From chickpea to falafel: appreciating a crisp bite
Falafel offers a clear contrast between a crisp exterior and a tender herb-filled center. Both parts matter to the eating experience.
Start with the food
Yalla lists chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro and Middle Eastern seasoning in its falafel. Tahini is the accompanying sauce on the standalone appetizer.
A practical way to explore
Try falafel alone before adding a sauce, then explore it in a wrap or as a platter. Each format adds different garnishes and changes the overall bite.
Details worth checking
Choose the serving rather than assuming every falafel item is identical. The family platter, individual platter and sandwich have their own descriptions.
