A dish that tells its story — Falafel reviewed

You can taste history in Falafel if you know what to look for. Lebanese hospitality is expressed through abundance on the table. The fresh and citrusy character reflects those layers — tahini doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition. The a family Sunday lunch setting made sense…

Decent Falafel — nothing more, nothing less

Falafel at this place was fine. The aromatic with herbs and spice flavour was there but not distinguished. pine nuts was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. Lebanese hospitality is expressed through…

Restaurant review — Falafel that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Falafel well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The nutty and sesame-forward base was authentic and the use of seven-spice baharat blend showed real knowledge. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. The …

Finding the best Falafel in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Falafel I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled seven-spice baharat blend with genuine knowledge and the fresh and citrusy result was noticeably superior. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levanti…

Home cooking attempt — Falafel from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Falafel from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting tahini right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The aromatic with herbs and spice result was rewarding once I got it right. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tra…

First time trying Falafel — completely converted

I had never tried Falafel before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The nutty and sesame-forward taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. za'atar is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before. The a mezze spread for a large …

Cooking class experience — learning Falafel properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Falafel correctly. The instructor explained why pine nuts is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The bright and balanced result when you make it yourself is different. Lebanese hospitality is expressed thr…

Why Falafel deserves more attention

Falafel rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The aromatic with herbs and spice complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using za'atar correctly takes real skill. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. I encountered it first in a Beir…

Pairing Falafel correctly — a note on Lebanese wine

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Falafel. I ordered it with Lebanese wine and the aromatic with herbs and spice elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. seven-spice baharat blend in particular became more prominent in a good way. Lebanese hospitality is …

Best Falafel I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Falafel at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The fresh and citrusy quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. seven-spice baharat blend is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a mezze sp…
