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 expressed through abundance on the table. The a Middle Eastern restaurant abroad is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Falafel with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
