We recommend trying the chicken shawarma plate sold at $13.85. The chicken is lean and marinated with BBQ sauce. This dish is served with tabbouleh, a salad made with parsley, tomatoes, onions and seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil. It goes great with the creamy hummus and nutty tahini sauce. It also comes with a side of pita bread and hot sauce.

Another favourite here is the falafel plate. Falafels are a great option if you’re looking to get more legumes into your diet as they are made from chickpeas and seasoned with a variety of spices. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They knock this dish out of the park. As it is a plate this dish also comes with salad, pita bread, hummus, tahini and hot sauce.

Enjoy your meal with a side of vegetable samosa. This delicious snack is mildly spicy and very crisp on the outside. It is a savoury snack that is stuffed with potatoes and peas. The samosas can be enjoyed by themselves or with some sauce on the side. They are really fragrant and definitely a great snack in between a meal.

You can end your day with baklava. This is a layered dessert with the right amount of sweetness. Every bite comes with chopped nuts adding to the texture of this pastry. The baklava is flakey and tender at the same time. It has a delicate flavour well suited to be the last dish eaten here. So the next time you’re looking for good food try Falafel World.
