The @shemroonkababhouse falafel — ground chickpeas with parsley, garlic and onion — is freshly fried upon ordering and served atop a cucumber, tomato and onion salad with a sesame-flavored tahini sauce.

“It wasn’t on the menu at the beginning when we opened two years ago, but a lot of people were asking for it, especially since we have a really good hummus dish on the menu,” owner Mehdi Hajiaghazadeh tells us. “But very quickly, it became one of our most popular appetizers.”
