Everything was very fresh and delicious, and the staff were especially friendly. We enjoyed the best falafel and lemonade ever : And we left feeling very full!

A great vegetarian spot in Lyon for a quick bite: Yaafa The falafels are delicious, the pitas are generously filled and bursting with flavor. The set menus are reasonably priced, making it a convenient and tasty option for a quick break. A minor issue with the counter service, which was a bit confusing during our visit: they made a mistake with one of our pitas and inadvertently charged us a bit more. But despite that, the most important thing is that it's really delicious! I'll definitely be back

Fantastic falafel. Air-conditioned and quiet floor. At least two vegan options. Thank you so much!

The Grec is AMAZING. Trust Karim and his recs. Even on my indecisiveness with the sauces for the potatoes, he came in sure on mango curry because it goes perfectly with the (unique fries. The falafel is fresh and fried to order and the atmosphere is welcoming and spacious. I had some falafel in nearby old town and hated it. At Yaafa, they know what they're doing. Honestly, favorite falafel in town. (Sorry about the sloppy pics. That's all my fault. I took them after I dug in. I couldn't resist. .

I didn't think I'd leave a negative opinion, but there's a start to everything. We ate Saturday noon at 4 at Yaafa street of Algeria and terribly down...

Quality has become random! With a little luck it can be good, but I regret my last visits!

Worst falafel ever, the pita sandwich is not well done, the ingredients are separated, at first you are only eating falafels without any other taste, and in the end you are only eating salad in a soaked pita. The side dish com3 with fried pita to dip in it, and I almost lost a tooth while biting on it. Very disappointing.

Wishing to finally taste the famous Yaafa falafels and not being from the neighborhood, I took a Y menu hungry to take away with a Greek pita falafel and spicy potatoes. I did not check my order when they gave it to me and I found myself without any sandwich/pita and with two spicy potatoes too cooked that is more. I realized of course once I arrived at my house, so it was too late to return. Disappointed not having been able to taste the falafels and frustrated having paid close to 10 € for potatoes and a drink...A retester may be but this time I will check the contents of my order to take away

For 11 euro, I believe you get a sandwich, a drink, and then pita chips hummus/babaganoush. So first off, a very affordable meal (it is counter service). Second, vegan options are well-labeled, and the staff are happy to explain their menu. My food came out quick, and given I am a fan of vegan meat, I opted for the Tcha-cha-cha sandwich with vegan shawarma. Boy it was delicious! A little heavy on the raw red onion, but the shawarma and sauce and everything was delicious that I came back the next day for the same thing! The pita chips that came with my hummus side were…weird and not good. Felt like they had been in the fryer way too long. But they did the job to help me scoop the yummy hummus into my mouth. Drink was good too. Overall a great experience, and I really appreciated being able to choose between falafel and a vegan meat option.

They have a few vegan falafel pita or bowl options. There’s a menu option, which includes a pita or bowl, a side and a free refill drink. You can choose hummus with pita chips as a side, which was really good and a very big portion.

Staff lovely. Meal was fine, nothing special. It felt a little flavourless but still a decent vegan meal in a non vegan friendly town. Curry chips were divine.

Initial review : I went there on a public holiday because not many places were open in Lyon that day. It was ok. Falafels were pretty bland and the whole pita was not very tasteful. Everything tasted the same. I also had the fries with curry, a bit too salty. This time I tried L 'original combination as a salad, it was better than my first time, the veggies were very good, though the falafel are still bland to my taste.

You have a few vegan falafel pita or bowl options. There is a menu option that includes a pita or bowl, a page and a free refill drink. You can choose hummus with Pita chips as a page that was really good and a very large part.

I ate in Lyon Confluence and have a box of salad, falafel and humos. It was fresh and tasteful. You have vegan choices, but you just have to ask. The service was friendly and the service top notch. If you like the Rolling Stones, you can be very happy enough to hear it in the background. The owner is like me a big fan.

Yaafa seems to be a very popular place in Lyon city centre. They are vegetarian, with vegan options being labelled. I had the original falafel pita, which was good. They could maybe have some more vegan options.
