9 Best Falafel in Bali (2026)
Falafel is fried chickpeas, which sounds like something no kitchen could get wrong and half of them do. Fried too long it turns into a dry ball with a crust. Made from flour rather than soaked chickpeas it comes out heavy. Made this morning and reheated at lunch it tastes of the fryer and nothing else. The good ones are green inside, from parsley and coriander, and crack rather than crumble.
In Bali it arrives three ways, and the difference matters more than the ranking. A plate is falafel with hummus, pita and pickles, which is lunch. A wrap is a street version, cheaper, usually eaten standing. Then there are the kitchens that rebuild it: masala spicing, buckwheat crust, a bowl with pumpkin. That last group is either the most interesting food on this page or not falafel at all, depending on how strict you are.
So this list is grouped by form rather than by fame. Nine kitchens, all with the dish on their own menu, prices where they publish them, and a note on which of the three you are getting.
Prices run from 45,000 for a plain plate to 100,000 for a full plate with sides. Wraps sit in the middle, around 69,000. All of it is cheap next to the rest of a Bali lunch, which is the other reason to know where the good ones are.
The short version
- Cheapest plate: The Shisha House in Seminyak, 45k. Full plate with sides: Shawarma Beirut, 100k.
- Cheapest wrap: Tarabelle in Uluwatu, 69k, and it is vegan.
- Only one on the Uluwatu side does a wrap, and only one kitchen in Balangan serves falafel at all.
- Three kitchens rebuild it: masala and buckwheat at Shaffa, falafel shawarma at Word.Bali, a sweet bowl at Mowies.
- Prices come off the menus themselves and were read this week.
Falafel as a plate
Falafel, hummus, pita, pickles, on one plate. This is the version to order if you want lunch rather than a snack.
1. Al Diwan – Kerobokan
Kerobokan, and the most straightforwardly Lebanese kitchen on the island. Chickpea croquettes fried to order, on a mezze page that also has batata harra for 50k. Go with two people and order across it.

2. The Shisha House – Seminyak
Seminyak. Falafel 45k, baba ganoush 65k, pita 65k, which makes a full spread cheaper here than a single plate elsewhere. The room is built for shisha and long evenings rather than lunch.

3. Shawarma Beirut – Canggu
Canggu. The falafel plate is 100k and comes with the full set of sides. Slow-roasted meat is what the room is known for, but the vegetarian side of the menu is not an afterthought.

Falafel in a wrap or a roll
The street version. Cheaper, faster, and the one to get if you are eating between two other things.
4. Sababa – Berawa
Berawa. Falafel lavosh rolls, 100k, spiced and rolled rather than stuffed into pita, alongside a kitchen that does the rest of the Levantine canon properly.

5. Tarabelle – Ungasan
Uluwatu, and the only falafel wrap on that side of the island. 69k, marked vegan, cherry tomato and gremolata mayo in a toasted wrap. Open from seven in the morning.

6. Al Madina – Berawa
Kuta. The vegan wrap has a following, and the kitchen leans on it. Crisp outside, soft inside, and cheap enough that the queue at lunch moves fast.

The kitchens that rebuilt it
Not traditional and not pretending to be. Listed most unusual first.
7. Shaffa GastroBazar – Balangan
Balangan, and the least conventional version here: masala spicing in a crispy buckwheat crust, served as part of the tasting plates rather than as a lunch order. It is the only falafel on that stretch of coast.
Mediterranean Restaurant · 4.7 from 562 Google reviews · 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Mon to 4:00 PM)
8. Word.Bali – Canggu
Canggu. Falafel shawarma, which means crispy falafel with hummus and roasted vegetables built like a shawarma plate. Calorie counts on the menu if that matters to you.
Restaurant · 4.6 from 1239 Google reviews · $$ · Open 24 hours
9. Mowies – Berawa
Berawa. A sweet falafel bowl with roasted pumpkin and muhammara, served with the breakfast menu. Further from the original than anything else here and honest about it.

Questions people ask about falafel in Bali
Where is the best falafel in Bali?
For the traditional plate, Al Diwan in Kerobokan and Shawarma Beirut in Canggu are the two Lebanese kitchens doing it properly. The Shisha House in Seminyak is the cheapest at 45k. On the Uluwatu side there is one wrap worth driving for, at Tarabelle.
How much does falafel cost in Bali?
From 45,000 for a plain plate to 100,000 for a full one with hummus and sides. Wraps land around 69,000. Anything above 100k is a mezze spread for two rather than a single order.
Is there vegan falafel in Bali?
Most of it is vegan by default, since it is chickpeas and herbs. Tarabelle marks its wrap V and VN on the menu, and Al Madina in Kuta built its reputation on a vegan wrap. Check the sauce rather than the falafel: yoghurt and tahini are where the dairy hides.
Where can you get falafel near Uluwatu?
Tarabelle in Uluwatu does a vegan wrap for 69k, and Shaffa GastroBazar in Balangan serves a masala version in a buckwheat crust as part of its tasting plates. That is the whole list for that side of the island, which says something about how underserved it is.
What makes a good falafel?
Green inside, from parsley and coriander rather than flour. A crust that cracks instead of crumbling. Fried to order, not sitting under a lamp. If it arrives beige all the way through, the kitchen used a mix.
Do these kitchens deliver?
The Lebanese kitchens do, and falafel survives a delivery better than most fried food if you eat it within twenty minutes. The rebuilt versions do not travel: buckwheat crust and a warm bowl are both worse in a box.
