Falafel

Tuesday lunch. I've wanted to come for a long time, but the pandemic turned me into a homeworker and I'm rarely in Nottingham at the right time of day. I'm a little bit blown away by just how good this place is. Based on my selection I'd liken it to a top notch vegetarian kebab shop - who needs meat when the food is this good!? We had two of the mini platters, one Turkish, one Iraqi. WARNING - the 'mini' platters are huge. Most people I saw were opting for a 'sandwich', probably a more realistic aim. My fellow diner could only eat about half, but luckily the supplied bread is ideal to wrap up the rest for later. So many flavours and textures - the food took about 20 minutes to arrive, but that's understandable when everything seems freshly cooked to order. I asked for a pot of chilli sauce, which was not overpowering, but contained flavours I've never tasted before. I wish I'd asked what the magic ingredient was.

Stopped in today, 3rd October 2023 for a bite to eat, ordering the Turkish Falafel mini platter with falafel, baba ganoush, chilli sauce, garlic sauce, turnip, pickles, red cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber which was exceptional in quality, taste, and appearance. Added bonus is Falafel offers customers V & GF items on their menu! 👍🏽👍🏽 The open dining area on the pavement outside of the restaurant was lovely in the Autumn sunshine today, however my four star rating on Atmosphere actually has nothing to do with the space provided by Falafel's, but because of the number of people (4) who approached my table to beg for money which reflects on the City Council and not Falafel. Despite that, if you enjoy good quality Middle Eastern cuisine and friendly service give it a try.

We absolutely love Falafel. The food is great, really fantastic flavors and always well made by the friendly staff. We go every time we are in Nottingham, and it has been one of our favourites for a long time! There are a ton of vegetarian options (which is rare) and the food is always fresh and super tasty.
