Falafels are wholesome, golden-brown croquettes that are slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and moist from the inside. At Umi Falafel they are passionate about sharing their love of fresh, authentic falafels, which they make on site with fresh chickpeas soaked for 24 hours combined with fresh ingredients such as onions, garlic, parsley, coriander and special Umi spices like cumin, crushed chillies, cloves, cinnamon and more.
As its name would suggest, Umi Falafel Botanic Avenue can be found just minutes from Belfast’s Botanic Gardens, as well as being only a short distance from Ormeau Park and the Lyric Theatre, making it an ideal spot for a bite to eat amidst a day spent exploring Northern Ireland’s capital.
Alongside a wide variety of their namesake falafels, Umi Falafel also serves a range of sandwiches and salads including the grilled haloumi cheese sandwich and fatoush and tabbouleh salads. Mezze dishes are also popular and include the likes of batata hara, spinach filo rolls, stuffed vine leaves and baba ghanoush.
