There’s dozens of different falafel styles and all of them claim to be original. Lebanon Syria, Greece, turkey, and others each make a different falafel. I’ve had amazing crunchy falafel sandwiches and others that tasted like stale bread inside another bread.
Within 200m I had falafel from two different places. One tasted like woodshavings and paper towels (I kinda suspect a paper towel really did get in there, it’s usually just wood shavings), the other one was Lebanese, and it was the tastiest, most amazing falafel I’ve had in my life. Homemade is great, supermarket is ok when I want a quick wrap but kinda meh.
I think I’m very okay with admitting that I probably just haven’t had good falafel yet. But I’ll make more effort to do so based on everyone’s comments!
I’ve never been all that fond of falafel. I feel like I would like it in theory but when I eat it it’s just, meh.
:O
Jk, I love when I make them myself, but in many places they’re just dry as hell…

Freshness is important. Fresh falafel straight out of the fryer in a sandwich with all the fixings is a very nice meal imo :P
I recommend a trip to Palestine.
