Aladdin Falafel Corner

This week's restaurant is Aladdin's Falafel Corner, just next door to Thai Tom.  It's not on a corner, if you were wondering.  I had been there once before.  I didn't remember the food, but I remembered waiting a long time for it.

This time I arrived about 12:45 pm to an empty restaurant.  I ordered a regular falafel, paid my $5.50, and took a seat at one of the tables.  It was a cold day and the door was open.  There was some heat in the area where the tables are located, but none of the tables was directly in the line of the heat.  I kept my coat on.

In a very reasonable amount of time, my falafel was brought to my table wrapped in white paper on a red plastic tray.  Although plastic cups, water and plastic forks were available, there were no napkin dispensers to be found.  So in addition to the neatly wrapped falafel, the red plastic tray included one napkin.

The falafel was very good.  The pita was warm and soft, the falafel patties were plentiful, well spiced, not too crunchy and not under-cooked.  The lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers were fresh and tasty.  There was plenty of sauce and it complemented the flavors.  If I had any complaint, it was that with only one napkin, the sauce was dangerously close to running up my sleeves.

This was a great lunch at a great price.
