The Cheeky Pea
A family-run Middle Eastern falafel and hummus counter in Eden Walk, going strong since 2013. The vegan and gluten-free falafel burgers make it a reliable Kingston lunch stop, though halal meat is also on the menu so it isn't an all-vegan kitchen.
The Cheeky Pea has been serving falafel and hummus from its counter in Eden Walk shopping centre since 2013, and it’s a family-run operation through and through. The focus is Middle Eastern: falafel, salads, tabbouleh and the falafel burger it’s best known for.
For vegans and anyone avoiding gluten, this is a dependable choice in central Kingston. The falafel burgers come in vegan and gluten-free versions, and the salads and tabbouleh round out a quick, budget-friendly lunch. It’s worth being clear that the kitchen also serves halal meat, so this isn’t a 100% vegan setup — but it’s a solid bet when you want a fast plant-based bite.
The counter picked up “Best Independent Food & Drink” at the KBBA Business Awards 2026, a nod to its standing among Kingston’s independents. Eat in, or take it away if you’re passing through the shopping centre.
