Falafel House in Cardiff

I’m often in student union and the smell of this shop fills the whole corridor of the ground floor (smells amazing). Very fast service, very nice owner and delicious food! I had the 12 inch wrap and skinny fries and it was delicious! it was my first time having falafel and it was very nice! Also very nice interior. It feels very cosy. Inshallah definitely coming again! Thanks.

The food here is fantastic and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting the owner is very friendly and funny the place is extremely clean

Boss man is a legend, great food and great service.

Great guy running the place, making great fresh food. The best falafel in Cardiff

Absolutely love this place!!!!! Shared so many memories with my friends over the years here. The best food, best company and best service.

I am from the Middle East. I have lived on Falafel most of my life.. I can confidently tell you that you will not get a better falafel anywhere else in Cardiff. If you want to have Falafel in cardiff, you have to go to The Falafel House.. Order recommendation: They have the standard falafel wrap.. order that.. please add the fried Eggplants.. for the sauces, have Tahini and Amba.. (Hummus is already added in the offer anyways).. You can thank me later.. The falafel wrap comes with 3 falafels, if you can afford it, ask him to put an extra falafel in there.

The service was absolutely horrible. Will never go back. The man (as seen the picture)5 embarrassed me in front of everyone and made jokes about my bank account being empty (which was not the case.. my Google wallet app wasn't working). He embarrassed my friend by making fun of her for not reading the menu and asking how it works. The food was alright. Good job at trying to justify yourself and I hope you have 100% job satisfaction. I pity the owner

Amazing food and top service all fresh and halal, fast quick fresh top food

Service was amazing and the food was even better, will definitely be coming back!

The best falafel in Cardiff. Excellent customer service, the shop owner is also very friendly and always greet you with smile. Also, the atmosphere in the shop is so welcoming. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing food, amazing service! Would recommend and will be going back!!! 10/10

One of the best falafel spots I have been to, really sweet old man who serves authentic falafel wraps with tahini sauce . He doesn't go wrong with the food. Everything is halal.

I have eaten in many restaurants in Cardiff, but I suffered from the taste of the food there. Not every place is good and the prices are frankly exaggerated, but from my experience with the restaurant The Falafel House ❤️ Its location in Cardiff University is something different and frankly, the taste is something fantastic and the smell of the food is something that cannot be described before. You do not enter the shop and you smell the smell and the cleanliness is very, very, beyond what you imagine, and the food is fresh at the same time, delicious and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable, and the food they have is plentiful and large. I ate falafel with wrap with a fiery mixture ❤️, and the burgers are dangerous at his place, and don’t forget to try the chicken, he has a dangerous seasoning, and I tried his hash browns with Italian Americano after 👍😍 and he has other types, and the men are respectful and very friendly and his dealings with everyone are classy. Frankly, I advise you on it 😍😍

It is one of the strongest Arab restaurants at Cardiff University in serving falafel and halal burgers, especially the falafel wrap. The food is fresh, and the way the food is prepared and presented is clean. As for the service, it is excellent.

Amazing food and friendly staff! I go here regularly and always have the best experience :) <3

I’ve been enjoying the falafel at the Felafel House in the student union for the past six years, and it never disappoints! The falafel is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crispy. The variety of toppings and sauces allows for endless customization. The staff is friendly and efficient, which makes the atmosphere welcoming. this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

best food in cardiff SU! x fresh and flavourful falafel at a very reasonable price - the atmosphere is super cosy and the uncle making the falafel wraps is so sweet and cute! definitely grab a bite from here, so worth it! also, i've tried falafel many times before and have not liked it, the falafels from here however changed my opinion on them because they're just so well made - thank you!

Best falafel I have ever ate in Europe! Great staff, great atmosphere! If you dont visit, is your loss

Very tasty wrap, mint yogurt and nice bit of spice too. Not too expensive either considering the freshness of the ingredients.

Lovely food and excellent prices, the owner is very friendly, had an amazing time

The Falafel House in Cardiff is an absolute gem! The falafel is always fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and the variety of toppings and sauces really elevates the experience. Whether you’re a long-time falafel fan or trying it for the first time, this place won’t disappoint. Great value, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere – highly recommend!

Lovely food, lovely service - I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great and affordable lunch spot!

Amazing food and a lovely man that owns the place. The falafel wraps are incredible

The best in town , thank you 🫶

The falafel here is delicious, and the owner is very friendly

The food is ready quickly it’s also delicious and healthy.

Just had a wonderful toasted 12 inch chicken & halloumi wrap, it’s a shame the falafel house can’t be seen from the street front as i nearly missed it. However both food and chef were amazing.

The best falafel I’ve ever had! I hadn’t tried falafel before, and I’ve been converted since having it for the first time here. I’ve since tried different places to try to find somewhere as good but haven’t been able to. I’m going to be very sad when I’m no longer living just around the corner. In summary, if you’re looking for a super tasty and affordable lunch in Cardiff, come here!

