Missing pictures…read more... Quality/Quantity - Just follow the line. Just look for the longest and busiest line and it will be there. Actually, there are two lines, one for take away (on the left) and one for sit down. Both lines are just as long, but the take away moves much faster. Fairly organized. For the take away side, an employee takes orders while you wait in line, to expedite the process. (If you are from CA, think of an In and Out burger drive thru business model). Overall the food is good and reasonably priced. And great advertising seeing everyone walk around with your "sandwiches." Ambiance - Crazy busy. Both inside and outside. But plenty of employees (again both inside and outside). Fairly organized considering the volume. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable.10-15 Euros for a pita sandwich. $11.60 to $17.50 US. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1978.

While out on a self-guided walking tour I found myself in the old Jewish quarter of Paris…read more Fallafel joints appeared plentiful but only L'As du Fallafel screamed out as the one to dine at. On first pass, there was a line at the take-out window. When I returned to dine in, there was a rather significant line there as well. My party of 2 was apparently the magic number because they had us stand in the front of the line and we were seated inside almost immediately. The food here is served so rapidly that I seriously doubt anyone needs to wait long as there's a constant turning of tables. Schwarma and Fallafel and whatever else we consumed here was so fresh, delicious, and satisfying that I tried coming back here again the night before leaving Paris. Unfortunately for me, they close early on Shabbat, so I had to be satisfied with my single visit. Outstanding experience, delicious food as over 2,000 reviews already attested to.

A friend of mine told me I had to eat here while I was in Paris. I was a bit skeptical, because I…read moredidn't come here for Lebanese food. I am so glad we got to experience this place! We ordered a variety of traditional foods and shared, to get to try more of their options. I know when you're traveling in Paris, you only have a limited number of meals and you don't wanna waste one. This is worth it!

I never give one star but this place is beyond anything I have seen when it comes to service. I was…read moresitting with my back to their central way and suddenly a knife hit the back of my head coming at a high speed. My skull was definitely impacted. I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.

Don't forget to order chicken liver (sawdah djeij) on menu. No need to mention the real Lebanese tabbouleh, Hommos, Labneh and Ksara Reserve du Couvent. Please do not go there for falafel, have falafel at a shop somewhere else! It's just not Lebanese to eat falafel at a restaurant!

what a gem and pleasant hole in the wall discovery! although…read morecommunication was terse and limited, the food speaks for itself! fresh, packed with flavor, and filling. the appetizer had a pleasant array of sauces and chickpea based side dishes (as Mediterranean food usually does). I was enjoying my appetizer so much without knowing it wasn't the main course. then came the main course! three different meats straight off the grill on kebab sticks, lamb chicken and a seasoned sausage that was also probably lamb. anyway the lamb is cooked so well you can barely tell its lamb. oh man, the garlic aoili type sauce is so addicting, I spread that on my pita bread (I think I had 8 slices), and dipped my lamb in it too. everything was so delicious! lastly, came dessert,which my stomach by then had no hope for. the waiter took note of this and kindly packed it for me along with the rest of my unfinished meal, including the pita bread I requested to take home. oh, and don't forget to get some of that garlic (tsaziki?) sauce home too! it'd be a loss if you didn't! all this for 20€ and I've got enough left to have as a dinner! thank you Le Mezzé!h

Jamie W and I definitely felt a need to change it up when it came to our meals in Paris. We knew we…read moreweren't relegated to bistros, brasseries, and boulangeries for our culinary choices, especially in a neighborhood as culturally diverse as Le Marais. That's what drew us to the fresh Israeli fare at this casual cafe. At around 7PM, the place was hopping because there were quite a few people not only dining but also waiting for takeout orders. We planted ourselves at the counter facing the busy prep area where the staff was assembling plates and pitas. We decided to share the 7,50€ Green Beans which looked to be quickly sautéed in lemon, garlic, and olive oil to a fresh, tasty snap (Photo 10). Jamie ordered the 13€ Golden Ratatouille, a healthy melange of eggplant, tomato, zucchini, carrot, and onion mixed in their house tomato sauce with a nice side of hard-boiled egg and tahini (Photo 8). Well, I thought one of us should try their specialty pita sandwiches, so I went with the 13€ Lamb Kebab. It was delicious with big lamb and beef meatballs peeking out of a nice fluffy pita stuffed with red onions and chopped cilantro, mint, and green onions. It was slathered liberally with tahini and their housemade spicy sauce (Photo 9). It was just the Middle Eastern meal we were hankering for. We can have escargots and croissants some other time. FOOD - 4 stars...big pita, saucy ratatouille AMBIANCE - 4 stars...kinda chaotic but comfortable SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty fast TOTAL - 4 stars...a fine Israeli option in Le Marais RELATED - Exploring Paris?

