Best falafel I've ever had, I'm only in the area for a few more days and will definitely eat here again before we leave. We got the falafel platter and it was enough for my husband and I to split, the owner was so nice and threw in extra pita bread for us. The falafel was flavorful and crispy, and the accompanying salads were fresh made and delicious. I'm already getting hungry again just thinking about it ... can't wait to visit again! read more

Walking in I didn't expect much from a tiny falafel restaurant, but was I ever mistaken. I was greeting by the dude in the front, I told him I had never been here so what should I take and he brought me this delicious bundle of joy. It was a falafel in a pita with all the fixings, red cabbage, turnip, I may have tasted some tabouli in there but damn was it ever delicious. The falafel itself was nice and flavourful, and the pita it was in was soft and really complimented the falafel perfectly!!! I have never had a falafel like that in my life. It total it was about 9 bucks with a water bottle which was fare, in just sad I hadn't taken another one lol, I'm glad I stopped by this small shop and I will definite be back! Ohhhh and the gentleman made me try these potato latkes, wow!!! read more

Holy cannoli this is some amazing veggie fare. I had not had the pleasure of enjoying veggie shishtaouk or shawarma until visiting these guys and I wasn't disappointed. As other folks have mentioned, the portions are generous, fresh and delicious. In fact, this is one of the few times I've seen my boyfriend not be able to finish his meal (due to size, of course.) Everything was also quite cheap, with the exception of the pastries (but let me tell you, those $7 cookies were damn worth it!) It would be amazing if they could accommodate more seating, particularly because it's clear that people come in from all over town for their noms, but I reckon once their little patio space opens up again it won't be so tight in there. read more

Their food is out of. This world delicious! We have tried their: Asian style vegetarian plate:. Amazing Falafel plate: Amazing Falafel pita:. Amazing Shish taouk plate:. Amazing Baba ganouj:. Best I have hade Pita bread:. So good Their portions are so generous, really generous!! By far the best vegetarian resto in the province!! read more

I don't understand why everyone is making a big deal about this place ,it's just a falafel :) well it's fresh but sandwiches they make is disgusting ,so called pita bread they use is soooo thick but there is a reason for that because first they put in the falafel along with anything they find plus the sauce sandwich becomes like a balloon after the first bite your face hands fingers become greasy and disgusting . Plus restaurant it self is so small they have this long table in the middle of the restaurant and they stuff like 100 customers in there you can't breathe , I was sitting with my wife and there is absoulutly no gap with the person sitting next to me it's like we are sitting shoulder to shoulder . After we left our jackets , shirts even our hair smelled Like greesy food. read more

Excellent! I don't eat meat so it's not always easy to find a quick lunch. I had a medium 5 salad plate. Everything was fresh and delicious. I think I could have had 7 salads! So many great choices. I will be back on my next visit to Montreal. read more

I'm vegan and live in the neighbourhood so this is my go to splurge place when I get lazy or want a pickup. Everyone is friendly and cares, the selection is all good food. The food is consistently excellent. I'd give 5 stars except since last summer for unknown (and I've asked) reasons, they frequently run out of the best stuff like schnitzel or wings exactly when I go for some comfort food, and exactly at supper time, sometimes even lunch. Hope they get a handle on demand ... read more

Loooove their "chicken wings" and their vegan meats are absolutely to die for and they make it in house!

Hands down, the best falafel I've ever had and maybe the best Montreal has to offer. Worth a stop if you are about to get onto highway and worth making a destination if you're not. Good array of tasty salads. I had the trio (Falafel all dressed with two sides of salad). Service is friendly, even charming and I liked watching the food channel while eating alone. read more

Food is usually excellent. They need to figure out their staffing. The owner and manager are professional and efficient. Other people give off the impression of not wanting to be there. It ends up being a much longer and tense process than it needs to be. read more

Amazing food healthy delicious all around great resto. I just love this place. Would recommend to all my friends.

