Had some amazing French restaurants while in Paris, but this cute, casual place has them beat. Still dreaming of L'As du Fallafel and their perfectly crispy falafels and creamy hummus. The portions are generous and I recommend sharing a plate or pita with someone because it's a lot! Great place to stop by after a day of shopping. No wait for our party of 8 despite the very limited seating (they gave us two tables of four) because it was 3pm in the afternoon.
Famous falafel spot in the Marais. There was a bit of a line right when they opened but they're efficient about it. We split the Falafel Signature sandwich and it's tasty. The Falafel balls were crispy and fresh. I loved the addition of roasted eggplants and the spicy sauce added a nice kick to the sandwich as well. Not the best I've ever had but a fun snack nonetheless.
VEGAN REVIEW My friend recommended this place vehemently & I was a little like... what's the big deal, it's falafel... YOU GUYS IT IS SO DELICIOUS The falafel is perfection, as are all the side dips, salads & breads. Dine in if you can, the menu is larger (plates & such) Service is SO FAST Lenny Kravitz loved this place, so you know it's good LOL
As someone who goes to Paris quite often, I am always on the hunt for some new places to eat at. I stumbled upon L'As du Fallafel, and this restaurant had some delicious dishes to try! It is a very busy spot, so finding a seat can be quite difficult. But the service is really fast and the servers are also very kind. Prices do differ if you want to dine in vs take out. Now on to the food, the falafel plate is delicious and with the portion sizes are big so can definitely be shareable! The sandwiches are very fresh, have great flavour and its just packed with so much ingredients! 9/10 recommend!
We made a stop here for a late night snack, I was excited to give them a try after seeing all the raving reviews. I decided to order the Falafel special, which comes with falafel, veggies, eggplant, tahini sauce, and hot sauce in a pita. The pita was packed with everything and I really liked the falafel, it was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The hot sauce also had that spicy kick that spicy lovers will enjoy. The tahini was just okay though, I felt like I had better tahini at other places in the states. Overall, the falafel pita was pretty good, but the tahini brought it down a little bit. Compared to other places I've been to in the states, I felt like the white sauce wasn't better. With that in mind, it's still a pretty good spot to get your falafel fix in.
While waking around the old Jewish quarter our local friend suggested we come here to get takeout and go eat in a nearby park. We were told they usually have a long line but it wasn't bad that day. We got a bunch of schawarmas and fries - all quite delicious and for Paris a 15 euro schawarma with juicy tasty meat is reasonable. They have seating inside but on a nice day the hidden gem of a park just a few steps to the right of it is a much more pleasant venue.
The first time we came here, my family loved it. We came in the winter and it was the perfect hot meal and the falafel was super crispy. Now, two years later, we came back and felt that it was alright. There are always lines but it goes relatively quick. The falafel is probably the best falafel we've ever tried, but the shawarma in a pita was ok and the rest of the veggies and sauces in the falafel were not the best we've ever had (best meat in pita we've had is Falafel Stop in northern california).
By far the best falafel in the world (and yes I've had a lot of falafel in the US and internationally including Egypt). Absolutely incredible. Quick service even if you are waiting in line to sit down (wait is usually 20 minutes or less). The guy writing your name down is hilarious and fun. If you don't want to sit down there is a to go line that is quick. The restaurant itself is like a fast food seating with basic chairs and tables that is semi clean. Service is definitely very quick. The food is absolutely amazing. The hot sauce is fantastic. The veggies are fresh. I could eat this everyday. I'm so sad it's in Paris and would love for it to be in the USA It is a must go otherwise you didn't do Paris right! Scrap the Michelin stars and go here
I had seen this place on TikTok and was wanting to try it out. I finally had the chance to do it with a friend that was visiting me. We decided to dine in and the wait was about 40 minutes, which wasn't too bad we just went to a coffee shop and chilled. We came back in 40 minutes and were seated immediately. I decided on the grilled chicken medallion pita sandwich as well as a side of fries. The food came pretty quickly within 10 minutes. This sandwich was HUGE! It was filled to the brim with chicken, lettuce, tomato, eggplant, cucumber and lots of sauce. They did put tahini on here, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I still enjoyed it. It was so filling and delicious. The pita was warm and fresh as well as all the toppings. Our waiter brought out a cup of this spicy sauce that was the star of the show for me. It wasn't super spicy, but the flavor was amazing. I put it on every bite. The French fries were pretty standard, but yummy. For 2 pita sandwiches, a drink and fries our total was 44 euros.
Falafel in Paris? Definitely!! I know it sounds strange to go to Paris and eat falafel, but L'As du Falafel is one of our favorites. Found it years ago when my husband always wanted to eat falafel sandwiches when we travelled. This one tastes like you are on the Tayelet in Tel Aviv, not the Old Jewish Quarter in Le Marais. So nice to stroll in this trendy area with its cobblestone streets, historic synagogues and quirky boutiques and then grab a table for a falafel plate or pita. The falafel is so good. Just like the family restaurant that my husband's parents used to own. Crispy on the outside. Delicious and moist on the inside. Could have easily split the falafel plate. 10 falafel balls on a plate of hummus, tahini, green cabbage salad, purple cabbage salad, Israeli salad with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and a tomato based dip. Pita included. So yummy!! My hubby had....a falafel pita sandwich and fries. Added a freshly squeezed carrot orange juice. So refreshing. Ask for a large complimentary glass bottle of tap water. Inside and outside dining available. In a rush to get back to the Olympics? Take your order to go. Love falafel? Add this to your list of restaurants in Paris. If you are like our family, you'll be back.

