General Notes

Very affordable, but meh food at best. I got a falafel rice bowl, which also comes with three sides. The golden cauliflower is great -- perfectly cooked and slightly charred / crispy on the exterior. The falafel is OK; it's moreso crunchy than crispy (in a dry/hard way) and not very moist, perhaps because it was sitting around for a while. The portion of falafel they gave was pretty generous though. The rest of their items are pretty meh.


Positives

> There's a outdoor plaza with a bunch of small tables a block south on Shattuck; consider taking your food and eating there!


Negatives

> The interior has a pretty strong smell from all the things they're freshly frying, so I wouldn't stay inside for long periods of time -- your clothes will smell pretty strongly.