The best falafels in town, if not the country! Everything is freshly made, the falafels are crunchy and soft on the inside, so full of flavor. Highly recommend the mango magic to go with it, refreshing and delicious every time.

Customer service is always great. Everything is freshly made. The best falafel I have ever had. I do come back regularly and I would recommend you to give it a try!

The best falafel I’ve ever had!!!!!

The falafel wrap taste amazing and crunchy!

Is there a better falafel in Cardiff? Accompanied by a fresh salad, these falafels are authentically delicious on the inside and crispy on the outside. And their mint yoghurt and hummus dips go especially well with these Middle Eastern beauties. I can't find anything much to fault here, except it would be nice if they changed over to cardboard packaging - or even better: plant fibre packaging, like Wahaca uses. Falafel House also boasts a top hygiene rating.

The best Flafel ever in Cardiff , Big thanks to the fabulous Iraqi man who made it really delicious and original as our Arabic home , lovely , I wish the best for you..

Really good food, really good service.

Love this place !! Been back many times as the wraps are always great and affordable x

Really good quality food made with fresh ingredients for a really great price!

Great place to grab a falafel wrap. Lots of options with a range of fillings and sauces. But other really nice things on the menu. Mostly people get takeaway but there's some seating if you want stick around for a little while. Speedy service. Range of drinks and coffee, of course! It's one of my regular lunch breaks. Highly recommend!!

The best falafel I’ve ever had in my entire life.

Really good food and nice staff ! Definely coming back

Very good food, especially for vegetarians. Had trouble deciding what sauce to get my first time there and was told 'you want tahini' by the guy who makes everything. He was right. I have had tahini ever since. This place is great.

Amazing, good quality, healthy food. Very nice service and always friendly

Fantastic place, wonderful food, has now become my go to place for lunch. Highly recommend it

Great little food spot tucked away in Cardiff! I've been many times over the years, super clean!...always spotless, the seating, the prep area...everything. The food is always fresh, fresh salad, fresh falafel (crispy outer, fluffy inner) fresh fries, he does everything to order. Good selection of drinks and sauces, staff are friendly, great cosy seating areas, a little gem in the SU and handy if you're by Sherman Theatre!

The falafel wrap is the best I’ve ever had. Food is 11/10 and the owner is an absolute legend.

They have good quality foods at such affordable prices and also is very fresh! The people here makes sure the food is prepared in a timely manner and make sure the place is clean to the highest standard! I will definitely come again!

The food is good, and there is plenty of variety, with vegetarian and vegan choices. On the other hand, the service provided and attitude of the owner is is improbable. I asked a simple but silly question, and I understand that this kind of question are not very appreciated while working; however, I was met with reproach, condescendence and an attitude implying that I was stupid.

Good quality food, great veggie and meat options to choose from: falafel with a choice of salad in/out of a wrap or bap, quarter pounder with fries, Mexican beef wrap, Lebanese chicken wrap and interestingly - a vegetarian breakfast wrap. Tried them all and can definitely recommend them!

One of my favourite places to eat in Cardiff! Everything is very reasonably priced and the quality of the food is fantastic. Falafels are always hot and well spiced with a really good flavour. Definitely the best falafels I have had in Cardiff. There is a good variety of fillings, the fries are reasonably good - they are cooked fresh but could occasionally do with a bit longer in the fryer. Service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. As soon as you are within 10 minutes of the place you are met with the most amazing smell. Will always keep recommending this place for their brilliant food!!

Came here for lunch had a wrap and honestly wasn't the best. It was dry and the falafel really wasn't that great. Seating is also a little bit of a joke as the seating against the wall can barely seat anyone. Not terrible but not the best

amazing falafel!!! lovely customer service, not sure what the other reviews are about, the food is amazing and it so clear that the sitting area is well up to standard. lovely people and lovely food.

Really nice food and service, falafel is very good as are the skinny fries and the chicken wraps are lovely too!

Definitely my favourite place for falafel wraps in Cardiff! The ingredients are always really fresh, with the falafel being super crispy on the outside while still retaining its interior fluffiness. The owner is also very nice, and the service is always great. Overall, this place is a real hidden gem! Would recommend - 5 stars from me!

Fantastic food, really delicious Cozy clean place for lunch 😍👍🏼

Went to grab a quick sandwich from Co-op, when myself and my friend were hit with a beautiful smell, we followed this to the Falafal House. I ordered a chicken wrap, but wanted to try the falafal also so the owner kindly let myself and my friend try his home made falafal, it was amazing!!! The best I've ever tasted the chicken wrap was also mouth watering. Can't wait to return and have a falafal wrap!! Customer service was excellent. Honestly if you have not tried the food from here you don't know what you are missing.

