"Delicious falafels and couldn’t believe they were gluten free and vegan. Was a great spot to stop and have some lunch. The staff was also very kind and helpful for making sure we felt comfortable not having any issues with our allergies."

"So good! You would think Falafel is JUST falafel but nope. We went here due to the very limited kosher options in Barcelona and if we wanted to eat, this was on of the options. However, it was epic and amazing. Freshly deep fried falafel balls and a stuffffffed pita with tons of yummy stuff…so good, and so fresh and so healthy tasting, definitely make this a stop on your list. We didn’t have a place to sit, but across the falafel bar is a drink place that if you buy a drink you can also eat outside by them. Or just don’t add fries and you can walk around eating while checking out this super cool market."

"Was looking for a kosher place around, and found this one. What a great falafel! I filled it up with amazing tiny eggplants, tahini, and spicy. The pita(imported) itself was nice, despite the fact they don't have a local kosher bakery that can bring a fresh pita every day. Shani is amazing Prices are reasonable. Recommending for everybody!"
