Anyone who has ever seen this place but never tried it are probably confused how I could give it 5 stars. That's right my friends the restauraunt that shares a building with a Marathon Gas Station makes the best falafel you could hope to find.
It took some encouragement from people I knew to get me to go in, but I am so glad I succumbed to peer pressure. I forgot my lunch for work so come quitting time I was pretty hungry. I stopped in for gas when my nose started making a very convincing argument drawing me in to Leena's foods. To be honest I don't know how it happened but next thing I knew I was staring down the fattest falafel known to man.
The ingredients tasted so fresh, the chickpeas were clearly not from a can, the spices and sauces tasted so rich and authentic. And the bread engulfing him the whole meal was light and flaky just the way I like it.
The thing that makes this good taste 10x better is the man making it. He is a one man shop making and doing everything from start to finish. I have been there many times since and the guy always has a story to tell.
I really wish he would move to a sit down kind of place, as it is there are just a couple tables but you are clearly in a gas station. But this place is best for takeout anyway. This is a modern day example of how you can't judge a book by it's cover.
