Crispy on the outside, tender and flavourful within—falafel is a beloved staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, and Commercial Drive is home to one of the city’s finest versions.

Best Falafel lives up to its name, serving freshly fried chickpea balls tucked into warm pita with crisp vegetables, tangy pickles, and a generous drizzle of tahini or house-made garlic sauce.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or a satisfying vegetarian dinner, this spot delivers bold flavours and fast, friendly service.

It’s a perfect example of how the Drive’s food scene excels at doing simple things exceptionally well.
