Dr. Falafel in Van Lennepbuurt

Spicey lvl 3 was spicey . Thank you!

Whenever I'm in the area, I visit this place. Uncle Falafel never fails to deliver a great meal. Hands down the best falafel in the city and one of the greatest value for street food in Amsterdam as well

Deserves the good reviews. Great and fresh. Nothing more to say

Best falafel I’ve had in Amsterdam

The pita was absolutely delicious! Amazing falafel, and loads of it. Top-notch 🤤 The only downside is the location at the intersection. However, it did make for a great place to people-watch while you ate 😜

Best falafel pita I've ever had, and I'm vegan! (Vegans practically have to live on falafel in the wild... 🙄) I wish there were tables and chairs here to sit and relax. We'll be back! ♥️✨

10/10 falafel, super fresh and satisfying. 8eur for the whole. Will return asap

In my opinion, Dr. Falafel makes the very best falafel in the very best bun. I go there every week, and on top of that, the owner is a great guy. Highly recommended! 🤣

Always and forever the best falafel of its type in Amsterdam ⚡️

🥙 Fresh, crispy falafel with a soft pita, creamy hummus, fresh veggies, pickles, and delicious tahini sauce. Every bite is packed with flavor! 😋 I love the simple street-food style and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great for a quick, tasty, and affordable meal while exploring Amsterdam. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth trying! 10/10 ⭐️

Simply the best falafel you can get in Amsterdam. You can take it away or eat it in the sun by the waterfront. The price-quality ratio is 10/10.

A cool take away in the center of Amsterdam

Best falafel pita I've ever had. Best pita in town. Spice is optional, but it is spicy goodness from the first to the last bite.

I was riding by on my scooter when I got a whiff of this falafel spot had to make a U-turn. Yeah the gentleman was really nice. I am Middle Eastern so I have a big falafel guy and these are just a little bit different than the ones we have, but I guess that’s how it goes on Amsterdam but thank you to The Guy inside Mr. falafel for the sandwich in the extra sauce. See you soon.

Perfect! The pitas are delicious! We came twice during our 5-day stay in Amsterdam. Really very good, go for it without hesitation!

I'm pretty sure this gave me food poisoning :(

The best falafel I have eaten. The guy who makes them is really nice.

Most delicious falafel wrap I’ve had in a while! And I’m from north London where there is no shortage of falafels. Must try if you need a quick affordable bite! Yum yum

Hidden gem. Best falafel in Amsterdam

Super chill guy, very nice falafel (the pita is delicious too! Very fresh) and allround good vibes. Very affordable too, especially for Amsterdam!

The best falafel in Amsterdam, freshly made 👌 delicious, friendly owner

Love the food, come here every time I am in Amsterdam!

Best falafel I ate in Amsterdam 😍. The bread and falafel are fresh and very delicious. My kids loved it. Thanksl

The best falafel sandwich you can buy in Amsterdam. Incredible value and so tasty! The owner is also really friendly. Absolute 10/10!

I am such a fan of Dr Falafel. The sauce is masterful, the bun fantastic, and the falafel always spot on. For Leidseplein or anywhere in West, I always stop by here.

The best falafel I ever had in my life. No joke! Friendly guy and he makes mind blowing falafel. I always get the one with the spiciest sauce.

A very nice food truck where you can get delicious falafel. You have the choice of no, mild, or very spicy falafel. The buns are very soft and tasty, the sauce is good, and the falafel is very soft and flavorful. The gentleman working there was very friendly. The price is not too high. Really enjoyed this lovely place.

When celebrities reach a certain level of fame, universities around the world inevitably award them a doctorate in some niche field to mark their achievements (and encourage them to contribute to the university's endowment). But there is no doubt in my mind that Dr Falafel earned every inch of his degree. This is, without doubt, the softest pita I've ever had in my life. Supple, fresh, pliable, yet with enough strength in it to hold the saucy insides together for exactly as long as it takes you to rip your way through this vegetarian delight of a lunch or dinner option. Ignoring dutch norms, the good doctor has concoted a sauce with spice levels are enough to take your oma to an early grave. "Hot" is not recommended for anyone with even mild digestive issues. Overall - this is the best falafel I've had in Northern Europe, no questions asked. And at 8.50, it's on the more affordable of Amsterdam's lunchtime price wars

Really good sourdough falafel sandwich! Highly recommend it and the owner is really nice.

Some of the best falafel I've had in Amsterdam.

