Who says Paris is expensive? L'As is a great value and serves super hearty falafel. I'm not a fan of eating while standing in the street so I preferred to dine inside at a table. It costs a couple euros more but I thought it was well worth it after walking two miles to get there. read more

This place needs no introduction as its toted as the best falafel in Paris, by locals and tourists. The line is out the door all the time, so it definitely has the buzz. The food lives up to the reputation. The falafel sandwich is perfectly constructed with all the fixings. Also tried the lamb shwarma and that was delicious as well. Dont let the long line scare you, it moves quickly and is worth the wait! read more

Great place to check out if you want something not French. Fantastic lamb shawarma, the fries and falafels. Place has huge lines but they manage it well and the time quoted is much longer then you actually wait. read more

Long overdue review since November but we stopped by here after a long walk around Paris and took it back to our Airbnb. You can read all the reviews and it's definitely agreeable. It was AMAZING! Probably the best falafel pita I've ever had. When we return to Paris, I'm definitely going to be back here! read more

The guy outside tells people: this is the best falafel in Paris, and you know, he's probably right. Which also may make it some of the best food of its type in the world. I've had the falafel, delicate, perfectly seasoned crisp little nuggets, and the delicious crisped shawarma, both as sandwiches and plates, and the thing is, while I think the individual ingredients are delicious, there's something magical about how everything combines together, melt in your mouth eggplant, the crisp shredded cabbage, the various sauces. It's magic. Add to this a fun, buzzy environment and very handsome waiters, and that it's easy on your travel budget, and this is a must experience in Paris. read more

Omg. So let me start with stating my husband and kids love Falafels. Every where we go no matter what country we are in they have falafels. I'm not such a fan. I never finish them and stick to Schwarmas which I never really finish either. But this place, we ate everything. The kids got an order of 10 falafel balls each, my husband got a falafel in a pita and I got the schwarma in a pita. Absolutely delicious. The white sauce was tasty and their red spicy sauce and green sauce was also good. This place is busy and the seating is tight but we got seated almost immediately. Even with the amount of people the food came out fast. Definitely stop by this place if you are ever in Paris!!! read more

It may be heresy for me to say, but ... i've had better falafel, on several occasions, and would not feel compelled to go back the next time I'm in Paris. read more

The falafel was AMAZING! Don't be fooled by the other falafel places around that look fancier - this hole in the wall place is the best. Apparently it gets super busy during lunch time, but we went around 1500 and there was no wait. Fluffy falafel fried to perfection with super fresh veggie slaw, tomatoes, and eggplant. My friend and I split the sandwich (it's huge) and now we are heading towards the crepe place next door! read more

This place is delicious. I highly recommend it. The line went fast. Best tzatziki I've ever had. We had chicken steak, felafel, hummus, and sweet potatoes. read more

The red sauce and the green sauce I wish I could take those home. The falafel is yummy but the sauces are even more delish. Definitely among one of the best falafels. read more

Best falafel I've ever had. It was very different than what I've been used to in the states. There are 2 shops with same name. They were busy so no seating availability. We ended up eating in the street. Best Paris experience. Definitely try this place if you're in Paris. read more

Awesome, the area was so cool to. Can't wait to go back to Paris to eat there again.

My husband was in the mood for some food with a little spice as we were roaming the Marais so we hopped into this little restaurant when we were told by the purveyor that its the best in the world! He was not lying! I am no expert of falafel but it was the best I've had! Filled pita to the brim with delicious vegetables and condiments. I had the chicken liver version and loved it! Quick and efficient service. Place is very casual and food served on simple paper plates as I recall. Would return again but beware the lines. The day before, there was a line extending several doors down the street! read more

This place is normally very busy, so try to come during odd hours. It's well worth it - the falafel is delicious. Be adventurous and taste many different side dishes, you'll be glad you did! read more

Just fine! Love the busy vibe. The food is good! But I've had better falafel and shawarma at home.

