    Falafel Sandwich
    Ploy N.

    Famous falafel spot in the Marais. There was a bit of a line right when they opened but they're efficient about it. We split the Falafel Signature sandwich and it's tasty. The Falafel balls were crispy and fresh. I loved the addition of roasted eggplants and the spicy sauce added a nice kick to the sandwich as well. Not the best I've ever had but a fun snack nonetheless.

    VEGAN REVIEW My friend recommended this place vehemently & I was a little like... what's the big deal, it's falafel... YOU GUYS IT IS SO DELICIOUS The falafel is perfection, as are all the side dips, salads & breads. Dine in if you can, the menu is larger (plates & such) Service is SO FAST Lenny Kravitz loved this place, so you know it's good LOL

    As someone who goes to Paris quite often, I am always on the hunt for some new places to eat at. I stumbled upon L'As du Fallafel, and this restaurant had some delicious dishes to try! It is a very busy spot, so finding a seat can be quite difficult. But the service is really fast and the servers are also very kind. Prices do differ if you want to dine in vs take out. Now on to the food, the falafel plate is delicious and with the portion sizes are big so can definitely be shareable! The sandwiches are very fresh, have great flavour and its just packed with so much ingredients! 9/10 recommend!

    I mean, yeah come on. The food is phenomenal. Not a long wait, great service and staff who keep the line moving. Very authentic and a great mix of textures and flavors. Tried the lamb shawarma and falafel pita. DELISH

    Falafel special

    We made a stop here for a late night snack, I was excited to give them a try after seeing all the raving reviews. I decided to order the Falafel special, which comes with falafel, veggies, eggplant, tahini sauce, and hot sauce in a pita. The pita was packed with everything and I really liked the falafel, it was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The hot sauce also had that spicy kick that spicy lovers will enjoy. The tahini was just okay though, I felt like I had better tahini at other places in the states. Overall, the falafel pita was pretty good, but the tahini brought it down a little bit. Compared to other places I've been to in the states, I felt like the white sauce wasn't better. With that in mind, it's still a pretty good spot to get your falafel fix in.

    While waking around the old Jewish quarter our local friend suggested we come here to get takeout and go eat in a nearby park. We were told they usually have a long line but it wasn't bad that day. We got a bunch of schawarmas and fries - all quite delicious and for Paris a 15 euro schawarma with juicy tasty meat is reasonable. They have seating inside but on a nice day the hidden gem of a park just a few steps to the right of it is a much more pleasant venue.

    Not my first time dining here; it's a must do each time we are in Paris. Don't be dissuaded if you see a line at the door, it moves quickly. I adore their food and so does everyone else as it's always filled with locals! You may consider sharing a few things because portions are large.

    Falafel

    By far the best falafel in the world (and yes I've had a lot of falafel in the US and internationally including Egypt). Absolutely incredible. Quick service even if you are waiting in line to sit down (wait is usually 20 minutes or less). The guy writing your name down is hilarious and fun. If you don't want to sit down there is a to go line that is quick. The restaurant itself is like a fast food seating with basic chairs and tables that is semi clean. Service is definitely very quick. The food is absolutely amazing. The hot sauce is fantastic. The veggies are fresh. I could eat this everyday. I'm so sad it's in Paris and would love for it to be in the USA It is a must go otherwise you didn't do Paris right! Scrap the Michelin stars and go here

    The first time we came here, my family loved it. We came in the winter and it was the perfect hot meal and the falafel was super crispy. Now, two years later, we came back and felt that it was alright. There are always lines but it goes relatively quick. The falafel is probably the best falafel we've ever tried, but the shawarma in a pita was ok and the rest of the veggies and sauces in the falafel were not the best we've ever had (best meat in pita we've had is Falafel Stop in northern california).

    I had seen this place on TikTok and was wanting to try it out. I finally had the chance to do it with a friend that was visiting me. We decided to dine in and the wait was about 40 minutes, which wasn't too bad we just went to a coffee shop and chilled. We came back in 40 minutes and were seated immediately. I decided on the grilled chicken medallion pita sandwich as well as a side of fries. The food came pretty quickly within 10 minutes. This sandwich was HUGE! It was filled to the brim with chicken, lettuce, tomato, eggplant, cucumber and lots of sauce. They did put tahini on here, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I still enjoyed it. It was so filling and delicious. The pita was warm and fresh as well as all the toppings. Our waiter brought out a cup of this spicy sauce that was the star of the show for me. It wasn't super spicy, but the flavor was amazing. I put it on every bite. The French fries were pretty standard, but yummy. For 2 pita sandwiches, a drink and fries our total was 44 euros.