I've just had it for a quick lunch - delicious!

Very good falafel pita. However, even the mild version (green sauce) was very spicy for us. On the second day, we asked for and received a zero-spicy version. Thank you very much.

Delicious!! Too bad it isn't open more often!

I’m regularly walking from the pijp all the way here just to get some delicous falafel, would recommend!

There's one dish to choose from, and these are the best falafel I've ever eaten. The perfect snack on the go, and it makes a trip to Amsterdam absolutely perfect. Wow!

It's a roadside stall with amazing falafel in pita pocket. Totally worth it !!

SO yummy and fresh! friendly service as well. highly recommend!!

Best falafel ever! 100% vegan and homemade, a truly delicious meal. Very friendly Dr. Falafel :)

A tiny spot in the diode zone, with the best falafel ever 🙂 Crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, plus pita bread, vegetables, and tahimi sauce - GREAT!

Sourdough pita with delicious falafel! Must try after so many good reviews and it did not disappoint at all. The soft fluffy taste of both the pita and falafel balls was perfect, not too dense/heavy. For 8€ really worth for you money

This is my favourite food spot in Amsterdam. I’ve moved away to the suburbs now but I still take the long trip every now and then just to get one of Dr’s Falafels. Soft and warm bread, crisp hot falafels (always 11 pieces if I’m not wrong), fresh veggies and creamy sauce on top - and all for a very reasonable price by Amsterdam standards. I hope this place never shuts down, I would be really sad if it did!

If you're feeling a bit peckish, don't hesitate.

The best fully vegan falafel pita in all of Amsterdam. I got the spiciest option and loved it!

One of the best falafel spots I’ve ever tried. I’m originally from where falafel comes from, so I know the real taste — and this place really surprised me. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and just done right. Highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely come back whenever I’m in Amsterdam.

Dr. Falafel in Amsterdam is one of the best falafel spots in the world. Crispy, fresh, and full of flavor—an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent falafel. I don’t know whether he has a PHD in falafel, or some sort of falafel medical degree, but regardless he is a master of his craft.

The pita falafel was delicious!!!

Favourite falafel spot in Amsterdam 🥙 Soft pita, delicious falafel and flavourful sauces! The owner is lovely too! 10/10 💫

You cannot imagine how good this falafel is, made fresh in front of you in a tiny kiosk. Run, do not walk, to go eat it right now. It’s a little spicy, so be aware if that’s not your thing

Really good sandwich with freshly made falafel, he chooses the ingredients but if for him it's the best combination for me it's fine

Best falafel i tried around Amsterdam. Its quick grab and go. Really tasty and quality is really good. Worth a visit.

Incredible Falafel, thanks so much 😊

Best Falafel in Amsterdam! 20/10 I'm so happy it's open again after the winter break! My roommate just surprised me with a medium+, best time of the day! If I could, I'd come for lunch every day, but I'm trying to limit it to once a week. See you soon!!

Delicious falafel. As a bus driver, it's a real bonus that it's so close to the bus station and ready quickly.

10/10 falafel experience. You can eat by the water on a sunny day. Worth it!

The perfect comfort food! And animal-friendly (so vegan), that's what we want! Even better than Maoz. Great tahini sauce and adjustable spiciness. Always check opening hours, though, because they can be unpredictable. But that's a good thing. I hope the owner is doing well.

A well deserved title! Tasty and light Falafel! Your spicy Sauce is amazing 🙌🏼

Never had falafel that deliciously light/fluffy. Next time will go full spicy.

My GP referred me to Dr. Falafel. Completely cured, highly recommended.

This is real artisanal falafel. I've only had it this good in the Middle East. Now it's also available on Stadhouderskade.

9/10. He makes one thing and makes it delicious. Pita with falafel for €8. Not the tastiest falafel I've ever had, but it's good for Amsterdam and much better than Turkish snack bar falafel. Beware: there's a queue around noon.

As a Syrian who is used to eat good falafels This one is serving an excellent one 👌

Best falafel sandwich in Amsterdam!

Super tasty falafel and the spicy one is really hot, but enjoyable!

Solid sandwich,absolutely delicious

One of the best falafel I have ever had. Recommended!

Best in Amsterdam ! Just go and try, you will not regret it!

Their falafel sandwich is delicious! Can’t wait to go back!

