Went out and got falafels from our local Middle Eastern restaurant. We like this place because their falafel balls are spiced the way we like them (with cumin and parsley) and they use tahini instead of the yogurt and garlic based sauces that most of the other local Middle Eastern restaurants use on their wraps. Seems that the Yemeni owned restaurants use the yogurt sauce while the Lebanese and Israeli owned restaurants use tahini. For me a falafel must have tahini or it’s not the real thing. Cheers!🥂
