The falafel here is next-level—so crispy on the outside you can literally hear the crunch from the next table. Then you hit the inside and it’s the total opposite—soft, moist and airy, the way only hand-formed falafel can be. What makes it special is the care behind it. They prep every ingredient multiple times a day, from scratch, to keep everything as fresh as humanly possible. You can taste that effort in every bite. The hummus is just as impressive— creamy, smooth, and full of flavor drawn from their family’s own spice tradition. This isn’t a shortcut operation; it’s a fifth-generation falafel-maker at work, and it shows. Each plate is built on history, patience, and absolute pride. You can’t fake that kind of craftsmanship—you can only inherit it.