Can't come to Paris and not visit L'as. Best falafel sandwich, Lenny kravitz says so. But honestly it is, it comes in a pillowy pita with grilled eggplant, pickled cabbage, tahini sauce , spicy sauce and tomatoes. Also try their homemade lemonade. P.S. the line moves fast ;) read more
Most delicious shawarma pita sandwich I've ever had. There's so much to do in Paris, but this place is definitely worth a revisit. I got the lamb shawarma sandwich. Even though there was a line, they had a person standing outside taking orders and giving out tickets to speed up the process, so it was not a very long wait at all. I cannot wait to come back and try their other flavors! I feel kind of bad for their competition lol, because they blow everyone out of the water. read more
Wow, this place has quite the reputation! There were a mob of people outside, just hanging out and eating their shawarma sandwiches on the sidewalk. We opted to dine in. Place was packed! Not a fancy place and it was a little warm inside, but service is friendly and fast. My friend and I shared a plate of spreads/falafel with pita bread....absolutely delicious!!! We also ordered their shawarma sandwich, which we were surprisingly disappointed with. We were expecting lamb shawarma, but apparently, it was a turkey and lamb mixed. I honestly didn't taste much lamb and it tasted mostly of turkey, which was disappointing. It still tasted good and was enormous but more lamb would have been preferred. read more

This place is popular and seems to be spot that locals frequent! There was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. Falafels were good, but I've had better in CA. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed the meal. read more
One of our favorite meals in Paris! Between four of us, we shared two shawarmas, one lamb, and one mixed meat, a starter that came with hummus and 6 falafels, a beer and two juices. All of this for just 47 euro. The shawarmas were incredible! Jam-packed with meat, mixed veggies, and sauce. The pita pocket is sooooo soft. Ask for their hot sauce too. It goes great with their shawarmas. The hummus was delicious and I noticed they put olive oil on it. I haven't really seen that done much in the states but it was good! The falafels were smaller than I'm used to and though they weren't the best I've ever had, they were certainly delicious. Service was great, given how busy they were. Side note, if you dine in, prices are 1-2 euro more than ordering to-go. read more

