Umi Falafel in Belfast

Best food, takeaway is better as I don't particularly vibe with the ambiance. Smiling is optional.

Lovely friendly staff. Rearranged tables and chairs for us. We ordered in advance as we were a big party and they had it right on time. Great food

I loved the food Cheap, good and very nice

Palestinian falafel wrap with halloumi was delicious. Portion size is great - ate at 3pm and skipped dinner after. Friendly service.

Umi is always brilliant! Just a shame that the meal deals don't apply after 6.30pm like in other branches

Delicious falafel and sweet potato fries

Probably the best falafel wrap I’ve ever had. Ingredients were fresh, the size very big and taste unbeatable. The best thing was the very kind staff, special thanks to Yaprak!

Authentic. Palestinian girl was serving me. Fabulous food.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, great food and service

The best place in Béal Feirste for vegans. Everything about Umi, from the food to the service to the prices, is amazing.

Always pretty quiet when I go but the teams are very quick and helpful. The food is fresh but doesn't always have deep flavours and spice. Portions are good so overall a good option for lunch.

The palestinian falafel has me wishing I lived near an Umi.

Nice food. Awesome veg options. Great taste and quality. I had grilled halloumi cheese falafel and it taste great.

All extraordinarily wonderful 🔝🕉️🧡

I don't think I can find better value for money. The Palestinian falafel is just perfect. It's worth the detour!

Delicious palestinian falafel and lentil soup. Generous portions.

The Palestinian falafel was tastier than the Lebanese one🥙👌🏼. And, they have a student discount, making it a great affordable option

The food is so tasty and the staff are kind and helpful.

Very good Palestinian falafel for cheap. Fast and friendly service.

Umi Falafel make great falafels, which they serve in wraps, pita bread type pockets and sandwiches. My favourite is the palestinian falafel in a pocket. You can sit in or take away. I go regularly and food has always been delicious. Umi Falafel may be worth considering for vegetarians and vegan because falafel are plant based. Umi Falafel is popular and can get a little bit busy at peak times, but I have always had excellent service from the friendly staff.

Always the best service and amazing food 💞💞💞

Nice Palestinian falafel. Quite big. The halloumi wrap is good too. The Irish juices are really tasty. The hummus could come with some olive oil on top or in a bowl instead of a takeaway plastic container, but I guess it's good if you intend to take the rest home. Service is good

Tasty falafel (Tamiah)! I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo, and the plate was empty in minutes. The prices are still bit high for falafel, but hopefully, we'll see lower prices at falafel restaurants in the future. Totally recommend

I really love the food from here. It's priced about right, doesn't take too long, and the atmosphere is decent. However, I really really wish this place would get wifi so I could actually do more than just eat my lunch there.

It's 1:30 p.m. on a Monday in August. I wanted to eat light and cheap. There are no surprises because the menu with the prices is clearly visible on the front of the restaurant. I had some difficulty choosing because I'm not used to Lebanese restaurants. As my Japanese friend would have said, a picture of the dish would be welcome. I ordered at the counter I was given a number and went to sit, a pleasant waitress came to bring my order 3 minutes later... I am comfortably seated. The restaurant is almost full but not really noisy there is Sting's song in the background "Every breath you take". I chose "the Palestinian falafel" It's delicious ! it's a pita bread in which we find falafel, hummus, sliced ​​tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, grilled eggplant, a light touch of chili and a delicious tahini. The whole is of 1st freshness, unctuous and thirst-quenching at the same time. And it's big enough to make a full meal for just 6.50 pounds, it's fabulous, I've found my favorite everyday restaurant😋💯👍 Friends come and try!

Delicious food at a great value. For the Palestinian falafel for £6.95 and it was massive. Great spot to visit if you’re in the area, and the falafel is delicious.

Great food, low cost and lots of vegan options.

Great tasty food and fabulous vegan options. Highly recommend a visit.

