Falafel Banin Johnny - Tel Aviv

Nice falafel balls with the extra of a delicious fried aubergine as snack inside the falafel

This is the first place my fiancé and I ate outside of our hotel on our scouting trip to Tel Aviv (we are moving here soon and we are now actually looking in this area just to be close to this spot. I’m only mildly kidding. There are falafel restaurants all over the city, of course, but many of them serve shawarma, so we won’t eat in them, but this little authentic street shop serves fresh and hot falafel with Israeli salad, Israeli pickles, hummus, tahini, etc. We were happy that we were able to order in English as both of us need to work on our Hebrew (me especially and got a beautiful and delicious meal with drinks for under the equivalent of US$15 (55 NIS. My favorite part of Israeli food is all the herbs. There is plenty of parsley here and I LOVE parsley, so if you’re wondering what that flavor is in your Israeli salad, that’s it.

Super falafel on request gluten-free! first choice for “Fastfood” in tel aviv!

Very pleased with this old school falafel experience. The shop is very small, with seating for eight inside and space for a dozen or so outside, including public benches. The falafel is fantastic. Be sure to order with chips French Fries), as they are an excellent light) addition to the sandwich. The chatter between the preparers and the customers is fun to be a part of as well lots of jokes and laughs abound.
