There is a line for a reason. The falafel is that good, and they don't just sprinkle a few toppings on. They load up that soft, fresh pita with cabbage, cucumber, tomato, and eggplant layered throughout, along with tahini. Of course you get your tzaziki and hot sauce on top. Amazing read more

The hype is real y'all. Don't be distracted by the other falafel shops in this alleyway, go straight to L'As du Fallafel and get a table/get in line. We arrived right before the rush and got a table for our party of six. The sit-down prices are much more than the take-away window but you're going to want a seat to enjoy your falafel. The sit-down prices are not that bad and the falafel was worth every single Euro penny. Service was great (and in English). The group ordered four falafel sandwiches and two lamb shawarma. I promptly doused my sandwich in the red sauce on the table. It has been weeks since I've eaten here and I still think about that sauce. This was easily the best falafel any of us have ever eaten. By the time we left, there was a huge wait at both the take-away window and for a table. Glad we beat the rush but I'd totally wait in a 40 minute line for this again. read more

This was my favorite meal in all of Paris by far. They're busy but they know just how to handle all the customers. When you first get there, there are two guys by the door who ask if you'd rather sit inside or order out. If you order out, one of them will take your order and hand it to the people behind the counter. They work pretty fast, we ordered two wraps and they were ready in under 10 minutes. The falafel wrap was so delicious! They don't skimp on anything, there were at least 8 falafel balls in there! We also ordered the shawarma, which they make with turkey, and we were pleasantly surprised. These things were huge! One wide open bite was not enough to get the top and bottom of the sandwich in. While a thoroughly enjoyed both, I think I'd have to recommend the falafel just a tad bit more. It's something about the crunchy outside and the soft warm inside that just makes me happy. That, topped with oodles of tahini sauce is the perfect receipt for a repeat visit from me. It just makes me sad that I have to travel 4000+ miles to do so. And just a tip to the savvy traveler, don't ask for hot sauce on the side... that's not a thing there. ‍ Go here for some amazing falafel if you don't particularly care for the shirt you're wearing!

I got this place recommended to me by a local. Absolutely amazing food in an interesting part of Paris. I went for the pita special and wasn't disappointed. Perfectly cooked, affordable and very filling. It's quite popular so set aside some time to wait for a table! read more

Best falafel and wraps in town! The good: best falafel, fast friendly service The ugly: long wait lines They have two lines. One for Togo orders and the line on the right is for dining in. Favorite dish: liver wrap! Yes, I would go again! read more

Really good food, and the staff is really attentive. The only thing I would probably ask for is an English menu. But like I said the staff is really kind so it was no problem at all. read more

Aiy aiy aiyyyyy. I don't get it, but my recommendation is... don't get it. There are so many better places to eat in the area. Maybe I went on an off day, but my falafel were so soggy, cold, and bland. The pita was no better. The accutrements were lackluster. The wrap didn't hold together and was messy to eat. You're in Paris, take a gamble on another restaurant. I can't recommend trying this place. read more

Best falafel in Paris, period. If youre in the Le Marais area, stop by here. The line may be long, but it moves quickly and you get an amazing wrap for about 7 euros. Not too shabby. read more

Apparently this is the place to go. Give the other places a chance, I suppose, but I was psyched when I saw the schwarma here. My goodness. It's huge. The line can get long, but moves really quickly. Price is SUPER reasonable, especially considering the quantity and quality. I got everything on the schwarma: cabbage, eggplant, schwarma, tahini, hummus, tomato--super good. It was seriously giant and I struggled to finish. It was super super tasty, and was boyfriend's favorite thing we ate in Paris! This might just be me/an american thing, but some of the people affiliated with this place weren't very welcoming and I did NOT appreciate that. Doesn't help the reputation, but I mean, what are you gonna do? We were literally turned away from going inside the restaurant by someone, but honestly I don't know if they were truly affiliated with the place or just some random jerk, which was WEIRD. I'd be way madder about it if the darn schwarma wasn't so good. read more

I highly recommend the falafel. It's flavorful, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. We had a side of falafel with the shawarma sandwich. In retrospect, I would have opted for a falafel sandwich considering how the falafel was. The shawarma was good too but the meat was not as flavorful as the falafel balls. read more

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical on how good a fallafel can be. However, this is by far one of the best fallafel that I ever had. What makes it good: -Cooked to order. fresh -Chalk full of ingredients and flavors -Fallafel was moist, but crunchy There is usually a line, so be prepared to wait. read more

Best falafel we had in Paris. There is no need to go to their main restaurant (long line) if all you're looking for is a tasty pita filled will goodness! read more

Busy even on Christmas day as expected but efficient. Everyone is pretty friendly. Falafel was crispy on the outside (maybe a little too much for my liking) and very tasty on the inside. The mixed meat schwarma plate (their second most popular dish) was average in my opinion. The meat was a little dry. I didn't eat falafel anywhere else here but I've had better in Chicago and LA. read more

