    Might have asked this before...

    Just wanted to know if ANYONE has found/knows of a place to get decent falafels at?

    Tried a Kebab place next to Burger King (the little plaza next to Red Cross)

    Eeeeuw! The chickpeas were WHOLE and the mixture itself soaking wet :(

    I heard there was some Lebanese place close to Alamos that does them, never been there though.

    The Turkish place you mention is not well recommended from people I know. But, on a similar subject, if you want a great Doner kebab experience then the Turkish place just after McDonalds on Kabah towards Costco is fantastic.

    I go there at least weekly and last time bought two (35 pesos a pop for large), one for lunch one for dinner. It's that good.

    Thanks Steve, Ill check it out :)

    No kebabs for me thou - vegetarian :aktion030:

    Im surprised at the lack of falafels, considering that there are "heaps" of Lebanese here.



    Ps. Steve, do you know why the posting time shows "1255 PM" for me...? Its rather 0657 AM... Any setting I should change?
