Falafel Yoni is widely praised for its falafel pita sandwiches in Montreal's Mile End, which are fresh and satisfyingly crisp on the outside and soft inside, loaded with flavorful sauces and plenty of veggies; portions are generous, with many noting that the fries and other sides such as zaatar fries hit the spot, and the menu also features hummus, sabich and schnitzel for variety, with the place described as vegetarian and vegan friendly and reasonably priced for the quality; the atmosphere is warm, casual, and efficient, and service is typically quick with friendly staff that contribute to a welcoming vibe; occasional critiques mention that a few pitas arrive cold or falafels can be a touch dry, that cleanliness or value may vary, and a small number of dishes may not meet every expectation; all in all, Falafel Yoni is seen as a standout option in Montreal for a casual, satisfying falafel experience and a reliable go to for fans of Israeli street food.
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
I really enjoy their falafel. It taste like home. The falafel is a Middle Eastern & their sandwiches & fries are mind blowing. It's one of my favorite spots when I visit Montreal.

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.
Came with our neighbours, whom never eaten at Yoni's. We were very disappointed to have our sandwiches cold! I have never ate a cold falafel or Sabich. Never.
The menu itself is one that reminds me of my time in Israel. However, upon asking for the sabich eggplants & falafel balls to be warm, I was told sternly that they are served cold at falafel Yoni, however they would make an exception to reheat them this time. I just want to clarify that these sandwiches are traditionally served warm, & I've received them this way the previous times I've been here. Unfortunately, the cold attitude of the woman making the sandwiches was not appreciated & made me feel unwelcomed even though good money was spent eating here. I hope next time will be a more positive experience, & that these issues will be addressed as I was not the only one speaking of a cold sandwich. Update: The manager reached out & remedied my concerns. Thank You Daniel!
Fresh & delicious falafel sandwiches, great consistency from one visit to the next. Also they do a great job of branding. Yoni's is always a good idea.
Absolutely delicious sandwiches! Generous amount of toppings in the pita, & the falafel was fantastic. Their spicy sauce is amazing & adds a great kick.
Sandwiches are ice cold, which is bizarre. Taste-wise: it's missing something, inauthentic. Service is... awkward. Feels like you're bothering them. This place is *big* alright.

As a middle eastern person who grew up back in the middle east, I have extremely high standards for middle eastern food. These is by far some of the most well made sandwiches I've had in my entire life. Try the falafel & the eggplant sandwich as well.