Simply Wonderful!!! If you haven't tried this Falafel then you have absolutely no idea what Falafel tastes like!!! Finally I can say that this is the best Falafel in town !!! Friendly staff and lovely place. It's small but it is nice! I believe it's "ok" for people with kids, but not with a stroller really. I would definitely go out of my way to get a sandwich there, it is one of those places that you would make the trip to have a bite, I will be going again next week and will update my review. Highly recommend it to all read more

Service is excellent! Food is very well prepared. Very little waiting time. Delicious! Vegetarian!

Delicious! Authentic Israeli style falafel and sides. And I would know, being from Israel and all ;) owner super friendly. They also have vegetarian general tso and vegetarian Shawarma all made from shittake mushrooms. So good. Meat eaters would enjoy them as well. And their sweets... Don't even get me started. Fresh homemade chocolate rolls with halva in the middle. Now I don't have to go all the way to Israel to get my fresh halva fix. YUM! read more

The location is small and tight, and the parking situation isn't great, but it's worth the trouble. Very authentic Israeli style falafel and salads. Tasty, filling, and not over priced. The hot sauce is HOT so be careful. Everything seems fresh and made daily. Stay away from the coffee though, that's the only thing that I didn't enjoy. Service is friendly and quick, and they do take out as well. They serve only vegetarian foods, and they do everything right. I will be back there for sure! read more

This place was a HUGE FIND. We were told about this place from someone who is related to the owner back in NY. We were soooooooooo happy we went. It was the best falafel I have had since my trip to Israel! So many gluten free options. It was totally worth going out of our way to go. If you like this kind of food it is a must go. read more

Small, unassuming place in a part of town that you probably don't go to, but make the trip. The all vegetarian menu does NOT disappoint. Everything is prepped freshly for each order in front of you, Shanni is the best waitress ever, friendly customers striking up conversations with other customers over how good the food is. We really enjoyed our visit and will absolutely go again. read more

Delicieux falafel pita , many choices, tiny place but very busy, fast and friendly. I like it ! read more

Do not miss this place! The falafel was amazing, all of the sides were incredible and fresh. Thee have some Asian inspired all shiitake mushroom "meat" style mains that will blow your mind. All I can say is GO and just try as many things as you can. read more

3 if is were able to eat the shawarma and shish taouk without realizing until another customer asked that the restaurant is indeed vegetarian. The falafel is the best I've ever had. And the babka is perfect. read more

An Israel style falafel and other eastern med food. Small n very popular, so try to go a little before or after lunch n dinner rush. Good for take out n catering. Not cheap but two can eat a dinner for one. Perhaps 1 extra pita bread. Pita differs from most Arab pita, being thicker. They open the pita n stuff it rather than do a roll up. Don't mind the occasional yelling. Part of the shtick. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I heard about it through a friend and decided to give it. Try and let me tell you that it is THE BEST falafel in Montreal. Its a cute little spot that can seat a few people. The staff is so inviting and nice! They make sure you are getting everything and anything that you need! The presentation of the salad bar is really appealing and looks so yummy! I love the fact that it is all vegan! I usually get a falafel plate and it ends up being way to much for me so i take the rest home The portions are really big and the price doesnt break the bank! Its really hard to find places with excellent quality and taste at a decent price! I love this place and I highly recommend it! read more

Ordered the shawarma hummus plate and the falafel hummus plate. Service was quick and friendly. A little on the expensive side. The place is tiny and doesn't have great seating arrangements. Will return for the falafels as they are spot on. Didn't really enjoy the shawarma. read more

Falafel St-Jacques - Vegetarian Near Me - Lachine, Quebec

STAY AWAY !!!! IT'S ALL MINE LOL One of the best spots in town, bar none. Delish, authentic, affordable, yadayada just don't tell them how good they are they might get too confident ;-) read more

