Best Falafel North Vancouver in North Vancouver

Favorite place to grab donair and sit down to look outside!

The food is BOMB. Crispy, juicy, flavourful shawarma. Great sauces, amazing hummus.

They have good service and fast one but my shawarma was cold I don t know why,

Wow the falafel wraps here are incredible, best I ve ever had. And the baklava was an explosion of goodness in the mouth.

Great food and service

Everything here is great here but PLEASE BRING BACK THE KALAMATA OLIVES the black olives just don t even compare. I ve hardly been going since they changed over to the gross sliced black olives.

Great falafel wraps and speedy service

Lunch on mothers day, just visiting.The donair was the best i had ever tasted .Very helpful with my food allergies. Thank you

Very tasty falafel.

Nice, relax atmosphere. They definitely have the best falafels in the mainland never had a felafel that tasted like these ones. They taste so fresh and not filled with a lot of filler ingredients. It tastes my opinion super authentic.

Pretty good lamb... Id have to try it again to decide if I thought it was consistently good.

Friendly servers, clean place.

Some of the best falafel wrap I ve had in town! They even have knafeh and they have sweet sauce!

Knocks it outta the park every time. Can t get a wrap without adding dolma and baklava. The discovery of this place is gonna get the number on my scale higher but it s worth it. Yum!

The workers were extremely nice and helpful. The food is great and the interior is fun. Noor the manager and denis helped me out a lot as i did not know what to get. 10/10 will come back again.

Fantastic food and the lad making my wrap did it with style and flair can t beat it .

Our go-to place for delicious shawarma. Fast, friendly service.

My first meal in vancouver. And at 10pm. Good quality chicken shwarma and a loaded falafel wrap. Def go here if you need a bite late at night or anytime.

It was below average:(

Tasty, reasonably priced, and friendly staff make for a great dining choice. Theres nothing fancy about the restaurant, but thats not what matters. The focus is on delicious meals that will leave you wanting more, even if you are full. Definitely recommended for a Lonsdale lunch or dinner. Open long hours so its really convenient too. EDIT: This is one of our favourite go-to places for a quick, healthy, tasty meal. Staff are great! Parking: Street parking

First time, I stopped for a quick falafel wrap, it was ok. The 2 guys were more busy talking to each other than taking my order.

Great place for shawarma falafel and vegetarian choices. Great desert choices as well. Ive been going to their original location since 2002. Highly recommend them. Vegetarian options: Lots of options, Such as Salad, hummus,falafel and more!

This was a great falafel experience! Great staff, amazing food! Would recommend 10/10

Fast service, friendly staffs and well cooked meat in the shawarma/Donair. Do try! Vegetarian options: Falafel, veg samosa, appies and sweets Parking: I was lucky to find a spot right at the entrance of the restaurant Kid-friendliness: Yes

One of the best places for traditional Shawerma , ask for Syrian style

Best chicken shawarma on the north shore, hands down.

This place is to falafel what Lionel M. Is to football

Best chicken shawarma place in BC so far I had. Super taste.

Classic perfection is hard to beat. Makes you wonder how no one else comes close.

Great food and service! :)

Great shawarma and friendly staff! They also make their own pickled turnip and tabbouleh that I loved; most places out west don t have those I find. (I m from Ottawa where shawarma is very popular)

The lovely lady there made me two of the most dank sandwiches! Thank you so much. These guys do it so much better than donair dude

Try their beef shawarma if youre a meat lover.

I tried this place because there were a couple people waiting in line so I figured it was legit. Just standard Vancouver shawarma fare.

I have been searching for a good shawarma location in Vancouver for years and I ve finally found it. This place is consistently amazing, food is fresh, meat is cut to order (not in a bucket like most places around town) and the staff is incredible. Never had a bad experience here and would 10/10 recommend to anyone, this is a 2 times a week for lunch type of place for me.

Nice couple

Ordered the chicken shawarma platter,a couple dolma and falafel. Chicken was super bland and the falafel even more so. Zero seasoning to it, just tasted like straight fried bread. Dolma tasted like the ones that come from a tin, definitely not made in house.

Literally the best falafel I ve ever had. They actually make it when you order. Unlike other places with hard and dry falafels, these are soft, moist and so tasty. And another nice part is the young boys working their who are friendly and generous with the portions of food. They pile the meat on your plate and wraps. And their Greek salad and the drinkable yogurt are so refreshing. It truly is the Best Falafel!

Great falafel and generally great food

Love the food here, staff are very friendly

Absolutely Delicious! Friendly staff, good value. Chicken Shawarma platter is addictive. Food : 5/5

Always delicious vegetarian plates and chicken schwarma. Their tabbouleh salad is great!

Pretty average chicken shawarma.

