Known as the best place for falafel in Paris, but I would say the other food is great as well. While the falafel didn't blow me away, maybe I should have tried it in a sandwich (what they seem to be known for)? Instead, since we were sitting down inside to eat, we got the falafel balls, shawarma platter, mixed meats platter, shakshuka, and grilled eggplant with tahini. Everything was pretty good and they seem to always be busy and have a line around the corner. I would come back, but maybe not if it's too long of a wait. read more

What a big let down.......:( After researching and planning what to eat in Paris, L'As du Fallafel was recommended by so many friends, yelpers and googlers, that I was looking forward to this. One word- overhyped. We came in during dinner time on Xmas eve, surprisingly there was no wait at all. We decided to dine in as we planned to order a variety. We went with: Israeli plate (fallafel balls with hummus) - this was okay, on the heavier end. Special Fallafel (most popular item, vegan) - this was such a let down. It was a bit bland, had better fallafel in Greece, didn't finish. Lamb and beef shawarma plate - this was the best plate for me. The lamb and beef was pretty bomb. However my cousin said he has had better... Overall, I'm not sure what the hype is about. I'll probably recommend it to try it once as maybe it's just my taste. However, my cousin and I will probably find alternatives next time around. read more

I've heard great things about this restaurant, and my travelling companion said she adored it last time she was in Paris, so I decided to give it a go! The service was very quick, and the staff was kind, but my my was the place busy. Certainly not a place to go for a relaxing meal in peace and quiet! But the atmosphere, however crowded and loud, wasn't bad. I really liked the decorations etc! Everything was just very crammed together, but I understand that it's probably just because the place is so popular! As for the food, I feel bad because I didn't particularly enjoy it. However, I'm a picky eater, and I hadn't had falafel before, so perhaps it was just a bit too far out of my comfort zone. Nothing tasted bad necessarily, it just wasn't something I was used to. So if you have a taste for falafel, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! read more

L'As du Fallafel - Table, falafel, assiette falafel - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

There will be a line here whether you are doing take away or dine in. I got in line for take away and they also get you because when you get in line you place your order, pay, and given a ticket of your order making you wait in line. Once you reach the front you give your ticket and then your food is made to order. I had the falafel sandwich and I really enjoyed it. It was packed with meat and sauces. A really good sandwich. read more

TLDR: This is Lenny Kravitz' favorite. ___ There are pics of Lenny Kravitz everywhere and they mention on the menus that this is his favorite falafel. If he's the barometer and the human embodiment of Yelp...well, then I give this place 5 Lenny Kravitz. Ok. Fallafel in Paris? Yes. When 5 different people tell me I HAVE to go here, I listen. Lucky enough to beat the insane crowds and sat inside. It wasn't too busy on midweek day at 4pm. I hear the lines get insane here, so try and come on an off time. Snagged a table for 2 - and while they were super small, I was glad to sit down for a bit after a long morning of walking around. We went with two pitas: Schwarma - we got this one in case the Falafel wasn't great. Man. the falafel was actually better. This one was GOOD. REALLY GOOD. But go with the falafel if you're unsure. Falafel- The best falafel I've ever had. Hands down. The flavors in this pita pocket were insane. The crunch. The freshness. The sauces. Every bit was a different adventure. Fries - got some fries on the side and they were good. I love they serve fries with mayo in Europe. Sooo good. read more

I arrived at this restaurant on a weeknight after 6PM and it wasn't too busy. I was able to get a seat inside the restaurant immediately than get food to-go. Their food is every bit as good as people have hyped it up to be! You cannot go wrong with the Assiette Isralienne! I need to try more of their dishes the next time I return. read more

As good as everyone said. On a steer filled with Fallafel shops, this was amazing. You have the option to order from the window and take it to go. The line is huge, but it moves fast.

After hearing about this fallafel place by word of mouth and confirming it rated so high with so many reviews on yelp, my friend and I decided to venture out to eat. It's in a cute neighborhood with lots of small shops and eateries and we found this place quickly because of the long line outside. But don't let the line fool you, it goes by fast and we were seated quickly and served immediately. They have a system down and it works. We both ordered the fallafel special. It was so good! We doused our fallafels with their hot sauce but it was not spicy enough so we added some cayenne pepper I happened to have in my purse. We both love our food spicy so this has been our thing, to carry a bottle of cayenne pepper with us at all times! The spiciness made this experience so much better! Definitely need to try this place again! read more

Cannot be beat for falafel. Ask Lenny. This place has the best falafel I've ever had.

fire. came here for dinner in 2020 and have been thinking of it since. love the eggplant spread on the falafel sandwich. service was excellent. very friendly. ambiance was nice, people dining from all over the world plus locals love it too. I Will be back!! hopefully in 2024. read more

