Falafel hummus bowl $100
Their falafels are delicious as always. Super crunchy on the outside, tender and fluffy on the inside. I personally like that it is a little dry as that means it is perfect with the hummus. Even though they deep fry it, it is not oily nor greasy. Each live is also really big which is always a bonus. They give 3 falafels in this bowl and one additional one to all of the bowls which is more than enough.
A generous scoop of hummus is given and it might be the best I’ve ever had but it does get a bit heavy after a while due to the amount of tahini they used. The hummus is extremely smooth and velvety, like the texture of smooth peanut butter that just sticks onto your mouth. A bit one dimensional in flavors so it definitely needs the falafel’s spice.
I asked for half rice and half slaw to get a taste of everything and this was the correct choice. The rice is savory and flavorful and hearty. It is also quite dry (basmati rice) so it goes perfectly with the hummus. The slaw is very refreshing and crisp with cabbage, lettuce, red onions and cucumbers. All tossed in a light and acidic Lebanese dressing. The red onions are especially pungent and offer a very sharp flavor that cuts the hummus very well. The portion of both are also very sufficient, you won’t feel one is more than the other.
There are also come pickled vegetables including radish, cucumbers and a jalapeño. They are nice but pretty average and could be crispier and spicier.
For this price, the portion is very sufficient and much more filling than their pockets.

💬 Overall, a lovely lunch with a newfound hummus. Not bad for busy office workers nearby.
