Falafel Land in Leicester

I had the best chicken shawarma in town at Falafel and Shawarma Land! Every bite was packed with flavor, and the other dishes I tried were equally delicious. The fact that they offer a small prayer area on the first floor is a thoughtful touch for Muslim customers. Great food and a welcoming atmosphere – highly recommend!

Excellent baklava - as a slice of a large pie. Not the usual sweet baklava, although this was delicately sweet. Delicious, warmed, a good filling of some kind of mild curd filling. Coffee was perfect too. Beautiful flavours in this baklava - not just sweet, but honey, pistachio, curd, rosewater maybe, sweet spices maybe, I really liked it, including the very fine and barely there flaky pastry. They have the more usual very sweet baklava there too - but I'm glad I chose this slice of pie. Excellent value.

Today we went to this place as a family for lunch, it was our first time and will be the last time as well. The service we received was extremely terrible I nearly I had a physical fight with the person at the front who made us nasty Falafels and it was not just about the food he was very disrespectful and uneducated man rude. I asked him nicely we want our Falafels without any sauce in it instead we’ll have the sauce separately please . He said ”NO PROBLEM” in a loud voice he just was so rude and he’s got attitude problem at that point I realized that this guy must have brought to work by force. Subsequently he made the falafels and I asked him could I have the sauce please? He replied this “if you want sauce £1 per tub of sauce” I said to him I asked you at the start we want our Falafels without sauce we want it separately and you agreed to it. Sadly he denied that he ever said that! Lol, Anyhow he ruined our day and I really hope his Boss read this comment and teach him some manners. In case the owner of the business doesn’t know which staff I am taking about( the person with blue eyes at the front section) you should kick him out of the business it’s good for your own benefit he doesn’t care if you lose customers or not. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Passed by this place hundreds of times. Had it for the first time today and couldn't believe what I was missing. The chicken salad box is highly recommended, more than half of it is charred chicken, a variety of vegetables, and a fresh spicy dressing. It's only £6 and supports credit cards. Didn't get to eat it until just before I left the place, sadly.

Fantastic food & atmosphere, attentive staff & large venue. Highly recommended & will be my go-to whenever I'm in Leicester in future!

By far one of the best falafels wraps in Leicester! I usually have mine with humour, halloumi and extra chilli. It’s soo good 🔥🔥

Very rude and poor customer service from the old guy who make shawarma. I asked for an extra tissue paper after the first one was fully spoiled with the leaked shawarma gravy. The old guy shouted at me and told me he could give only one tissue for one shawarma. Then when I insisted that old guy, he told me to wipe on my own shirt or take a bath. What kind of mannerless person would talk to there customer like that. He is showing his culture and character through this incident. He is a disgrace to others who working there. Never ever going to come back to that place again!!! Horrible person!!! Worst experience I have ever encountered in LEICESTER.

Recently visited Falafel Land in Leicester City Center and tried their chicken shawarma, grilled chicken, and marakesh with zaatar. Overall, it was a delightful experience. The chicken shawarma was flavorful, though it could have been juicier. The grilled chicken had a nice smoky flavor but similarly could benefit from being a bit more tender. The marakesh with zaatar was a standout, with the zaatar adding a pleasant, aromatic touch. I was particularly impressed with the toum; it was perfectly balanced and complemented the dishes well. The fresh kubuz provided was another highlight, soft and warm, enhancing the overall meal. For a total cost of about £16, the meal was reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes. I would give Falafel Land 4 stars and look forward to visiting again to try more of their offerings.

Food is absolutely fantastic and the staff there were extremely helpful, kind and generous. Will continue going to falafel land

A beautiful restaurant, the menu is varied, the taste is delicious, the atmosphere of the restaurant is distinctive, and the service is excellent. Thank you

The shawarma was good but the falafel was even better. They had home made bread which tasted really good. I also had the morrocan mint tea which was served in a fancy pot. A decent shawarma place, and they make in the authentic bread.

Best chicken shawarma in town Worth spending here

Absolutely delicious, can't wait to explore the menu الحمدلله

Their Falafel wrap is the best, I literally always. buy their wrap, it's one of the, if not the best falafel wraps I have had!

The workers are rude , taking orders was choatic and I did not get the right order. The sandwich was very dry. Never again!

Tried the shawarma and moroccan tea. It was delicious, the moroccan mint tea was really refreshing, I would say a must try. The service was pretty quick and staff were great. Prices are pretty reasonable. Not too busy.

