Fresh Falafel

Fresh Falafel have a few spots around London, but you could be lucky enough to find them at StreetFoodish! They have been on the scene since 2013, serving hot, freshly- and authentically-made falafel. There is nothing more satisfying or filling than a huge pitta stuffed with chickpea goodness, and at these prices, it’s a win-win. Choose a falafel wrap for just £9, add halloumi or aubergine for £9.50, or go all out with both for £10.