We came here with the intention of trying both the shawarma and the falafel sandwiches but after seeing the massive size of them, opted for just the shawarma. It is served in a pita that is stuffed to the gills with shredded cabbage, carrot, zucchini, and maybe something else, and then piled high with meat. I was delighted to see that there was also meat distributed throughout the interior of the sandwich; I was worried that the second half the meal would be just pita and veggies. Everything is topped off with white and red sauces, to both of which we nodded when offered. The once flat pita is a huge almost spherical mass of a sandwich when it is handed to you. Pro tip: use a fork for the top half, and then switch to taking bites when you can manage to wrangle it into your mouth. read more

No frill fresh falafel. Line moves fast so don't be intimidated. Get it to-go and walk a few steps into a "secret garden" and eat on a park bench with the birds! Get it spicy (if you eat spicy, it's not really spicy at all). Energetic staff. Is it really the best falafel in town? Hard to say, haven't tried all the other ones on this street. But it's definitely up there, so it's worth trying. read more

So, I've been to Chez Hanna down the street last weekend on Saturday when L'as was closed, and absolutely loved it. But given how everyone talks to awesomely about L'as, I decided to give it a try on day where it wasn't actually closed. The falafel sandwich is pretty good. I would say 3.5 stars, but I do think the Chez Hanna one is much better, just because the eggplants are warm and the portion a little bit fuller. :D read more

They are right the falafel was amazing even though in mostly a carnivore. I also got the chicken and lamb shawarma as well and that was also amazing. Everything was great here and the service system they have is very efficient. Love this little gem. read more

We endured the line up, took our much anticipated bite into our falafel and it disappointed. Maybe I put too much emphasize on the hype or maybe I've had better back in Vancouver, BC, but I'll give it another try and see if my rating can change to a 4. read more

These people don't need the help of this review. That's some great shawarma, and they aren't even called L'As du Shawarma. My wife had falafel, I had shawarma (mostly because of the cutscene after the Avengers Movie, I don't think that's a spoiler warning at this point). These were great! The staff realized the line was long and started taking orders in line to reduce wait time, which was pretty smart. We also ordered a Coke Zero. Which was a Coke Zero. I don't know what you expect out of a Coke Zero, but it was that. read more

The best falafel in the neighborhood. But of course popular, packed and don't expect too much service. They deal with finding a spot for you and preparing good food. That's all... read more

Not worth the walk. It was decent, but not the best I've ever had. I was a little disappointed because we walked for a while and waited in a long line and then it wasn't anything to write home about. It's cheap and good if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this. Eat french food instead! read more

Delicious! I ordered the falafel plate and the mixed meat plate and both were fantastic. The falafel was perfectly crunchy and the pickled vegetables and cukes fresh. The mixed meat was seasoned well. Really enjoyed the liver in it. I'm not a big fan of lamb as its too gamey tasting for me but otherwise all delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for something simple and good. They also have an English menu. read more

DELICIOUS! Recommend the falafel over the beef. We ate here for lunch, dinner, and lunch again during our stay in Paris. Favorite meal during our 10 day stay. We probably would have eaten here more had we discovered it earlier during out trip. Worth the wait in line. read more

The hot sauce makes this!!! The Fallafel's were fresh but a tad bit over cooked for my taste. Still....YUM YUM and great service. Worth the line. read more

I did really enjoy this place. The eggplants in the chicken schwarma were a surprisingly good decision, I believe the eggplants come in all the other options too. Also, they have pictures of lenny kravitz ... or craig david... one or the other with his thumbs up. Apparently this is his favorite falafel restaurant in the world. The price was extremely reasonable. Everyone told me I MUST eat at this place, in front of the Eiffel Tower if possible, so things were definitely hyped up like the Dark Knight status. I think the problem is it was hyped up too much for me. And I am obsessed with Falafels, Pitas, etc. so for me, it didn't literally the best in the world for me. The people who work there are very friendly, it could be because my friends know them personally or they offer friendly service, but I'll stick with the latter :) read more

long lines but well worth The Falafel. .. ;P + : The Falafel "SuPrêMe" - sO gOod: - price performance is off the charts!! ;)) . .. pretty efficient customer service. .. cute part of town. .. -- : line is usually long. .. TRY iT!! really thought i wasn't a falafel person until this meeting. .. mM. .. wonder if there is a falafel this gOod in LA or SF. .. if so, let me know. .. :)) read more