My boy Bjorn says it s hype. I trust him

We came here last year when we were travelling and the food is delicious, the staff are friendly too! Would highly recommend! Also great prices

Very nice place , and the workers were soo nice

Good chicken Shawarma plate. Young guy serving. At first I thought the price board was a little high. But when I got my chicken cut fresh and piled up I have no complaints. Proper shawarma here, not coming out of a bin. Tasty and juicy with all the proper sauces and fixings. Mmmmm, very nice. Could do without the rap music but whatever, food was good.

I had the chicken shawarma plate. The portion was a good size and the quality of the food was excellent.

Excellent falafel, served imaginatively as hearts but more importantly very fresh and tasty, clean oil used in preparation. Pleasant service not over the top. My favourite falafel destination. Recommend it without reservations . Well done!

Pretty good! Lacking in flavor a bit but all ingredients seemed fresh. Garlic sauce could use more garlic, hummus is good. Potatoes were very yummy.

The falafel sandwich was so disappointing, the sandwich had 2 pieces of uncooked small falafel that you cant even taste, I paid $12 for pita bread and some salad for this so called falafel sandwich. A disgrace. Customer service is friendly but needs improvement, atmosphere nice.

It is perfect and especially i recommend for who look for middle east dishes.

Tabbouleh salad was way too salty. Couldnt even finish that small portion. Shawarma wrap was not great but acceptable

Chicken shawarma plate was edible. The tabouli and garlic side really carried this dish, as the chicken was quite bland and the plain white rice overboiled and mushy. I had expected the rice to be seasoned at least with turmeric but it was just plain, boiled, mushy rice. I also received one stale crumpled pita. It made me sad. Portion was decent, though it s mostly rice with some chicken dumped on top and a side of hummus. Not worth the money. What a shame.

Very impressed - delicious. I got lamb shawarma with some falafel inside too.

Food: taste not bad; but for $13 plus tax, the shawarma wasn t even grilled. Just a soft wrap, which I can make better than that at home. By end of finishing the wrap, the bread part was all mushy and falling apart! I m not sure why these food businesses take customers for granted and think they can serve whatever to carry on with their business. I definitely value the money I spend and won t go back to a place if I m not satisfied. Service: not very customer friendly, no formal greeting or at least a fake smile. Atmosphere: the store was clean. Arabic music on. If they just serve a better quality food, they can retain their customers. Verdict: not going back again.

Awesome falafel wrap!

I ordered the chicken shawarma because it was delicious, but the ends of the meat were hard so it was a bit sour. The spinach bread was delicious.

Delicious!

Great shawarma wrap!

Five stars if the shawarma was slightly bigger, but it s certainly the best tasting around

Great food, (not just excessive sauce like some places) and wonderful value

After leaving a friends place, we were craving some middle eastern food and heard that there was a good place nearby and when we went there, there were only a few people there so were able to order quickly. I decided to order the halloume wrap. The food was reasonably priced. It was DELICIOUS! The toppings I chose were hummus, lettuce, garlic sauce, and filling. The taste complemented each other well and I could taste the freshness. It was still warm when I ate it. The cheese was nicely toasted. The wrap was a bit too thin, but it was good enough. The food was delicious and I enjoyed it.

This place is a winner. Delicious, super fresh shawarma platter with all the fixings and choice of sauces. Environmentally friendly packaging too. I ll be back regularly.

Very good food and service, will be back for sure!

If I could give this place 0/5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. I got the falafel platter and everything was wrong about it. The falafel, salad, tabouli, pickles, and hummus were all salty to the point where it becomes a health concern. Also, they put the falafel in the middle of the hummus. By the time I got home to eat it, it was all mushy. Tip to the owner/cook: too much salt does not equal delicious food. Focus on improving the other ingredients instead. I don t understand their best falafel name. Do they even know what the word best mean? This was my first and definitely my last time.

I love this place fresh food all the time and fresh falafel i recommended for every one

Tasty food and fresh friendly staff

I decided to give this place a second chance after the media person replied back to my first review (which was 2 stars). Its possible they were having an off night when I was there before, but the falafel was much better on trip #2. The chicken plate was decent, probably about average and exactly what youd expect, enough to satisfy at a fair price. Anyway, your mileage may vary.

Amazingly delicious Chicken and Falafel Shawarma.

Great food nice people, it lives up to its name as best falafel they come in a heart and fresh from the fryer. I hated falafel when I all I had was store bought oven falafel. The hummus is the best I had. The business also has a very inspiring story of it came to be. Overall would highly recommend. Try the chicken shawarma plate. My dad and I enjoy sitting at the bar.

Really the best falafal

Decent falafel, not best. Made fresh to order with fried or baked options. I chose fried. Falafel was bland and a bit dry. This is not an herb falafel (greenish in color) and tasted under-seasoned. Texture was mashy and unfortunately dry. Chicken Shawarma was also fresh and tasty, but again under-seasoned.

