The Ultimate Falafel

After years of looking for the right kind of Falafel on the streets of Mumbai, I have finally found it in an only-vegetarian outfit that calls itself... ummm... Falafel's Veg Hummus House! I have seen it sitting on a corner of Hill Road, right before you turn for bandstand and right opposite from Kobe's, but somehow have never managed to eat or order from there. Finally, yesterday when we made a quick pit-stop at the new InOrbit Mall in Vashi, we saw it at the food court and didn't dilly-dally as you normally do in food courts. As I was standing there deciding what to get, the guy behind the counter handed me a hot falafel ball with sauces on top to try out... just like they do with little spoons of ice-cream at an ice-cream counter! I bought the traditional Falafel with a wheat pita (yeah, trying to be healthy!) and boy, was it the best decision I took that day!! It was a really fulfilling and satisfying treat!! The hummus was really amazing! The falafel balls were perfect. The sauces and salad were just right as well.
This will now be my regular pit-stop!! :)
