Best Falafel Restaurant South Bend Near Me

Chloe Barker: 10/10! My husband and I really enjoyed the food, they offer larger vegan and vegetarian options than most places we’ve been to, as well as meat options too! The food is inexpensive and everything was delicious! We split an appetizer and he got the pitza while I got the falafel roll. We couldn’t even eat everything and left feeling comfortably full. The atmosphere was quiet, even though there was a larger group near us. We had an excellent time there.I would absolutely recommend this place. They also had tasty-looking desserts, but we were too full to try any. Next time!

Molly Archer: Not bad, but not the best. With limited Mediterranean options in the area though, this place works when you want this particular type of food.

Sandra Brook: Literally my favorite restaurant. 🖤 I won't get falafel or baba ganoush anywhere else.Vegetarian options: Almost everything I get is vegetarian or vegan; baba ganoush, hummus, rolls, salads, ✨falafel 🥙 rice dishes, etc. It's all so delicious and I feel really good afterwards.Kid-friendliness: They are so kind, clean, and understanding. I don't feel guilty bringing my 4 kids here.

Stephanie Rucano: They forgot to fill my order with pita that was suppose to come with it. I called and they took my husbands name to pick up in his way home. When he got there they refused to give him the pita that was suppose to be in the bag initially. She said he didn’t have the receipt and that previous shift manager never told her. So then I went back a 3rd time and she was extremely rude. I then asked for full refund. She never offered to call previous shift manager and after she refunded my order asked me if I wanted to take what I ordered with pita. NOOOOO! I understand that it’s hard to get people to work, but the attitudes of some that do work isn’t worth their sense of entitlement!!!!

Nicole M.: I love their new labeling for gluten free and vegan. The food is always deliciousDietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free marked well

Amber Whitney: The food quality here is lacking significantly. Which is a shame because I’ve eaten here before and it was really good. The roll-up we received (delivered thru dine in delivery) was a half doughy mess that fell apart almost immediately. There were 2-3 pieces of meat in the roll up. Apparently, that’s ok with Aladdin’s because dine in called on our behalf and management scoffed at remaking our food. Buyer beware also the baba ganoush only comes with one piece of bread to split 4 ways between you and other people. There was also an issue with one of our Pitzas, the dough didn’t have the right texture either. I Wouldn’t eat here again if you paid me to.

Sarah Hughes: THE best!!! We love Aladdin's! All the food! Anything you order is guaranteed to be delicious. The prices are good, atmosphere is great! Service is always good!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible. Husband uses a wheelchair and no issues

William Berdine: Mediterranean chain. Solid food. I got the Beef Shawarma Pitza , hummus, and loubie bzeit. Really like the pitza and loubie . The hummus was a bit thin for me. Pita were fresh. Atmosphere is very 90s Dennys which i found odd. Probably will be a carryout place for me.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Carlos Arguello: Not real "mediterranean" flavor. The shawarma taste was bland. The waiting time was EXTREMELY slow, even though they were serving only six tables. Don't recommend. If you are familiarized with Lebanese cuisine THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. I think it's just a hype.

Anastasiia Tretiak: Loved it here! The food is really good and I enjoyed conversing with the lovely owner. Highly recommend!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Em Horvath: Found this place searching for a lunch spot as we were stopping from out of town to see a show. My mom and I have been vegetarian for years, and we both loved being able to consider an entire menu rather than picking through for the stuff without meat (although it made it harder for us to choose!). An amazing assortment of meals with so many veggies and lots of non-meat protein. I got the sautéed tofu and veggies and loved it, huge portions and came out quick. A great little hole in the wall place. I feel like my food was a little on the unsalted side, and they only serve brown rice but those are the only things I would keep in mind about coming here, and are certainly not an issue. Definitely check this place if you are vegetarian/vegan, and try it even if you’re not!

Chloe Barker: so happy to have an all vegan restaurant in town! I would like to try more on the menu, there are so many options! The miso soup was not my fav, but the pumpkin soup and general tso’s were amazing!

Terence McKenna: Can't say enough.. if you are vegan or even if you are not, you will find this restaurant as a holy place.Dietary restrictions: Everything is vegan!

Les Dabney: Kimchi, vegetable moo shoo, mushroomsAbsolutely delicious.

Kayla Kranc: I never dined in before. suggestion, for noodles, please use containers with holes in them. when i received pad thai and japchae, they were all stuck together from heat. looks over cooked. korean food, bibimbop and japchae does not taste like korean food at all.

Marcie Shields: One star is generous! I spent $48 on my first (and only!) take-out order from Pinellia and, after a few bites, ended up throwing everything--except for the spring rolls and vegetable dumplings--in the trash. Disgusting! The Moo Shu Vegetable was watery, soggy and filled with disintegrating, overcooked cabbage. The sesame noodles had no flavor. We tried adding soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, but nothing helped. While waiting for our order, I took a glance around. The place looked like a cyclone had hit it and it was not clean.

Britney Slaven: AMAZING restaurant!! Food and service were fantastic! Definitely coming back if I’m ever around south bend again. The world needs more of places like this!!!

Caitlynb: This place is PHENOMENAL! The food is amazing, the service is wonderful, and they are willing to work around allergies as well. Walked in without much of an expectation and was completely blown away by how excellent everything was. Try this place! You won't be disappointed

Michael Babienco: Just finished a meal here. Phenomenal vegan food. The menu had many good looking suggestions. I had the veggies and soy protein in garlic sauce with miso soup on the side. Fantastic taste. Also wonderful service who was very kind to make sure my wife with allergies was taken care of. Thank you!!

Arthur Lim: Nice place for lunch. They have limited hours. Options are tasty and healthy.

