The difference between the Falalfel Pocket and their Falafs Pocket (one of their signature) is that this one has a kale salad and the sauce is tahini where the Falafs has a slaw salad and amba sauce (sweet mango sauce with slight spice)
I chose this one because I don’t really like sweet sauces but perhaps I’ll try it next time.
First off, the pocket is tiny. The pita is tiny. I was expecting it to be quite large but it wasn’t even the size of my palm (and my hands are quite small 😅) so you already know that this is not a quite filling meal and more of a generous snack.
They give you some pickles on top (a radish and banana pepper) both has a great acidity and the pepper even has a nice and mild spice. Pleasant palate cleansers.
It’s my first time trying falafels so I don’t have anything to compare them to. I would say that it is crunchy with a velvety interior. The tahini and toum (garlic) sauce covered it quite well so it wasn’t dry. Sadly, there were only 3-4 pieces (not surprising since the pocket is small to begin with) and all are quarters of a whole.
Aside from the falafel, hummus is also here! Very glad they give both variations of chickpeas. Although the hummus isn’t as prominent in the pocket as the toum or tahini sauce, you can still taste a mild tahini and chickpea mixture as well as feel some grains of chickpeas in the mixture of sauces. I only wished they gives more hummus.
In addition to the falafels, the kale salad is well massaged so it’s not too firm and hard. The tahini sauce also enveloped it well and it isn’t bitter nor thick. The salad also has refreshing cucumbers and some fresh cherry tomatoes. Very happy these watery vegetables didn’t make the pita soggy.
My favorite part of this was actually the red onions. Not acidic or spicy. But gives you a delightful crispness and pungency that awakens you and takes you away from the one dimensional chickpeas.
The pita itself is very very chewy with a great crisp exterior. Not too soft so it doesn’t get mushy or soft and retains a firm bite to it even when smothered with sauce. But it still bothers me that the pita is so tiny 😂

💬 Overall, even though I was still hungry afterwards, the food was great. Next time I might try their combos and bowls. A bit sad that the price didn’t match up to the portion but everything is expensive nowadays.
They also have a loyalty card where you can redeem a free drink, side and eventually a bowl or pocket every time you buy a main meal! So expect more from me 😜
