I ordered a takeout, a portion of falafel on pitta 🥙 bread, and yes, it is the best in town. The hummus tasted freshly made, and the falafel was prepared to order. Pitta bread was super soft as well. I spoke to the staff, and she mentioned they are baked daily at a bakery, so that explains why they’re so soft. Very yummy 🤤

The owner snapped at his staff openly in front of customers which created an uncomfortable atmosphere whilst waiting for your food to be prepared. My partner and I bought our falafel and ate at an outside table as there was no space inside. Once we had finished there was no bin anywhere outside for our paper bags and napkins (after searching) so we left them on the table as the inside of the shop was busy with a queue. The owner was also blocking the entrance to where we could get to a bin, staring at us, waiting for us to leave. The business owner then preceded to start shouting at us openly in public for not clearing our table. He continued shouting at us, creating a large scene, pointing his finger, being openly confrontational and aggressive, which was then followed by him making racial slurs towards my partner. It was the worst experience I have ever had at any business in my entire life. The owner is extremely racist as you can read in other reviews. Would not visit again.

I came here and am very pleased to say that it was really good. I see many people in the reviews complaining that it takes a long time but that is because the falafels are prepared fresh and it’s given to you as soon as possible, the staff try their hardest to get it to you as soon as possible. it is very delicious and I highly recommend

The service at Falafel King is so painfully slow as everyone else mentions. If there are more than 2 people outside, I don't bother waiting and forget it if it's raining because you can't go inside anymore. If you multiply the number of people waiting outside by 10, that's usually the number of minutes you have to wait. 2 people waiting is snowed under here. If it wasn't for the best falafel in London, I would never bother. If it's your first time here, I would just wait because you really need to experience it. The falafels are fresh, the salad and sauces are great, just no urgency or charisma from the staff and it really seems like they cook one order at a time.

Felafels are nice and more the Israeli round type altho they were quite salty on last visit. Owner has taken advantage of prev covid restrictions and closed the dine-in area and only serves takeaway. Takes a long time to prepare and there's always a long wait due to inefficient preparation and operations. £9 is expensive for a takeaway felafel wrap!

The size portions of the falafels have really decreased from when you were on Portobello Rd and you keep increasing your prices…I know we are in hard times and today i was so shocked realise you increased your price AGAIN within 6 months. It’s good but it’s not that good anymore frankly. You won’t be getting custom from me, the traders around Golborne Rd and my clients! Taking the Micky Mate!

Good falafel salad box. But will say its not the tastiest falafels I've come across - but I won't post my tastiest here as that would be rude! * Hint: Could be more crunchy and have slightly more seasoning/ flavour). But still good and popular spot with a queue outside and lots of custom.

I saw J’s comments further down and have to agree - really good tasting felafel but at £8 for a modestly sized portion is very high I think. My partner and I decided to share one. We asked for it to be cut in half but although the young women staff reluctantly agreed to do it, the manager came out and started shouting about “that’s not how we serve it, it will make a mess on my tables!” Not a friendly attitude but then I suppose his concern was to get us to buy one each (or buy half portions for £5.50) which was never going to happen. The falafel is fresh and tasty though and the pitta breads are authentic Middle Eastern.

It’s not cheap for the portion size, but the falafels are indeed tasty. The falafels in pitta is great and the free flavoured water is lovely. The annoying thing about this place is how disorganised they are. I arrived today at 12:05pm only to be told they will open in 10 mins. Then 10 mins later they say around another 15 mins or so. If you’ve got somewhere to be on a busy weekday, this is not the place to guarantee a quick and reliable lunch. Today they ended up opening 50 mins after the scheduled Google opening time of 11:30am. They’ve even removed their opening times from the shop front window it seems, probably because they cannot rely on themselves to open on time. They could also do with a bit of decent customer service, which often feels like they are doing you a favour. This seems to be the case for management rather than staff, so probably not going to change anytime soon. …… decent food, but not somewhere I’ll be heading back to anytime soon. They’ve just become way too side ways for me and have become reliant on their long standing brand in the area, which has lead to some laziness and a little arrogance. There’s many better local places.

Had the salad box option. The falafels and hummus are decent, but they're shockingly stingy on the quantities. Each falafel is about half the size of what you'd get anywhere else and there were barely two teaspoons of hummus. I expect *much* more for a £8 takeaway, especially as we're talking about one of the most basic vegan dishes here. Having lived in this area for years, there are many better options around, and these are in no way the "best falafels" as claimed by some other reviewers with obviously low standards. Service needs to cheer up as well - a simple smile would be a good start.

I used to love this place when it was further down the road closer to Portobello market and I was gutted when I found out it was closed. It was only recently that I discovered they were still open but at a different location. Hands down this is the best falafel in London! They are soft, well cooked and not dry (which so many others are) and the homemade hummus is just delicious. This place does simple falafel very well. And the fresh juice you get is so tasty. I love it here

Cuando queremos comer Falafel que vamos allí. No es en absoluto un buen lugar para la familia y siempre hay una larga cola.

*UPDATE* Having moved to the area recently, I was disappointed to find Falafel King out of business. Very disappointing! Not sure if it's temporary or permanent nonetheless do not travel all the way - you will be disappointed. - Falafels are prepared fresh and fried right in front of you, their smell reminiscent of an authentic middle eastern kitchen. I opted for the pitta bread meal - it is filled with salad, hummus, tahini, coriander/chilli sauce and a sweet pepper sauce before the falafels go in. Very filling, satiating and authentic. Not bad for £7!

Si te encuentras en Portobello y no puedes decidir dónde saltar, entonces el falafel king es un ganador garantizado, no solo el mejor falafel en notting hill, sino también un festín visual para los ojos.Siempre consistente, el dueño está un poco gruñón pero está allí las 24 horas, ¿lo culpas? Su personal es más dulce que su limonada gratis: te encantará. ¡Confianza!

Probably the worst 'chickpea' to 'deep fried oil' ratio in London. There are better falafel sellers along Portobello. Falafel King's are the greasiest and worst of all are served in a thick Greek pitta bread instead of the thinner Arabic bread which I prefer. Falafel balls should be large and fluffy inside with only a thin layer of oil. If you go for smaller balls you consume a lot more oil which is unhealthy. Also they are not generous with the sesamy paste

Falafel King sells delicous parcels of chickpea goodness, and is a firm favourite of mine where Portobello is crossed by the Westway. Perhaps a tad expensive at £6.50 , although you do get a free house recipe lemonade , occasionally rather slow to serve when busy , but always worth it.