Good but overrated and a bit pricey for what it is. Decided to come here based on review some other Yelpers. There is a long take out line. We decided to have a sit down lunch in this very bustling restaurant. We ordered a falafel plate, parguit plate, and a Shawarma pita. The falafel's were really good and stood out. The rest of the items were solid but nothing special. The total was about €68 including a beer and a glass of wine. IMO, on the high side considering the type of restaurant, food, and other options at this price point. read more

Best falafels in Paris There was a line up at 10:30 pm at night It seems like every local comes here to grab a shawarma or Fallafel We got the the Fallafel for only 6.50 euros and the lamb and turkey shawarma for 9 Euros Both were so good and the perfect late night snack read more

I read many traveler's blogs when I was planning my trip to Paris and this place was mentioned in almost all so I just had to try. It definately lived up to its hype. I was surprised when I bit into the best falafel I've ever had to my life. I definately need another paris trip. Food, service, and price all 5/5 read more

Wonderful shawarma! Came here after a long day at the Louvre. I didn't want to wait long and I needed something other than a croissant or crepe. It's less than a 10 min metro ride to the St. Paul station and about a 3-5 minute walk to the actual restaurant. Fair prices: the vegetarian falafel is €5 and I paid €9 for the shawarma. Those were the only two options since they were closing soon (I arrived a little after 3 pm) for Shabbat. Most reviews say there's always a long line-- not the case for when I went. Serve was quick and men serving/cooking were friendly. If you don't speak a lick of French (like myself) that's fine. Their English was better than most and they were patient. (I know, I came to France without knowing French. I'm the idiot.) As for the food? Incredible. All the other reviews were on point. I chose to get mine spicy. It's not a burn your taste buds to the core spicy; it's pleasant. If I'm able to come back here during my trip, I will. read more

I was in Paris for work and was staying in the 4th arrondissement. After a quick google search about the neighborhood, I found it was once the city's Jewish quarter and very trendy! My colleague and I did a quick yelp search of the food around and saw this place! After a short 10 minute walk (it was around 10 pm, deserted streets but felt safe), we found the place! There was a crowd of about 25 people outside + a packed inside restaurant. We ordered the fries, the falafel (what they are known for) and the shawarma. Overall: Fries - MASSIVE portion, so share Falafel- super tasty. Loved that they were smaller balls instead of the massive ones you see here in the states. Great flavor! Shawarma - good! Wasn't dry. Lots of meat! If you're ever in Paris, I would definitely make a pit stop here. Great place for late eats!!!! read more

Perhaps the best falafel we've ever had. We also ordered the eggplant to start which my wife LOVED. Long line on a Sunday night but we were able to skip almost the entire line since we were only 2 people read more
I haven't had a good falafel since I lived in NYC. I was so happy to find this restaurant. I took the metro from my hotel and found it easily. The neighborhood is charming and feels safe. I sat at a table inside. There was a long line for togo orders. The guys working there are so nice, helpful and cute lol. I ordered the falafel plate, which comes with 8 or so falafels , hummus, cavalry, cucumber salad , pita bread and sauce. I was only able to eat about half of my food as it was a big portion. The food was delicious, fresh and a reasonable price. The service here was the best since I've been in Paris ! read more
OK, we tried to go to this place the other day but went to the wrong place. It would have been easy to forget about L'as Du Falafel. We could have made that mistake. That huge, gigantic, catastrophic mistake. We are eating at restaurant tonight that is in the world top fifty. It has a very hard act to follow. Best falafel on the planet. Really, the whole planet. read more

I went.... (September 17th, 2019) and they were closed due to unforeseen circumstances with water at their establishment (I think) view the note in my photo. IM SO BUMMED. Happy they posted a note.... at the very least. But I wrote them on Instagram and I'm not sure why it wasn't posted on their social media (since they are so popular) I guess it's beyond their control - I'm sure the food is a 5! read more

One of the best meals we had during our 5 days in Paris! My mother and I ventured out to this neighborhood just to try this place. We shared a falafel platter. Everything was incredibly fresh and the hummus and tahini were deliciously balanced. Not too sour, bland, watery, or dry, the olive oil topping them off was also bursting with flavor. I especially enjoyed the red schug, which I used to pleasantly spice up every bite I took. The falafel were perfectly seasoned, hot, and crisp. Not too dry nor wet and sopping with oil. They use high quality ingredients here-- you can taste the difference! read more

