This place hits the mark on quantity and quality! One falafel sandwich will fuel you for an entire day! They really try to accommodate you for seating and have expanded in the decade since I was last here. The staff is young, hip and friendly. I enjoyed my lunch here and look forward to next time! read more

Forever my favorite restaurant in Paris and the one I ALWAYS recommend to anyone visiting Paris. In my 4 months of living in Paris I believe I went here around 10 times. It was also my first stop when I went back to visit last year. Their falafel is incredible and the best I've had in my life. A combination of the eggplant and the sauce they use make it very unique and tasty. The pita is cooked exactly right and really complements the inside toppings of the sandwich. I haven't had much else here but the falafel alone is worth the visit. I also did try a few of the other falafel places in the area but none of them compared- usually the other falafels were much more dry and flavorful. It's also in a beautiful location. I love that you have the option of conveniently ordering at the window and walking around the neighborhood or sitting down to eat. Can't wait to go back again read more

I had no idea about this place until a friend mentioned that a certain travel guide for Paris from Rick Steves apparently touted this place as the best falafel restaurant in the area. It was such a good idea to just listen to him and follow along because it really does live up to its reputation. One of the best full meals you can find in Paris only costs five euros here; I wonder whether it's a coincidence that it's so cheap, or they actually can make a good profit by selling at such a low price. Before you make your order, you'll probably have to wait in line for a while. You get to watch the guy making your falafel behind the glass in front of you scoop the vegetables and sauces into the pita before it's served to you, kind of like Subway but without the moving along a line part. The falafel is then wrapped up and handed to you in a napkin. Be careful, you don't want to eat those! Because eating it would otherwise be so messy, they do provide plastic forks for you to just eat them that way, although it kind of feels weird to be eating a sandwich with a fork. I don't even know exactly what they put in there, even though I've seen them put it all together. I've heard it's eggplants and some other stuff. But the blend of it is just perfect. I've hardly found anything in Paris that tastes better. The falafel itself doesn't really look that big, but it's surprisingly dense and you probably won't be left hungry after finishing. Hope you don't mind standing or walking around Le Marais while enjoying your meal, though. You might find your promenade through the fourth arrondissement accompanied by the filthy pigeons that for some reason pervade the streets here, although I don't suppose that's anything the store can control. Alternatively, you may elect to pay a few more euros to sit at one of the tables inside and admire the picture proving that Lenny Kravitz left his mark here. read more

I didn't come here on my first trip to Paris because I thought "It's just falafel, what's all the hype about? We have some pretty darn good falafels back in NYC." But after having so many people recommending it to me, I decided to give it a go on my second trip. This didn't blow my mind, but it did exceed my expectations. It is one of the better falafels I've had though. I had the hummus plate and shared the falafel pita sandwich and grilled chicken pita sandwich with my cousins. The falafels were slightly crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful inside. The hummus was delicious and fresh. Both the pita sandwiches were huge! They were filled with fresh toppings - crunchy cabbage, tomatoes, tahini. There wasn't much of a wait for sit in and the line moves pretty fast. It helps when the host is a friendly and hilarious guy! They also speak English and have menus in English. read more

Don't be those people who think to themselves "this line isn't worth it" because trust me, I was that person and I said that and ended up coming back the next day!!! Best decision ever made! My Paris trip became that much better because of this! read more

Long lines, but worth the wait. Make sure you go to the right one cuz there are plenty of imitations next door. Choose the Togo line to skip the extra long line. - lamb gyro: 3/5. Good amount of meat and Veges, but the flavor of the meat was mediocre - Fallafel gyro: 5/5. Same healthy amount of veges provided, but the falafel stole the show. So crispy, light and flavorful Worth it? Yes, for what they are known for. It's one Of the few vegetarian entries I would choose over the meat. Ps. Bathrooms are inside in the very back. read more

Best fallafel sandwich I have ever tasted! The fallafel was perfectly crisp on the outside yet moist on the inside. The vegetables were fresh and the sauce had incredible flavor. There is a to go option, although I opted to dine in. The restaurant seemed like a no frills type of place. It was very busy and crowded but the food came out super quickly. The sandwich itself was gigantic and left me feeling absolutely stuffed. Such a great value at only 8.5 euros read more

It's not bad It's pretty good Maybe a little bland Honestly, go to one of the many shops in the area that this tourist trap draws customers from. Sit down. Have a wine and a pastry. I'll be jealous, because the long line looked like a seal of approval for bomb ass fallafel. Not gonna lie, given the hype this place gets, maybe every other shop has lame fallafel or horrifically ruins their pitas in some way. This place just doesn't have the special product that was purported to be there. Also, @ that reviewer who cited Lenny Kravitz's love of this shop, meet me back in Chicago, I'll get carry out from some mediocre Mediterranean place, and we'll eat that while watching the Hunger Games and listening to that song about wanting to fly away. Dis gonna blow your mind. read more

