M. Sahyoun Falafel

The falafel sandwich at Mr. Sahyoun is simply exceptional! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside, and wrapped with the freshest ingredients. Truly one of the tastiest falafels I’ve ever had, a must-try in Beirut! The staff are also very nice and welcoming.

It was impressive to see the personality of the honest owner. I realised that's why they're so popular and why people keep coming back to this falafel-centric place. Even with the crazy inflation in Lebanon, they seem to manage to keep the price as reasonable as possible. # Beirut # Lebanon

I think this is like a Mecca stop whenever someone visits Lebanon Beirut because this is a must visit shop to try the Falafel. For me this is probably the shop that I have ever tried the best falafel the first bite you get a hot one it is hot, crispy and so flavourful and soft on the inside. Don't scrimp if you can just order the big one which is the sandwich extra it will leave you very satisfied. Hang around for a while to catch the falafel frying process and the making of the sandwich. Was honoured to have the famous owner doing hands on wrapping the sandwich and see how fast his hands are. Even singer Bryan Adams visited this place and enjoyed the falafel. Its a great combination on the fresh vegetables and the sauces used that till now makes my impression of the sandwich so memorable. Don't be mistaken cause there are 2 shops side by side selling the same thing. You know you are eating from the right shop when you feel so satisfied and happy.

My visit was back in 2018 and this was a nice place with lovely falafels. Staff and service was 5/5

One of the two Sahyoun brothers and Beirut’s most popular falafel shops, his falafel is always fresh and crunchy, sandwiches are small so most probably you need two if you’re hungry. Prices are really good. Highly recommended.
