal deal which came with chips or soup plus a drink. The homemade lemonade and ice tea were delicious as was the pita. You can see them making the falafel behind the counter and it tastes very fresh. The chips were very oily, I had to squeeze mine out with my napkin before eating and I saw a girl come in after and do the same thing. It's a busy place but they get through the orders quickly so your not waiting around too long. Overall it's a great place to stop for a bite and I would have gone back again if I had time!

Un incontournable en plein centre de Lyon - Edit
Depuis leur ouverture j'y passe bien plus souvent que je ne le devrais. Leurs pita falafels sont tous bons, bien équilibrés, ils changent souvent une de leur recette ce qui permet de varier les plaisirs. Bref, à ce prix je succombe sans arrière-pensée à l'appel de la junk-food cruelty-free.
Read moreA noter que leurs boissons maison sont très bonnes. Les accompagnements et desserts sont bons aussi, mais bien souvent un sandwich suffit amplement à calmer un appétit moyen.
Pros: Excellent rapport qualité-prix, Recettes renouvelées régulièrement, Situation très centrale

Fabulous fresh falafel! - Edit
Friendly staff who advised of the two vegan options, and I had the Veggie Fest in a pitta for 5 euros. Really lovely fresh salad and the freshly fried falafel was great, too. Probably my favourite meal in Lyon! There were quite a few seats but not sure about loos - we got takeaway and walked the few mins across to eat by Saone.
Read morePros: Great tasting food, Excellent value, Group deals (falafel and beers!)
Cons: Not a place to sit for ages

Delicious -- I went twice! - Edit
I felt like I was in the company of friends when I walked in and made mention I'd found Yaafa on Happy Cow. Everything was pointed out to me that was vegan friendly. (Note: They are 100% vegetarian and most is actually vegan.) Relaxed environment though they were constantly BUSY (a good thing). The eggplant was especially good as was everything I tried. I went back the next day for more! :)
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Relaxed environment, Fresh food prepared infront of you

Perfect Falafels ! - Edit
Better than mines, I have to admit ! And the menu with the soup, which is changed every week, is extra -
Read moreWanted to try the place a long time ago, but couldn't find the moment. Now, it's done, and for the best ! I have a new place to hang out during the year :)
Pros: The falafels and the soups, Home-made drinks at will, Low prices

Nothing Special - Edit
The falafel wasn't any better than the cheap stuff you'd get at a kabab place. Pretty dry. The sauces weren't too interesting either. I enjoyed my Grocery Store meals in Lyon much better. The only thing nice about the food here, when compared to any other falafel spot, is you know it's not cooked in the same oil and some nasty fleshy doner meat.
Read moreMy friend and I both thought the falafel was boring. She really enjoyed the soup though. I thought that was pretty average as well.
Pros: Lemonade , Iced Tea , No Meat
Cons: Boring, Bland Sauces

Very good place to eat - Edit
I really loved this place ! The food was really fresh and delicious, the people were nice, and the prices are quite cheap. I took the 7,50€ menu, which includes the pita bread with the garniture of your choice (among 6), a drink and a side order (potates, "taboulé" or gaspacho soup).

Yum! - Edit
Thanks to Happy Cow we found this place and had an awesome lunch! The Falafel Salad Box was so much yummy vegan food we couldn't finish it all. Luckily the tabbouleh and gazpacho came in travel containers to take home. Yes its fast food but it was fresh tasting, delicious and filling. And they had a patio to sit and eat on. Go try it!
Read morePros: fast, big portions, yummy
Cons: only one pita bread per salad box
