These falafels are legit! Do you have to wait in a ridiculous line? Sure... It would be a bit more frustrating if it weren't worth the wait but it is. There are two shops located literally a stones throw from each other. The line at the larger location tends to be longer but they also have like 4x the number of workers so it may be deceiving if you choose to wait in the shorter line. Seating also tends to be scarce near this place. There is a park very near the restaurant so if you don't mind walking 5 minutes you can usually find a nice seat (may be on the ground) there. It's very quiet and clean. read more

What can I say about the most successful place in Le Marais? Go and try it for yourself, don't read these reviews. It's always full so you'll have to wait or stand in the queue and then eat in the street. Try the fries with their spicy sauce, the shawarma and the fallafel. A must when in Paris. read more

Uh... can we just say amazing and delicious? Yes the rumors are true for once and this is probably one of the best falafel places I have been to if not the best. I was looking to have a quick bite before heading off to Stade de France to see the Italy vs Spain game. This place had kept popping up on all the searches so I knew I had to make my way over to this joint. It was a rainy afternoon but even then I knew this place had to be good when I arrived and saw a line out front. The line moves quickly and there is someone that will come to you with a notepad to ask if you have decided on your order. No they are not scamming you but they are the real person haha. Just wanted to say because I was confused for a second and could not figure out if they were legit. These guys are speedy and it was impressive to get to the window and see them move around making the deliciousness. Decided to go with one of the falafels and a schwarma to try it all out. They stuff these pitas with absolute goodness and they are pretty large. The falafel was seasoned perfectly with all of the veggie goodness and sauce heaven. Make sure to get the spicy sauce because it is the nice kick that you need especially in a city where spicy is not a common theme on menus. The schwarma was also amazing. The seasoning was just perfect and it was packed with flavor. Same deal and ask for the spicy but with either choices you will not go wrong. Its amazing how large these treats are but how quickly they disappear. I found myself using my fork to dig every bit of goodness out of the pita before devouring the pita itself. This thing was worth every dollar spent which is not much so go wild and load up with more. I think I would have grabbed more of this goodness during my visit if we just had more time. Definitely a spot to hit up without a doubt as they hype is not made up. You will not regret grabbing a bite here and what is better than walking around the quaint streets of paris while enjoying delicious walking food. read more

I lived for years above this place and was infested with mices and roaches because of them and they couldn't care less. They're so rude. Do not trust the hype. There are other falafel places around that are just as good. read more

I was shopping in All Saint, and felt hungry after. I walked outside of the store, and saw that this place has a long line. I walked over and asked one of the server what kind of food do they serve. The guy was very friendly, and he told me that I was in a Jewish area, and they are serving Jewish food. I have never had Jewish food, so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered a special fallafel (houmous, Turkish salad). They stuffed some veggies (cabbage etc.) and fallafel balls inside a pita bread. It tasted AMAZING! It was moist and juicy. I lost count of how many fallafel bakks were inside that little pita bread. This order (Correct me if I am wrong, it gave me a feeling that it's a form of Jewish street food) filled me up for the entire night! The meal was 8 Euro~ Where can I find a restaurant to dine in that will cost me less than 10 Euro in Paris?! I will come back for sure. This place is solid! read more

I am sorry to wrote this, but this restaurant is way Overrated!. Toppings were very good, but the falafel was cold and mediocre. I've eaten much better falafel in Chicago. Disappointment. read more

Hype is real. It's as good as others claim. The management tends to the waiting line very efficiently and diligently. It's really not that long of a wait for to-go (15 mins total). The food taste and quality are all top quality. The veggies had deep vibrant colors. Would highly recommend adding a little bit of spice. Awesome spot to eat at as a break to your shopping. read more

Best falafel of my life. The cabbage filling not only tastes delicious but adds beautiful color and texture to the dish. It is a long line but if moves quickly. The fries were a big disappointment though. read more

After a looooong day of sight seeing, my husband and I were desperate for some good food and to rest our feet. Although extremely busy, the waiters were on top of everything and ran the whole restaurant smoothly. The food was good, but everything lacked a little salt and maybe more lemon or yogurt. Something to brighten everything up. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading Yelp reviews and the article in the New York Times, but I've honestly had way better. read more

Yummy...amazingly yummy and such wonderful staff who are quick to serve your foid with a smile.