This place is a MUST visit when in Paris! It's supposedly the best falafel in the city and some would argue the best in most of Europe. Those are some strong words that I've read on other sites, lol! I will say that this falafel was absolutely delicious. I didn't try another falafel in Paris for comparison, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment I felt from eating this one or how tasty it was. We both ordered our falafels "hot" so they came with extra harissa. These "sandwiches" were HUGE! We didn't want to sit in what limited indoor seating they offered so we just found a curb nearby and sat with everyone else. I think it took me 15 minutes or so to eats this monster! And it messy and fun! I would take little nibbles and immediately reach for napkins to wipe off my saucy mouth. The tahini-based sauce and harissa are a killer combination. Besides the perfectly cooked falafel, the eggplants were one of my favorite components. NOMS! read more

Went here because a friend recommended it. We got turkey/lamb pita sandwich and a steak chicken (which is just chicken) pita, fries, added their red and green special sauce. Oh man.. mouth orgasm. Service was friendly and food was served super fast. And they take credit cards. Slightly hidden from main streets but very lively area. read more

The best Israeli food I've ever eaten and a 'can't miss' in paris. If you are in the mood for a vibrant scene, head over to le Marais and put your name in. You might wait for a bit, but it's worth it. The servers here are great and must speak multiple languages. One server made my son feel right at home when the menu overwhelmed him. I had the schwama plate that was overloaded with colors and flavors. My wife had the falafel plate. I feel full a few weeks post-dine just thinking about. The hummus, meat, falafel, veggies and everything were all exceptional. read more

Clearly I'm in the minority here but this place was so underwhelming. It was fresh and fast but not worth the wait nor the price. The falafel and its accoutrements were unsalted; I mean no salt at all. I had to ask for the tahini sauce and it took about five minutes to get. I so wanted to love this place but I didn't. Maybe next time, should I chance it, it will be better?! read more

Perfect pit stop in a busy day of sightseeing! And EASILY the best falafel I've had and I used to live in NY where there's falafel on every corner! It was a walking distance from the Notre Dame and we ate on the way to the Louvre! Make sure to come when they open to beat the lines!! read more

We got there like 1600 and there no wait, got a seat quick, all servers were beyond nice, placed our order and got it fast. Mergaz Plate was very yummy, Eggplant was out of this world, chicken plate was very good and last but not least the Falafel one of the best I've had. Will be a spot we go to every time we visit Paris. To top it off it was KOSHER. A+++ read more

Hands down the best falafel meal (some say better than what you'll find in the Mideast). Chicken schnitzel and hummus schwarma paired with a cold Maccabee beer and you're ready to storm the Marais area of Paris. Definitely a must-visit for those who've quickly burned out from wolfing down one too many entrecôte dinners. read more

Solid Falafel joint turned to an institute. Can't complain about the taste, those Mezrahi folks knows how to make hot crispy falafel. You can get the boy out of the middle east, but you can't get the middle east out of the boy. Prices are really inflated(almost 20 Euros for 2 plates) and long lines. I was in Paris for only few days, but with such big Arab and Jewish communities, i assume you can find high quality falafel with half price and virtually no waiting line if you are OK with looking outside the touristic Marais. read more

The thought of trying a tiny little falafel place in Paris didn't necessarily feel like the most brilliant of ideas but I definitely can't say enough about how happy I was that I took the recommendation of going there very seriously. The falafel was like no other I have ever had before! There were two lines outside - one for takeout and the other for dining in. Both lines were long but moved relatively quickly. This was obviously some kind of hidden gem. Their falafel was, hands-down, the best one I have ever had in my life! I am still dreaming of it! Everything from the pita to the salad to the actual falafel were perfection. My friend and I tried it on a Friday and were so disappointed when we realized we couldn't go back the next day for another. They are closed on Saturdays and we left Paris on Sunday morning. I will definitely plan better on my next visit. This is one place that should be on everyone's "go to" list when visiting Paris. read more

I stumbled upon this place over a decade ago while visiting Paris and ended up having multiple meals here. Their falafel is crispy but not dry, and the assortment of toppings the add make for the perfectly balanced wrap. After that first visit, it took nearly a decade to come back but during that time, falafel at L'as du falafel was the only recommendation I would make to all my friends visiting Paris. On any trip to Paris, no matter the length (even layovers) this is my only must visit spot in the city. If you like falafel, you won't regret it. Note, there are different price points for eating inside than grabbing it to go. read more

