Le Daily Syrien

Tucked away on a bustling stretch of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis in the 10th arrondissement, Le Daily Syrien quietly serves some of the best falafel sandwiches you’ll find anywhere in Paris. While other spots might draw longer lines and bigger crowds, this unassuming Syrian shop delivers exceptional quality without the wait—a rare combination in a city that takes its street food seriously.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Extra Falafel sandwich. Each one starts with thin, pliable flatbread that gets generously slathered with silky hummus and eggplant that’s been slow-roasted until it practically melts into a rich, smoky puree. The falafel itself arrives piping hot and fresh, each piece generously flecked with sesame seeds that add a subtle nuttiness. Bright pink pickled turnips cut through all that richness with just enough acidity to keep every bite interesting.

This is the kind of spot that’s perfect for a quick solo lunch or a casual walk-in when you’re exploring the neighborhood. The traiteur location offers both takeaway options and a handful of seats if you’d rather eat on-site. There’s no fuss, no pretension—just honest, delicious food made with care.

If you’re in Paris and craving something beyond the usual tourist fare, Le Daily Syrien deserves a spot on your list. The prices are friendly, the portions are generous, and the quality speaks for itself. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you stumble upon, and this little Syrian gem is exactly that kind of happy discovery.
