Excellent chicken shawarma in camberwell - and all cheap. The fries are great too. Perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat. It'd be even better if the plastic plates, forks etc would be replaced - hope that'll happen soon too. read more

Falafel & Shawarma - Chicken schawarma wrap - Falafel Near Me - London, XGL

See all

Came here for a quick dinner. Went for a chicken shawarma wrap. Setting: clean and modern, there is no sense of guilt as you walk into the joint. It clearly caters for a more hipster audience. Service: rapid and polite, they had a few wraps pre loaded with veg on the counter. Food: they only serve falafel, chicken shawarma and shawarma wrap with one rotisserie of chicken. The wrap was delicious and bread excellent. Sauces were very complementary, tho a touch messy. Veg is sliced very thin and actually adds flavour to the food rather than being a pointless filler. Overall: a worthwhile place to get a kebab without feeling guilty over your life decisions read more

I worship this place; I go every week before rehearsal, so it's sort of a pilgrimage. I've tried everything on the menu and it's all fantastiche. Fresh falafel, juicy chicken, immense mezze. All less than a fiver. For the love of God - or just good, cheap grub - go! read more

My search for the best falafels in town has come to an end. Falafel is a relatively newly opened Lebanese restaurant and takeaway in the busy part of Camberwell Church Street, and I happened upon it quite by chance a few weeks ago when I was playing a gig at The Marlborough, a nearby pub. My set time was pushed back by an hour and a half and I hadn't had time to eat before leaving the house, so I loads of time to wander along the street trying to find something filling enough to give me energy but light enough that I'd still be able to sing! Falafel was the answer, I decided, and Falafel was the first place I came across as I made my way back towards Camberwell Green. The man behind the counter was very friendly and chatty and gave me a piece of falafel to try out while I waited for mine to be cooked. I was very pleased - it was delicious. Crunchier and less greasy than any falafel I'd ever tried before, and much more flavoursome. To make conversation I mentioned how nice the tabbouleh salad looked, and he only went and gave me some to take with me as a little present! I'm happy to say my takeaway falafels were just as good as the little tester, and not only were they nice and light, but the whole thing was wrapped in such a way that it was actually eatable on the move. I don't know what wraps they use but they're far superior to the standard pittas that get soggy and collapse straight away, and the salad was all wrapped up nicely with it as well instead of piled on top of everything else as usual. In short - the falafel sandwich was awesome, and there was lots more on the menu including vegetable curry, the aforementioned tabbouleh, halloumi dishes and more. There are tables and chairs in the restaurant too, so you don't have to walk down the street chomping your dinner. I walked by Falafel again about a week after my delightful falafel but had just eaten dinner, unfortunately, so I didn't go in. My friend from behind the counter was standing at the doorway though and as he spied me held out one of his taster falafels for me to grab as I went by. That's the sort of mobile snackage I'm talking about! read more

I always buy a chicken shawarma wrap here even if I pass by or even when I'm home through Uber eats. Even if I put with cutleries and napkins, they don't put the cutleries and napkins. I ordered twice through Uber eats and the falafel is different. They just put the sauces whichever they want. Firstly, there's no chilli, secondly, it was very spicy. So I'm not sure how can I order here. I went to the store and didn't ask me if I want chilli or garlic but the next guy next to me asked him if he wants chilli or garlic. Then, he told me in a rude way "next time tell me if you want chilli or garlic cause it's there". I work in a restaurant and I wasn't treated very well here. I guess ethnicity is important here as I am from Asia. read more

This place is legendary for everything. I have to resist eating here every time I pass, even though it's so cheap! I don't live nearby anymore and this restaurant is one of the things I miss the most. Maybe. read more

So there am I, crippled with one of the worst hangovers in living memory (they're not getting any easier with the years, I'll tell you that much), nothing to eat in the house to help matters, then I remembered the Falafel shawarma wrap was only a few minutes' walk, and £3.50 away. Lifesaver. Probably the equivalent of having six Nurofens and a gallon of water in one sitting - though a lot less dangerous than that probably is. The only other local meal I've had that can hold a candle to it in terms of mercilessly zapping your hangover would be the chicken suya at Obalende Express, but that's over in Peckham and sometimes you need these things close to hand. ANYWAY Falafel obviously isn't just good for when you're in dire need of life-giving nourishment. At £3 the falafel wrap is also astonishingly good value. Get some aubergine in it for an extra 50p, it's worth it - and a freshly-squeezed juice (usually carrot). Settle back with a bit of "Arab Idol" on the telly, locals popping in and out with their little'uns - Falafel is definitely much-loved by anyone who appreciates seriously good value for money. (And yes, with the amount of students in Camberwell, they're onto a winner). In fact, I'd go as far as to say this place is almost definitely the best value for miles around, and there's some competition for that title down here in SE5! read more

