The King of Falafel is a casual Moroccan and Lebanese eatery on Hunter Street in Bloomsbury. Its compact dining space and outdoor seating make it a convenient stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner near Russell Square and the surrounding university buildings. The service is geared toward freshly assembled food that can be enjoyed at the cafe or taken away, with wraps providing the clearest expression of the menu.
Falafel is the signature choice and can be ordered in either a Moroccan wrap or a Lebanese wrap. The crisp falafel is matched with salad, pickles, hummus and sauces to create a filling meal with freshness, acidity and gentle spice. Roasted vegetables provide another meat free filling, so vegetarian diners are not limited to a single option when choosing between the two wrap styles.
Meat fillings broaden the selection through lamb kebab, chicken kebab, lamb kofta and chicken shawarma. Each can be paired with the Moroccan or Lebanese wrap format, making it easy to choose the flavour and portion style that suits the visit. Warm grilled meat, fresh vegetables and well seasoned sauces give these wraps enough substance for lunch while keeping them practical for diners heading back across Bloomsbury.
Chicken, lamb and vegetable samosas are available as simple side dishes, adding a crisp savoury bite alongside a wrap. The focused menu and quick service suit solo diners, students, office workers and visitors who want an affordable meal without a lengthy wait. Although falafel gives the restaurant its name, the combination of vegetarian fillings, kebabs, kofta and shawarma ensures there is useful variety within its concise offering.
