About Dr. Falafel

Dr. Falafel is a casual falafel restaurant on Selanik Caddesi in Kızılay, built around chickpea-based Middle Eastern street food. Its website introduces falafel as one of the essentials of Middle Eastern cooking: a vegetable patty made from crushed chickpeas blended with spices and then fried. The menu revolves around that patty in different forms. There are falafel wraps (dürüm), including a mixed grill version and a spicy house special roll, and a falafel burger set served with chips and a drink, which the restaurant promotes as an affordable, filling option. Hummus, including a large jumbo portion, chips and pickles round out the list, and the restaurant's online menu marks many items as vegan. Food guide Nefis Yemek Tarifleri lists it among Kızılay's popular places to eat for its vegan menu and its vegetable and pulse dishes. Orders can be placed by phone on +90 312 419 17 57 or through the online ordering link on the restaurant's website. It is on Selanik Caddesi in the Meşrutiyet neighbourhood, a short walk from Kızılay Square, which makes it a handy quick lunch for vegetarians and vegans exploring the city centre.
