FilFil Cafe

There’s a prevalent stereotype that vegetarians and vegans get the short end of the stick when it comes to fast food. Thanks to FilFil, we have access to easy, mouth-watering Middle Eastern cuisine, conveniently located in the centre of North Laine.

Their Philosophy

Owner Amal, who grew up in the Middle East, decided to create a Middle Eastern café offering traditional falafel for diners to enjoy while socializing and to take home.

Hot, vegetarian falafel is the shop’s signature dish. It is prepared to order and made from scratch. Falafel is the star of the menu, making it one of the best quick meals there is. The recipe is handed down through generations. Falafel is called filfil in Arabic and it means chilli. They make freshly made falafel every day. A good glass of wine or beer can be a great way to start a meal. You should also try some great coffee.

What’s about FilFil that we love?

FilFil has been our go-to falafel place since it opened, and we simply cannot get enough of it! Let me tell you, we’ve eaten lots of falafel! But it’s so much more than that. Whether it’s salads, dips or side dishes, absolutely everything is to die for!

You can eat as much hummus as you like, and as much falafel and baba ghanoush as your heart desire.

Plus, it’s a lovely family-run business that is kid-friendly and always welcomes visitors the minute you walk in. A wonderful place would not exist without the hardworking, positive staff. This place offers great service!

There are no words to describe this place, whether you like or dislike falafel, you should make an effort to try it – you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

You’ll be more than welcome to stop in during your weekend stroll downtown or as you’re winding down from a long shopping day.
