Absolutely delicious!! The falafel was excellent (imagine that), as was the baba ganoush u0026 tzatziki. The harissa was also amazing, not too spicy. Staff were friendly u0026 service was prompt. I had to remove a falafel to be able to pick up the pita, haha! It was stuffed to the brim. The vegetable fillings were so flavorful u0026 fresh. The Chinese radishes u0026 cucumbers on the side were pickled u0026 had a strong flavor, it’s nice they serve them on the side. We will be back for sure! A falafel pita was 89 baht.

Great place for lunch and dinner. We went for lunch in the midday heat and they stuck the fans on right away and it made it much cooler. I had the falafel platter with tsatziki and spicy harrisa sauce with black olives and cucumber. The falafels are well cooked but are tasty and not dry inside. The pitta tasted homecooked and was made with white flour.
The hummus isn't what I would usually recognise as humous back home, it's alot more runny and less chickpea-y but it tasted great all the same. The harrissa sauce is amazing and not too spicy, more of a smoked spice taste.
The picked cucumbers were good, similar to gherkins in the UK and black olives were good too.
Overall the platter is huge and for me, was big enough to share! It also comes with a side salad of lettuce, carrot, beetroot, tomatoes and radishes.
I had the waffles and ice-cream for pudding which was also great. It came with 2 waffles, maple syrup, and 2 kinds of ice cream: chocolate and Thai tea. There was also some coconut cream (?)on the plate which was delicious.
For drinks they've got lots of soft drinks, beer and some delicious small jugs of fruit shakes. I had the mango and passion fruit one which was icey and refreshing.
Overall it was so tasty and a great place to get my falafel fix! For 149 baht the platter isn't cheap but is big enough to share. If you wanted something smaller and cheaper the falafel pitta looked similar for around 80 baht.

Great falafel sandwiches! Big portion. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully cooked falafels are crispy on the outside, warm in the inside. Rich and flavorful. And their tahini is the best I’ve ever had. Would love to comeback.

THE BEST FALAFEL I HAVE EVER HAD!
The falafel and the pita bread are home made and come warm... the hummus is also delicious! I just can’t get enough of this place. I always order the platter, that comes with bread, fries, salad, two options of sauce and it’s a feast! I absolutely looooove it!!

Really tasty falafels here! I got the falafel platter which comes with 4 falafels, 2 choices of dipping by sauce and a couple of pickled choices. Make sure you get the sweet potato over the fries it is amazing! Come with a salad in addition with some pita bread.

Amazing food at very reasonable price and large servings. Everything about this place was great, with tasty, healthy options, highly customisable menus and a nice chilled atmosphere. Only drawback, it takes quite some time to get the good prepared, so don't wait until you're starving before going and ordering!

I had a Falafel Sandwich.
(The Secret to getting everything to fit, before trying to eat it, gently squash your falafel with your fork, this way they don't slide out everywhere).
4 Crispy and Moist Falafel served on Fresh Baked Sourdough Bread Pocket, mixed salad including Beetroot (which I wasn't expecting, but loved).
Also comes with 2 side sauces and 2 pickles.
Huge serving. I actually took half home to devour later.
The Prices are really inexpensive for the size of what you get.
The Staff were Friendly and helpful.
I would have given 5 Stars...
But for the Man that thought it was okay to sit inside and smoke cigarettes while people were trying to eat.
(Staff should Definitely have said something).
When he lit up again, that's when I got the rest to go.
First of Many Visits.....
As long as Smoking Man is not there.

Lunch was extremely delicious.
The Falafel were once again Crispy on the outside, whilst soft and moist in the center. Served with a Large mixed salad.
This time we also tried the Desserts.
The Apple Pie was scrumptious, hints of clove and cinnamon, with a giant dollop of fresh whipped cream. Ask them to warm it for you, it makes all the difference.
The Chocolate Cake was filled with Cashews and Almonds, and is a dense slice of Delish. It's also Vegan.
The staff are Wonderful. It's nice to be greeted and remembered, especially as I'd not been there for quite a while.
Prices are Fantastic for the amount of food. The Atmosphere was relaxed and chilled.

What the Heck Happened Last Night???
We fortunately ordered before 6:30pm.
After that the "Wheels Fell Off".
I literally witnessed 16 people get up and walk out because NO ONE had approached them to take there orders after 20 minutes.
I saw people waiting about 30 minutes for their meals.
At 7:30 they'd run out of Pita Bread....that's one of the basics of the meals.
There was NO STAFF AT FRONT OF HOUSE. They were ALL in the Kitchen.
This was a Shocker and Extremely Disappointing to witness.
The Night Staff cannot handle the Pressure.
I'd noticed similar the night before.
The day staff never have any problems and just breeze through order after order.

They've taken some things off the menu.
Taken away a few sides.
No Apple Pie.
They'd made No Babaganoush on a Saturday. What???
