Finding Falafel in New Haven

We're no strangers to the constant struggle between wanting to eat something on the go and not wanting to further clog your arteries or give McDonald's any more American dollars. If a cheap, healthy and portable meal sounds like what you're looking for, we have an answer we hope is not too far off your radar already: falafel. Falafel is a fried ball of mashed chick peas and/or fava beans, typically served in a pita or other handheld form of bread, accompanied by a host of fresh, real toppings.
