We booked a table for the margarita power hour (and a half)... and let me tell you, these little margaritas packed a PUNCH! I am not sure what was in them or if they were just so easy to drink and we slurped them down quickly, but a glass and a half in, we were all feeling it. The food itself was really good, too. Between the three of us, we ordered two good morning meet kebabs, one good morning veggie kebab, a side of fries, and add-on halloumi. It was a lot of food and we could've easily scaled down a bit, but we really liked each dish. Highly recommend. Not sure if this place will pickup popularity, so make a reservation on their website just in case!

As you walk in, you only see one communal table, but there is more tables upstairs. The menu is very straightforward. Four veggie options and four meat/ fish ones.

Here's what we ordered and enjoyed most: Thyme kellaj: crisp, filled with delish zaatar, perfect for me Hummus: creamy dream, perfectly balanced Labneh: thick, creamy, dreamy. Chicken Fallouj: huge portion. Perfectly cooked, no dryness and full of flavor. Went very well with the labneh. Falafel: crispy, BIG, but not as big on the flavor as I was expecting. Did like that it came with a tahini sauce and pickled turnips which cut the heaviness. Actually wouldn't get again because the other items filled me right up. The only "miss" of the meal for me. Passion fruit martini is a MUST get for you fruity drink people. Really tasted like passion fruit. The old fashioned is a miss for my husband -- he couldn't explain why but he just wasn't into it. Please note that this restaurant is in a smaller space so you probably would need a reservation on weekends.

The beans (foul) were my favorite. The baba ganoush lacked the smoky flavor that I usually love about it. But everything else was tasty and hit the spot after a day of playing tourist in London. Service was swift and nice. I would certainly come back again.

I had the chicken wrap with extra guacamole and all the trimmings. The bread wrap taste fresh and fluffy and the chicken has a great flavour to it. I enjoyed every bite and having not eaten before hand (it was 1pm), you can imagine how well it went down. I also gave their sweet potato falafel a try. I now prefer sweet potato falafel. Delicious, with a slight kick and just not as dry as normal falafel. Yum. This is a great addition to Exmouth Market and a must stop lunch spot.

Sorry, but I'm not sorry for dropping this 1-star review…read more I checked the opening hours (Sunday) -- BOTH on Yelp and on the website. I've visited this location before and was looking to grab a late-ish lunch and eat in the park. Typically you'd think a chain should have fairly standard hours. It said they closed at 5pm. I showed up at 430, there were many people eating on the patio, the chalkboard still out and door wide open. I walked in. ...and they told me they were closed. At 430pm? What an odd time to close. Then I just felt ticked off that I'd made the journey and these slackers wanted to close early and be ready to jet at exactly 5pm. Unacceptable. I will not return.

I like this quote and to me it really encompasses what this place is all about: a great falafel experience! In fact, Israeli store owner Uri Dinay, who opened the store in honor of his grand father, has done a fantastic job with this (second) store in London. I have been here now twice and both times I really loved it. First time around I had the pita bread stuffed to the brim with delicious falafels, tabouleh, chickpeas and other goodies. The second time around I went for the salad box filled with all the same stuff, just with the pita bread on the side. Both were delicious: I'd recommend the former one for the smaller appetite and the latter one for the bigger appetite. In any case, try to come early, as the lunch crowd can be quite ferocious!
