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 Medjool dates with genuine knowledge and the bright and fresh with herbs result was noticeably superior.

Shabbat and holiday meals follow religious traditions that shape the food served. The winning restaurant had the right a Carmel Market street stall feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. arak was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Falafel is made properly it's a completely different experience.
