Falafel — Restaurant in Grasse

We discovered this Lebanese gem after a disappointing experience at a neighboring restaurant—and we couldn’t help but notice the long line of people waiting here each time we passed by. The food smelled amazing, the buzz was constant, and our curiosity finally got the best of us. We came back another day to try it for ourselves—and we’re so glad we did.

This is a fast-casual spot, not fine dining, but the food and the staff are absolutely top-notch. Here’s how it works: even though you’ll see plenty of tables outside, don’t grab a seat just yet. You first order inside at the counter, where the staff is friendly and helpful. Once you get your order number, one of the amazing women managing the tables will help you get seated. She was incredibly efficient and kind every single time we visited—somehow managing the flow of guests like a pro. Just trust her and she’ll get you a spot right on time before your food arrives.

We ate here multiple times and kept coming back for more. The kefta was delicious and juicy, the chicken was tender and flavorful, the labneh was tangy and fresh, and the salad crisp and well-seasoned. Everything was perfectly cooked and generously portioned. One highlight you must try is the dessert that looks like a milky pudding topped with pistachios—it’s delicately flavored with orange blossom water and absolutely divine.

Because the restaurant is so popular, they do ask that once you’re done eating, you free up the table for the next group. No one rushes you while you eat, but it’s a fair and respectful way to keep things moving for everyone.

The team here—from the cashier to the servers—is truly kind and professional. The energy is warm and welcoming, and the food is hearty, soulful, and incredibly satisfying. Highly,...

I al trying to review this place since we discovered it because we keep going, now we are even taking friends,as that's how much we love it. First of all the service is compared to Michelin starred restaurants honestly, I have never seen so much availability, so many smiles, so much customer orientation like I see in the young lady who always serves us and the young man who always takes our order. We are your biggest fans, guys! Keep up this amazing work you do! And thank you so much! Now the food...oh the food...absolutely spectacular, not at all what you would expect when you first arrive and have to do the queue. Which is totally worth it! The falafel is the star of the place, I never eaten something this fragrant, with such a beautiful texture and perfectly warm. We love them!! The shawarma is amazing (the chicken is brought from Italy, so that's why 🤎), the fries so, so good and the garlic sauce absolutely heaven 😊. I can still go on, but I will stop. The best place with Lebanese food, I totally recommend it!...

The food was not bad, but the service of this place is abysmal. We waited over an hour for two shawarma’s in the pouring rain, including 45 minutes just to order. One man was working the cash register, orders, cleaning up the tables, and bringing food out all at once while two others sat in the kitchen and only cooked half the time. The man taking the orders was not very friendly and would ignore questions. Would not return.

EDIT in response to the owners reply: If you actually read my reply, you would see that I said waited for an hour, INCLUDING the 45 minutes it took to be able to place my order, so it was still about an hour in total. I was emphasizing the inefficiency of the restaurant, because in what world would an order queue with 8 people in front of you take 45 minutes? It is a bad look to call customers dishonest when you fail to even read...
