I grabbed some takeout from Falafel Cafe after a visit to MOCA and was hoping that it would be the kind of place I would be going back to. Located at the corner of Euclid and Mayfield Roads, FC has been there a while as the area has picked up and grown. One half of FC is a counter with the kitchen behind, the other is a dining room which struck me as a bit run down. I ended up ordering a falafel and a spinach and mushroom pie to take home.
The falafel was a good sized rolled pita, with nice vegies, pickles and tahini; unfortunately the pita did not hold up to the 10 minute ride home and was falling apart by the time I ate it. The falafel balls were nicely cooked, but a bit bland; a bit of garlic or herbs would have improved the overall sandwich.
The spinach pie was large, but I couldn't really taste the mushrooms that were suppose to be in there. The dough was decent, but the filling left a bit to be desired.
Overall the portions are good, but I found that the flavors were a bit too bland. While conveniently located I doubt I will be heading back, since there are better options available.
