Cool place with excellent falafel!

Not only do you get nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked falafel, they also stuff your pita sandwich with lots of vegetables - roasted eggplant, potato salad, shredded and pickled carrot and cabbage, mushrooms, with a nice harissa sauce. Definitely recommend!

Delicious food and friendly staffs

The staff was very friendly and patient when I was ordering my food. The food was delicious and fulfilling. I ate the regular falafel sandwich and it was so so delicious—the outer crust of the falafel was crispy and the variety of sauce on top of the falafels was pleasurable. The price was reasonable as well. I will definitely come here again.

Pros: 1. Nice vibe , Good music, Excellent food

Cons: No wifi :(, 2. Limited seating

Ballon Tokyo on a rainy day

We visited Ballon Tokyo when it was sprinkling outside and I was happy to see that Ballon has a rainy day service where you could choose a free falafel or coriander topping!!! The cashier guy was so sweet and patient to my friend and I even though, we were a bit disorganised and took our time. The place is cute and very aesthetic with limited sitting options, but they even let my friend use the staff’s bathroom

Pros: Various vegan soft serve options , Interior design , Friendly staff

Cons: Limited seating , Only staff’s bathroom

Ballon’s Falafel Sand and Vegan soft serve are so delicious!Also, there are a lot of homemade toppings for soft serve!
My favorite toppings is raspberry source and cocoanibs & chocolate chips.

Friendly atmosphere and delicious falafel

If you’re hungry and want to make a healthy choice, go to Ballon! The handmade falafel sandwiche is my absolute favorite:) Lots of veggies and crunchy falafels are so satisfying:)

You can either take away or eat in.

Pretty beautiful and satisfying lunch

The falafel is among the best I tasted and the soup also is pretty good. They pay for reviews with delicious vegan ice cream though so beware.

Pros: the food is pretty good-looking!, inexpensive

Cons: Little space but that can be a plus

Delicious and healthy

The falafels are fresh and tasty. You can add coriander and spicy sauce if you like. The soft serve is delicious and you can add several toppings if you like. I don’t like the wooden spoons so bring your own if you prefer. I enjoy the cozy atmosphere and recommend it for a lazy afternoon.

Pros: Tasty, Nice atmosphere, Friendly staff

Cons: Wooden spoon for soft serve

Must visit in Tokyo!

Love this 100% vegan falafel & ice-cream!! Really delicious and looks so beautiful. These days they also serve yummy tomato soup. It takes only 5 minutes from Nakameguro Station, then you can find a lovely small falafel stand. Ballon serves really tasty falafel and vegan ice-cream made by soy milk and amazake(a sweet drink made from fermented rice). Stand is not so big, but really cozy and stylish! It worth to visit while you are in Tokyo!
