All Kind of Falafel

Falafel in Amman takes on many different shapes and forms. A “torpedo” style wrap identical to the kind we see in the States, to tiny bite-size balls served on a plate with separate plates of khubetz (pita bread), tomatoes, raw onions and mint. For lunch today the office ordered in falafel for anyone who wanted it. This however was different yet again. This time is served in a smaller pita bread that is not rolled up, but rather stuffed inside the two layers of bread a la a Greek gyro. But this style was also different in that it contained tomatoes, cabbage, pickles, and a spicy red chili salsa. In addition, the falafels themselves were mashed inside the bread and mixed with a little anise. By far the best version I’ve had so far. Fantastic.