So delicious! We passed by here the first night and were shocked to see such a huge line. We came by the next day prepared to wait, but were pleasantly surprised with how quickly the line moved. The staff is very efficient and ask you what you want while you're waiting. There are two lines. The one on the left is to-go and the right is to be seated. We waited in the to-go lone and got our food in about 10 minutes! We both got the falafel with all the fixings. It was delicious! I believe we paid about €7.5 for each? We were happy to see that they stuffed the pita to its brim and were generous with the toppings and sauce. The falafel was moist and the pita was perfectly fluffy. Alongside all the sauce, it was a perfect meal and we were stuffed after! I would love to go back to try the shawarma, but until then, I am entirely satisfied! read more

The fallafel on pita is huge and very difficult to eat while walking. Make sure you grab plenty of napkins because you will need them. On Friday July 22, 2016 I was wandering around Le Marais after I ended up cancelling fancy dinner reservations somewhere else and I just stumbled upon this place. I knew I better just buy a fallafel pita and make my way back to my apartment because who knew if I would ever find it again. My apartment was about a half mile away and I thought I would just eat it there, but I ended up shoving my face inside the huge sandwich while walking back. I ended up with sauce everywhere which is problematic when you have to unlock about five doors to get back inside your apartment. What a mess. Next time I would tell them to go easy on the sauce or maybe get it on the side. I did not take a photo of the sandwich because I didn't have a way to hold my drink, sandwich and take a photo at the same time, but there are plenty to look at. read more

L'As du Fallafel - Front - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

One of the best Falafel I ever ate! In the trendy Marais neighborhood you find the Jewish quarter that it's basic one Street you find L'As du Falafel. There is always a line to get a table but its a short wait and you also have the pick up option as well. They serve all typical Israeli food, including shawarma and shakshuka.., the menu is extensive. We had the humus and falafel plate, and falafel in the pita and shawarma. Simply delicious!!!. I suggest you to walk around the Marais area and see all the cool places but stop at La's to have a great, well made and cheap Middle Eastern meal! read more

The best Middle Eastern food in Paris. It's a must when I'm there, but be prepared to wait. It definitely is worth it.

OOF THE LINE. Up a slight hill in Les Marais, I advise you not to bring any suitcases here if you're thinking of making a quick stop before the airport, getting to that Airbnb, or any other shenanigans. The streets can be narrow, cobbled, and with a surprisingly number of delivery trucks trying to maneuver around, they don't need you and your suitcase trying to press against the walls. After getting here though (yes, we were the ones with suitcases transiting between Airbnbs), it was quick through the take-out window. All of us got the falafel and mmmmm it was aight. By "aight", I meant that was my first time having falafel so I have nothing to compare it to haha. But if proclaimed the best in Paris, then I'll pretend it'll be better than anything I can find in the States. (Challenge accepted, I'm on the hunt for the best falafel in the States now.) Huge serving of food with great flavors on the eggplant. Mysterious white sauce was abundant but made the whole pita delicious. Ignorant me didn't realize it was vegetarian (idk why) but after I found out, I did have an urge to get back in line for something more meaty. But given that I couldn't even finish the falafel itself, it would have been a waste to get more food. Highly recommended, if only for the hype. If you're a falafel fan, definitely come and check it out to see how it compares. Based on the reviews though, I'll say that they're doing pretty damn well. read more

L'As du Fallafel - Three falafels please. - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

Oh yes!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! I know, who goes to Paris and eats falafel?! When it's supposedly some of the world's best, this girl does! We headed to The Old Jewish Quarter in La Marais super late at night where the falafel is plentiful, but THIS is where you're supposed to go. It was almost midnight and there was no line!! From what I hear, the lines are insane so if you, like us, we're still on a different time zone, head over! Despite it being almost closing time, the staff who hail from Tel Aviv were super friendly and welcoming. The menu is limited at night, but they were still offering what we wanted...packed falafel veggie pita, 10 falafel balls with tahini drizzle, house-made fries, and Maccabbe beer. Everything was delicious!! The balls were on the smaller side, but big on flavor. They were fried perfectly! The pita was packed! It was messy and overflowing, just the way it should be. The fries while a tad soft, were really good too! We were stunned by how low the prices were! €6 for the sammy. Just €3 for the 10 balls! So glad we did indeed make it here and glad we came late at night too. We decided to just sit out on the street so we wouldn't be rushed if they were closing up. One of the guys leaving pulled up in his car and played some Israeli music, making the whole experience that much more fun...and authentic! Would come back for sure! And suggest you save at least one casual meal in Paris for this incredible falafel! Definitely a top favorite I've ever had, and I eat a lot of it! read more