Look - I am a falafel wrap fiend. Every time I see a falafel stand I have to try it, but Falafel Land in Leicester is hands down the best one I've ever been to. Doesn't compare to any falafel I've tried in London, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, or Bradford. Every time I'm in Leicester I make a point to visit and grab a wrap. Ridiculously good value for money as well. Falafel Land, I hope you never ever go out of business. You are the greatest

It is the worst place you can go and taste sweets there. It has the name Baba Kunafa and does not serve kunafa. I bought harissa. The price was very low and the taste was like anything except harissa. I took the two types available and the right one did not resemble harissa. It was very old and as if it had been prepared weeks ago and it had hardened and was no longer the same. He should I do not advise anyone to try it compared to shops selling Arabic sweets. The price was five pounds more than the rest of the shops and the taste was not up to 5% of other places.

as a foodie I love their food and atmosphere they make you travel back to middle east with a bite

Place came highly recommended. So dropped in for a Falafel wrap and extra hot chai latte. Did not disappoint. Both were excellent. Wraps made fresh in front of you. Some others were having Manakeesh. Looked really good. Must try next time. Kunafa looked good. Unfortunately only have one stomach so will have to wait.

Great food. Plenty options. Good service. Very reasonable - treated 6 for under fifty quid. Definitely going again soon

I love shawarma and this was my first trial here in Leicester with shawarma and it turned out to be a good experience. I tried both chicken and lamb shawarma. Both are delicious in their own way. I would certainly go back sometime soon.

Falafel was delicious and kunafa too

The food is great, atmosphere is good. However, customer service needs improving from one particular staff member who I think needs more training.

Some of the best Levantine food I’ve found in the UK. Have eaten here twice and quality of food and service amazing both times. Extremely good value, too.

Visited the area and we were looking for something to eat. As we usually try to avoid big chains this was one of the few options available but we love lebanese, Persian and Moroccan food so we didn't mind. Deco is simple but nice. Food was amazing 4 starters and 3 mains shared between us were excellent (not the samosa like dish. The filling was very bland) The chicken was one of the best and most tender chicken we ever ate. The Only downside was the service. Very slow and not attentive. Bare in mind there was only 2 tables in, yet we had to catch the staff attention several times. It could have been a 5 star 🌟.

Really rubbish service from the restaurant, staff very negligent. No one came to bring us a menu or to collect our orders. When we collected our own menus we were told someone would come to take our orders but no one came even after 10/15 minutes, had to go to counter ourselves. Saw staff collecting orders from other tables though so we were ignored for some reason. We asked for some water and were told it would be brought to the table, no water came. Eventually realised water was self serve at the counter however if this is the case why not just tell us it is self serve rather than agreeing to bring us water knowing you won’t? Food took a very long time and was not all brought out together. Guest I was with had almost finished eating before my meal came out 20 minutes later. No staff came to check on us during the meal despite checking on the tables around us. Very bad experience would not return. Food was not worth being made to feel so unwelcome.

No staff came to check on us during the meal despite checking on the tables around us. Very bad experience would not return. Food was not worth being made to feel so unwelcome.

The food was so delicious and the people were kind and quick service

My favourite place to enjoy a good meal in Leicester City Centre. The bread is served hot seems freshly made. Recommendations: - Moutabbal - Manakesh cheese or lahm b'3ajin - Farrouj meshwe - Chicken Shawarma Staff very careful and very clean place. In conclusion, If you want to try Lebanese food you definitely have to go.

I love a good falafel and I've been wanted to try from here as reviews were really good. I really enjoyed my falafel wrap, it was delicious. It's a very small place and only a couple of tables so you may have to eat standing or something. It was fresh with sauces so wasn't dry like most, fresh pickles and nicely cooked wrap. I do recommend and will return if im in town and need a snack.

The Man who serves you is Rude beyond a doubt!! I would have ignored it but after charging me £7! For £4.50 falafel! Its an Absolute Scam. I would check 1st before tapping your card. He doesn't answer you properly and acts like he's doing us a favour when we are the paying CUSTOMER!

The best falafel in town. Proper Arabic shawarma and great knafeh.

The disrespect is profound in this place!

I've never been a big fan of chicken shawarma or wraps, my go to has always been lamb döner on chips...Until I tried this place on my first visit to the town centre, it's so tasty, perfect combination of sauces on your wrap, now that's our first stop whenever we're in town. Highly recommended.

Staff was soo rude , not answering properly, would not suggest and will never go again.

