Don't
expect
a
restaurant
as
this
is
more
of
a
takeaway
place
where
there
are
only
a
few
tables
inside
and
no
waiter.
Strip
away
the
peripheral
superficial
decor
and
this
unpretentious
little
Falafel
shack
tucked
away
in
Shepherds
Bush
market
is
undoubtedly
the
best
Falafel
joint
in
the
whole
of
London.
It’s
very
close
to
the
main
road,
so
you
don’t
have
to
venture
too
far
into
the
market.
With
a
variety
of
Falafels
to
choose
from,
they
have
innovative
flavour
combinations
to
cater
for
the
Western
palate
including
fillings
such
as
Feta
Cheese,
Halloumi
Cheese,
Spicy
Tomato
and
more.
I
asked
the
chef
to
prepare
me
the
traditional
Lebanese
Falafel
which
includes
just
five
ingredients;
tomatoes,
red
pickles,
green
pickles,
parsley
and
Tarator
sauce.
Tarator
is
a
wonderful
Tahini
based
sauce
used
as
a
condiment
for
many
Middle
Eastern
dishes.
Having
been
raised
on
falafels,
I
know
what
a
good
falafel
is
supposed
to
taste
like.
Theirs
certainly
don’t
fall
short
compared
to
those
I’ve
eaten
in
the
Middle
East.
Crispy,
fresh,
warm
–
each
bite
is
truly
mind
blowing.
Prices
are
reasonable
where
portion
sizes
are
very
generous.
Regular
wraps
are
between
£4.75
-
6.25
and
the
extra
large
between
£5.50
-
7.30.
The
cafe
is
open
11.00
-
18.00
Mondays
to
Saturdays.
If
only
they
were
open
for
dinner
too.
I
have
been
coming
here
for
years
and
this
place
never
disappoints.
It
is
spotlessly
clean
and
consistently
excellent
with
very
fast
service.
A
mono-product
concept
where
quality
is
very
high.
The
owner
who
is
Palestinian
also
runs
the
café.
He
merits
more
than
just
a
recommendation.
He
deserves
an
award
for
this
place.
