Holy Falafel!

I've never seen such beautiful HUMONGOUS Falafel balls! While we were there, a lady walked in to order 40 Falafel for a dinner party. She said she was going to stick toothpicks in them and serve them that way... I hate ta break it to her but a toothpick just isn't gunna cut it. That's like trying to pick up a pumpkin with a fork!

So, back to the Pitas. "Hummus in every pita!"
The Falafel Pita ($6.45) comes with creamy hummus, Israeli salad, Red Cabbage salad, Pickled Carrots, and of course- the humungo Falafel balls. There's got to be at least 4-5 of those balls of yummy in each pita. When I walked in I saw the pitas and thought "those look kinda small...." How they manage to stuff it to the max without having it explode is beyond me! You don't walk out of Hummus world, you roll out ~

The 2 people next to us ordered the Shawafel, say it with me now... Shawafel. It's so fun to say! Now what the heck is it?!?
A Shawafel ($9.25) is a Pita stuffed (STUFFED) with Falafel Balls on the bottom and Shawarma on top. Does life get ANY better than that?!? I should have ordered that! Next time, next time...

But I also want to try the Sloppy Ju ($9.25) : Hummus, Ground Beef, Baked Fava Beans & Mushrooms. Mmm!

We had a bowl of pickles, the yummy kind! And ordered a side of Crisp Israeli Fries (Seasoned) ($4.25). Crisp to perfection!

I can't wait to go again! They are open  Sun-Thurs 11:30am to 9:00pm, Fri 11:00am until 2 hrs before sundown and closed Sat.

Some advice for light eaters: Share a Pita, order the Fries!
