I don't know how it's possible but this place may have the best falafel I've ever had. Most of us got either the falafel platter or sandwich. The insides are so moist while outside is perfectly crisp. The crispy outside is very savory. The insides are very, very green. I'm sure there's better ways to describe it, but I think you'll know it if this is what you're looking for.The location itself is small, maybe room for 20 people. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated.It's a casual dining experience, walk up and order and they'll bring it to your table. The staff is helpful and patient. - eeneb
