| - Nilufar is hands down one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Montreal. Just looking at the photos on their Yelp page is making my mouth water!
I first came across these guys, as many do, when I was a student at Concordia. I lived half a block away and I am not exaggerating when I say that I ate here probably 5 times a week. Their falafel wrap, soup and drink combo is so affordable that it's hard (impossible) to pass it up on the walk home from school.
Fast forward five years, and although I no longer live downtown and no longer have the same limited student food budget, but I am *still* constantly looking for an excuse to hit up Nilufar! For starters, the service is incredible! Have you ever met a restaurant employee who knows all of their customers by first and last name? Not only does this bring a community aspect to the restaurant (somehow, in the middle of downtown Montreal), but it also makes you feel like your business is appreciated.
Second, their falafel is absolutely incredible. They're always, always super fresh -- which is huge when it comes to what makes a good falafel. Even when I've gone to more expensive Middle Eastern restaurants, I haven't found a falafel this crisp and tasty.
Finally, they're so attentive to food allergies and dietary preferences. Vegan? No problem. Gluten free? They have you covered. Paleo? I'm sure they can help you out.
Whether you're a student or not, do yourself a favour and pick up a Nilufar falafel ASAP.
