It was recommended to me by a vegetarian friend, who knows I'm Jewish and assumed I'd love it. So, inside and out its not exactly thrilling stuff in here but then again Falafel doesn't need to be: the food totally makes up for the lack of quality elsewhere. And thats what you come for. Yummy wraps, tons of hummus, salads, falafel obviously. The service is fine and the prices are low - a couple of pounds, which is less than you'd pay for some bland supermarket copy. A great alternative to the curries and kebabs which neighbour this tasty joint.

A return visit is also in order as the boss here has explained that another vegetarian option is 'sauce' with rice. Basically, they make a different vegetable stew fresh every day - green beans, tomatoes, okra and so on - which can be had as is as a vegetarian dish or served as a sauce over a non-vegetarian dish. And the price for the sauce and rice is £3.50 or something - win!

I love…read moreFalafel and the fact that one of my colleagues kept talking about going for Falafel made me think that I really need to stop in for lunch. On my errands in Broomhill, I made it over for my lunch. This place is strictly takeaway. The menu is quite straight forward, although I am sure there are so many combinations that you would never get bored. I went with the Falafel wrap with coriander hummus, bell peppers, cabbage, jalapenos, and Tahini. I grabbed a canned drink and altogether it was just under £4. Now that is a deal! I grabbed a menu to take back to the office. So far it is my favourite falafel place and I will definitely be back for more!

Atlas Shawarma secures a firm place in my heart for serving some of the best vegetarian food in…read moreManchester for the least amount of money! Find Atlas by looking for the short queue snaking out the door onto Wilmslow Road just before Claremont Road, opposite the renowned Jaffa. Atlas is a takeaway with premises just three metres wide and three stools to perch on by a side-counter. However, this is a very serious food business focused on doing just a few things well - fresh tandoor naan, kebabs and falafel (see photos for the menu). I can't speak for the kebabs, but talking to the Arabs in the queue, there were a lot of not just customers but *big* fans of this place! As cooked to order, the falafels take a little longer to serve but you can be served and out in 5 minutes from the time you order. Broadly speaking, I've found two very different types of falafel in Manchester - the stolid 'staple food' type (which need dips to be palatable) served at places such as Jaffa and Caspian; and the lush, green, melting type typified by Rusholme's eponymous Falafel café - Atlas's are of the Falfel-type! Fascinated, I watched through to the back of the kitchen as the custom falafel-making tool* dipped five times from the chickpea-and-fresh-herb mixture to the fryer. Once cooked, your falafel arrive on a naan bread which has just emerged from the tandoor for you to chose your salad, yoghurt and mayonnaise - I skip the onion and mayonnaise but the rest of it is good, with the tomatoes very juicy. Thing is, with food so clearly cooked to order, I feel it a huge sin to do other than perch on a stool and devour immediately! Such warm, clean, nutritious, juicy goodness! Lastly, at a modest £2 for a falafel wrap and 50p more for a kebab, you only need to be a little convinced by my review to checkout Atlas. Atlas also sells tandoor naan at 4 for £1. In a nice touch, neighbouring Marmara Grill allows sit-in customers to enjoy Atlas breads with their (Marmara) food. So many businesses are named after legends, but how many businesses are actually legendary? Watch Atlas's tandoor specialist at work (making breads in a spotless white dress shirt!), and you can see some of the commitment to hard work that the demi-god Atlas must have had as he accepted his punishment of supporting the weight of the Earth on his shoulders. Feel inspired to go forth into the world with similar integrity. *This is a small metal tool in the shape of a hemisphere on a stick, which seems to operate along the lines of an ice cream scoop.

Er, YUM. William G…read moresaid it all far better than I could, but what a find. I took myself here for birthday lunch thinking, 'Really? Could they be selling falafel sandwiches for a mere two quid? I'm not so sure...' And lo and behold, balls of fresh dough were being placed in the oven, nuggets of fresh falafel were crisping to order in the fryer, and the sign above the counter in this tiny joint read that indeed, they were £2. And it is absolutely four naan breads for a single pound. As you're whizzing by on the bus you might not even notice this place exists, but if you look carefully you're likely to see a queue snaking out of it - as there was when I pointed it out to my boyfriend upon travelling by recently. He noticed the crowd and took it as a good sign, and believe me it is. Gem! It's no frills, no neon, just a simple small Middle Eastern delight serving authentic snacks. I hopped straight back on a bus to the short trip to my house and enjoyed my falafel at home, and it was indeed good. Hot, fresh and made with great ingredients, including oven fresh bread... Between this and Falafel I'm now spoiled for choice for my favourite lunch dependent upon which end of the Curry Mile I'm at. Atlas is closer to my house, Falafel nearer Oxford Road. What more could one ask?

The filling involves red cabbage, potatoes and delicious cucumbery salad, I really liked it. Only snag is the wrap smelled like sick.

Unfortunate.

Fresh, tasty, convenient, cheap, quick...yes thanks!…read more I got the lunchtime xpress salad box for £4.50. This is absolutely massive and you're unlikely to finish it in one sitting I'd say! It comes with a range of really delicious salads (the carrot one was the standout for me), 4 falafels, a pot of houmous, small bit of feta and a thin pitta type wrap. I'm happy to report my wrap didn't smell of vomit unlike poor Natalie's, yikes! I enjoyed all of my salad box and was also highly impressed that the juices from the salad box didn't leak at all when I, optimistically, put it in my bag to take home! The rest if it still tasted really good when I ate it at home later. I also got a Passionista smoothie which was supposed to have mango, passion fruit and pineapple but I could only taste apple juice really. To the point I think they might have got my order wrong but it was tasty so I just drank it.