Tried this place for the first time and Would definitely recommend, the falafel wrap I got was so good !!

Delicious wraps!! Come here for a treat during uni. Always filling and warm. Service is quick and there is a lot of choice when customising

Have been going there for 4 years now. Lovely owner. Falafel made fresh with a unique recipe that stands out from anything I’ve tasted before. Will never eat it anywhere else as nothing else compares. If you think you know falafel, get ready to have your mind BLOWN.

Order the 12" falafel wrap, say yes to everything and top with tahini and spicy sauce. Amazing. Best falafel wrap in Cardiff

Great food but never open when I go there, despite advertised as open.

Very very rude owner. I asked if I can change pick up time and he said that its not his problem and hang up. Food not tasty.

Amazinf service and food always. Best in the business....

Really nice food, but the prices are a bit on the high side for what you get. Also, the service is slow and chaotic - the young guy with the beard and glasses who was manning the till last week didn't really seem to know what he was doing.

Fafelel wrap as good as I remember it to be - will be back again soon.

Me and my girlfriend went this morning for a bite to eat and a drink. We ended up getting the vegetarian breakfast wrap and the bluebananna smoothie, both were absolutely delicious and would recommend this adorable little cafe to anyone and everyone! Will definitely be back when I’m next in Cardiff!

Not very fast, but the man making and serving was so friendly.

This place is delicious vegan falafel heaven. And the man is the angel of delicious Mediterranean food. Love it! Thank you loved the mango dressing too. X

Super tasty falafel burgers with really flavoursome garnish, sauces and chip. Our food was perfect. Couldn’t recommend these guys more!! Fantastic food and super service.

This the local business you should support during these times. The falafel is delicious, everything is vegetarian and you can tell how much effort the owner puts in the dishes. He's always open and the smell from the delicious falafel will hit you from the street.

Absolutely amazing fresh and tasty food! Everything is cooked to order so it's the freshest it can be, and at a bargain price for the quality! The guy who owns the shop is so friendly too, and has made sure me and my NHS colleagues are well fed during our long shifts!

This place is amazing! The menu variety is awesome, and the food is worth the price. Was my first time trying falafel other than a buffet half a decade ago and it's quickly became the one place I go to to get lunch in the university.

The sweetest taste of these falafel

💛 my first time eating falafel in Cardiff and straight away become my number 1 place whenever I craved falafel ~ the foods here is just so authentic and amazing ;) I always order loaded skinny fries and falafel salad box whenever I came here❣️ it’s a good place to chill and the interior designs are very creative and lovely 💓 the crepes here are also very delicious/ the texture and the dessert toppings 🤤 the prices are reasonable and it’s worth it every bite 🥰the staffs are so kind and very passionate of what they do and that’s what makes this place feel so special :) this is a place where i will never get tired of going to ~ much love

By far the most delicious and freshest wraps iv tried. Tastes so so good with the sauces and the added authentic flavour of those falafels is amazing. A winner all round!

I am a falafel fanatic and this is the best I’ve tried in Cardiff hands down. Will definitely be back and recommend all to try.

I'm not sure how popular this place is outside of Cardiff's student population, but it deserves more recognition for its fantastic food and service. I had an absolutely amazing falafel wrap with chilli and garlic mayo and it was among the best meals that I've had in Cardiff. £3.95 is great value. On top of that the service was fantastic. Furthermore, even if you're not a huge falafel fan there are other options available such as crepes. If you find yourself nearby, this is a must for lunch.

I've been here many times now and the falafel tastes incredible either in a wrap or a pitta with some feta or guacamole. The menu also boasts an impressive falafel burger which is an absolute delight and well worth the additional wait! Very well priced and would recommend to anyone.

We were looking for somewhere ‘different’ for a lunch and fell on this place. Brilliant food with a delicious Lebanese wrap - spicy hummus too! Well worth trying out.

The best falafel I have ever eaten. I mean it literally.

Amazing little gem situated in the student union in Cardiff city centre. The prices are reasonable and food is phenomenal, packed full of flavour. Great lunchtime treat where you can have a choice of falafel balls  with salad box, pitta or wraps or even choose a falafel burger! All the food is freshly prepared, your choice of salad, humous and sauces and are vegetarian and vegan friendly. It is run by a local Cardiff family and are truly independent. I had the falafel wrap which was freshly cooked to order with the raita yoghurt dressing, salad and chilli sauce. The wrap was then grilled which gave a lovely crispness to the wrap which complemented the falafel's soft middle. I also had the latte which was lovely and was treated to their lentil soup. Only available in the colder months but warms you up from the inside; it is a must try!

If you are looking for an unparalleled experience, for pure unadulterated falafel bliss, this is the place to go! I mean, the tables are a bit sticky, literally stuck the lint off my coat, but damn the falafels are good. best 4.50 i ever spent on falafels.
