Falafel Yoni earns broad praise for fresh, flavorful falafel with a crispy exterior and tender interior, generous sauces, and a pita that holds up well, with authentic Amba and a limonana that brightens every bite, and a wide range of vegetarian options. The Mile End and Atwater Market locations are described as clean, cozy spots with quick, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. Some reviews note occasional prep issues such as gloves not always worn and a few times pita, fries, or sandwiches arriving less than perfectly hot, but the overall impression is that Falafel Yoni is a must try for falafel lovers in Montreal.
I had written a 3 star review a few years back in the initial days of them opening. They have evolved into a staple with a consistent & delicious offering. It's my go to for a quick lunch when I don't want to compromise on flavor. You can taste the passion in each bite.
We tried this restaurant in the middle of the day, & it's a perfect spot for a quick bite. They offer lots of vegetarian options, which is why we chose it. The sandwiches are very juicy, but don't worry-they have a cute handwash area in the middle of the restaurant, so it's easy to clean up. The place is neat, clean, & mess-free. Overall, a great experience for a quick & satisfying meal.
Staff members are cool & welcoming

Aahh.. the Falafal Yoni.. quite an interesting name..
I stumbled upon this joint when I was vigorously searching vegetarian spot near me ... & it didn't disappoint me at all...
I was quite impressed my the portion size & quickness of the staff.. (It was not busy when I went there)
My order: falafel wrap & you will see a lot of people have posted that same falafel... so you can guess it is quite popular ordered menu here 😋... their staff recommended me the same..
Taste: good 👍.. I approve that it could become best tasting falafel wrap in Montreal...
The bread was soft, the falafel were crispy & taking & other sauces were consistent through with balanced veggies.
Portion size: really well placed with price.. I was somewhat hungry..but it really filled me well..
Ambience: I will give 7/10.. lighting could be better...
Recommendation Level: 8/10
I will recommend it to those who are looking for a cost affective way to spend on a tasty evening meal, vegetarian (the got other options as well but the falafel version is more prominent), quite place ..

Solid falafel sandwiches & bowls at a pretty affordable price. I absolutely adore falafel & other Israeli street food, so I was pretty excited to see this Montreal classic while wandering around St. Viateur! Their sandwiches & bowls are massive & packed with a generous helping of veggies & falafel, & I appreciate that they also offer a small / half-size version of their sandwich for those who want a little less food or aren't feeling as hungry. The falafel was a tiny bit drier than I'm used to, & it didn't have the most flavor on its own, but it was phenomenal with the other components of the salad. The schug is a requirement, & their fries are also tasty, but not a must-try. Great spot overall for a quick, casual lunch.
Yummy falafel pita bread sandwich. Very good quantity for the price. Loved & enjoyed every bite of it. Falafels were very perfectly cooked & it was a well balanced sandwich. Great place for vegans to try. Service was real quick & the ambience was good too. Would love to go back to have'em again.
THE place to go for a quick & tasty Falafel sandwich. I've been a fan for years of their original Wellington Str. (Verdun) outlet, but their St. Viateur branch (this photo) is great to visit too. One negative point : the last time I stopped by at St. Viateur, my pita bread was "stone cold", which made my sandwich much less appealing. A special oven to keep their bread warm was going to be purchased, they told me. Let's keep an eye on that promise!
Staff were friendly, quick, & accommodating. The food belonged in the trash though. Pita was cold & soggy Falafel was lukewarm Humus was just toss in a lump at the bottom There was an overwhelming pickle flavour that dominated the dish Fries were soggy & lukewarm Sure the portions were big, but more trash is still trash. Adjust your ingredients Do a quick fry of the pita before sending it out & flash fry your fries before you do the final fry If you are thinking about going here to eat, don't. Not worth the $20 I spent
One of my favourite places for a quick bite in the neighbourhood. The half sandwich is plenty for me & a delicious, affordable option. Falafel Yoni can get busy, so I usually order ahead to avoid the wait. Make sure you get their spicy zhug sauce!
