Reviews describe Falafel St. Jacques as a standout for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, with the Lachine location noted for a welcoming atmosphere and comfortable seating. The food is consistently praised for freshness, bold flavor, and a well crafted texture, especially the falafel which is described as freshly fried, light, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, and the house-made pita that is fluffy and satisfying. A wide range of vegan and vegetarian options is highlighted, including plant-based proteins and vegan shawarma, with staff who are friendly, patient, and attentive, making guests feel well cared for. There is also mention of a mini store inside that adds to the experience. Comparison to other Middle Eastern spots often places Falafel St. Jacques at the top, with many calling it the best falafel in Montreal or North America. Value is a theme, with comments about good food at reasonable prices, though a few notes mention unclear pricing on pre-made counter items and labeling on containers. The overall impression is one of genuine hospitality, flavorful plant-forward fare, and a sense of being storytellers of spice and soul.
Le buffet est très variée & appétissant. Plusieurs sortes de salades colorées.
En tant que végane depuis plusieurs années, j'étais choyée de voir toutes les options véganes (boeuf & poulet à base de shiitake, falafels, etc)
L'employé ne parle pas français mais une chance pour moi je suis bilingue, il a été super gentil & m'a offert de gouter aux viandes végé pour m'aider à faire un choix. J'ai pris un pita au poulet général tao végan avec toutes les garnitures & j'ai bien aimé.
Seul bémol, les prix des plats déjà préparé du comptoir à emporter & du congélateur ne sont pas marqués, donc on fait le saut une fois à la caisse car ils ne sont pas donné. Aussi les ingrédients ne sont pas inscrits sur chaque contenant donc malcommode une fois rendue à la maison.
En sommes, je recommande grandement!

The falafel was fresh & flavorful! It was my 1st time there & I totally recommend it 👌
Seriously, I should of taken only the falafel because I couldn't finish the plate. They have a mini store inside, it's pretty nice & welcoming.
Falafel St Jacques is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly tasty, with every bite bursting with flavor. The falafel, freshly fried to perfectionl, is light, crunchy on the outside, & soft inside.
What makes the experience even better is Mekonen's warm & friendly welcome. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
This was the BEST most delicious sandwich EVER! We both had the Shishtaouk Trio as it was highly recommended for our first visit here. The quality of all the food & flavors were excellent! The house made fluffy pita?? So AMAZING!! The LOVE put into this plant based food speaks to the love of cruelty free living! They say at Falafel St. Jacques,'we're storytellers of spice & soul' & that sums up the joy this beautiful restaurant radiates!!! Wonderful experience! Merci beaucoup!! Peace + Love ☮? ❤?🌱 #vegan

Excellent food, very nutrious. Prices are more than fair, & of course Henok delivered an amazing servicee. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed!
Le personnel est très gentil, la bouffe excellente & les portions gigantesques. A Belle terrasse à l’extérieur je le recommande. La sauce piquante arrache! Délicieuse mais à prendre avec modération pour les non habitués.
