"This spot on St-Viateur keeps a tight menu, meaning the few items on it are done really, really well. Unsurprisingly, falafel is the main draw — crispy chickpea patties sandwiched in fluffy pitas with all the fixings — a platter is available too. Don’t sneeze at the sabich, though, a fried eggplant sandwich that holds its own alongside the titular falafels. Now also with a stall at the Atwater Market and a second location in the works for Verdun." - Joel Balsam
"A welcome addition to Mile End’s food scene, Falafel Yoni does its namesake dish justice. Order it in sandwich form, wrapped in a pita with a mountain of red cabbage and tahini, on a platter or atop a salad: there is no wrong way to eat these crispy fried chickpea balls. The sabich — a fried eggplant sandwich — is equally worth a try." - Ashley Joseph
"The newest falafel-slinger on the block takes a pared down approach to the Israeli classic. Their truncated menu keeps things simple and straightforward: take your pick from a falafel pita, falafel salad, sabich (pita stuffed with eggplant and hard boiled eggs) or hummus plate. All good choices, best accompanied by fries and a house-made lemonade." - Heather Vandenengel
"For healthy options that taste like they should be worse for you than they are, look no further than Falafel Yoni. All falafels here are fried to order, and they’re delightfully crunchy, especially when loaded with plenty of pickled veg. Don’t forget the chocolate tahini bites for a little something sweet." - Mallory Frayn
"I was worried by the hype leading up to Falafel Yoni but was wrong — it’s hands down the best falafel I’ve ever had." - Tim Forster