Love this place, the customizability is a big plus, you can put pretty much whatever you want in your dish, or choose one of the premade options, like the palestinian falafel that's very good !

I've been going back and forth every friday to this restaurant to get the meal deal of the Grilled Halloumi Sandwich with Potato Wedges and Mayo Dip. Good value and portion. Very tasty, especially if you are a cheese/halloumi lover like me.

I could happily live on the food they serve here. It's nutritious, tasty and well priced. When in this part of town it's one place where I know I can get consistent quality and a healthy light lunch.

Really tasty food, reasonably priced

Plant based options on the breakfast. 👌 Staff are all very friendly.

We stumbled upon this place by chance, what a nice surprise!The food is really excellent, products are fresh and all is vegetarian! Wish I had the same place back home.

I’d heard really good things about this falafel place over the last year, needless to say it met them. Pretty well priced too for what you get, definitely sets you up for the rest of the day

Amazing food. Defo best falafel ive ever had. Huge portion as well.

I love their food, never disappointing me:) I recommend it.

Amazing falafel, was looking for something healthy to eat and instead found one of the best falafels that I have tried

The cuisine is of very high quality, especially for the price. They have both vegetarian and vegan alternatives on their menu. The food was provided in just a couple of minutes, and I had a good experience both eating in and ordering takeaway. The staff members are friendly. Everything we ate was made right in front of us and was quite tasty. The batata hara are wonderful, they have a lovely spicy flavor. All things considered, this is a great option for a fast bite at any time of day. I heartily urge everyone who appreciates delicious meals to try it.

Fantastic spot for lunch then Palestinian falafel wrap is beautiful and the halloumi wrap top top notch. Great staff always super friendly and welcoming.

Had the best restaurant style plant-based meal in 4 years! Made fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. Would order every item on the menu :)

The falafel and flat breads are fresh and tasty. It is basic in terms of decor and don't expect plates or cutlery if you sit in (seems to be a growing trend). I like it for a quick and filling bite which is different to the usual burgers and pre-made stuff you get elsewhere. Not wheelchair friendly as there is a step up to the door.

Very good. While in Belfast, we loved it.

Excellent vegan food, service is always great

We came here on Eid day with my 14 family members to get falafel, we ordered 21 falafel sandwiches and paid £138 in total so we would expect a nice treatment from them, the manager was the most disrespectful manger i have ever seen, met us with a disgusted face and kept giving us attitude because we were doing a big order, we asked to remove some of the things that we dislike in the sandwich and he wanted to charge us extra even though we’re saving him more food. I told him he should respect customers and treat them nicely otherwise he loses customers but he said “you’re talking too much and i am busy”. My mum asked him to give her 1 piece of falafel to try but he said she has to pay for it even though we have paid £138! Very stingy of him. I would recommend to save your money and don’t come to a place where you will get treated rudely with disrespect. We didn’t even sit in the restaurant because we didn’t want to be loud or or anything but still got treated badly

Yummy and v filling for what you pay

Love the food here, extremely healthy and fresh. Friendly and attentive people working there too.

Really tasty falafel wrap - the bread was really light and soft, and the falafel were really moist. Great crunch from the accompaniments, and it was a filling lunch.

Best falafel I've ever had! The wrap was incredible, you get to choose your filling and sauce. Very generous portions as well for the price. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely delicious. Had the Palestinian pocket- made super fast, really tasty and filling. So glad we came here. I didn't take a picture because I was too happy eating! Best falafel we've had in SO long!

Always end up coming back to Umi - flavour, vibes, service, value - it’s the perfect package.

Had lunch with a friend here last week and tried the Palestinian Falafel for £6. Good serving size, quickly served, and was delicious! Will come back for more. The cafe vibe is also 💯

Very tasty food in a clean and bright setting. Perfect for a quick bite.

Number one for my lunchtime falafel fix. Beautiful food and friendly staff every visit. The meal 1 - palestinian with batata hara and a drink 👌👌👌 you wont regret it!

