Basta - Falafel & Grill in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It is in the market so ambient is busy often . We were lucky to get there when it was empty. Amazing falafel! And all the bits that comes with it. The staff pretty friendly too. Not something common in the market.

Very tasty food and lovely personnel

Great food sabich falafel and shawarma

After walking around London all morning I made my way to Camden market with a huge appetite. I wandered around the market for a good 30 minutes exploring the food options available but something about Basta called out to me (aside from the owner actually calling out to me offering a sample of the food lol). Basta had a very short line compared to its neighboring shops which made it even more appealing to me cause I was very hungry and definitely craving middle eastern food the longer I stared at them. Got a sample from who I assume is the owner and that was that, I was hooked. I ordered the chicken schnitzel bowl with rice and... wow. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce was addictive and the chicken tasted great. As I was sitting there I got mad at the people who weren't lining up for this amazing food. Which you get a lot of for a very low price. Even after I finished my bowl and felt very full I wanted to order and eat more. Staff were very friendly and fun to watch. I would fly back to London in a heartbeat just to eat here again.

Lovely food, nice people, really good!

People are a bit crazy with these opinions. And that's how you can be fooled. The food is definitely not fresh. The funny thing is that they put 90 percent salad, a little meat and chips. And for food from a fast food stand - expensive. We got food poisoning. I strongly advise against it! Eating at Basta and in general the whole Camden Market.

Awesome food and service! The owner of Basta was great, super friendly, generous and funny. Would definitely recommend coming here if you are in Camden!

Normally such a high rating would make me think it’s not true. But it is! Amazing pitas filled to the brim. Could easily feed 2 people.

Good food! Jasar was very warm and polite .

Lovely food. Great service by Jasar and whole team Must visit

Great people they’re funny . The food is even better

Often overlooked, but they do some of the best food in the market, highly recommend!

Very good tests of food, crisp (french fries) are really well cooked with little spice on it. A délice, I would really recommend to try the falafel on pitta. The staff are really friendly

Shay, the owner of the stand, is a cannon and kind. The food is delicious and clean! thanks.

Absolutely the best shawarma I've ever had, great guys serving also, thanks for the food.

Great place to eat Israeli street food

The best service in London, thank you Shay for service 👌❤️

Owner is very kind and food delicious. I highly recommend!!!

Quick, energetic service, free samples, great food. Had the Sabich but also tried the Shawarma and Falafel. It was all amazing.

Delicious with such a great vibe. The owner is so nice and the food is amazing and quick. Super recommend the sabich and the mango juice.

Very nice place, the food is good and the staff bring a good atmosphere! I recommend

I love it thank you very much 😄

very friendly and nice gentleman, friendly atmosphere

Delicious and the bread is soft But the amount of falafel is small in one bread, about four, and you put whatever toppings you want on it.

Loved the food! And the staff is super friendly!

Very good food! Jasar is very nice person

Jasar is a great seller, very good food :)) Wonderful falafel, very tasty chicken, it's really worth stopping here! Ps. As you walk by, they give you different portions to try, so it's worth seeing :)

They have very good shawarma pita and it was really delicious and service by jasar was fantastic.He made the food which way I want.

Unbelievable!!! Jasar was quality. See u soon bous

So very fresh, tasty and interesting flavours and dressing, Took the sabich and falafel dish, Amazing!

Customer service - The guy behind the counter was enthusiastic but the woman who made my pita seemed a little bit unbothered and mildly annoyed she make my food. Product - very very tasty falafel pita, tahini ratio to salad was very good and the falafels themselves were decent. Packaging - the pita came in a a little tin foil bag which I felt wasn’t suitable for the amount of mess that was involved in eating the pita. I would definitely return, this a wonderful establishment and I enjoyed my visit here x

Fantastic and fresh and healthy foods and salads.Thank you so much.

Super good, I liked their Falafel sandwiches a lot; their Shawarma also was very good. Very much recommended for Falafel and Shawarma lovers.

amazing food, amazing people:) Jasar and Ifan and the handsome Kamal are fabulous

When I was pregnant with my first daughter I tried your falafel, I never got it out of my mind. Now in my second pregnancy the only thing I think about is that thanks to you I tried the best falafel in the world. I hope I can come back soon!

Great! Jasar is friendly and so kind 🙌🏻🙏

Nadar is kind and helpful! Cheers !

Lovely service, delicious smells

The food was fantastic, we tried several things and everything was very good and fresh

The food was amazing 😻 The hospitality was amazing especially brother irfan treated us with so much care Try their falafel and chicken shawarma They’re too good. You won’t regret ❤️

The best Falafel in London, at Candem market. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. We came back from central London specifically to eat here. The most characteristic and multi-ethnic street food is here. We took 2 Pita Falafel with completely vegetarian and medium spicy vegetables, french fries with all kinds of sauces. Highly recommended

Very warm welcome, the meat and falafels are incredible!

Delicious food and amazing people! Thank you Jasar and Awaz for combining your cultural food to amazing food experiences for us! We love it! 😊

It was very nice food and the service was excellent as they gave us amazing pita for free

Nice service from irfan and jafar,really enjoyed the food,satisfied

Tasty food and very friendly staff, couldn't ask for anything to be improved!! 🙂

While visiting this neighborhood we were attracted by the small tastings offered. Then the dishes presented. Our taste buds said yes straight away. Very friendly English speaking manager. French. Possibly vegetarian dishes. It's a change from big plates of fried stuff. Neighborhood to see while stopping by Basta.

First time at Basta and I'm blown away. The staff are super charismatic and full of energy. They have a reason to be this enthusiastic, their food is amazing. I had the chicken shawarma, fantastic flavour! The fresh pitta they make is so fluffy and holds all the fresh ingredients elegantly for you to devour. I'll definitely be coming back here for lunch whenever I'm in the area 🙌🤙

Great falafel. Friendly staff. Would recommend x

Amazing food , loved the ambience 😍❤️

World class, as good as L'as du Falafel in Paris. Admittedly we haven't had falafel in the middle east, but have across US central America and Europe, this is world class. Skip the chips in the next stall and get amazing food here. Had the falafel with all the toppings, spicy. On top added some sport peppers and pickled beets. From the bread to the falafel to all the toppings all were tasty and made with high quality!

Food is average . I can give it a 3.5 rating .

Absolutely amazing service always has fresh vegetables and meat. The workers are friendly and the portions are big. 100% recommend

Camden's best-kept secret, Basta - Falafel & Grill, offers the most delicious falafel you'll ever taste – crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced, and incredibly flavorful on the inside. Each bite is a testament to the quality and freshness of their ingredients. The hummus is creamy, the salads are vibrant, and the sauces, especially the tahini, are the perfect companions to their star falafel. But it’s not just the amazing food that will keep you coming back. Shy with his warm smile and exceptional service, makes every visit special. From recommending the best dishes to ensuring every customer feels at home, Shy is the heart and soul of this delightful eatery. Whether you're after a quick bite or a testy meal, Basta - Falafel & Grill is the place to be.

We got the falafel, shawarma and beef kebab and it was AMAZING! Found this place by chance in a hurry and it was insanely good. Thanks to Jasar for incredible service and making a fast dinner memorable!
