L'As du Fallafel
34 Rue des Rosiers
Marais
This is the famed L'As du Fallafel, made all the more famous because it's the favorite fallafel place of Lenny Kravitz. Known for being one of the best cheap meals in Paris, there's a walk-up window where you may place your order, pick it up, and proceed down the rue des Rosiers while eating your fallafel. Because this is a Jewish establishment, this place is closes 6pm Friday, but reopens 6pm Saturday. The best thing is that you'll find it open on Sundays!
When I popped by last November they were inexplicably closed with the façade of the restaurant side washed (and mere months after my photo made it into the article below). I read a blog of someone who lives in Paris who said sometimes it closes with no explanation. Hopefully, it's still up & running when I return!
If it's closed when you visit, you might want to try %Lhttp://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tp/1b9dbe/]Chez Hanna%L8 just down the street to the west.
New York Magazine contacted me 3/20/07 to use this photo for their website - said it was the best photo they'd found on the web! They selected it to use for their 5-Point Weekend Escape Plan - Paris stories entitled:

But if you're going just for the fallafel, l'As du Fallafel is probably as good as it gets.
Bad luck this year it was closed --------->
on my Marais day, ( real smart going to Marais on Saturday ...doh! )
but in the past I've probably had the best shawarma & falafel sandwiches in my life here.
Falafel is great but imho the shawarma is to die for
(the floor is littered with happy shawarma-filled bodies).
Also very affordable, qualifies as Paris cheap eats Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: 34 rue des RosiersPhone: 01-48-87-63-60Directions: In the heart of le Marais (4th arrondissement).

This really is the best that I have eaten and that includes falafel in Israel. I haven't tried the schwarma. There is always a long line on Sundays. Leave a Comment

Small hole-in-the wall restaurant with a to-go window. The line is long here for take out. There's seating for about 30 people and the place is always packed!
My friend Louisa and I were in Paris May 2006 and for dinner one night we went to L’As du Fallafel. We both ordered their Fallafel Special (6.50€): A large pita bread over stuffed with fallafel, hummus, grilled eggplant, cabbage, radish, tomato, cucumber. On the table was hot sauce, which we added to our sandwich. This was quite filling and so delicious! The hummus was the best I have ever tasted! We shared a small bottle of red wine. Total 15.50€ per person. We had a nice list of restaurants to choose from for our time in Paris and we both wish we had returned here for dinner (or lunch) on another day. This is a place I highly recommend and I can't wait to return to Paris to enjoy another Special!

as much as we had heard about the place, it did not disappoint us. It was worth a trip to this Jewish quarter. The food was great and would definitely return. There are couple of Falafel places near this one, so beware and do not step in to the wrong one.

This restaurant has morphed from a quiet shop selling excellent falafel to an exuberant New York-style diner. There are some cramped cafeteria tables inside -- where the service is remarkably decorous considering the din, and the walls are plastered with photos of famous patron Lenny Kravitz. Don't go on Saturday -- it's closed, as are most businesses in the quarter.
The special comes with extras of sautéed aubergine and a dollop of houmous.

Such great memories at "Lenny Kravitz Falafel" In 1997 when i lived in Paris ( and worked at a nearby restaurant, my friends and i would often stop at this one of a kind, falafel shop for fast, delicious food. Made famous as one of Lenny Kravitz's favorite places in Paris, my friends had it at LEAST once a week. Reading the other reviews, I am thrilled to see this place is still around, and still high quality. If you are vegetarian, (or even if you're not) and in Paris, this is a must-go location.
Tha Falafel of course! The perfect mix of fresh veggies, savory falafel, and spices sauce, at a great price!

What a nice surprise of a restaurant - actually they are part sit down and part fast-food take away. The service is brisk and friendly. The food was excellent. I had a chicken schnitzel and my husband enjoyed a fallafel sandwich. We were impressed by the large and dedicated following they seemed to have. As we exited, there was a crowd waiting in line at the take away window. It was a most delicious eating/cultural experience and we are glad we took the chance. The restaurant is located in the heart of the Marais district (4th arrondissement) of Paris, on rue des Rosiers. The street offers a lively assortment of Jewish shops and eateries.
Poulet schnitzel was very good. Offered with salad, french fries, slaw and hummus. Leave a Comment Theme: Kosher/HalalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 34 rue des RosiersPhone: 01.48.87.63.60Directions: In the heart of le Marais (4th arrondissement). M? St Paul