The wait time when I went was not nearly as bad as how people usually make it out to be. The options are great for vegetarians and vegans, seeing as you can have tahini instead of yogurt on top. The roasted eggplant that you can add is also perfectly Smokey and tender. There's a neighboring stall that you may be tempted to order at when you see the line, but don't. This place is famous for a reason read more

This place is a well-oiled machine. They get you in and fed very quickly. I had the falafel sandwich (wrapped in pita) and it was definitely delicious. I think I've had similar quality falafel in the Bay Area but I'd say it was definitely up there. The eggplant inside the pita was soooooo good. I was impressed with how fresh everything was. The fries were the perfect thickness and crunchiness. I would totally come back here for more falafel and to try other items on the menu. For 2 people we waited around 7 minutes to be seated at 1:30 PM on a Tuesday. read more

Yep, this is seriously the best falafel ever. Of all the incredible food in Paris, we were only there for 3 nights and ate here twice, it's that good. In a neat neighborhood, but of course crowded with tourists and the set up for the restaurant can be confusing. There are 2 lines, the line on the right is to dine in and the line on the left is for take out. The first night we decided to take it to go. There is a waiter kinda in the street who takes your order and payment and then you take your receipt to the pick up window. Super easy and quick. The second night we ate inside and again the servers were very friendly and fast. So obviously you have to get the falafel special (falafel in pita with all the fixings). It's flavorful, messy, more than enough for 1 person and prob one of the best things you'll eat in Paris. When we dined in we also tired the falafel platter, schawarma sandwich and merguez sausage sandwich. With the platter, they serve a Turkish salad on the side--omg we have never tasted a more amazing salad. Everything here is incredible and you definitely need to stop by at least once! read more

It lived the expectations as the place to go to for falafel in Paris. Service is good for such a busy place.

I consider myself some what of a falafel connoisseur. This place has one of the two best falafels that I had outside of Israel. The falafel was perfectly spiced and moist on the inside, and it was perfectly round and crispy on the outside. It were as fresh as can be. The service was supper fast and friendly. We also got a plate of shawarma which was also very well prepared. The food wasn't heavy at all. Basically we visited little Tel Aviv in the middle of Paris. I know when you are in Paris you may want to indulge in French food, but you have to stop in for lunch to taste perhaps the best falafel that you will ever have a chance to have. Try for your self, and I'm telling you that you won't regret it. You can always finish your meal with a french dessert down the block just as we did. read more

Hey, if Lenny Kravitz is a fan, it's gotta be good, right? I was told by my lovely partner in crime that L'As du Fallafel was one of the best falafels in the developed world. While I'd normally steer towards gyro meat at a halal style eatery, these fried balls of chickpeas were the only thing on either of our minds. Suffice to say, the almost 1,000 reviews aren't wrong. This is a damn good falafel sandwich. You may encounter a long line, but much like our own famous halal restaurant (Halal Guys), these folks are pros at getting you in and out very fast. While there was a huge gathering of customers snacking, from payment to eating took maybe four minutes. The sandwich itself is probably best eaten with a fork, otherwise, you better have a Tide pen nearby. The pocket sandwich comes with lots of pickled vegetables, several tasty balls of falafel, and the most addictive white and red sauce piled high on top. The beauty is in the simplicity - it's a straight forward masterpiece of street side fast food. read more

L'As du Fallafel - Spicy chicken, lamb and fallafel sandwich - Kosher Near Me - Paris, 75

oh man, seriously the BEST fallafel I have ever had. So the rumors are true! The size is huge and will definitely fill you up. Can't beat the price. The only reason I've given a 4 star rating is there is no where to sit if you purchase the fallafel outside. If you want to go inside the restaurant where there are tables, they basically charge more for the same fallafel - a premium for sitting down. The fallafel is so big and there is so much sauce that its really not that mobile - its not like you can eat and walk around with it. So you just get a bunch of people standing around the restaurant trying to juggle their bags, fallafels and drinks. At least put some high-tables outside so people can put their drinks down and enjoy the experience. Nevertheless, this is a must-try in Paris! read more

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

Long before I boarded my flight to Paris, I decided that my vacation dollars would be best spent on intra-European travel. Boutique vintage shopping. Central accommodations. Real champagne. But NOT on extravagant meals. I thought I might have to suffer through some mediocre street food in order to purchase a few coveted fashion finds, but I've never been further from the truth. You got me, L'As du Fallafel. Not once, not twice, but on THREE delicious occasions. Don't think you've erred - not for a second! - just because the line looks to be forever and a day long. Au contraire, mon ami: this queue moves swiftly, as the order-taking process has been fine-tuned to an efficient science (a staffer will approach you while you're waiting to take your order and money). Once you've reached the window, you'll have the option of adding toppings such as grilled eggplant, crunchy veggies, white sauce and a spicier red one. Just go ahead and ask for it all.. you will want it. If only everyone did this - just think, the line would move much faster! Even more difficult than patiently waiting for the famed fallafel balls is sourcing a spot to eat your sandwich. In the interest of time (pita bread gets soggy fast) and to keep the relentless traffic on this narrow street moving, realize you won't be able to eat sitting down. So find some space along a building wall, stuff your pockets with easy-access napkins, lean comfortably back, tear into your fallafel sandwich and pretend that no one is watching (read: things are about to get messy). Or, do as I did and aggressively elbow your way through the streets of the Marais to make it back to your apartment in 5 minutes flat... because, that's about all the time you have in the small window of optimal fallafel flavor. Do enjoy every last morsel! This may very well be the best fallafel you'll consume in your lifetime... not to be depressing, but it's the truth. read more