Food is great. Service is great. When I've been I it, it has usually been empty, but, nevertheless, it is a nice place to sit. Deserves more people going into it, but maybe it needs to do something about that.

Really lovely food. My first Falafel and absolutely not my last. Friendly helpful staff and quick service.

Not sure why this place isn't more packed. Each bite makes you realise how fresh the ingredients are. Lovely food on the cheap...Highly recommended!

Absolutely love Ummi Falafel: they have stayed absolutely consistent over the years amazing fresh filling vegetarian food at a wonderful price. Staff are friendly, restaurant clean the best falafel I’ve ever had and I’ve tried in many places including Arab counties. If I could give 100 out of 10 I would ❤️❤️❤️

Nice place to sit in. Helpful, friendly staff and delicious Mediterranean food.

Delicious food and friendly staff

Umi Falafel is a Lebanese chain restaurant with locations across Ireland. Here in Belfast the location is perfect being right beside Queens at the top of Botanic Avenue. The interior is open and airy, the process to order is simple and it is as easy to sit in as it is to takeaway. On the menu there are lots of plant-based options but I had the classic combination of the Palestinian Falafel and the Batata Hara. The Falafel itself is very tasty and they are all made fresh behind the counter. The salad is always fresh and genuinely adds a lot of flavour. The batata hara are amazing, they are spiced perfectly and have a lovely zesty flavour too. Overall this is an amazing shout for a quick bite to eat at any time of day but it has an especially good meal deal which is served to 6pm. I would advise anyone who enjoys food to try it out 😁

I've gotten this food several times. I LOVE the Fatoush salad with mint, the baba ganoush, the haloumi cheese - everything - so fresh and delicious.

Came here because we stayed in airbnb nearby and it was definitely worth it. I found out that I don't need meat to have delicious dinner and these guys can make really good alternatives without meat. It was my first try with lebanese cuisine and definitely not the last one. We got Palestinian and Lebanese sandvich.

Best Lebanese food in town. Visit and give a try to cheese filled falafels. As have been in Lebanon and tasted local cuisine this is one of the best I’ve had.

Hands down my favorite food in town 😍

انا عربية🤍 و بالطبع أول ما قدمت إلى بلفاست وعرفت المحل، اشتريت منهم ساندويش فلافل كان لذيذ جداً و مشبع لان حجمه كبير والبطاطا الحره والبطاطا الحلوة والسلطات كلها لذيذة والعاملون العرب لطيفين جداً وخدمتهم سريعة

Tasty food and a great place to go before the QFT cinema

It seems to me like a pure vegan menu. Price reasonable, quantity good,not that you pay riches for a byte. I visited in late october , personally had a lentil soup which was creamy, and sumptous. Had also crispy spinach rolls and sweet potato fries. Was non spicy, mild, i appreciated that. There are more spicy options as well. People mostly came for takeaways, but i enjoyed sitting, the atmosphere was nice. No salt ,pepper, sauces or napkins on tables. Simple but very nice and good looking. Service correct. Would love to come back again.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared in front of us. The setting was very clean, tables, seating, floor and any food prep areas that we could see. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, as it was our first visit we needed some help figuring out what we would like to eat and the staff were very patient with us. I will absolutely be back sometime soon. We ordered; -Palestinian falafel X2 -Sweet potato fries -Batata hara -Breded halloumi sticks -Dips - tahini, mango sauce, chili

Very nice staff, falafel is brilliant, I should hope it is authentic arabic food :), p.s I hope everyone is safe in palestine/levant

Great value, delicious babaganoush, falafel, the Palestinian flatbread. Love coming to Umi on the regular for lovely grub! 100% Great spot for people watching on Botanic too and excellent music. Lastly, I'm vegan and there are excellent vegan options 🤤

The Lebanese & Palestinian Falafels were the best I’ve tasted. Glad I stopped here!!

