Delicious and fast

I had lunch here on July 14, 2024. The cauliflower pita was delicious. This is a "fast food" place where you go up to the counter and order. Service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere could use a bit of spiffing up.

Quick easy great food

Need a quick lunch with options and no fuss. This is it. Ireland isn’t exactly the nation of vegan friendly foods, but this place is great!

Voy good Vegan óptimos

Very good vegan options to choose from and with very good value for money. You have to be careful because some of the options are quite spicy, but in general everything is very tasty. Highly recommended

Nothing much you can do wrong with Lebanese food. Tasty and good quality but nothing mind blowing

Overpriced

The food was good but nothing special. I think it is bit overpriced, because its just a normal fast food place
Good falafel tho!

Best falafel in town?

It pleases me to see that Umi has grown and there's now more branches. The falafels are authentic, and easily among the best in town. Filling, and not too expensive for being Dublin.

Healthy and delicious fast food

Umi Falafel is the best way to have a quick, yet healthy and filling lunch. We both chose the Palestinian Falafel and it was absolutely delicious.
The place was crowded when we first came here and there was a long queue, so we decided to come back thirty minutes later. Then it was fine and the waiting time was not long. The falafels are so fresh, and also huge - we couldn‘t even finish them.

The only thing to criticize is that it could have been a bit cleaner, especially the washrooms as well as the tables. It is also not particularly cosy, but well, it is a fast food place.

Pros: Delicious, fresh and filling, Many vegan choices, Quick lunch

Cons: Could be a bit cleaner, Can be a long wait during peak times

Great chain stop

Wonderful staff, great options, lots of vegan items. The fryer oil is used with dairy so anything fried they do not mark as vegan. Although this is a chain, the food is worth a visit.

The best falafel at the best price

Umi is my go-to for amazing comfort food. Their falafel is wonderful and their hummus is gorgeous with a very silky texture and decadent flavor. You won't break the bank eating here either, as the wraps are very reasonably priced and if you're extra peckish you can add on sides. 100% vegetarian menu with great vegan selection. I always recommend if you come here grab an extra order of hummus with bread for your table - if y'all are prepared to fight over it😉

Pros: Cheap, Fast, Delicious

Nice street food for take out

They have a variety of vegan options and the food was nice. But it’s not a cosy place to have dinner or sit along with friends the whole evening.

Quiet branch

I find this branch good because I like being able to choose my table instead of being seated in a very small one. Also, this place is much more quiet as fewer people go and the space is kind of bigger (Umi falafel in Dame st can get so noisy, right?). For me the flavours in this branch are as good, even though I didn't try everything yet.
Still, as the previous review states, there are a few details about this Umi falafel, like the plastic cutlery, which is bad and I find it a bit unhygienic even.
Also, juices only come in those small bottles for take away, so again more plastic plus for me they might be smaller than the glasses you can get in Dame st.
The staff is friendly but when we asked for mango sauce in a "Falafel your way" they said "we don't offer that option, but ok, I'll do it for you"... then the wrap came without that sauce, or any other sauce at all! haha... In Dame st they always let us order the wrap with mango sauce, they don't even make a comment about it.

Few details to improve, but I think I still like going to this one instead of the busy one in Dublin 2 :)

Pros: You can choose your table, it's not busy or noisy, great flavours, as always!

Cons: Plastic clutery, juices only in bottles, staff could be more flexible

Could do with some improvements

I love Umi but found that this particular branch could do with any improvements. Our food took about half an hour to be ready and when we got it, some of it was freezing so had to wait again. There is only plastic cutlery available which is disappointing to see such plastic waste being created, be great if they moved away from this. The staff was nice. With a few improvements this place could be on par with other branches

Pros: Not too busy

Cons: Slow service, Way too much plastic
