Customer Reviews

"Falafilo is a good place to visit as long as the workers are very friendly and the service is fast depends on the amount of items you choose and also depends on how crowded the place is. You can eat indoors or outdoors but I recommend …"

"Good fajitas and falafels. I'm not sure we can call the burger here a burger. The service is good. The rest room is tiny and for a muslim owned business, there was no water hose or a kettle in sight. It is also a nice outdoor football viewing center away from sabon gari"

"It's quite a lovely place to chill out after work most especially the open atmosphere. Just that nothing seem to be on in the morning through Afternoon."