Wow these guys made me the best chicken shawarma I have had in years!! Over the top flavour!!! Make sure you get lots of napkins!!

Wow, delicious donair and the hummus is amazing.

Amazing baklava!

A great place for authentic middle eastern food, an incredible shawarma wrap and the plate is even better, it s only better because it s bigger, better food than almost all restaurants including high end restaurants, although not a place for a romantic candle light meal, but still very nice inside, if you are hungry and want a quality meal this is your place I guarantee it.

Delicious and fresh food. Friendly service. Will definitely be back for more.

Chicken Shawarma is a MUST

Not sure if I had a bad experience but the food was definitely disappointing. The hummus tasted very acidic, as did the hot sauce (I asked for extra) - too much vinegar perhaps? The rice was overcooked, dry and a small bit was burnt. The salad didnt have an dressing or the dredsing had no flavour. The overall portion was okay. The spinach pie lacked flavour also.

Ordered the chicken shawarma plate to go. It was good and tasty. Price was reasonable for the portion you get as well.

Great taste! Fast! But the wrap is not big enough for a shawarma place. Still filling though.

The flavors of the food and sauces are amazing!!!

I had a chicken shawarma wrap. It was good, but nothing special. The price was good though. Id eat here again if I happened to be passing by and needed a bite, but wont go out of my way to come back.

I had the falafel wrap. I found it fresh and tasty.

Showed up at opening and employee said there s not gonna be anything ready for 20 minutes at least they don t have anything out. Went to their competition down the street who had everything ready!

Had a great time with my family, great food and freshly made

Such delicious food, excellent service Vegetarian options: Falafel, salads, tabbouleh Parking: Street parking and back

The chicken shawarma was hopeless. tasted really bad. the lamb donair was good spinach pie lacked flavour and doughy,

First time trying this place and I will try it again n again. One of the best place in North van for fresh falafel and great service.

1st time visit for us. I actually had a falafel (deep fried, not baked). It was good. Well be back. 08/09 Well we did go back and its prolly the best falafel on the north shore imo of course.

absolutely amazing and flavourful Shawarma. The chicken and tabouleh are to die for. Highly recommend! Tabouleh instead of hummus!

The chicken shawarma was not fresh at all. The lamb was just horrible I could not eat even half of it. I will not be returning to this place until they improve the food quality!!

The best of the best falafel and shawarma I have ever had, it is always delicious so clean restaurant and so fast service also very friendly staff love it

Really great falafel, good amount of all toppings in their falafel wrap. Some places jack your wrap full of lettuce, these guys good the right amount.

I ordered chicken shawarma plate and falafel wrap. Both were very good and in good portions. Price is reasonable and people are nice. They were open till late night which is great

Best spot in Vancouver, Jad has the best Costumer service. Food is on point highly recommended!

Great people, great falafel. Im vegetarian, so usually get the fried falafel in a wrap, which is always fresh, flavourful and never dry.

Some of the best shawarma on the shore and perhaps the city.

The falafels were not freshly made they even didn t try to warm it up and it was cold in the middle. The Shawarma was burnt on the corners and there was a big chunk of chicken bone in my food. Overall not even a medium quality food.

Clean, low-key shawarma joint with an impressive number of options. They maintain Syrian shawarma authenticity while also having Western sauces and sides.

What a great find! So good, and the owner was so kind. Ten of us came in at once and everything was ready really quickly. Fresh tabouli, perfectly fried falafel yum.

$13 dollars for a beef Donair..

Authentic classic donair comfort food with awesome people

Finally a good Falafel place! And really good quality and good tasting food.

Very good falafel and Donair place! I just ate their falafel wrap and it was amazing. The place is very clean and the staff was very friendly. I also bought a jar of hummus to take home and it was amazing so if you want homemade hummus check this place out because you could get better and real hummus for the same price as what you would pay in supermarket.

luck brought me here and let me tell you, I am here to stay. I have never tasted shawerma that good in Canada before (including Toronto) First order was a random doordash order for a shawarma plate, its was soo good I thought it was a fluke. I ordered the shawerma wrap today off doordash as well and it was soo good it made me open my laptop, google this place and give it a 5 star review. dont be sleeping on this!

OKAY WOW!!! Amazing falafel and baklava. Mohammed was so friendly. I got the baked falafel wrap and it was the best one I ve had in a looooong time. Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavour. We even had the option for a whole wheat tortilla. Definitely coming back! Thank you!

