Falafel Palace Falafel

Ever since I imprinted on the Hostel in the Forest, I haven't been especially interested in other sandwiches, which dramatically decreases my potential contributions to this blog.

However, a falafel is not exactly a sandwich, and Moody's Falafel Palace in Central Square, Cambridge, deserves a shout-out.


Falafel: Not just for showering anymore.

I always get the Falafel Roll-up with hummus, because it's the best. Falafel, hummus, tahini, pickles, other things... a downright democratic representation of flavors and textures, swaddled in a buttery wrap. I get so excited about this wrap that when I hear "Falafel with hummus?" shouted from the other end of the counter, I more often than not respond with a giggle.

The tahini drips out the other end, which is how I like it. You can ask for less tahini, though. I don't know why you'd do that.

My one complaint is that the roll-up is just slightly too big. When you realize you're comfortably full, there's a good inch or two left. You're not going to save an inch of sandwich to eat later, and to throw it out would be sacrelige. You have to eat it, and as a result, you'll be significantly less comfortable for several hours.