Worst behaviour, he didn’t give respect to customers.

Other than the annoying high-pitched song, we found a hair in one of the wraps.

Very average Shawarma .. still searching for the best shawarma in Leicester

Absolutely the best food in Leicester. Owner is so lovely and friendly (and often sings when he's cooking!). The food is unbelievably good. If you've never tasted fresh falafel then you must go here. You'll never have that awful supermarket stuff again. The falafel and hummas wraps are all made fresh to order (and pressed in a paninis maker at the end for that lovely wrap texture). One of Leicester's best kept secrets!

Simply put : the tastiest chicken shawarma in Leicester. Fillings were generous and it was juicy and fresh. Dine in is just at the entrance so it’s good for a quick bite but not for a relaxed dining experience. However a must try.

Chicken shawarma wraps are amazing and second to none. Freshly cooked to order and the taste is to die for. Every time I visit Leicester this is my go to food venue

Tried the chicken shawarma wrap first time here today and it was amazing. Highly recommend try this place out. 👌. The guy even sings a song when preparing the food.

Although this place is just a small "hole in the wall", the food is so authentic, tasty and filling. We had chicken shawarma wraps, made by a friendly Lebanese guy, and at £3.50 per wrap I defy you to get anything better in Leicester city centre for the money. Will definitely be returning.

This is the worst customer service in leicester, the guy with the white hair and beard and his bandana is really disrespectful, he refused to take my order and asks me not to insist, shame on him, syrians are people welcoming smiling and respectful I doubt that he is part of it

One of the staff must be polite, when he speaks to me i have no idea if he is rude or angry or jocking, i dont come to this restaurant anymore because of his behavior.

Very good service and brilliant shawarmas. Plus, there's jalapeños:)

Amazing food and great atmospheres. Would definitely recommend especially that the prices are more than reasonable.

Great food, both falafel and chicken, everything is freshly done. Really kind and happy people working there making the visit a real pleasure! Prices are unbelievably low.

Me and my gf have been here many times and we absolutely love it. It hits the spot every time and the price is unbeatable. The only downside is there’s not much seating, but thats understandable given how low they can keep their prices. If you want delicious authentic homemade falafel this us the place.

My favourite place for lunch in Leicester, never disappoints. You get excellent food cooked fresh, for a very reasonable price. I'd particularly recommend the falafel and hummus wrap!

Very tasty Lebanese shawarmas here! The thoum (garlic paste) put inside the shawarma wrap is so delicious.

Food is lovely here. The 2 Arabic brothers are great at what they do. I always come here if I'm near by and have some change in my pocket. Just wished they took card payments!!

Probably on the best I have outside of London. A must if you good middle Eastern good.

A truly delightful place from which to get food. There is some outdoor seating at this centrally located eatery, but if it's taken the are plenty of other public places in close proximity where one can sit and enjoy some gorgeous flavours. The staff are very cheerful, the food is delicious and the prices are more than reasonable. A scrumptious falafel and halloumi wrap with fries and a drink is a bargain at £5 and will be freshly prepared in approximately 5-6 minutes from the moment the order is taken. There is on occasion a queue, which can mean slight delays in service, but that's only to be anticipated at a place that offers such great value! Highly recommended.

I can't say how long I have waited for my order with poor service

It was very good... We enjoyed a lot

Worst customer service Ever! It is clear that if you are a women anf disabled the owner regards you as a second class citizen since he refused to even try and serve my friend and I until the rest of the queue was gone. I guess we were an inconvenience. I will never buy food from there and would urge others to do the same. Disgusting in this day and age.

Excellent value for freshly made, delicious falafel. Wraps are pillowy, like naan, with a good selection of salad bits and sauces. Kebabs also available although I've never tried them. A little gem of a lunch venue.

Excellent authentic falafel wraps! Definitely top 2 in the city! The owner is a cool guy too

Amazing food, all homemade fresh sauces and the price is very decent.

Quality and tasty falafel wrap I ever tasted, reminded me with my home land.

I love this place. Chicken shawarma is particularly good

Miserable, rude and abrupt…needs to learn some manners. This isn’t Syria, where you can raise your voice and be arrogant towards your customers. Good customer service costs nothing. Learn some etiquette brother!!!!!

Best falafel in leicester by far

Hidden gem. Great shawarma and falafel.

Walked past because of the smell, and had to immediately turn back and try some shawarma, I did not regret it at all, fantastic food, incredible flavours, would 100% recommend!!

