- Falafel itself<\/strong>: The outside was dark but not crunchy. Maybe they had been sitting out of the fryer? They call it a “burger” and it was a little oversized, resulting in a gummy interior, greenish but bland. 4\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bread<\/strong>: WAY too much pita to innards – it was fully wrapped like a burrito, as you can see in the first photo. An open end is more tempting and promises better proportions. The bread wasn’t great on its own – fine but a little dry, not toasted or anything. 3\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sandwich fixings, taste and texture<\/strong>: As usual I asked for no onion. The counter person asked about a pico de gallo type thing and I said that would be great, but it didn’t make it into the sandwich. We had good green lettuce, big chunks of cucumber (too big), tahini and I think hummus. I’m realizing how much pickles matter. 4\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Value for money<\/strong>: $9.95 before tax & tip; very good if I had liked it more! 6\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Eatability<\/strong>: The extra bread was a drawback (the first bit was ALL dry pita), but it held together well. 4\/5<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bonus points<\/strong>: I love the font on their website<\/a> – Berkshire Swash<\/a>. Gorgeously over-the-top (especially the M!) but still legible. The signs in the restaurant are quirky and cool too, and the service was quick. 2\/5<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Another hometown falafel, which I may never have tried before, and won’t again. Nothing terrible but overall not an enjoyable experience, which defeats the purpose of a falafel sandwich! I wouldn’t have said it was too salty, but I was dehydrated the rest of the day and didn’t love the flavor it left on my […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[29,31],"class_list":["post-541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-falafel","tag-savoring","tag-writing-experiments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":549,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541\/revisions\/549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salticid.com\/kogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
