    Delicious shrimp ball, sweet potato ball, chickpeas ball and mexican style ball. The best is to take these as tapas and try the different tastes. Try the baked potatos and hummus as sides, as well!

    Service was excellent (a rare find in Barcelona), food was good. Get the Pita over the plate, way better deal. Definitely try their mashed potatoes with herbs and don't miss out on local craft beer.

    So delicious! Real food in a touristic place! Vegan friendly. Sweet potato is just a bomb! Hummus is perfect! Staff are really cool and friendly. It has become one of my fav places in the world.

    Best falafel in town, you can prefer all dishes on a plate or in pita. On the otherhand “a tu bola potatoes” is the best one we have ever taste. You should order this as a starter. Good price.

    My second time here. A place that specializes in meatballs may seem strange, but alas.This is the magic of the tapas scene, a nice small tasty dish that you otherwise would not try. Highly recommend

    Great quick lunch, quality in cheap prices...or as gastropub at night with healthy, intesresting food accompanied with a nice beer selection. Must try that chicken in a pita with hummus on the side.

    A Tu Bola is a lovely mixture of Middle East & Spanish culture. The taste, the service and the owners are very cool and communicative. It was one of the best tapas experience of Spain. #shalom

    All the pitas are tops (different kinds of meet and falafel). They have a great hummus with fried mushrooms if you don’t feel like having a pita in a pita place.

    Original small pitas place in Raval, crowded even in working days. Every meatball is different, surprising and delicious! They offer some nice local ale beer too. Welcoming staff and decent prices.

    Little gem in one of the small streets in Barcelona. If you see this place while you are walking, just go inside and enjoy their delicious snack and homemade lemonade.

    Very very good place, try the lentils balls plate!! It s cheap, good quality, made on the spot and shouldn't be classified under fallafel but Mediterranean restaurant as wide variety of dishes.