Best falafel I've had in Paris hands down. You won't be disappointed, the wait in the line is worth it! read more

Best in Paris though hard to go other places after you have eaten here. Relaxed, friendly and usually full. No reservations possible. But very fast efficient service. read more

Never had a falafel but I am a fan particularly when a regular offered suggestions and got us a free sample. It was 96 degrees. I had walked 18,000 steps. I am old. So hot the brain hardly functioned but we got the falafel special, schwarma, and French fries to go. Yum. Loved the eggplant and the crispy veggies. So much food we had leftovers which we ate the next day, cold for lunch, because we could not figure out the microwave. Do bring cash because, at least for take out, credit did not seem to be an option. So glad we stopped. read more

Great felafel. Spongy pita. All the fixings. SO good. In the Marais section of Paris near the Pompidou Center. GO, you won't regret it.

If you love a good Falafel and you are strolling in the Marais- you will be dreaming not only about the amazing food, but about the people who work there. Friendly, open and genuine! The best 6€ I have spent in a very long time. Take it to go- continue to a park bench near the Seine and ENJOY! You're welcome. read more

L'As du Fallafel - A typical Friday~ early evening. Shabbat Shalom! Enjoy one of the best Falafel's in Paris! It never disappoints. - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

Very good fallafel spot in La Marais. The fallafel are good, but what I loved was the pita sandwich that came with fallafel and lots of cabbage and some eggplant. Super filling and delicious. read more

Ok this place is really good, and worth the long line to wait in for the flavors. That being said, I did feel like my falafel was somewhat sloppily put together which made it difficult to eat. My husband had some of my falafel and he enjoyed the falafel balls, but didn't care for much of the other ingredients. I was a big fan of the garlic studded eggplant, buy didn't think any of the other ingredients were things to write home about. read more

Thanks Yelp, for steering me to the best Falafel I've had in years. There's no shortage of Falafel joints here in the Marais, but I only had time/space for one falafel sandwich, and I'm glad I came here. The lines were always long - I passed by several times... but as I found out, it moves quite efficiently. What I especially liked about the falafel was that they were small and bite-sized, fresh and the perfect texture with a nice crunchy exterior yet tender inside. The quantity of falafel in the sandwich was generous, and the price was correct for the quality. I will for sure return here next time I visit Paris, and will opt to eat in the restaurant, rather than taking the sammie to go. I (or the sammie) kept getting attacked by wasps in the park. read more

Maybe I have too high of expectation on Falafel, at least the coloring is too dark which make me think they don't change oil often enough. Highly recommended by my cousin but for sure won't go back. The taste is just ok to me, not heavenly food. read more

Delicious. Line wrapped around the block but wait wasn't that long- keep cash on you. Hidden in a maze of streets, quaint little place. They charged a price if you wanted to sit and eat inside, a small cafeteria type sitting. Otherwise you're free to stand around outside/walk and eat with your sandwich. That part was a little tricky because the sandwich is pretty big, made in a cone style so you're picking at it with a fork till you can take bites. So it's not really possible to eat and walk at first. And there aren't any places to sit outside the shop. But it's good food, reasonably priced, and short wait. Good stuff. read more

Falafel sandwich did not disappoint and did live up to the well deserved hype! The eggplant in the falafel was amazingly well done and melts in your mouth. We also ordered a platter and lamb sandwich but those were meh. Would definitely go back again for more falafel sandwiches next time I am in Paris. read more

Have come here for years! Love the ambiance and the Falafel Sandwich So packed that you may have to wait in a really cool street. Super great for family outings on Sunday ! Definitely advise it read more

Good Mediterranean food! Service is fast! Definitely try the falafel, it's are authentic. You have the option of ordering outside which is take away and walk through the streets of Paris, eating your shawarma. Also the option of eating inside, more comfortable and enjoy the flavors and sauces! read more

Well worth the minimal 10-15 minute wait. They got the queue down to a science. Takes your order on paper and pay beforehand and then you give paper to window chef when you get to front. Falafel and chicken were both killer. These gyros are absolutely humongous and will fill you up. Vegetarian if you want and eggplant an interesting addition to the sandwich that I've never scene before but it's nice and adds texture. Very tough to eat with how packed the sandwich is and the hot red and traditional white sauce throughout. Not a negative just saying this requires a fork and knife whether standing or taking to go. Prices are again great at about 9 euro for chicken and 6.50 euro for falafel. This a 100% must order when in Paris! read more

Didn't have the delight of ordering the meal in person; family bought me the meal. The meal was surprising, however. The combo pita exploded with an assortment of flavors in my mouth - from bitter eggplant to chicken, to the sweet, crisp crunch of purple and white vegetables. The portion is huge for its price, and will satiate even the largest of appetites. Give it a try, you wont regret it :) read more