Incredible. We went to this delicious falafel spot for a late lunch and it was one of our top meals the entire trip. Since we arrived around 2pm the line wasn't too long and they brought us hot falafel bites to snack on while we waited. We were extra excited about that since it was very cold outside. They also did a great job of moving the line along so the front 2-3 parties could wait inside in the heat. Once seated, the service was quick and efficient. Within only a few minutes of ordering our meal arrived. We each had a falafel wrap and split a bowl of fries and a carrot juice. The sauces they put in the table were so so good. The green was quite spicy and the red was bursting with amazing flavor. Everything was very filling, we only got about halfway through our fries. The carrot juice was very refreshing. read more
Of course this was delicious. Had the falafel pita filled with different veggies, fresh fried falafel and creamy tahini. Very filling. They have a second location a couple doors down that had no line and gave us a table right away. read more
We stopped in here for our first meal in Paris and were not disappointed! We had heard about the long lines, but there are now two locations just down the alley from one another to help alleviate foot traffic. We didn't have to wait in line at all! We took our falafel to-go as we walked around the streets of Le Marais. We all got the falafel special and it was AMAZING. They stuff the pita with so much fresh cucumber, cabbage, falafel, and eggplant. The eggplant was a little unexpected, but it was so tasty. They have a spicy sauce too...it's not too hot so if you like a little spice you can definitely handle it. Overall we loved grabbing dinner here. It seems to be a local favorite, and I can see why. The prices are great and the falafel is amazing. I highly recommend for an easy/inexpensive meal! read more

As many guides say, this is the best falafel place in Paris and I was not disappointed. I had the combo meat falafel which had four or so different meats with a great sauce integrating the meat and all the vegetables. It was first class and so much I could not finish it. Great food at a reasonable price. I did not have to wait long to be seated as a solo diner. read more
AMAZING! Many people recommended this place and lines are usually very long but we got lucky! Line was about 10-15 people deep and went by quickly. They take your order while in line--if you have euros you can pay the person immediately, and if you have a card you can pay inside. You can also actually eat inside if you would like, although I would recommend taking to go and eating somewhere nearby OR walking to the Seine which is about 15 min walk away. We did this but I would recommend not as the food for a little cold. We got the falafel and the chicken shawarma wraps and both were great. The wraps comes with two types of cabbages, cucumbers, spicy sauce (if you want), and yummy eggplant (and maybe more I'm forgetting)!! The man taking our order was so helpful and answered my many questions so always appreciated :) Cost was 8 euros for each so 16 euros total, a steal for Paris!! Definitely recommend as I may even go twice in my visit!! read more
Best thing I ever ate in Paris. I would book a trip back there just to eat here one more time. The waits were long at times but it was worth it. There's a restaurant located directly across from it that seems to sell the same things but there were absolutely no customers there. I felt bad for them but not bad enough to try it out. This location was so good that I went back twice just to taste their delicious wraps. I got the chicken and lamb combo with everything and the portion was so huge! This will definitely keep you full for a day of exploring Paris. They definitely know what they're doing! read more

I heard this place serves great falafels but we honestly don't like falafels. We've gone to places in California where our friends recommend falafels and it's always just overly fried and dried. So we weren't super excited but really came to see what the hype was about. We were surprised that we finished everything! We ordered just the Israeli plate, shawarma pita sandwich and mint lemonade. All fantastic! The mint lemonade was fresh and almost tasted like a mint mojito. I usually don't like lamb (but i love chicken) since it's pretty gamey but the seasoning and sauce they used plus the eggplant covered any gamey taste to it. The falafel is probably the best we've both had, crispy on the outside and still slightly soft inside. The hummus, sesame oil and the red chili pepper complimented the falafel so well! read more
