Jalla Jalla

Did you know that Malmö is known as the ’falafel capital’ of Sweden? Jalla Jalla, famous for its delicious food and funky tunes, is one of the most popular falafel shops in town.

The food culture in Sweden is diverse, and Malmö in particular is known for its international food scene. Many Malmö restaurants serve food with influences from other parts of the world. Jalla Jalla is one of them, serving delicious falafel topped with fresh veggies and tasty sauces. Lately they have developed their menu further to accommodate the growing number of vegan guests, and as a result they now serve vegan kebab too!

However, there’s more to Jalla Jalla than delicious falafel and vegan kebab – unexpectedly this restaurant is also known for being a night club. Well, sort of. In the early hours of Saturdays and Sundays, Jalla Jalla turns up the music and invites their guests to dance with the staff while waiting for their food orders. This Malmö restaurant has certainly added something different to Swedish food culture.
