The King Of Falafel

Dreadful unfriendly service and chilli sauce had little to no spice in it. Had run out of a lot of items.

Stopped here yesterday to grab coffee on our way to the British Museum. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the coffee was good — and about a pound cheaper than Pret a Manger or Nero! I’d come here again!

Muy buena comida y a un precio más que accesible. Si bien no es un servicio muy elaborado la atención es muy buena. Riquísimos Falafels.

Decent wraps, but the falafel itself always seems a bit stale/​soggy, similar to what you could get from a frozen falafel at a store. They have a good student discount, and they’re open later than most places in the area. It’s not bad for £3 or £4 for a wrap, but it’s not the greatest falafel you’ll ever have.

I had the Lebanese falafel (you can also choose Moroccan) which comes with tabbouleh. Delicious. The wrap is thin and slightly roasted so you get a slight crunch. Not the Best Buy very good indeed. It’s also very affordable under 4 pounds.

Best falafel I’ve ever had! Very fresh and great quality ingredients. When I asked the guy what he recommended, he said everything because he truly believed everything was good — and after trying the food, I believe he’s right! The wraps get toasted like a panini which makes it warm and crispy! So delicious!

The votes must be from the owner’s friends, because everything about this place is sub-​par. Not fresh, not tasty, and unfriendly service.

Great find… had a delicious and very affordable (under £20 for a family of 4!) meal before heading over to the British Museum. Wraps, falafel and salads were all great.

Am I the only one who found the falafel here cold and stale/​soggy?

Great Falafel, Moroccan Tea was spot on. Note that they are CASH ONLY but wraps were under £4 and the platters were £5.

They really are the kings of falafel. You’ve got to be careful if you plan to make such a grand statement. They’ve managed to match the claim.
This quaint little place is a hidden gem. Surprised there are not more people writing about it considering how busy it is!
Amazing falafel wraps — both the Lebanese and Moroccan are fantastic. The chili sauce is perfect and not so strong that it kills the taste of your food. It does have a zing though — so if you’re not fond of spicy, ask them to put it on the side.
Crazy to find a place that sells such fresh and tasty falafel and lamb wraps loaded with veggies and toasted to perfection, all for a fiver. Their assortment of coffees are all about half the price of anywhere else in London and still delicious.
You’re in for a treat with the food and the friendly servers.

The past few years I’ve been coming here pretty regularly and the wraps are ALWAYS great. My personal favourite is the lamb kebab wrap on lebanese bread, with extra chilli and garlic sauce. Comes out delicious every time, highly recommend this or their Farringdon counterpart to anyone!

This is the BEST falafel I have had. At a reasonable prince, you get a big portion.
Absolutely delicious and great friendly service !
I couldn’t believe in the year I have lived here and in the Bloomsbury area weekly, I never discovered this place until now !

Yep, as their name suggests, this shop serves falafel that must be worthy of royalty!
— You can buy wraps crammed full of perfect falafel and squished full of salad
— The man that served me today was really speedy (multitasking to make 4 orders at the same time) There might be a line coming out the door, but it still doesn’t take too long.
— Although you should definitely try the Lebanese falafel, I recommend paying an extra 90p for some haloumi cheese. It is grilled to perfection.
— They add chilli, but not too much, so it’s not too spicy for lunch (your breath won’t wilt your co-workers…but maybe eat a ‘yelp mint’ just to be sure!)
— There is a good range of meat kebabs and salads, but seriously, try the falafel first!
I’m not sure how it has managed to stay under the Unilocal radar, as my colleague said he comes here quite often, and it is always busy, constantly delicious, and yet is cheap. This combination makes me think that they deserve their title of King of Falafel.