Lovely staff and brilliant chicken shawarma wrap at a competitive price. All round great place for lunch.

Falafel Land is very popular in Leicester city centre for any kind of wrap food, so delicious and friendly staff, just next to Poundland...

Great place to eat, well worth a visit

Excellent shawarma wrap! Best I've had in leicester for sure

One of the best chicken shawarma in leicster

such a nice owner who sings while preparing fresh food with arabic music in the background, the chicken shawarma and chips are insanely good, all the dishes are at an amazing price for such a high quality meal! will absolutely return for more orders regularly, it became one of my favourite shawarma places of all time

Best Falafel I ever had real taste love it will come again for sure

Fresh and tasty shawarma wrap. I was amazed the first time I tried it. After finishing one wrap, I felt like having another one. The atmosphere is lovely: The owner puts some Arabic music and starts singing! 👏🏽

Best falafel in Leicester!!! So fresh, cant get fresher, and amazing price £3 for falafel wrap

This place has one of the best shawarmas in Leicester. Also the freshly made falafel are amazing too, I would defo recommend trying this place out for lunch if your ever in town

This is a true Leicester staple! If you're in the city you must try it

AWESOME. I always get the falafel wrap here. It costs £3, and it's freshly cooked for you and incredibly tasty. It's the kind of food that you immediately want to go and buy another of because it's that good. Not because you're hungry! Can not recommended highly enough.

Fantastic food and value for money!

Falafel Wrap £3 !! Absolutely Amazing. Tastes Great.

Don't let looks deceive you. This place is on a busy corner in Leicester City centre. Step up to the counter and your are transported to the middle east. I had a falafel and halloumi wrap with plenty of fresh salad and a tasty chilli sauce in a large flatbread. This was folded up and heated panini style - Wow! £3.50

Flafel land in Leicester is the best Flafel I have ever tasted since I arrived to the UK. It is freshly prepared, the portion is generous and very well priced. I definitely recommend the place if you want to try the authentic taste of the Mediterranean Flafel or if you are a middle eastern or an Arab that craves for a taste of home! Last but not least, owner and staff are beyond hospitable and polite Enjoy!

I enjoyed the food. When I am seeking a change to my usual food on the go, I go there and it does not disappoint

Absolutely love this place. It’s very well priced, authentic, delicious and the staff/owner are so kind. The chilli sauce is something else. I fear if I lived closer to town I would spend all my wages here!

Offers popular middle eastern street food, whether it's falafel or shawarma that you fancy. It's no frills and you are not spoilt for choice but what it is, is a great spot for a grab and go lunch. Wraps are full of flavour.

I've walked by this place a number of times, usually when I've just eaten. This time I was pretty hungry so I grabbed a falafel and hummus wrap. It came jammed full of salad and chili sauce and cost £3.50. I had a bottle of ayran to accompany (£1) which was nice to cool the tastebuds down! An explosion of taste with this authentic Lebanese Street food. Highly recommended.

Best Syrian shawarma in Leicester.. amazing taste and the staff are generous and friendly

Good price and good food, it has a set price and as much as you can eat.

Not good, won't be ever using this place again

Honestly could call this place shawarma land, because the shawarma is absolutely amazing and really amazing prices. Was holding off on a review until I got around to trying the falafel, been there quite a few times but find it hard not to order the shawarma. Finally tried the falafel, and have to say it's the best I've had in the UK. For the price the wraps are quite filling, definitely worth trying whether you're looking for a place to get your shawarma/falafel fix, or you're looking to try a bit of Middle Eastern street food for the first time. You'll certainly not regret it.

We wanted a snack on the go. What could we get....a burger, a sandwich, a roll...no nothing seemed very appealing. Then we spotted Falafel Land. Cooked to order the falafel wrap was hands down the best we have ever eaten, seriously good. Sometimes the simplest ingredients makes the best meals. Can’t wait to go back.

best place i ate falafel .definitely going back just to eat falafel

Not partaken in food ,coudos for name

Lovely simple eatery. The falafel wrap is £3. And it’s lovely. I’ve got it regularly because it’s filling too. You don’t really need the chips. Bit they’re nice too. It’s also a great way of avoiding Buffet Mania next door. Which you should. Poundland on the other side is a good place to get pudding.

Traditionally made falafel, served in a wrap.

best falafel in Leicester so delicious 100%

Best falafel I've ever eaten. Cooked fresh every time it's perfectly seasoned and simply delicious
