Falafel in Southwark

Wow, wow, wow. I first came here when I lived in Camberwell in May 2021 and my God have I missed it. I lived in Camberwell until April 2022 and my dreams have been filled with nothing but Falafel and Chicken Shawarma. I’ve dreamt of nothing more in the past two years than leaving Pure Gym after a hardcore 2 hour session and making my way to this hidden gem for 2 wraps for £7. I haven’t been here in over two years, so now the wraps are 2 for £9, but despite inflation going up, the taste remains the same. A must visit for all South London residents. I’ll be back.

Where to even start. This place is hands down the best falafel wrap place in london, and dare I say it in the whole world. Honestly, I get withdrawals from these wraps. Whilst it may not look like much from the outside, it is truly a hidden gem. I bang on about this place to my friends that dont live in london so much that I insist when they visit they have to try it, and its always highly rated. I love this place so much I even had a hinge prompt dedicated to it. I would say go, but I selfishly don’t want it to get even more popular and for the prices to continue going up. But for real, the wrap is huge, tastes a 10/10 and its pretty cheap for london. Funnily enough I’m not living in london for the next year, and genuinely one of the things I’m most bummed about is no longer living near here.

Honestly, the best shawarma in London! Great value for money! My husband and I got addicted to this place we drive here every weekend just to get our Shawarma (£4.50), plus the chicken shawarma with rice (£7.50)! After trying this place once, we don’t go anywhere else because other places do not have the same taste and quantity/volume per order! It’s good value for money very highly Recommended!!

"I've been a loyal customer of 'Falafel and Shawarma' for three years, but my recent experiences have been nothing short of infuriating. The first incident involved finding hair in my chilli, followed by receiving garlic instead of chilli on another occasion. Today, despite leaving a clear note requesting chilli sauce, I received two pots of garlic sauce, and my potatoes were burnt to a crisp. What's more infuriating is that the driver, who barely speaks English, brazenly stole from me. He claimed he would change the garlic to chilli and bring it back but never showed up. This isn't just a disappointing service; it's criminal behavior. I've been blatantly stolen from, and this driver's actions are unacceptable. I want to make it clear that I will be reporting this theft to the relevant authorities. Furthermore, I will be posting this review on TripAdvisor to ensure that others are aware of the dishonesty and poor service I've experienced. I demand that 'Falafel and Shawarma' take immediate action to make amends. They should either refund me personally via bank transfer for the inconvenience caused by the last two orders or provide a full refund for those orders. It's disheartening to see a restaurant I once trusted take such a steep decline in quality, especially during a time when people are facing financial challenges. 'Falafel and Shawarma' needs to step up its game and prioritize customer satisfaction. This driver's actions are not just disappointing; they are criminal, and they must be addressed urgently."

I would die for this wonderful, affordable, friendly Camberwell institution. If one day the death penalty is – for whatever reason – reinstated, and I am (wrongly) accused of a crime for which shuffling off this mortal coil is my unfortunate penalty, when asked for my last meal I will whisper this: "I didn't do it. But bring me a falafel wrap with aubergine from Falafel & Shawarma, Camberwell. I can't believe they're accusing me of this; I didn't do it. And a carrot and ginger juice please".

Las envolturas aquí son increíblemente sabrosas, al igual que la sambusa, y tienen un valor increíblemente bueno: ¡una envoltura de falafel y 4 sambusa llegaron a solo 5!Pero lo que realmente distingue a este lugar es el nivel de servicio. Siempre hay una gran cola, pero no dejes que eso te desanime, ya que el servicio es muy eficiente y te atenderán en poco tiempo. Y sin embargo, a pesar de estar muy ocupado, el personal todavía tiene tiempo para atender a cada cliente.Sin quejas. Me encanta el lugar y voy al menos una vez a la semana.

Food here is great especially the vegetarian mezze. I have been a regular. But whilst staff were wearing masks they weren’t wearing them over their nose (just mouth). Masks worn like this are not effective. Will not return until this is resolved. NOT COVID-19 SAFE.

