Jaffa — Restaurant in Região Imediata de São Paulo

I am from the US and have eaten falafel in countless places, and this was hands down one of the best I have ever eaten!! The falafel itself was perfect, excellent texture and flavor, and the sides and sauces were so tasty as well. The hummus was incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the shug, tahina, and mango sauce were so tasty. Even more impressed that it was all prepared in such a tiny little kitchen! I had such lovely conversation with the owner and one of his regulars, really such an incredible atmosphere. I will surely come back as soon as I get the chance!

Esse falafel e hummus e muito muito delicioso! Uns dos melhores eu comi. As pessoas são muito amigável também. São Paulo e muita sorte de ter um lugar tão incrível...

A true gem 💎

I got to know this restaurant thanks to two vegan friends.

All the menu is plant-based.

The falafel was crunchy from outside and still juicy from inside.

The hummus has a really silky texture and a balanced flavor. The presentation of the dishes was also wonderful, they serve in very nice ceramic dishes!

The pickled cucumbers were also crunchy and delicious.

They serve 4 different sauces - mango sauce, spicy chili sauce, tahini and a type of fresh chimichuri with cardamom, I really liked the mango and chimichuri sauce.

I am definitely going back...

This place is aptly rated 5 ⭐️. I had excellent food and great service.

I ordered the falafel dish which came with a lot of sides. Overall, the dish was full of flavors and the contrasting flavors refreshed mouth often.

The falafel was very fresh and not dry. I loved this meal (cost R$ 48.40 with service charge) and I’ll be back before I leave São Paulo. The ladies serving me also translated to tell me what the chutneys were made of (even without me asking, so I really appreciate that).

I hope their business grows and they have...
