Falafel Tlv - hong-kong

The owner is very accommodating and willing to change vegetarian to vegan. I went with friends who eat non- vegetarian but he was happy to give meat separately.

I can confirm that the falafel and hummus at this restaurant are truly the best in Hong Kong. I recently tried their pita sandwich and it was amazing.

Its not any place for a date or impressive or stylish scene. Not anything fancy when it comes to restaurants. In fact it is quite basic. Plastic chairs, small 2 seater tables, cramped area. Much of the presentation (cutlery and toothpicks exposed on each table for everyone's hands to pick, messy, small, dark kitchen, wires and aircons exposed and not neat leaves a doubt to its hygiene (this is a restaurant and rightfully charges restaurant pricing they should ensure a spotless area, decent music, no doubt to the hygiene, visible kitchen, tidy and with clean and modern equipment and impeccable staff service. . Every song played on the music system was vulgar and full of swearing and body parts. I had the set menu which included a pita that was smaller than any I have had in Israel, falafel balls were not bad at all, no salad filling selection as there would be in israel there is a set standard salad fill by the cook. The hummus was good. I got a can of drink given (not that I like a glass but this is what is expected in any class of restaurant this is not a takeout . Tehina came in a bottle but was way too diluted. The dessert was given to me having specified that I am vegan and this being acknowledged by the waitress, the dessert was dairy and just happy I questioned this. This restaurant is certainly not vegan and should never be marketed as such. The fact that falafel is a vegan meal does not mean anything. There is chicken on the menu. 118hkd is expensive for the meal (this is 60khd in tel aviv where i can even taste a falafel ball to see if its nice for free and get nearly bottomless salads of my choice in bigger pitas however knowing HK the prices here are in this region. I agree with saying it is higher than it should be though. I really do appreciate the fact that they have this as an option here because Falafel is probably the food I miss most from living in Israel. I do however, believe I could do better myself but since I don't care to deal with dissatisfied customers like myself, I wont try and I do thank them for being here and serving what they do. Rate them 2 stars for location, food taste and that they serve my favorite food.

I typically visit this restaurant for pita, falafel, and/or hummus with chips (I request them without salt), and the quality has always been reliable. The staff ensures that all of the items mentioned are vegan-friendly.

In contrast to the enthusiastic review by the owner, Shmulik, I have some differing opinions about this restaurant. Firstly, despite initially being classified as a vegan/vegetarian establishment on Facebook, they soon began offering animal flesh on the menu, which I find misleading and untrustworthy. Additionally, the prices are high for the portions provided, and the food, although I typically enjoy falafel and hummus, was unremarkable. Furthermore, the food is not locally sourced, resulting in a high carbon footprint. Overall, there are better dining options nearby. Despite the owner's response to my review, I stand by my statements. The claim of being vegetarian/vegan while serving chicken is misleading, and the food is overpriced and lacks flavor. The owner's attempt to distance themselves from the management of the restaurant in their review is deceptive.