Visited for lunch on our recent trip to Paris, to try their falafels and they did not disappoint. The actual falafel sandwich was too big for me to even try to maneuver, so I made my own mini version with their falafel plate. The pita was delicious, the hummus was good, the harissa was tasty and the falafel was delicious. It was the right amount of crispy, flavorful with spices and a good size. The guy helping us spoke some English, and was very friendly. This is a great spot to stop by if you want a break from some French cuisine, for lighter fare or just for an afternoon snack! read more

We came here at 2:30 pm on a Tuesday and were immediately seated. I much prefer this option as the falafel is HUGE and I don't know how you can eat it walking around without making a big mess. For 8 euros, you can taste one of the best falafels in the world. The falafels are plump and fried to perfection, i.e. not greasy at all but with a soft center and a satisfyingly crunchy exterior. The pita is bursting with a myriad of sauces and veggies that hits all the flavor profiles and your taste buds will be dancing. L'As also performed pita-bread magic by somehow preventing the pita bread from becoming soggy even as you near the end so that you can still snack on the bottom pita bread. A must-stop if you are in Le Marais! read more

L'As du Fallafel is my go-to place for falafel in Paris, or anywhere. The falafel balls are crunchy on the outside and tender inside and well flavored, the way great falafel should be. What makes this the best eatery of this type I've been to are, in addition to the falafel, the generous portions of delicious sides that come with it. THE place for falafel! read more

Don't be afraid of the line! They all move quickly. We chose to sit inside and waited maybe 20 minutes. Service is so fast, your head will spin. Falafal is naturally vegetarian but they might fry it in meat fat, so you need to order it vegetarian if you are. It is also not gluten-free. The hubs liked his sandwich, The fries were great. Worth expereincing once. read more

BEST FALLAFEL IN THE WORLD. Hands down, no question. Here is what you need to know: 1. Closed Saturdays. 2. Yes, there is a line but it moves fast. 3. Get the spicy sauce. (Picante, in case you wanted to say it in French.) 4. The fries are solid and wonderful. 5. The eggplant/aubergine is the BEST. PART. It's crispy yet soft but flavorful... it's amazing. 6 euros for an amazing yet filling meal... it's actually one of the best things. And wandering around Le Marais with your falafel is a great way to spend a day/night. Please open in NYC!! read more

There is a to go stand for this restaurant that's open earlier as well as a sit down restaurant that opens later so be aware of what location you go to! We came across this place while exploring Le Marais and heard it was the best falafel in town so we had to go check it out! I've never had falafel before this visit and I'm not sure I really like it but this falafel wasn't bad at all! The line wasn't too long but I can see where the lines can get huge. It was only open for 10 mins and there was already a line at the to go counter. We got up and I asked for the most popular item. It was a pita filled with veggies, like eggplant, 3-4 balls of falafel and topped with a spicy and white sauce. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the falafel but it was pretty crispy and fresh as well as fast! It was only 6€ as well. Falafels aren't my favorite thing in the world, but I think if you're a falafel fan, this place is sure to hit the spot. read more

A must visit if you are in Le Marais! It's great for a quick and cheap bite to eat in between exploring. When we got there, there was a line out the door. Fortunately, it moved quite quickly. My friends and I were seated in no time at all. We ordered the falafel with pita bread (of course). Originally, we wanted to try it as a snack since we were only in Paris for the day, but it was so filling. So, this definitely makes a good stop for lunch or the share one for a snack. In addition to the crispy falafel, they were quite generous with the vegetables - a lot of tomatoes, onions, shredded purple cabbage, cucumbers, and my personal favorite, the eggplant. So yes, a fork is necessarily for this sandwich! First impressions: It was so flavorful, and it had the perfect amount of tahini sauce so that it wasn't dry. They have a variety of hot sauces and black pepper on the table for you to use. The atmosphere? The shop was quite cozy, with a mix of locals and tourists. The service was great and really quick; it was definitely no nonsense and super efficient. I would definitely come back here if I find myself in Paris again. So, if you're walking along and you see that green painted shop, do pop in; highly recommend for a casual lunch! read more

One word...delicious! We dined inside. If your order a plate know that the portion is huge! Enough for two at least. It's worth the wait. The lady beside us was quite impatient for her order to be taken. Make sure you're not rushed for time. Once your order is taken it arrives quickly. I recommend the mint lemonade. So refreshing! And of course their falafels are top notch. read more

I'll end my French reviews on a high note. Thanks to a hot tip by Joe L, my friends and I got to experience one of the highlights of our time in Paris. Extra-lucky for us, it was pretty close to where we were staying too! Like all best places, they do a few things and they do it well. We got the falafel pita sandwiches with the extra spicy sauce and it was delish! Probably the best falafels I've had anywhere--perfectly fried, not too dry, generously stuffed into a pita with all kinds of fresh and pickled veggies. One sandwich is 6 euros but it's huge and very satisfying. Sure there's usually a long line but it moves fast. Give it a try! STEPH JUDGEMENT: One of the best deals Paris has to offer! read more