The BEST chicken shawarma I've had in agessssss. They don't overdo their food, and the best thing about the wrap is that they grill the wrap crispy before serving. So cheap, so good. A nice place to hangout and very quick if you want to takeaway too. Recommended. read more

Good falafel-shwarma place with friendly service and quick service for takeaway. Food is light but filling. Fiver for an order of stuffed vine leaves and either a falafel or shwarma wrap is value that is tough to beat read more

Very good, friendly, reasonably priced. My only complaint is that he drinks are served in styrofoam and plastic rather than glass cups, even if you're eating in. That's a shame because it's wasteful, bad for the environment. And the styrofoam tray as well. But the food is good. read more

Falafel is a Lebanese takeaway / restaurant that has been open for about a couple of years. Now, not knowing much (actually, make that anything) about Lebanese cuisine I hadn't realised that 'Falafel' is actually the name of a dish (and not just the name of the restaurant). The first time I visited the premises, on entering, I was greeted by one of the friendliest restaurateurs in the area. Clearly passionate about Lebanese food, he proceeded to give me an explanation of all dishes on offer, and gave me a free falafel which was extremely tasty. Since then I've had falafel sandwiches, spicy lamb meatballs, vegetable curry and a kind of chicken stew (apologies for not remembering the Lebanese names for the dishes I've had). Each time the food has been excellent really tasty and filling. There are also 'standard' kebabs on offer. The premises itself is of the no frills variety very basic but clean. It suits itself more to a quick bite than a sit down meal, and Falafel tends to cater more for take-away custom. The food is relatively cheap (the aforementioned meatballs and rice cost around £4.95). The combination of decent well priced food makes Falafel popular with students and local workers who want food that is clearly a cut above the usual fast food dross but at a reasonable price. Falafel seems to be a success which is good to see because (1) it means more variety of good food in the locale and (2) because the business owner is a nice guy. Highly recommended. p.s. You must try the carrot and apple juice smoothy!! read more

One of my favourite places to eat in London. Their falafel sandwiches and juices are incredible. Much more flavour and variety of ingredients than your average Turkish kebab/wrap - and the staff are genuine, chatty and nice. read more

Been here lots of times when I'm visiting friends in Camberwell. Usually I have the chicken shawarma which is nice and full of chicken with salad and not soggy at all as with most kebab places. At £3.50 this is the best value in town, The salads are especially fresh and tasty. Sometimes I go for the mezze platter which is salad, rice, potatoes, hummus, falafel and a samosa too. Huge and scrumptious and only £4.50. The owner is very friendly and I'm always taking the mick out of the server who hardly ever smiles - she knows who she is! The water is only 50p and the carrot juice isn't much more. Its very clean and you can see the food is very, very fresh. Wish they would open a branch in Borough. read more

The best bang for your buck, if you are in the mood for a quick shawarma or a falafel. Cheap and great tasting food. Don't expect any frills but high quality and I highly recommend it if you are in the area. read more

As others have said, this is an extremely friendly cafe/takeaway, offering inexpensive and often delicious food. The eponymous falafel comes served in the superior Lebanese fashion, wrapped up tightly in a flatbread, with a salad of lettuce, onion, tomato and parsley, pickles and jalapenos if you want them, and chilli and yoghurt sauces. The falafel are of the crisp, light variety, and while perhaps less punchy than some others I've had, they are delicious either solo (the owner often gives you a free one while you wait for your food, as others said), or amid the rest of the goodness. All this for £3, even if you eat in. Your wrap comes simply wrapped up in paper, avoiding that rather depressing and unsightly polystyrene packaging favoured by some outlets. There's plenty else besides this on offer, including hearty chicken and lamb stews, lamb and chicken shwamas, and delicious lentil soup, costing just £1 for a modest but sufficient bowl. read more

Such good food and great prices. The guy behind the counter is great at his job! I eat here every day and always have the best experience. There's a small menu but all delicious. A full meal can cost under £5! Great for a student budget read more

I used to love getting takeaways from this place because of the food quality and their prices until one day I visited to eat in with my family. My family and I were waiting for our orders at our table but we relalised it was dirty; there was food everywhere and it even felt sticky, which is understandable it's a food place! And it happens in all food places! We asked the lady behind the counter if someone could clean it for us and she replied no. It was a very vague reply but we understood that she might have been stressed as it was very busy. We asked again and she said "No, I'll give you a cloth and you can do it yourself." When my dad heard this he got up to ask why and she replied "this is not an eat in this is a takeaway, you're not supposed to sit here and eat." So my dad said if that's the case then why did you ask us if we wanted to eat in or take way when we ordered our food? and why are there tables and seats? The woman simply replied "it's up to you, you can go somewhere else." This was extremely rude for no reason. read more