Food is excellent, staff are friendly, prices are perfect and now they even have a card machine. Highly recommended !

Quite simply the best community restaurant/takeaway around. Kind staff, friendly atmosphere AND affordable. You will not regret it.

We ordered from this restaurant and were waiting and waiting, but the food did not turn up. We were told it had been delivered. Presumably the driver eat it or dumped it??

This is a restaurant that is packed at lunch and dinner time cheap affordable food nice simple menu well worth a visit

Este restaurante es sinceramente el mejor. El servicio es maravilloso, además, el personal es muy amable. La comida siempre está fresca y deliciosa; saludable también. Todos están siempre sonrientes y acogedores. El propietario, Mahmoud, es extremadamente amable y muy generoso. Recomiendo ir!

The guy serving you the falafel is a beast at it, his smile brightens anyone's day. Best value for best falafel. Would recommend the carrot juice drink too! Super nutritious and good :)

Can’t beat this place... Great service- quick and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Big and flavourful wraps. The lemon juice drink is also great. Highly recommend for anyone who hasn’t tried. Really good prices as well.

Siempre compro una envoltura de shawarma de pollo aquí incluso si paso o incluso cuando estoy en casa comiendo Uber. Incluso si pongo con cubiertos y servilletas, no ponen los cubiertos y las servilletas. Pedí dos veces a través de Uber come y el falafel es diferente. Simplemente ponen las salsas lo que quieran. En primer lugar, no hay chile, en segundo lugar, estaba muy picante. Así que no estoy seguro de cómo puedo ordenar aquí. Fui a la tienda y no me pregunté si quería chile o ajo, pero el siguiente chico a mi lado le preguntó si quería chile o ajo. Luego, me dijo de manera grosera "la próxima vez dime si quieres chile o ajo porque está ahí". Trabajo en un restaurante y no me trataron muy bien aquí. Supongo que el origen étnico es importante aquí, ya que soy de Asia.

Love this place. Great food and the staff are so friendly. The other week they opened up the shop for us after they had closed and cleared everything up.

Solía ser TAN bueno, pero ahora tienen un montón de personal nuevo que tiene un servicio al cliente deficiente. Comida ordenada y dos miembros del personal trataron de convencerme de que estaba fresca. Lo sacó y hacía frío de piedra tenía que ir a la papelera. Creo que si traen de vuelta a su buen personal honesto, entonces tal vez vuelva, pero mi opinión, después de tantos años, todo ha ido cuesta abajo.

I’ve had many falafels wraps in my time but this one tops all. It was simply delicious and had such flavoursome ingredients. The use of fresh parsley was a really nice touch! Highly recommend!!!

Lugares como este son pocos y distantes entre sí en Londres en estos días. Comida abundante servida por la comunidad a la comunidad.  5 le ofrecerá una zanahoria y jugo de jengibre o una limonada hecha en casa (1 .50 cada una) más una envoltura de falafel (3. 50). Llévalo al parque y toma el sol. Es brillante.

Impossible to eat. Wrapped in so much paper it was so hard to open Then fell apart in my hand even while wrapped in paper. Wrap had holes in it and no integrity. Good price but very disappointing. Cash only.

We have visited this place several times as a couple & with friends/family during the months of December 2018, January & February 2019. We have never been disappointed. The place is very popular, and sometimes has a queue and busy tables but the staff are quick to serve & the food is amazing, tasty, plentiful & excellent value for money. I would say that on all occasions we were made to feel welcome by all of the staff.

Nice ambience, lively and well attended. This place made me fall in love with Falafel again. Authentic, good taste, and well turned out servings. My Daughter recommended this place for lunch and we ordered the Mezze a shawarma roll and a falafel...and yes dont forget to add the lemonada to your order it is made of fresh lemons with a dash of mint. all of this for just about 10 pounds. Highly recommended. The people at the counter were very warm and welcoming. lively and good nagtured. if you are in thye vicinity make sure to step in.