J. hathaway: This place is normally very good, except when you order a salad with chicken and don't get the chicken.

Trevor Sperring: Really good food, bit of a wait but that was because it was so popular. Bit pricey

Miss Donna: Always closed

Raquella Dunker: My husband loved the menu selection. Enjoyed the combination of flavors and spices. Was like nothing I have ever had before. Also, the food presentation was beautiful. Feel fortunate to have found this place during a weekend trip to South Bend.

Carl Dunker: My wife and I were in town and this place blew our already high expectations out of the water.The empanadas were like none I’ve had before, with totally unexpected yet perfect sauces to complement them. My hot chicken sandwich had layers of different spice flavors, not just a one-dimensional heat. And my wife’s Baharat Chicken had so many flavor dimensions.We hope folks in South Bend recognize what this place is doing!

Sarah Shafer: Incredible service and food. Such a great spot, but unfortunately they'll be closing next month. Definitely try to check it out before it's gone!

alfred woods: My wife and daughter came ate here about 2 weeks ago and the food/ service is phenomenal. I had the hot chicken sandwich and it wasn’t the hottest but it definitely packs a punch but luckily our server Rob is a beast on the drinks(alcoholic). Great place to dine at!!

Elaine Shafer: If you haven't treated yourself to Bantam, don't miss the chance to go--the chef is a true culinary artist! In both taste and appearance of each dish, there is so much attention to detail. We went 8/6/22 and Robert (? name) was an excellent server who made the experience even better. Our cocktails were delicious! We have tried many dishes at Bantam, and have never been disappointed. Last night I had the Barramundi, which is a fish I had never tried before. The fish was cooked perfectly and the glaze, rice, and vegetables blended beautifully with it. My husband and daughter loved their Fried Chicken Dinner (big portions, he even took a leg home!) and Rieff sandwich. We also tried the Sticky Califlower and potato empanadas, which were great. And then there was the dessert--you have to try whatever they are offering because, again, the details...an absolute treat!My first review:We went here for the first time for my birthday and all 6 in our party were very happy with our food and drinks! My favorite was the coconut shrimp, but we had a wide variety of items from the menu and they were all delicious. Make sure to try the empanadas! Our server was friendly and helpful, as well. We will definitely be back!

Megan Stevens: Everyone needs to experience Bantam. Menu changes regularly which keeps things fun and exciting. Everything I’ve had from here has been the best thing I’ve ever had.

Jake Livingston: This place is great!The service was excellent, the beer selection was awesome, and the food was super yummy.If I had one gripe, it would be that I ordered the xxx-hot chicken sandwich and wasn’t even remotely hot. Like wouldn’t even hit the mild level at most hot chicken places. I suspect that was a fluke and I’m excited to try again to see if I can get one that’s actually hot. Regardless, my surprisingly mild chicken sandwich was delicious and I would absolutely get it again.If you’re looking for a properly Hot chicken sandwich, maybe look the server in the eye and say “tell them to make me regret this decision” or something along those lines haha.

Mariana Schnell: The food at this place is top notch! Chicken and biscuits are fantastic. I had the fish as I did not want carbs and it was delicious. We finished our meal with their strawberry ice cream. We will be back.

Alexander Summers Effler: Fantastic food, attentive waitstaff, overall great experience

Alexa Bradley: Have been here for dinner a couple times and have absolutely loved my experience and the food. It has delicious appetizer and dinner options (including vegetarian entrees) as well as unique cocktails. Our waiter, Robert, was very attentive, kind, and even made us special dessert cocktails.Can't wait to go back to Bantam next time I am in South Bend!

Janie Hegedus: Finally got a chance to go to Bantam for the first time. The whole experience was over the top. Great food and great service. We will definitely be going back.

Sean Summers: Incredible portions and great food, as always!

Elizabeth Hill: Wonderful food and excellent service.

Robert Conner: This place is amazing and I absolutely love each and every visit. Bantam thinks outside box, and has the best fried chicken which pairs exceptionally well with the crab hushuppies which covered in a lemon herb sauce. The staff here is amazing they help to accommodate a variety of dietary needs including gluten free. Servers are quite friendly even though overworked seem to go above and beyond make everything perfect. Drinks are well made and tasty especially for the price, tonight I had a peanut butter smores martini where the bartender actually came out and lit my marshmallows on fire, tasted just like I was sitting at a campfire which was perfect for after dinner desert. This place is a must visit, get out the norm and try something exquisite. I will definitely be returning again and again.

Davids Hands: I have to say the service was poor. More than once we literally left our table to look for a server.The menu options we certainly not "common". "Odd" might be a better description.I won't say "never again" but I can't think of a reason to return.

Molly Abraham: Donte (cook/owner) is a FOOD GENIUS. I have never been disappointed and everything I have ever ordered is well worth the value and is a healthy portion. The food is absolutely incredible. The entrees are unique and change frequently. The cocktails are fantastic and are high quality. The mixology is very impressive and the liquors are good quality.I have seen some reviews that say they are “overpriced” or have “small portions”. Some people don’t understand there’s a price for quality. Everything is INCREDIBLY reasonable for what it is and if prices went up I would still be willing to eat here. For the quality, the prices are incredible. Those of you who think it is undersized or overpriced, I invite you to McDonalds for a couple Big Macs. Large portions and cheap prices, you’re welcome.

Cory Murphy: Sure the chicken is good but the service was unbelievably bad. After 30 mins of waiting to order, I'm told they are out of empanadas. I place another order. "We're out of that." I find a beer I want. "We don't have that anymore." I select a new beer. "That tap just ran out." My third choice came back to me like this:

Cassandra White: The staff members are very nice, establish was very clean and maintained. It was the food for me that need improvement.