The best falafel pitas in Montreal (in my opinion, but it would be hard to argue that it isn't at least the best in the South West part of the island) !! They're stuffed with lots of crunchy red cabbage, cucumbers and other veggie deliciousness, the falafels are a perfect mix of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and I'm literally in love with their garlic sauce and spicy sauce that they put in the pitas. Plus, the portions are HUGE (not just the pitas, but also their plates), I often can't finish my pita in one sitting, so it's perfect for lunch and an eventual afternoon snack ;) Apart from the falafel pitas/plates, the salads are really tasty and fresh. They also sell baked goods, I have yet to try them but they look delicious. I have nothing negative to say about this place, the service is fast, the food is great and everything is vegetarian (yay), it's really amazing :) read more

My favorit falafel place! they have a gluten free 'Lafa"!!! Always fresh always great and always with a mile !

I have heard of this place a while ago.. never made it, until I able to.. I ordered the Falafel plate and yes! they were correct! the Falafel had a very good taste non like others! it tasted very unique and it was very full-filling and also their 2$ small latte is perfect! the service was amazing! friendly and quick! They let me try their vegan sweet and sour chicken and it tasted like real chicken! I told them I will go back and I will definitely go eat and try more foods! ps, if your vegan this is your spot!! enjoy read more

Falafel St-Jacques - Yummmmm ... - Vegetarian Near Me - Lachine, Quebec

let me start off by saying not a huge fan of falafels. when deciding where to go for lunch Falafel usually never makes the cut. Friend of mine said I should try this place so I did. I ordered the spicy falafel sandwich. I had it all dressed and this thing was busting out! You will not walk away hungry after having one of these bad boys. it was by far the best falafel I've ever had. super friendly service, and reasonably priced. next time I decide what to have for lunch , Falafel will certainly be in the conversation. read more

Excellent falafel sandwich - they add some spice so even the regular was a little spicy - but it was super good We did take out - the tables are communal and a little tight. Be sure to park in a lot before you to get to the shop - worth the trouble read more

Never had a really good felafel until I ate here. Best thing about this place is they obviously put their hearts into their preparation of everything. Never had a meal so filling! And yet so healthy at the same time. It's inspiring to eat healthy and love it at the same time. Ps. I love to eat meat and fish. So this place is good for everyone! read more

we were so pleased when we first tried this place. sandwich was amazing. but we noticed it was good only when the boss was there. other staff is .... awful. sandwich was saggy and was made before we ordered. two times in a row we asked for spicy sauce. nothing. staff was arrogant while we were polite. not returning read more

food is good considering there are no vegan options in Chabanel. however, it is quite overpriced. the service is sweet and friendly when everyone but the one guy who takes his passive aggressive anger out on customers isn't working. an establishment shouldn't have him working front of house. leaves a sour taste in my mouth everytime I have to deal with him. pastries are kinda burnt. read more

Tasted good, however the cook behind the counter was an asshole. Very rude. I think it was because we were white Americans. Or maybe because the World Cup was on. But he essentially complained about my friends taking too long to order when they were out of everything they requested. And then ordered me to find a seat as soon as I was handed my food. I'm still kind of mad about the way he acted tbh lol. The falafel was banging though. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place, we were in the neighborhood. We were both so impressed with the quality and supreme freshness ! The freshest food I've had since i was in Cali ! I had the falafel with three salads - all the salads i tried were delicious. Definitely worth trying ! read more

Great vegetarian food. I love their Mongolian beef and shish taouk. The restaurant is small and tight but very cozy and staffs r very welcoming. Worth try! read more

Came for the advertised Cappuccino on the front door and was told rudely to go to Tim Hortons because this was a falafel place. Both women employees (blonde hair and the black lady) were super rude, the other guy was friendly. read more

So so happy to have a place to have some good falafel. The spicy is actually spicy. The falafel balls were made fresh and light, the way they are supposed to be. Left here happy and thinking about coming back. read more

The food is 5 stars for sure! This was one of the best falafel sandwich I have ever had. Salads are fresh and amazing. The location is random and small . This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. read more