We were looking for a quick place to eat lunch, hoping for a sit down place. However we came across this falafel stand at the intersection and the reviews were intriguing. So no real sitting unless you sit in the bench on the side of the stand. Let me say, they were not wrong. Excellent falafel sandwich in a fresh pita bread. Only falafel’s nothing else. This guy (owner) makes them spicy, any hot food lover would enjoy. I’m Indian and loved it. Great deal for 8 euros.

The falafel pita is simply incredible! The restaurant is fantastic, and you can feel the care taken in every detail of the preparation. A+!!

Best falafel in Amsterdam! Everything tastes homemade!

The greatest falafel pita I’ve ever had. I don’t even like falafel and I dream of these. Sometimes I convince my husband there’s nothing we could possibly make for lunch so we have to get Dr falafel. Do yourself a favor and stop by and try a spicy one, you won’t be disappointed!

Food is stellar! Only downside is on-the-street-corner part, but I guess it keeps the price down! The spicy option is just so that your mouth is a tad bit on fire without acid reflux the days after!

Yellow falafel is delicious. Be careful with spicy food. Recommended

One of the most delicious falafel sandwiches I've ever tasted. I'd go back home for it. We got 2 sandwiches for 40 riyals. The food truck is small, but clearly famous and in demand. We had made lunch reservations, and I didn't want to get full, so I decided to try it. The sandwich is made of bread, like Egyptian bread, and they ask if you want it hot or spicy. They add tahini, cucumber and tomato salad, and green dakous. The falafel is crispy, blond, and delicious.

Best falafel pita I've ever eaten!!! With the spice paste (I chose medium spicy), it was pure delight!

"The dictionary defines superlative as: of the highest kind, quality, or order, surpassing all else, or others. Supreme." I define it as the falafel sandwich made by this lovely amazing man.

My favorite on-the-go food! I stumbled upon this place 4 years ago while wandering around Amsterdam, and ever since, I’ve been hooked on their pita falafels. The falafel is freshly fried right in front of you, and the sourdough pita is something special—you don’t find that just anywhere. The veggies are super fresh, and the hummus is incredibly creamy. So, so good.

Excellent Falafel ( but no humus inside) in taste, on street food.

Everything was amazing! One of the best falafels I’ve ever had. Totally recommend🥰

Easily the best falafel sandwich!

Nice guy, very very delicious falafel. Good value for your money too, I was super full after for only €8

Hands down one of the best falafels I’ve ever had in my life!!If you’re in Amsterdam and craving falafel, don’t waste your time anywhere else just head straight here….The food is fresh and delicious, and the owner is incredibly polite and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Delicious falafel pita and not even too expensive. Great finding!

My day always gets better when I have Dr. Falafel.

Best falafel we had in Amsterdam!

Falafel is great. I’ve never been a big falafel person, but this is a place I’d go out of my way for. If you like spice, he’ll make your sandwich properly spicy for you. Simple, few options and good price.

The best proportion of ingredients in a hand-held falafel pocket.

Best falafel ever and friendly owner

Ah the best falafel by far! We arrived in Amsterdam and have been carrying around our backpacks, needed something fresh and quick and got to try Dr. Falafel and wow- yummy, spicy hot (you get to choose how spicy you like it), green leaves, sauce..honestly it made our day and we had a nice chat with him, all good energy service. Priced for 8€ for this huge meal. I’ll be back for sure and I’d highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you :)

For the first time Spicy actually was spicy. Frkn delicious

Always a pleasant choice!!!! 100% worth the wait (queue because they are Best in town!) he is the man. Eat by the canal ;)

One of the best falafel pita I’ve ever had, served with excellent sourdough pita bread and much kindness!

It was extremely nice. The portion was large and filling.

Dr. Falafel is a great spot for a quick and tasty bite in Amsterdam. The falafel is crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with flavor. You can load up your pita with fresh veggies and sauces. The owner is so friendly as well. Recommended !

The seller was very friendly and accommodating, and the falafel was the best I've ever had!

Can’t get a falafel more fresh than this.

I wish I'd take a photo of the gigantic falafel pita pocket I'd eaten but I was starving and dove in. It is hands down the best falafel I've had in my life. Service was prompt, and each sandwich costs about 8.5 Euros. The portion is massive, and the spice level is customisable. Please grab a sandwich to go if you're in the area!

The Dr. Falafel was really nice. The best falafel in the city!

Very tasty and fresh food. Spicy here means really spicy. So don’t challenge it. Simple beautiful flavours packed in a soft pillowy pit.
