About Falafel King
Falafel King works from a counter on Glossop Rd in Sheffield, turning out falafel wraps to order for walk-in customers only. Wraps come in small and large sizes, and the fillings stretch from spicy potato to halloumi and tandoori chicken, with salad and pink turnip slices packed in alongside a sauce of your choosing, tahini among them. The team will suggest a sauce or filling if you are unsure. Payment is cash only, so there is no card option at the till. A few small tables sit indoors and a couple more outside for anyone who wants to eat their wrap in the open air, though plenty of orders leave the shop to be eaten elsewhere. It opens daily, and a queue can form at busier moments.

Customer Review Summary
Falafel wraps are what reviewers return for, most often built around falafel with spicy potato, with aubergine and halloumi also named. Close behind is the tandoori chicken wrap, which several call excellent. Diners praise the choice of salad, pink turnip slices and sauces, with chilli, mint and tahini mentioned, and say staff readily suggest sauce combinations. Hummus, dips and sides also draw praise. Portions are described as generous, and one reviewer says the small size is more than filling while the large leaves you well and truly stuffed. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, and the service as quick even when queues run out the door. A few mention the small seating area, the eclectic decor and the music. The complaints are small. One reviewer found the meat samosas tiny and made with filo rather than the pastry shown on the menu board, and another calls the cash-only payment slightly annoying but accepts it for the food. One reviewer who first visited years ago says the falafel was just as good on a return trip to Sheffield.

“Easily the finest falafel establishment in Sheffield; absolutely lovely bunch of people run it, great value for money, really speedy service and the food is delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“Hands down the best falafel we have ever tasted! Everything is remarkable—from the falafel itself to the hummus, salads, sides, and dips. We first visited in 2021 and were blown away then; we returned to Sheffield today and the quality is just as amazing. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend Falafel King to anyone looking for an authentic, delicious experience.”