Finally.... Yes Finally a good Shawarma/ Falafel place in North Vancouver. I use to Live Downtown and had Aladdin Cafe, Babylon and Paramount at my fingertips, when I moved to North Vancouver I was so disapointed in the restaurants here. This place is amazing, easily in my Top 3 places in the entire Lower Mainland. I always get the Chicken plate on commercial Drive so I knew what to get! Massive portions and thier hummus and tabouleh is the best Ive ever had. Its so refreshing to not have to eat at Donair Dude ( yuck) and Yummy Donair ( got sick there once). Best Falafel will do great here on Lonsdale. Congrats on being the best Shawarma on the North Shore!

Fresh ingredients, delicious flavours. This is now my family s go to restaurant! So glad we have a proper Middle Eastern restaurant on the north shore

Been waiting for a good shawarma place on the north shore. This place is great! Large portions, friendly and food is amazing. Will definitely be going back!

The smell of the cooking chicken pulled me in, the taste keeps me coming back

Delicious and fresh.

First place on the north shore ive found with pickled turnip - everything is delicious - would be nice if they have the beef/lamb as a rotisserie rather than current inception.

Best service Best food Family owned You can t taste the difference I always come back with I m in north vancouver

The falafel would better if you add more spcial spices. Also, it would be great if the staff put a smile on their faces and be more welcoming.

I tried many donair places in town. This place is by far the best. All the toppings are fresh and delicious. Chicken is very tasty. The only downside was that the lamb slices seemed to be processed meat.

Absolutely the best place around super authentic delicious

the donare was tasty

The food was so delicious, it was the best shawarma I have ever had in vancouver. The service was great also, they were very nice and the order came on time. Best luck for you guys

Best donair Ive had in North Vancouver

Excellent clean place (very important to me) with the best tasting shawarma and falafal plus all the toppings! Nice thinner pita as I despise thick fat bread that is filled with little content. This one delivers both quantity and quality at an excellent price. Nice staff as well. Definitely going there many times.

Best shawarma I ve ever had in my life. I would strongly recommend to try this place!!

The best shwarma on the North Shore!!! The falafel is fantastic too. I literally used to drive downtown to get shwarma now I dont have to!! And they are open (relatively) late = ) Friendly service. 5 stars all the way.

Grubb Guru here with a warning. This place has highs and lows. My critique is as follows: Meat to veg ratio was accurate tho lacking in both areas. Chicken spice was well prepared, extra charge per piece of falafel....get bent. Onion size was larger than most would enjoy but red instead of white so it balances out. Price point wasnt bad for what it was but isnt competitive enough visa vie size/ dollar value. I can say the sauce game was tight.... Very nice not overdosed but also not lacking. The one piece of advice I left with them was to step up the pita game, ppl need good wrapping. An un steamed Safeway style whole wheat wrap does not suffice. An enjoyable pita can, and will, make or break a donair spot. One mans opinion check for yourself. Grabability was great but note it was undersized

Really good! Love the size of the wraps - not too big but still filling. The ingredients are excellent quality and well distributed so every bite is really flavorful, not like some places where you end up with lettuce at the top and everything else at the bottom. Especially love the pickled turnips and the falafels which are really fresh and tasty (and heart shaped :) ).

Best Falafel. It is what it says it is!

So happy this place has opened up in north van, went to their kitsilano location all the time

It is really the best, I order last time shawarma wrap it was amazing juicy chicken and the taste very good, I love this place the best in town <3

the falafel was horribly undercooked and left me feeling nauseous for the rest of the day. I was getting the sweats right after because something about this was not safe to eat. One of the worst falafels Ive ever had.

Legit best falafel Ive had and value for money. And Ive been to 20+ countries.

chicken shawarma Wrap 10/10

Food is really good however staff not very welcoming and one of them not adhering to mask mandate.

What a shame. Terrible falafel. Also do yourself a favour and have some training instead of throwing your food at customers that is inedible in a soggy paper bag. Wish I could give a better rating to a local restaurant because I love supporting local businesses but this experience was horrendous. :(

Just eat subway. This donair is not worth a dollar. This donair guy is so cheap. I couldnt even taste meats.

We order 3 doners plate from uber eats from this place the other day. It was not definitely a Doner kebab with real meat but it was some pieces of cheap processed cold cut. We trow all out as I would never feed my kid with something like that. The place refused to make a refund.we are so mad

Never consistent, sometimes the hummus and salads are too sour sometimes bland. Last time had chicken platter and it was terrible.

Awesome snack

Falafels here are so good... Crispy, light, and a bit fluffy! My husband normally isnt a fan of falafels but he downs them so fast when we order them from here lol. I also get the chicken plate with rice and that is just as heavenly! Never had a bad experience here and the price is nice too!

Very tasty shawarma and they are generous with the portions, even the protein. Love, love, love the hummus. Consistent quality.

I got Falafel wrap, samosa, and baclava. Falafel wrap was not the best Ive had. It was ok, lukewarm, not very flavourful. Samosa was very good. Baclava is ok, also not the best Ive had