Gets better every time. Fresh, tasty, delicious food that doesn't cost the earth. Lots to choose from (except meat), and everything is so delicious. A huge favourite amongst takeaways, in our house. The breaded halloumi sandwich was the favourite dish from this order, but nothing ever disappoints. The biggest problem is stopping myself from over-ordering. That said, the leftovers always taste great the next day.

Lovely and very testy falafel and salad with traditional bread.

Good services and delecious food❤️

I have got the Palestanin falafel sandwich and it was good the only thing that I would recommend is to add fries to it (with the same price) because falafel supposed to be cheaper tbh😅overall I recommend it👌🏼

Suitable also for vegetarians! Very good!

Fresh and tasty. Easygoing atmosphere. Great service

The Falafel was well made, I requested spicy and the owner added some sauce and pickle Everything was fresh and the place is clean and popular. I would choose this place over any other kind of fast food .

My go-to for lunch on Botanic! Fast, tasty and healthier than a lot of other handy lunch options.

Great food and staff. The service is quite professional and quick.

Very good food!! Healthy and tasty! Service was fast and the place has a good sitting area. I would highly recommend it!

Great falafel wraps and starters. The mango dip is amazing! And so is the baklava! Excellent eatery with decent prices.

My absolute favourite takeaway in Belfast. It's my go-to if I'm feeling lazy and want something tasty but healthy! The baklava is also to die for and their homemade drinks and salads are delicious and fresh. Good value for money too! Big YUM ❤️

Best place in Belfast to eat. Delicious food and lovely people. And not too pricey either.

Brilliant low-key vegetarian falafel place with loads of vegan options.

Palestinian Falafel Sandwich is amazing. We ordered delivery and it was super quick and everything we ordered was great.

First time here & totally loved the food, ambience & great service! 👍

In a city where food is not important and very underwhelming this is a stand out ! First night had the hummus & cauliflower fritters - really tasty (when food here is often bland) and heaps of food for a reasonable cost (and even poor food is expensive here) After a few beers headed back for dinner ….was sad as they had sold out of cauliflower fritters. A young American women order the same thing while I was deciding and when told it sold out swapped to the “The Palestinian” She told me “it’s good” Boy was she correct it was great ! And at 6.5 pounds good value filling and yummy…. If your looking for tasty this is the place for you ….pub food in Ireland is expensive and below average - so have a beer at the pub and head to uni falafel for dinner Thank you so dying for a meal I can enjoy !

Love it here, working through the menu, everything is delicous, staff are always very pleasant and helpful!! Their baba ganoush is the best ive ever tasted!! Highly recommend!!

The food was AMAZING! The falafel had a very interesting but exquisite flavour. On top of that, the customer service was great. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful service. Apparently all made from scratch, so fresh and not processed. Only improvement would be to have compostable or washable cutlery and less plastic generally.

great place great food great value. Also is informs of everything happening in Belfast on the counter facing the street excelente lugar de buen valor y comida. También el restaurante te informa de todo de la que está pasando en Belfast en la mesa que esta en el dirección de la calle

Great vibe, food was served quickly and it was excellent! Best food I’ve had in Belfast so far!!!

Very mid falafel wrap - it was fine and it wasn’t too pricy but it was just ok

Good value, quality felafel and decent coffee too. I had the Palestinian Felafel, which was tasty and bigger than I was expecting!

One of the best places I have ever been to. I like the Palestinian ( double aubergine) and the batata hara the most. Worth a try.

One of my favourite places to eat as a vegan in Belfast, the Palestinian pita is my favourite. There are plenty of drink and side options, with my other favourites including the fresh, organic and vegan friendly carrot juice and the baba ghanouj. The only thing holding Umi back from perfection is that flavours can at times be inconsistent or the preparation team failing to advise if they have ran out of certain ingredients and giving the option to replace. However, I am still a daily regular customer and do love to dine here.

Delicious Falafel, Professional service

The food was very dry and a bit cold. The prices are ok. The falafel was filling but it wasn't that tasty. The staff was good at their service and ambience was also good
