Edmonton’s best falafel joints

Falafel balls are a traditional Middle Eastern dish made of ground chickpeas or fava beans, or sometimes both. They’re deep fried to give it that crispy crunch. They’re sometimes served as a meal with salad, rice and other sides or in a pita with tahini sauce for a sandwich.

Best Donair

15043 Stony Plain Rd NW, Edmonton, AB T5P 4W1

Watch them prepare the falafel on the spot. This isn’t a frozen, mass-produced falafel. You’ll love it. In a joint known (obviously) for their donairs, it’s nice to know they can make other great food!

Parkallen Restaurant

Chateau Beirut

6
10185 107 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 1J5

As the name suggests, this restaurant serves up some simple but tasty Middle Eastern food. The falafels are hot, crunchy and fried to perfection. Yum. Order it with a side of tzatziki and you’re in heaven.

High Voltage Food & Coffee Bar

7
10387 63 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6H 1P2

The popular Middle-Eastern dish prepared with a twist: a tzatziki and jerk sauce twist, that is. It’s so unique but the jerk sauce gives it that extra je ne sais quoi that will make you come back over and over again.