Wow wow wow! Never before did I ever think of adding eggplant in my falafel sandwich. This place is is known for the right reasons. Great food for really good prices. The only thing I didn't like was that there's no room outside or inside to stand and wait. The street it's located in is very narrow and the lines don't help. We took our food to go and by the time we ate it, it was slightly soggy. Still not bad though. read more

I really don't have much to add; it's as amazing as everyone else has said. I was in Paris for a week and went three times. I enjoyed exploring the neighborhood (Jewish Quarter) as well. Great place for both vegans and omnis. Don't be dissuaded by long line because it moves super fast. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place because of the high reviews. We came on a Tuesday around 8pm and there was a short wait to eat inside (about 10 minutes). We both ordered the chicken steak wrap, an order of falafel and an order of fries. The falafel's are very good especially with the red spicy sauce and the white sauce. The wraps were good, but not amazing. The fries were ok but tasted a little like old grease. I would definitely come back for the falafel's. The seating inside is very tight and cramped. The service is ok, we only saw our waiter when we gave him our order and when he brought the food, no big deal...they're pretty busy with the steady flow of customers. read more

Excellent falafel place. We ate here twice on our recent visit to Paris --once in their outdoor seating, once inside (as there was no outdoor seat sing that night.). The falafel is amazing, but the Israeli humus and salads were also great, fresh. read more

I cannot express this enough: EAT HERE! The best falafel I've ever had. It was so good that we ate here TWICE on our first ever trip to Paris. It's in a really neat area of Paris too, with fun shopping near by and yummy bakeries within walking distance. The only downside is there is no where to sit and eat... so this is definitely an "eat while you walk" sort of deal. read more

Shawarma was awesome and the spicy sauce was delish! Definitely need to visit if you're close by!

Don't be fooled by the other guys on the street claiming to have the world's best falafel - that honor belongs to L'As du Falafel. We solicited restaurant advice before our trip to Paris and just about everyone suggested L'As du Falafel. C'mon, it's just falafelhow good can it be? Holy exploding balls of flavor, Batman! Best damn falafel ever. tip While they offer falafel to go I'd recommend eating in to enjoy the falafel warm with an ice cold beer. read more

There is always some sort of line for this restaurant, which says a lot given how many falafel restaurants exist in this section of the Marais. As you wait in line a man comes up to you with a ticket with a couple of choices (shawarma or falafel, soda or fresh lemonade etc). He fills out your order form which you hand in at the counter. (This was for take away).Try and hit this place at a good time, but if there's a gigantic line down the block maybe try one of its neighbors! Update: upgraded review from 3 stars (for takeaway) to 5 stars for sit down. My boyfriend and I came here quite late (around 10:30) on a Monday, so it wasn't too crowded. We had such an amazing meal. The standout was surprisingly the hummus + schwarma starter. One starter comes with 2 pitas, so we split and were absolutely obsessed. The bread was soft, warm and fluffy, and the combo of the hummus, meat and some red hot sauce was amazing. Delicious! We then got the famous falafel sandwich and were not disappointed. The falafel is moist and golden, and the sandwich is overall lip smacking good. I do recommend a hearty appetite though as the portions are generous. read more

This adorable little restaurant easily makes the best falafel I have EVER HAD! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the falafel is the perfect blend of flavor! And to top it off IT IS SO REASONABLY PRICED! I am in no way an expert in middle eastern cuisine and instead of guessing my way through the menu I asked my (hot) waiter what he recommended. He directed me towards the original falafel sandwich and it was INCREDIBLE! I am disappointed only because that was the best falafel I have ever had and I am positive that I will never eat anything that rivals it! Anyhoo, GO HERE! It's fun to wonder the back streets through the Jewish quarter! And don't be intimidated by the long line! It's pretty fast and TOTALLY worth the wait! read more

Placed in a nice Jewish Orthodox alleyway, this quaint little falafel restaurant is probably one of the best falafel sandwiches I have ever had. I went for lunch at 13:30 and the wait was only about 15 minutes long for 4 of us. The service was fantastic the waiter was very friendly and spoke perfect english. We had the Israeli platter as a starter. It was quite small for four of us so we had to order a large hummus as well. Both were delicious though, enjoyed them both. I had the falafel special and what a sandwich it was. It was amazing, especially with the spicy sauce at the table. I highly recommend this spot as a quick lunch and then a cruise around the jewish orthodox area. The area has good shopping as well as a nice scenery. read more

Knew this place would be open on Christmas Day. It is at a T-intersection with many other fallafel places, but don't be fooled. There will be a line, and there will be young men asking for your order as you get on line. They will write on a slip of paper, hand it to you, which you then hand to the man behind the counter when its your turn. Bring cash! Be hungry, as my portion came with at least 4-5 fallafel balls. Take it to go, eat right outside the store, standing up, to help with digestion ;) read more
