Unreal food experience. Best falafel of my life. The shwarma with hummus is to die for. Beautiful ambiance, grest service and some of the best food I've had in Oaxaca. Absolutely must visit! Pro tip if you come alone, you can choose 5 items for a smaller tasting plate. out of this world. Finished with a lovely Tahiti ice cream and Turkish coffee. Best choice for final meal.
Run, don’t walk to this amazing place! Fresh, delicious and perfectly executed, what they serve is perfection. Best falafel ever, and we have had many, and all salads and meza are great. We are canceling our Michelin restaurant to go to this restaurant again as it is only open Friday through Sunday. This side of Israel, you can’t beat it and a nice change from local cuisine when you want it. Staff is delightful and atmosphere, casual and relaxed.
Baklava was the main star of the show - I just love how the orange sauce complements the whole dessert. Smoked eggplant reminded me of Georgian cuisine and was indeed smokey in flavour as the name suggests. Falafel was perfectly crispy and fried - it feels like of eating nuggets. Lemonade (sparkling) was not too bad as well. Sadly, their cauliflower was sold out. They accept cards here!
Super nice restaurant tucked away on a quiet side street. Candlelit dinners in a beautiful courtyard setting create a magical atmosphere. Warm, friendly service and tasty homemade kombucha made it even better. The food was packed with flavour—we loved everything we tried, from the falafel and labane to the babaganoush, burek, and fattoush salad. A perfect spot if you’re looking for a delicious break from Mexican cuisine.
With so many incredible restaurant choices in Oaxaca, it’s difficult to choose. After reading reviews and seeing their menu online, Adamá landed at the top of my list during my visit to the area. Everything we ordered (falafel, cauliflower, kebabs, tabbouleh, baba ganoush) lived up to the rave reviews. The flavor and freshness was incredible. I would return in a heartbeat!
Wow! My partner and I said to each other as we enjoyed this that it might be the best meal we have ever had. I strongly considered going for a 1.5hour run straight after so I was hungry enough to go again. If you’re in the area please go, you will not regret it.
A great hidden gem with amazing Mediterranean food! You can’t go wrong with any dish as they are all delicious! Everyone was so nice and they were able to accommodate us quickly without reservation.
Can’t cap here this place is as good as it gets. I come here weekly. I feel I’m transported to the Middle East when eating this hummus and falafel. The sampler plate is to die for. I genuinely dream about the tahini ice cream until the moment I’m eating it again. The staff is so so so amazing. I love it here