It was incredible experience All the food very good as per our previous friends information. If you come to Paris definitely you have to cross by here and have a delicious falafel. read more

Definitely should come here if you're in the area. Can be a quick pick up or a sit down (additional sit in tax). The falafel special was good, so was the spicy sausage links and the lamb. Fries were not so good read more

First time ever having a falafel, so I will say I have nothing to compare it to. For being the first time it was good. I had read many reviews and heard how AHHH-mazing it was. When we got there, there was no line, but in about 5 minutes ten people were lined up. We payed about €20 for two waters and two falafels. They are big enough to share. Ask for extra red sauce. read more

When I asked one of my friends who had been to Paris numerous times for activity suggestions before my trip, she didn't mention the Louvre or Sacre Coeur. She raved about this falafel joint that I just had to go to. I know a cult food phenomenon when I see one, so I made sure to stop by toward the beginning of my stay in Paris. Little did I know I'd soon be back, over and over, stopped only by one day when they were closed. This was possibly the best food I've ever had. L'As du Falafel is located in a cute bustling street that offers many similar restaurants, but you'll be able to tell by the long line and general buzz around this place that it's special. I love the sign outside that reads 'Recommanded by Lenny Kravitz.' And no wonder Lenny recommands it...it's truly heavenly, with perfectly cooked falafels stuffed in a pita with the most delicious veggies and topped with their incredible hot sauce. Even better with a side of fries dipped in mayo. The staff is a bit cocky, but who can blame them? They know they're hot stuff. When I was there they also all seemed to truly enjoy wearing deep v-neck t-shirts. But hey, they can wear whatever they want as long as they're serving me their scrumptious falafel! Please, please consider opening a US location! I'll go anywhere for it! read more

4.5 If it's good enough for Lenny, it's good enough for me. I was excited for my first meal in Paris. Paris!! I'd finally made it... and it was a bit gloomy and a little rainy. No matter. I'd done my homework and I knew my first euros would be spent at L'as du Fallafel. Making my way to the Jewish Quarter from my apartment in Le Marais put me in a good mood: graffiti, cobblestone streets, beautiful architecture, hustle & bustle... I liked it. As anticipated, there was a line out the door in front... but it was only for takeout. Using my (rudimentary) French skills, I asked for a table and received a reply in English. I'll take it! Seated, my waiter came by to ask what I'd like to eat. I was ready. He was unsure that I would be so well-prepared, but when I began my order with a Maccabee, he knew he wasn't dealing with a novice. Falafel may be in the name* but I was in the mood for meat. I was hungry, so I opted for the shawarma plate. In no time, I was presented with a heaping plate of lamb & turkey, hummus, fries, pita, slaw, and cucumber/tomato/onion salad. It sounds like a lot of food. It is. I destroyed it. It was absolutely delicious. The meat was fantastically seasoned and generously given but it's the creamy hummus that captured my attention/love. Know that seating is tight and the restaurant gets packed. This is in an old European neighborhood so although the portions are American-sized, the seating is not. Jus' sayin'. Be prepared. You will leave larger than when you came. *I came back and went to town on the falafel. You should do the same. read more

Sweet baby jesus, things I would do to have another bite of this falafel. After hearing raves about this specific falafel place, it was on our must eat list. It's located in a bustling charming area with a lot of small eateries and boutiques. Don't let other falafel restaurants trick you, look for the green restaurant! I got the falafel where it was packed with hot falafel balls, crispy purple and white cabbage, roasted eggplant, tomatoes, topped with an amazing creamy Tahini sauce. Matt T. of course went for the meats and got the Shawarma. First bite into my falafel was a hot delicious mess. Unless you have a big mouth like Julia Roberts, I don't know how you can fit this bad boy all in one bite. The soft pita with fresh crunchy vegetables and balls of falafel heaven hit the spot so good after a long day of walking. We got a side order of fries to go with it which was nothing too special. The Shawarma was packed with tender slices of meat and was just as yummy. If I could, I would add the meat into my falafel but the Parisians will just think Americans are really true fatties.... Speaking of fatties, make sure to leave room for ice cream at Berthillon Glacier nearby. Overall, a must try for a solid quick bite to eat in Paris. Until next time L'As du Fallafel! read more

