At Falafel Yoni, simplicity reigns supreme—and that’s precisely the point. Founded by Israeli-born entrepreneur Yoni Amir and seasoned chef Daniel Maislin, this Mile End counter serves up some of the freshest falafel in Montreal. Here, the chickpea fritters are fried to order, resulting in crisp, golden shells and fluffy, herbaceous centres. Each bite is a love letter to Israel’s ubiquitous street food, delivered with precision.
Much like its minimalist decor by David Dworkind, the menu is unapologetically concise. The falafel sandwich, tucked into a pillowy pita, gets a vibrant lift from pickled red cabbage, creamy tahini-yogurt sauce, and finely diced Israeli salad. There’s also the sabich—a messily delicious combo of fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, and hummus. Even their dessert, chocolate tahini balls, keeps it simple yet satisfying.
