Reviews describe Falafel Yoni as consistently fresh and flavorful, with crispy outside and soft inside falafel, creamy hummus, and generously filled pitas that many call the best falafel in Montreal, along with delicious sabich and a strong homemade feel from a simple, well priced menu. Many note a warm, efficient service and a friendly, welcoming vibe, with dine in and takeout both praised for reliability and good portions. Some items receive mixed feedback, such as zaatar fries that don’t always impress, pita that can be cold or not warm enough, and occasional wait times; there are also hygiene caveats mentioned at one location regarding gloves and hair, and a note about the restaurant adding meat options that divided vegetarians, though meatless choices remain highly regarded. Overall the reviews converge on high quality, generous servings, fresh ingredients, and a memorable experience that keeps customers returning and recommending Falafel Yoni for a reliable, satisfying falafel fix.
Try this. It's amazingly! Enjoy the taste of real middle eastern sandwich. Especially Falafel. Thanks Nick for everything. & for the special Pita bread.
It had been a while since I last visited this spot, my last time was in Mile End, & I remembered loving their pitas. But on this hot summer day, my friend & I were craving something lighter, so we went for a salad… & let me tell you, it did not disappoint.
The portion was huge, definitely one to share. Shout-out to the employee who recommended we split it, because we were about to order one each! The veggies were incredibly fresh, the falafels perfectly crisp, & the sauce? To die for.
The whole team was super friendly & welcoming. Special shout-out to Nathan (aka Nate) who had such a great vibe, filled our water bottles, & gave us amazing service.
I'll absolutely be coming back, for both that salad & the good energy!
I love stopping by this place on the way home from work. The food menu is super simple but down well. Staff is always friendly & they have surprisingly good music. The spicy fallafel is spicy while not being overwhelming spicy & the drink selection has both soda & no sugary options.
Sandwich trop acide ! & froid , le mélange de légumes & la sauce rendent très acide le tout & masque le goût des falafels , qui sont en soit très bons !
Un gros pita falafel 🥙 (12$) des frites en quantité (5,75$), c'était goûteux & de qualité, parfait pour le lunch du midi. Menu simple. Bon service rapide & efficace du personnel. J'ai aimé qu'il y ait un petit lavabo à disposition pour se laver les mains après avoir mangé. Petit bémol à mentionner, la musique était vraiment très forte lors de notre visite & on avait de la misère à se comprendre. Sinon, un bon spot à Verdun!

The food is good.
But, the service is very poor.
Placed an order at 6:30. Waited 50 minutes for my food. Almost cancelled my order.
It's summer.. Wellington Street is closed. They need to hire more staff..
It's not common to find a restaurant that specializes in Falafel, it's typically the veg option at your typical shawarma spot, where it doesn't always get the loving preparation that it does here at Falafel Yoni. It is a focused menu with only two sandwich types, I went for the traditional falafel sandwich that they built their name on. This sandwich was so fresh, delicious & satisfying. The vege topping portion is great, makes it a lot leaner than most sandwich restaurants & you can taste the lack of grease. Price point is medium-high. Seating is interestingly arranged on both sides of the entrance. Service here was not poor by any means, but due to the size of the shop I was overhearing the employees banter throughout my meal which detracted from the atmosphere a bit. Highly enjoyable falafel sandwich.
Nous avons passé un excellent moment en dégustant leurs sandwichs au falafel. Ils sont généreusement garnis, bien équilibrés & surtout pas du tout secs. Les falafels sont savoureux, croustillants à l'extérieur & moelleux à l'intérieur. Les légumes sont frais, croquants, & apportent beaucoup de fraîcheur au tout. Une belle surprise, tant pour la qualité que pour la quantité ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