This is a ridiculously cheap but very tasty quick eating option, if you are in the area. £5 will buy you a delicious chicken wrap and a carrot juice. Now a Camberwell institution.

Me encantaba llevar comida para llevar de este lugar debido a la calidad de la comida y sus precios hasta que un día visité para comer con mi familia. Mi familia y yo estábamos esperando nuestros pedidos en nuestra mesa, pero nos relalised estaba sucio; había comida por todos lados e incluso se sentía pegajosa, ¡lo que es comprensible es un lugar de comida! ¡Y sucede en todos los lugares de comida! Le preguntamos a la señora detrás del mostrador si alguien podría limpiarlo para nosotros y ella respondió que no. Fue una respuesta muy vaga, pero entendimos que ella podría haber estado estresada ya que estaba muy ocupada. Preguntamos de nuevo y él dijo "No, te daré un paño y tú puedes hacerlo tú mismo". "Cuando mi papá escuchó esto, se levantó para preguntar por qué y ella respondió:" Esto no es comer en este lugar, se supone que no debes sentarte aquí y comer ". "Así que mi padre dijo que si ese era el caso, ¿por qué nos preguntaron si queríamos comer o tomar algo cuando pedimos nuestra comida y por qué hay mesas y asientos? Y la mujer simplemente respondió "depende de ti, puedes ir a otro lado". "Esto fue extremadamente grosero sin ningún motivo.

La persona que escribió la crítica sobre este lugar horrible es sólo una aunque odio y probablemente una horrible persona. Falafel y Shawarma es un lugar increíble y en realidad es limpio, el hecho de que no es de lujo no significa que no está limpio. He estado aquí miles de veces y la comida es muy sabrosa, hay garbanzos en el hummus y hay garbanzos en el falafel. El pollo es delicioso y las samosas (no son llamados samosas creo, pero se me olvidó el nombre) nunca son suaves, al menos no me ha pasado todavía.

Not too many choices,but tasty food. I wouldn't come for a dinner but for lunch or a takeaway- great place. On my opinion quite cheap- 3.5 for a wrap. Would recommend falafel wrap, it is loaded with salad, greens, onions and delicious falafels, you can choose from sauces as well

Had lunch today. & ordered meze.

The taste is superb with no comparison and the guys love was put in it for our enjoyment! The chilli sauce is superb and the price is unbeatable!

We enjoyed excellent shawerma, falafel and juices last night at an incredibly reasonable price. They have it just right with a small menu that they do really well.

Only a small menu but absolutely perfect. Consistent high quality delicious wraps and sambusak. Go there at least twice a month for lunch or dinner!

This is a hidden and humble gem in camberwell green. Falafel is fantastic and the prices are even better. This restaurant is student friendly, lots from King’s are coming to try these plates. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. During peak times, they do their best to serve customers. I do like coming to eat this food. All plates are fantastic! Come along and grab one of them.

Can't recommend this place enough. I can safely say it is the best falafel/shawarma there is, and for incredibly affordable prices you get an extremely high quality of food. It may seem austere, but the food is truly excellent.

Delicious, quick, good service and can't be beaten on price. £3.50 for a Shawarma wrap. Best shawarma around this part of London

Yum Yum - mi hija me trajo aquí para un bocado rápido, realmente deliciosa y fresca, disfrutamos plenamente de mi Falafel, preparada con ingredientes frescos y encantador - el pollo Shawarma era verdaderamente delicioso - agradable bebidas caseras también una limonada y minty zanahoria y jengibre! Hay zonas donde sentarse y comer, que se mantienen limpias y ordenadas, fantástica para un bocado rápido y sabroso.

Tengo que visitar el hospital kings cada seis meses, lo más destacado es este lugar. Pollo schwarma envoltura es increíble como los falafel y la limonada. Propietario muy amable siempre comida fresca y estupenda relación calidad-precio. Hacer un desvío para venir aquí.