I want to like Miznon more than I actually do. I love the gimmick of full roasted vegetables…read morewithout any seasoning, allowing the diner to doctor to taste. The cauliflower and sweet potato are visually stunning and well-roasted, but ultimately the condiments the restaurant offers don't compensate for the neutral preparation. Even tomato sauce, hot sauce and salt together couldn't coat the cauliflower in a satisfying way. When the vegetable is cooked with the idea of its being a blank canvas, it can't be retroactively perfected. Table salt should be a garnish, not the savior of a meal. The sweet potato fares better since I could mainline that vegetable, but if a roast sweet potato is that good without any seasoning, there's no reason to pay a restaurant premium for one. I am not trying to denigrate the concept of Miznon, because to do so would be to miss the point, but I would argue that I only ever need to experience Miznon once for novelty and then can move on to genuine meals at restaurants that justify the cost of dining out.

My friend was craving Lebanese food and I was more than happy to accomodate. Babylone Cafe is a…read moreno-frills shawarma and falafel shop. You can immediately see the large cone-like roasters of meat. I got the shawarma and falafel combo, that came out in a matter of minutes, served with a pita on the side. As someone who likes heat, I also piled on the harissa sauce. The best part was definitely the falafel - small, round and perfectly fried. At 10€, this is also one of the more affordable meals in Paris.

The best shawarma and falafel I've found yet in Paris…read more This is an unassuming place tucked in a side street near the Bastille. By my standards, they keep weird hours. If you want to sit down at an actual table instead of at the bar or doing take-out, you have to pay more (normal for France, but still off-putting to me). But sacre Bleu! Their food is amazing! The main guy who works there arranges his wraps like a true artist, attentively arranging layer upon layer of sauces and meats and vegetables. I had no idea beets and chopped cabbage could be so good. Eat one of these flavor bombs and you will be pleasantly full for an entire day. The shawarma was juicy and not salted to death like at every other shawarma place in France. The falafel was freshly made and the best I've ever had outside of my personal favorite falafel restaurant back in Los Angeles. Babylone is really cheap- just 6 Euros or so for the wraps. Forget the overpriced brasseries, this is where it's at.

Similar to every other American who has come to Urfa Dürüm, I came here because Anthony Bourdain…read morehighly recommended it. It's a Kurdish restaurant in a gritty part of Paris that sells dürüm wraps, which are essentially a Turkish street food made by rolling soft flatbread around grilled meat and fresh vegetables. After a rough first meal in the City of Light that was a €50 half chicken, my soul needed this. Everything is made to order right in front of your face, and it SHOWS. We went with a chicken and a beef durum that ran €9.50, which gave my Chase Sapphire Preferred card a much needed breather. I'm struggling to find adjectives that describe how good this soft flatbread was, and I'm rarely at a loss for words. The best I can come up with is "tangibly fresh." I preferred the beef to the chicken, as it almost melted in your mouth. So damn tender. Whenever anyone asks me for a Paris rec, Urfa Dürüm will be right near the top of my list. A must hit when in the city that the US Men's Basketball team won a 2024 gold medal in. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

He rolls them out, places them in oven and tosses the final product across the restaurant to a colleague who wraps them. Salad, veggies and hot meat is added, wrapped up and hand delivered to you. The food is delicious delivering you a crunchy mouth watering bite making you want more, highly recommend the beef stick wrap €9.5!!!
