Was going to Whole Foods to buy a few staple items when I was hit w/ a craving for falafel. Remembered there was a pita shop next door, so popped in after dropping some cash at Whole Paycheck. (I actually am a fan of WF and am willing to part w/ some cash to get bread and organic uncured thick-cut bacon my system can actually stomach!) Service was friendly, as always, and I even scored a whole piece sample of their delicious homemade walnut-filled baklava! (It's topped w/ pistachios, so those w/ a mild pistachio allergy could just peel the top layers off, and you're good to go. Believe you me, the remainder is well worth the $2 (or maybe less... IDK, I didn't pay!) you'll fork over for it. :)
The falafel patties were huge! However, just like the hummus they're made w/, they weren't very flavorful, but I liked the crunch of the patties, even if they were on the dry side. The extra sides of hummus and tahini didn't really add any flavor, but they helped to mitigate the low moisture content of the falafel. I wouldn't buy another falafel pita here (2 stars), but the friendly employees, clean environment, and the complimentary dessert deserved an extra star!