My brother in law comes here every time he's in Paris so it was a must while I was here. I consider myself kind of a falafel connoisseur so I was excited. Both he and I were so hungry when we sat down that we both got shawarma and falafel sandwiches. After the waiter rolled his eyes at us, he brought out both in less than 10 minutes. I went for the falafel first. Wow..this thing was monstrous!!!! 6 falafel balls crammed into this huge pita w/ tons and tons and tons and tons of veggie goodness in it. Beats the heck out of most places in the US where you just get lettuce, tomato and some "other stuff". The shawarma was equally as good but alas...couldn't finish the pita part since I was so stuffed from the falafel so I just went for finishing the meat. Excellent meal. Both would taste even better at 4am after massive quantities of alcohol which I will do next time I'm in town. read more

The line is long for a reason, my friends. Don't let it deter you from partaking in this piece of heaven in Le Marais. This will be one of the best meals in Paris you will ever have. Period. We did fancy, we did expensive, we did street,we did cheap, and this is one of the only places that continued to stand out. The chicken, beef, and fallafel were beyond fantastic and the fries further complimented everything. Don't be a lame ass and just order a soda. Get yourself a beer, or four. It only makes the waiting in that long line so much more rewarding. read more

Very good falafel! Our friends who were in Paris a week before us suggested this place. It's in the Jewish Quarter and very close to the Marais. We had to do some shopping in the Marais and since this place was really close, we decided to stop by around 6 pm. You can eat in or stand in line outside for to go orders. We stood in line and since it was 6 pm, the line was short. We ordered and paid as we were standing in line and the guy gave us a ticket for our food. When you get to the window, you give your ticket to one of the guys at the window, and he will assemble your order for you. I had the falafel and my husband had the shawarma. My falafel sandwich was very good. It had several falafels in it and a good amount of shredded cucumber, eggplants and sauce in it. I tasted my husband's shawarma and it was quite good too. He wants to go back there tomorrow. And the price was great too! 14,50€ for both. Note that this place is closed from Friday at 4 pm until 6:30 pm on Saturday for the Sabbath. Avoid the long line by coming later in the afternoon! read more

The best Fallafel I've EVER eaten, hands down. I would even consider paying a ridiculous amount of money to overnight these little balls of deliciousness to New York. Even after the horrendous conversion rate from dollars to euros it's still pretty cheap to the traveler on a budget. It's also situated in an awesome neighborhood. Familiarize yourself with Paris: observe quirky art on the side of buildings, get macarons and eat Fallafel. Sit inside, you'll be with a hilarious variety of tourists. We were graced by the presence of two tipsy New Zelanders next to us who kept obnoxiously barking orders in English to the waiter. At which point I was duly convinced that Americans were not the most facetious tourists in France at all. Thank you, L'As du Fallafel. read more

Simply writing a review to say, YES, L'As du Fallafel lives up to the hype! I got a falafel pita while hubs got the shawarma and both were delicious. They were extremely generous with both the falafel (which is fried to perfection) and sauces. There was quite a long line, but we opted to get ours to-go so we had our pitas in hand and were on our way within minutes.

Listen to everyone: Get the falafel. Don't get the shwarma. The shwarma is perfectly fine but the falafel is what is stellar -- absolutely fantastic. If you are with two people and one gets the falafel and the other gets the shwarma, the one with the falafel will feel obliged to give up half of it to the shwarma. Avoid marital discord by getting two falafels. The only downsides to this place: people smoking in line. read more