L'As du Fallafel - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

Believe the hype. I came here first ~12 years ago on my first trip to Paris, when you could still smoke in bars and bikes were nowhere to be seen. I'd had falafel in Tel Aviv, in NYC, at home, and a few places besides. I didn't think I could be wowed by a place in Paris--what were they gonna do, serve it up on a damn croissant? How wrong I was. This is straight up Levantine goodness, and I walked away thinking: this is the best falafel I've had outside Israel, and matches what I remember from there. (And to the politically-inclined readers, yeah yeah yeah, falafel, Israel, cultural appropriation--I yawn in your general direction.) Listen mes amis, the story doesn't end there. I came back to Paris multiple times. I ate here every time. I brought other people here. People not inclined to love falafel. They loved it, every time. And every time, I was surprised how happy I was, and how the falafel lived up to the memory of the last time I'd been. There are countless eateries in Paris that are "better" than this, of course, but not so many that are as great. End notes: - Lines. Be warned. All the guide books list this place, so it's crowded almost all the time. - They have a takeaway counter but that's no fun. - Israeli beer is shunned by Israelis themselves, kind of like how Americans scoff at Bud. But it's not that bad. - Yes to fries in your falafel. Don't be a fool. Don't deny the fry. - If you don't put red cabbage in your falafel sandwich, then I just don't know what to do with you. - Never tried the other offerings, except once I think I had... a schnitzel? It was nice, but couldn't beat my mom's and didn't live up to the standard set by the falafel. - This is a sit down place with waiter service... but it's more eatery than restaurant. It's got diner ambiance. - There are a few other places on this street serving falafel. They're probably good or at least fine, but I've never tried them. - Service is friendly but they are crushed by the business so expect to be served by a staff that is at worst rude and at best flighty. read more

Ok - so I was going to wait to write my Yelp reviews from our trip to Paris until we got home. For the most part that is still the plan, because up until today we have found it impossible to have a bad meal in this city. But I now feel compelled to try and help anybody I can to avoid this place. As I sit here, roughly 8 hours after eating this mess, my husband and I are literally dodging our own belches and flatulence. Here's the thing, and it's an important one - sometimes restaurants with positive Yelp reviews in these numbers are legitimately good. Sometimes they are hype. You never really know until you try. Unfortunately this one falls firmly in the latter category. I don't know how this place got so popular, but I am going to theorize it is a combination of 1. Many people really not having any idea what this food should taste like, 2. Affordability, and 3. Celebrity association (i.e. Lenny Kravitz pics all over the place). I come from a Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian family. So please believe me when I say this is NOT good middle eastern food - not by a mile. It is the middle eastern equivalent of Taco Bell on a plate, as compared to authentic Mexican food. Firstly, the flavors of everything are very muted. Where the hell is the garlic and lemon in the hummus? Where is the seasoning on the shawarma? What happened to the moisture in the falafel? Bad bad bad. And that "spicy sauce" everyone keeps raving about - salt salt salt. A little heat after the salt wears off. More salt. Not good. Thank god I was at a table and able to control the amount of that sauce on my food - otherwise it would have gone from just bad to inedible. Maybe they are inconsistent with the salt in each batch and on other days it has been good? Today it was a salt lick. The falafel tasted like they fell in the cumin, on top of being dry inside and super oily outside - hence the indigestion a full 8 hours later. We have been eating decadently the whole time we have been in Paris and had yet to experience indigestion until this meal. My stomach knows cheap ingredients, and this stuff my friends is definitely made with low quality ingredients. The only highlights were the house made lemonade and the friendly staff. Fries were ok, but it's France - no big deal. Pita was ok - a bit too thick for my tastes, but that's a matter of personal preference - I like a thinner slightly crispy pita rather than a fluffy doughy one. I hate to be this harsh, but I swear I'm really trying to help. There has to be somebody doing better falafel and shawarma in this city, and next time we are here we are going to try and find it. And FYI - all these yelpers claiming to "know good falafel" because they've eaten at Halal Guys? Nope - wrong again. Another example of garbage middle eastern food being passed off as authentic to people who don't know any better. Here's a piece of advice for the owners; as well as anybody else who would like to experience what this food should actually be in all its true tasty glory. If you're ever in the Los Angeles area, look up a little place called Zankou Chicken (it's a local family owned chain - I recommend the West LA, Hollywood, Anaheim, and/or Glendale locations). Once you are there, get over the lack of table service, order some falafel and a shawarma or tarna plate at the counter, grab a seat, and enjoy. Trust me - you will suddenly understand my utter disappointment. If you haven't wasted your money or stomach space on this place yet, don't. It may be edible, yes, affordable, yes. But it's not good. Two stars for the lemonade and the staff. read more

I've been changed, renewed, transformed, saved by falafel. I can't even begin to tell you the glory that was L'As du Falafel. It was made of magic - wrapped in soft pita with grilled veggies and of course those crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle, balls of chickpea heaven. This one sandwich was worth the price of my Eurostar ticket. In fact, if I could only recommend *one* sight to see in Paris, it would be the sight of seeing this glorious pita of joy coming closer and closer to your mouth. Yes. It was that good. read more