Very likely that it is the best falafel that I've ever had and you know it's good when locals are ordering custom versions. It's worth the trip there since the hipsterish Marais neighborhood is a cool place to visit if only just to people watch and hang out at a cafe or bar. The line wasn't that long when I went so it was definitely worth the hype but I could see this place getting backed up after a long night. Personally, I think if your wait is 30 minutes or less it's worth it otherwise anything longer and you risk aggravation leading up to a less than 4 star review. read more

I came here with my friend on Tuesday night. It was actually about 2 months ago, but I forgot to finish this review. I ordered a mixed meat falafel, while my friend ordered a vegetarian one. The food was good, and cost about 19 euros total. The service was good too! read more

My husband loves falafels, I don't, so automatically I'm going to be pretty neutral in this review as I didn't really feel like coming here. however, for MOST people, this is a really great deal if you get the falafel sandwich. I on the other hand got the merguez sandwich, which took the line of cooks FOREVER to make. I watched at least 5 other people get their sandwiches before I did. I can see why people love this place though - great sauces, well pickled vegetables, and the bread is soft and arm. read more

Great Fallafel! Definitely the best in Paris! Everyone has to try it and it's filling too!

It's what everyone else has been saying: this place rocks! Yes, the food is good and the portions are more than enough to get you feeling stuffed at such a good deal but I'm giving them five stars because of the friendliness of their service, the efficiency of the line to eat-in, the affordable prices, and how quickly the food comes out! I ordered the Special Falafel as almost everyone does and will be coming back to try the other dishes on their menu. I'm still thinking about my falafel meal today and if you're in Paris even for a short stay this place should not be missed! read more

We came here after reading the reviews on Yelp, Tripadvisor, and lots of other blogs. The lines were separated into 2 which made it very confusing. We were ushered to one line to order and when we got up to the counter, he said he couldn't take my order of the Cocktail mix of meats because it had to be on the other line. Why did the worker put us on this line then? We then got on the second line until we could flag the guy who ushered us. We found him, told him what happened and he apologized and personally took our order inside the restaurant so we ended up skipping the lines altogether in the end. The whole process still took about 30 minutes. The fallafels are huge and pretty flavorful, but it didn't wow us. With all the high ratings, we expected better. It is definitely one of the decent cheap eats places, but I personally would not make the trip there again. read more

Wow! Truly excellent falafel and sides. I love their french fries and their cabbage salad. But the falafels are the star here. Crispy yet chewy, and well-seasoned and flavorful. Definitely worth a separate trip. Plus, the Jewish Quarter of Paris is so much fun to walk around - cute little shops, cobblestone streets, and quite close to the metro. A great spot for lunch or an early dinner. In the warmer months you can even sit outside and people watch - a totally perfect afternoon in Paris! read more

I love this place. It's kind of weird that Paris has so many falafel/ grec places but this is one of the best that I've ever had. - they're fast & efficient so you won't be waiting too long for your food. - cheap (6€ for a falafel sandwich to go) - not stingy with sauce (and the sauces are amazing. This is like 60% of what makes this place so good) - falafels are kinda small but I think it just makes them easier to cook (perfectly crispy on the outside & not dry on the inside) Not much else to say that hasn't already been said. Just go here, you won't regret it. read more

The falafel are little balls of parsley and chick pea delights, flavorful and tender on the inside and crispy crunchy on the outside without a greasy finish. Seriously amazing! I love falafel and schwarma and this is THE best I've ever experienced. Everything is made fresh in house (except the pita) and veggies are chopped fresh each day. We walked by and lingered outside early in the morning to watch and saw the staff receive truck loads of fresh veggies just for that day! Every bite was as good or better than the one before. The hummus is a creamy flavorful delight and the grilled eggplant is like savory marshmallows with a little crisp. I recommend the falafel plate so you get to try all the wonderful accoutrement. read more

The hardest part is not stuffing your face with this lil beaut and finishing in .38282 seconds. So falafel. Much wow.

I was a poor schmuck when I lived in Paris, hunger is the best sauce, blah blah blah, but I still dream of this fallafel. I had never had a sandwich this good before here, or after. I'd literally trade my first born to be able to eat it everyday. read more

I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but I was not blown away. I got the first and most popular item on the menu and it did not compare to my sister's which included meat (I think it was the second or third item). The fallafel was the only redeemable part of my meal, though- just not worth the wait. read more