This might have been the best Falafel I had... ever. EVERRR! It was funny, while waiting in line my husband and I were speaking English when the customers right in front of us started speaking English to us -- turns out they were from Seattle yet lived in France the last 14 years. Well, they vowed this was the best falafel of the 3 shops within just a few feet of each other. So let me try to describe the Falafel Special: A pita filled with falafel, lettuce, tomato, red cabbage, tahini then another layer of falafel and topped off with a nicely marinated grilled eggplant. I read in another review someone mentioned still dreaming about that eggplant. How great can eggplant be, anyway? Apparently pretty damn great because he's right, I think I'm going to be dreaming about it too. HOLY MERDE! First off, if you can manage to eat the entire thing I gotta hand it to you -- these falafel wraps are ginormous! The line is quite long but well worth the wait. If you're in Paris, this is worth seeking out and trying. Besides the Le Marais neighborhood is fantastic and should not be missed :) read more

Best. falafel. ever. No joke. We almost didn't get a chance to try this place (a week is not long enough to do, see and eat all I wanted in Paris) but we made it happen. Who cares that we had just eaten?? It was meant to be. They had just opened, no crowds, a place to sit.....we split a falafel sandwich and I'm glad we did. The pita was soft and delicious, the falafel were smaller than I'm used to put they give you a TON and they explode with flavor. The smokey flavor of the roasted eggplant was a great touch and all of the ingredients together makes this a lunch you shouldn't miss if you're in the area. If there is a line when you get there (and there probably will be) don't worry about it....it's worth the wait. read more

Beast of a falafel! The vegetarian falafel sandwich $6 was loaded with a nice variety of veggies and at least 5-6 falafel balls. The sauce is delicious and the hot sauce isn't too spicy so make sure you pile it on. We waited about 20 minutes in the to go line on a Sunday around lunch time. Definitely worth the wait. They accept credit cards inside the restaurant after you've ordered on line. We also got a side order of fries for $3 which came out piping hot. The fries were a sizable order but they were dry (no salt or sauces provided but we should have asked). I would highly recommend this place while in Paris! read more

This falafel was sooooo good -layers of cabbage, cucumbers, soft eggplant with olive oil, tahini, a unique and tasty hot sauce, tomatoes, yogurt sauce, herbs and spices OH and falafel. It really can't be missed. If you are on a budget - you will get stuffed for most of the day and won't have to break the bank. Definitely one of the most memorable items that have entered my mouth during this trip. Top 3. I will definitely reminisce on this... read more

Best falafel in the world? Your world must be smaller than mine! (Ouch!) Very overhyped establishment in Paris. Although the falafel isn't expensive by French standards (5 Euro), I couldn't even finish mine. Maybe it's because we didn't get it with the spicy sauce? (But that can't be it!) However, the Jewish quarter in the Marias district makes for an interesting promenade apres diner. Spend your precious time in Paris eating much better French food, s'il vous plait. read more

Stopped by this place twice during our week stay in Paris, yes folks it was that good! Dinned in the first time. Ordered the falafel appetizer, lamb shawarma, and chicken shawarma, everything was delicious. The pita was nice and warm and had great texture without being too stiff or soggy. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the meat to veggie ratio was perfect. The eggplant in the shawarma was my favorite, fried crispy outside with a soft goo-ey center, I could eat a plate of just the eggplant! Ordered take out the second time. The original falafel shawarma was delicious, just order and eat outside like the group of people you see around! Don't let the lines scare you off, they are efficient and the line moves quickly! read more

OMG. That is all I have to say about this place. Amazing food, cheap prices, and as long as you can avoid the lines it is more then a one timer to me. Note to first timers: This area is very Jewish and they don't allow you to bring anything into the restaurant (food/drink wise) with the fear of it not being kosher. Second: lines are the worst on Sundays/fridays lunchtime Third: THEY ARE CLOSED SATURDAY!!! MY tip: Get the fallafel sandwhich, pick what you want in it, (this sandwich is vegan and kosher for you limit eaters out there) go to the window outside if you want to eat while walking the streets of Paris, or dine in to pay more for the same food, (your choice) with cramped tables and staff that doesn't speak much english. Overall though I loved this place, their food and their prices. It lived up to the hype and I will be back the next time I am in Paris. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said? When you approach and see the massive line, get in the line on the left for takeaway--it's faster. If you pay via credit card, bring a friend so they can hold your place in line while you go pay inside. Get everything on your falafel. Let your friend get the schawarma, if they insist, but do yourself a favor and get those delicious fried nuggets. Upon receiving your falafel, walk protectively through the crowded streets, being sure to not let anyone bump you and drop it or for a bird to fly overhead and let loose its droppings on it...either case would be a travesty. Enjoy! This was a must try place for me on my trip to Paris and it was definitely the best falafel I've ever had. It was overflowing with falafel, eggplant, cucumber, cabbage, tomato, spicy sauce and tahini? Whatever the line length is, it's worth it, so don't hesitate. read more