I've seen the lines get very long with people waiting for a falafel at this place. I was nervous about the wait time but They have a great system where you order with one of the workers posted out in front of the restaurant, then get in line, give your ticket to the guy in the window and he makes your order. I had 10+ people in front of me and got my order within minutes. I don't know much about falafels as I don't eat them very often but I really enjoyed my falafel sandwich. The pita was soft and warm, they gave me a decent amount of yogurt and hot sauce and the falafel balls themselves were also warm and flavorful. Really great spices and herbs that blended well with their pickled veggies. I tried the other falafel place across the street just to compare and I have to say, that this place deserves the line of customers they get. read more

Long line but quick service. Eat on food or get a table. One of their guys said it would take 14 minutes for us to sit, we waited about 3 minutes. The seating arrangements were too close to other guests but no big deal, at least we got to sit. They are quick and very helpful. The guy helping us yesterday helped so many people who spoke different languages with him. He didn't know the language but was able to understand and help. My wife and I both had their falafel pita sandwich. I'm not a falafel guy, I rather eat shawarma instead. I figured since this place is known for their falafel why not give it a try?. The sandwich was packed. They had about 6 to 8 falafel pieces along with veggies (red cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes and even eggplant). I didn't finish my food but it was delicious. I was a bit hesitant at first but glad I tried it. The sauce was not over powering so our bread was not soggy at all. Anything you need, these guys will get it to you in a snap. read more

Found this place on Thrillist - 50 Things You Need to Eat in Paris Before You Die. Must say, my fiancé and I came here twice. Once we stood in line (moves fast and you must pay first. If you pay by card, you need to pay inside or give euros to the people w/ the fanny packs taking your order while in line) and received food from the window and the next night we dined in. There is a €2 difference from the window to dining in. We ordered the FALAFEL both times and it was AMAZING! MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR SPICY (it's SO good and isn't too, too spicy for those that cannot handle too much spice). Side note: I help out a friend on a mediterranean food truck in LA and must say this falafel blows my taste buds out of the water! FRESH hot falafel and eggplant with a "slaw" in a nice warm pita hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing. Words honestly cannot describe how amazing it is. PLEASE go and give this place a try, I promise you won't regret it!!! read more

My husband and I got sandwiches from here multiple times when we were in Paris last June. I was initially a bit turned off because of the huge line, but they are really fast here, so the line moves quickly. Yes, you'll probably be in line with a bunch of other English-speaking tourists, so if you're looking for a spot where the locals go, this is probably not it. But, the whole area is pretty touristy, so you're probably in the wrong neighborhood if you're trying to escape tourists. Anyway, these sandwiches are incredibly delicious and reasonably priced, so I recommend you try them if you get the chance. No seating here, but you can walk over to the nearby Place des Vosges and enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner. read more

This place is great! The atmosphere is fun, the service is quick and friendly, and the food is amazing. We had 2 falafel sandwiches and split an order of fries. The fries were hot, crispy, and plentiful. The falafel was by far some of the best I've had. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Loved it. Our wait was less than 10 min to dine inside, not sure if we just got lucky or what. Simple but a highlight of the trip foe sure. read more

I vsited L'as du Fallafel twice last week, and both times ordered the special falafel sandwich. Couldn't say what the other menu items taste like, but this sandwich was great and definitely a bargain. Life-changing? Well, no. But easily one of the better falafel sandwiches I've eaten. There's no skimping on these babies; lots of falafel that are nice and crisp on the outside, and pita the way I prefer - with just enough softness and puff. (I read a recent review here by someone who complained about how the pita fell apart but the reviewer said they didn't even eat their sandwiches until two hours after they purchased them... seriously?? Give me a break, what do you expect?). The sandwich has a really nice crunch with the cabbage ... and the eggplant? Brilliant addition. And I'm not even an eggplant fan. Visit #1 the line was short, second time the line took us about 20-25 minutes to go through. If I was starving no I wouldn't wait in a super-long line but both times were definitely worth it to me. If you like spice, definitely ask for them to spice it up for you. As you can probably tell from the "before-I-dug-into-it" photo, I asked for mine extra spicy - lots of sauce! The line for takeaway moves much, much faster than waiting to be seated (there is an adjacent storefront for the sit down restaurant) - so unless you absolutely need to sit at a table, I'd suggest the takeaway line. You can then just take a one-minute stroll up the street to the lovely Jardin des Rosiers-Joseph Migneret and eat this thing of beauty while sitting on a park bench in this park tucked away off the beaten path. Make sure to pick up a fork when you get your sandwich - big and messy - in the tastiest way! read more