Probado este lugar por recomendación de un amigo. Me quedé impresionado con el falafel wraps y el mezze. Este es un lugar sin lujos, con un menú limitado, pero la comida es excelente y muy razonable de precio. Si estás cerca de probarlo.

Qué descubrimiento maravilloso. Tan cerca de King's College Hospital. Almuerzo o cena en este lugar ha sido siempre ocupado. No esperar mucho. La comida es simple - falafel o shawarma de pollo o en un valor envoltura plato fantástico para calidad-precio. He comido mucho pero mi boca quiere más.

En realidad llamado Falafel y Shawarma. Almorzamos aquí - la envoltura falafel. Es genial - sabroso, buen texturas y creo que es también muy barato, pero yo no iba a pagar! También tuve la zanahoria y jengibre copa, que era una maravilla. Altamente recomendado - vamos de nuevo la próxima vez que estemos en Londres.

Relaxed environment with extremely friendly staff. Food is amazing, falafel and mezzes and wraps. Lovely fresh lemon juice and carrot/ginger juice. Great value for money.

Cracking falafel at a price you couldn't argue with! Nom nom nom. Try the baklava too... I go to it very regularly and always get extra aubergine. I've only had the shwarma once but it too was excellent.

Lovely Felafels all fresh and made to order. Not date night stuff as the lighting is too bright and has the feel of a take-away...

This place is clean, with excellentquality falafel and an amusing and fast owner. What's not to like?!

Often drive through Camberwell with friends and their kids and they always scream out, let's go to Mr. Falafel. Great place to stop off for a filling snack / light lunch. Some of the tastiest falafels I've had in London. Great value for money: big portions and low prices. Mr. Falafel himself is very friendly. Good freshly squeezed juices too

Mediterranean/oriental cuisine.For a quick grab, they have a cheap (3£) and extremely high quality falafel sandwiches. I've tried to ask for the falafel recipe, but no luck... in my opinion, the best falafels I've ever eaten.I haven't tried the kebabs but tried the salad plates, very good, fresh and tasty.Very friendly boss and staff as well. Many students grabbing a sandwich. Excellent if you are in the area and in a hurry. I've tried the "best London restaurant" the turkish one in Green lanes, Harringay, their falafels are not as good...I've been there many many times, after visiting the supermarket or the GP next door. This is one of very good local options I've got in the area with "Silk Road" next door, "la Luna" in Walworth Rd and "Pasha" a Turkmen restaurant hiding in Camberwell Rd. There are also trendy options in next door Peckham (Begging Bowl, Ganapati) and in East Dulwich, but much much more expensive.From an expat blissfully living in Beijing after living 4 joyful years in Camberwell Rd, London.Please do take time to rate my review, if you liked it.Also, if interested please do check out my other restaurant and hotels reviews, you'll be surprised at how much an expat can learn about a city. I've lived 11 years in London (successively in Shoreditch, Hampstead, Ealing and Camberwell) Paris (20 years), Brussels (4 years) and now 1 year in Beijing.

This is a really great place if you are looking for a wholesome, quick and cheap bite to eat. I have only ever had the take away but I recommend it.

A really busy and buzzy place with great food and staff. Good fresh food ...get there if you can can can

Очень люблю фалафель - это достойный вариант в Лондоне.Конечно, для россиян с текущим обменным курсом все не очень дешево, но это приемлемо

Great little place to grab a quick, laidback meal. Informal setting but don't let that put you off. The falafel is really good. The guy behind the counter is also exceptionally friendly.

I love this place, and almost want to delete review as I hope it does not become any busier than it already is. The food is all freshly prepared. I don't like falafel so I have never had it. But I have the chicken wrap and the mixed meza plate is also a fave. The service is quick, and the man running the place is friendly. Also excellent value for money. No better place in Camberwell for a quick take out at lunch.

I pop in here when I can't be bothered to cook. Good falafel and very good mezze, all at great value.
