Well first I should say Google didn't tell us this is a vegetarian place. We got a reservation and…read morecancellation would have been 10 euro for each person. However, when we realized it is vegetarian they kindly told us they won't charge us if we leave but they strongly believed we will love it if we stay so we stayed. The starter was truly amazing. It was 4 pancakes with some pumpkin, beets, hummus and nut paste that was unbelievable But the main courses were only ok. Maybe because we really craved meat I mean don't get me wrong hummus is nice but it's not steak The tortellini was good but the mushroom really was just meh. The place had a beautiful ambiance, clean and friendly.

The shawarma made me feel sick after eating it and the fatoush salad was very soggy. I'd suggest them to find a different way to serve the fatoush salad for delivery, maybe keep the dressing on the side for the customer to add it. As for the shawarma, I'm not sure why it made me sick... maybe I made a mistake ordering this during the summer... I can not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Coming from a full-born Middle Eastern, Falafeleria had some of the best falafel and my favorite…read moresabich ever. You have the option between a bowl and a pita for both, and all the proper accoutrements for a proper falafel. The hummus is exactly what you want and the tahini is to die for. The vibes here are great too, grab a beer with whatever you order. My only complaint would be that they do not give enough fries for the price. other than that, if you are looking for a good falafel or sabich, make sure to give Falafelria a chance.

Walking around the La Latino portion of Madrid and was…read morestruck by the line outside Falafeleria. We had not had lunch and have travel all over Madrid today and thought a quick bite of Mediterranean food sounded good. We went inside to find one lady behind the counter working by herself. She is a machine! We were given an English menu and looked around to see what others were eating. I ordered the falafel pita with hummus, tahini, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, spice, pickles and tumeric sauce. This pita was stuffed and it took both hands to eat. My wife ordered the hummus bowl with tahini, onions, chickpeas and olive oil. A perfectly warm, fluffy pita was also included. The falafel balls were great and flavor packed. It took all my energy to finish this packed pita. The tumeric and carrots were a different taste and enjoyable. A good choice. The hummus bowl with soft chickpeas were delicious. Hummas is always great with a warm pita. Again, the value was also good especially for the generous portions. Looking for good value and tasty food, do yourself a favor and stop at Falafeleria at lunch. To the young lady behind the counter, great service and thank you.

After several bad run-ins with what passes as hummus in Spain, I knew the only place to get my fix would be from a Middle Eastern restaurant. Luckily, this place was around the corner from my hostel, making it both conveniently located AND delicious. WIN. I ordered the shawerma plate with a mango juice and mmmmmm. SO SO good. The meat was a tad more well done than I would have liked but otherwise the plate was perfection. The portion was incredibly generous but it didn't stop me from finishing the plate...that's how good it was. Service was very efficient, especially by Spanish standards but overall no complaints. I'd come back in a second!

Falafel shops, holes in the wall, are everywhere in Lavapies. You go in there, into any one of…read morethem, and eat the junk food they serve, buy a bucket of beer, and later you're gifted with bowel issues. That's just how it works, and you accept it. The beers you enjoy less than the company you're with, and the food less still. These sorts of experiences are a dime a dozen. Beirut, however, offers glorious respite from the monotony of these endless falafel-shop copies. Its terrace, in spite of being situated on a corner of a crossroad, is quiet and shady, and seats twenty or so. The ambiance here, in a less-traveled nook of the neighborhood, leaves Calle Argumosa (and all of its falafel shops) in the dust. For the same price that you can buy a gut-bomb elsewhere, you can have a delicious shawarma, falafel, or kebab prepared to order, in the moment at Beirut. There is a proper kitchen run by a woman and who I assume is her husband. The latter waits tables and has always been friendly with us. When I have brought my Spanish friends here, to this relative unknown, they have all been thrilled saying that it's just about impossible to find common street food this good elsewhere. Oh, and they also offer combo platters that are WAY TOO MUCH food for one person, replete with a variety of sauces (all delicious). And that's why I've taken the time to write this review: Beirut, compared to the other Moroccan/Middle Eastern places around Lavapies, offers a far superior experience both in food quality and setting. It's one of my favorite restaurants to visit.

They saw us (the place is tiny, only 9 tables) but were busy fixing some mess --looked like delayed orders. We ordered the veg combo plate: hummus, falafel, mohamara, baba ganouj, grape leaves & pita bread for 10€. A generous & nicely-presented plate arrived. Everything was fine except the hummus, which was watery & insipid. The baba wasn't quite up to par either; it lacked that nice smokey flavor but worse, tasted a bit acidic, like it was a day or two past its prime. The guys running the place were nice, but how do you f*ck up hummus & baba ghanouj?
