First time trying Falafel — completely converted

I had never tried Falafel before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The warmly spiced taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. tahini is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a fusion restaurant mixing Mediterranean traditions setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Shabbat and holiday meals follow religious traditions that shape the food served. My server recommended arak alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Falafel. Outstanding first encounter.