    Falafel in Paris? Definitely!! I know it sounds strange to go to Paris and eat falafel, but L'As du Falafel is one of our favorites. Found it years ago when my husband always wanted to eat falafel sandwiches when we travelled. This one tastes like you are on the Tayelet in Tel Aviv, not the Old Jewish Quarter in Le Marais. So nice to stroll in this trendy area with its cobblestone streets, historic synagogues and quirky boutiques and then grab a table for a falafel plate or pita. The falafel is so good. Just like the family restaurant that my husband's parents used to own. Crispy on the outside. Delicious and moist on the inside. Could have easily split the falafel plate. 10 falafel balls on a plate of hummus, tahini, green cabbage salad, purple cabbage salad, Israeli salad with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and a tomato based dip. Pita included. So yummy!! My hubby had....a falafel pita sandwich and fries. Added a freshly squeezed carrot orange juice. So refreshing. Ask for a large complimentary glass bottle of tap water. Inside and outside dining available. In a rush to get back to the Olympics? Take your order to go. Love falafel? Add this to your list of restaurants in Paris. If you are like our family, you'll be back.

    As soon as the last bite of my falafel pita slid down my throat, I was filled with anguish and despair. I have never in my life wished that I could rewind time and re-eat something more than I had in that very moment. Even though I was stuffed, I seriously considered waiting in line for another 25 minutes and reordering another one of those beautiful creations. Sadly, I reminded myself that gluttony is a sin, and continued on my journey. I ordered the falafel special pita with everything on it. The chef was kind and prepared my falafel quickly. If you line up in the takeout window, you're not allowed to sit so keep that in mind! I had to eat my falafel while standing up outside the restaurant, but I didn't mind, it added to the experience. I have tasted many falafel pitas in many different cities, and this is one of the best I've ever had. Many restaurants that serve falafel pitas can't make one that isn't dry after the third bite, L'As du Fallafel does not have that problem. Every single bite was a head-nodding bite. The textures and flavors were perfect; tens across the board. I am so glad that I did not listen to the reviews stating that this place is overrated - it is not. Yes the line is very long and you might wait around 30 minutes before you get to order, but it is warranted. Stand in that line proudly and know that your mouth is about to go on a heavenly journey.

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.

However, I was visiting Le Marais with a local who assured us that he had tried both Mi Va Mi and L'as Du and couldn't figure out any discernible difference between the two. (I guess it's one of those Geno's vs. Pat's situations.) I was ready to eat, so I opted for Mi Va Mi. The falafel was exceptional! It's fried fresh and it was just delicious. I also appreciated the addition of fried eggplant on top. So good! My favorite falafel experience of all time. I only wish I had gotten more of their "spicy sauce" which wasn't terribly spicy, but very garlicky! My husband got a grilled sausage and enjoyed that, but returned after finishing his sausage for a plate of just plain falafel. The staff was super nice!

We ended up here for our first bite in France because L'As du Fallafel was on vacay (and they were randomly closed another day when we tried to go back, so I can't make a comparison until next time we travel to France) We got the PITA CHAWARMA (11€) to-go, and this put pita sandwiches in America to shame. ** Mi Va Mi's version was huge, and it was the perfect amount to be shared by two people for a light lunch while leaving stomach space for pastries ** It had a generous portion of grilled turkey and chopped cucumbers, drizzled in a yummy yogurt sauce, and wrapped in a fluffy fresh pita ** In my opinion, I think they could have gone lighter on the yogurt sauce since it was dripping and soggy. I think this is the first time ever that I didn't mind a soggy sandwich though, because the flavor was sooo delicious ** There's something about the pita too, that was reminiscent of the taste and texture of focaccia ** I had expected the shawarma to be the star, but instead I was impressed by how well the pita sandwich came together as a whole. It was hearty and satisfying without being too salty or heavy Tips: - They are speedy! Food was ready shortly after we ordered since they assemble everything on the spot - Spicy and non-spicy options - Small dining areas indoor and outdoors (plan on just standing in the picturesque alleyway) - It's a bit messy to eat even with forks, but this makes for an awesome street food experience

We walked to the Jewish quarter in the Marais for L'as Du Falafel but it was closed unfortunate due to Roshashana. I had heard online that King Falafel Palace was just as good if not better so we ordered dinner to go (emporter). I am now a convert! The falafel sandwich not only has all the usual ingredients ( falafel, pickled cabbage, tomato cucumber salad, tahini and a lovely yogurt sauce that is tangier and thicker than taziki), but it also contains the most delicious fried eggplant. We loved the French fries ( my son likes them with less salt). We also got the falafel plate for my younger son and it came also with some pickled peppers and fried onion crisp.

This falafel place seems to have a policy where you're under no circumstances allowed to sit at a table, even after you've bought food there unless you've opted to eat in off the menu that is a couple euros more expensive (even if you're just waiting for your food to be prepared!). I had just bought food to go, and decided I wanted to sit and facetime my family while I ate, so I sat at one of the many empty tables. An employee quickly urged me to get up from the table and tell me that since I didn't pay for "table service", then I couldn't sit. He was kind about it, but still it was embarrassing to be ushered away from the table while holding the food I JUST bought there, especially when this place was pretty empty compared to the booming place to its left. It's an incredibly silly and scam-y policy given that the restaurant is the same level of a food truck in terms of accommodations. To put it simply, this isn't a place that requires much "table service". Anyway, the pita falafel was good, and the wait time compared to the much more popular place next door was much less (they had a line that looked about 30 to 40 minutes long). So if you want a quick bite it's an okay place apart from their table policy.
