Had there been a shaker on the table, I would have happily added a shower of the stuff to the combination shawarma bowl. Crunchy vegetables and creamy tahini are important additions, but ultimately, it’s the sumac that lights up the whole combination. With its charred exterior, the juicy kebab tastes just as I imagine it would on the streets of Baghdad. Instead of pita, I requested that my ground beef-and-lamb kebab be served on the more substantial samoon. Taza, which is also a bakery, specializes in fluffy, diamond-shaped samoon bread that originates in Iraq. In particular, I savored it shaken liberally over my kebab sandwich. Why do I bring this up? At Taza Falafel in Fairfax, it’s served with such a deft hand that it got me thinking. A lemon squeeze is great, but sumac can also be the answer. Ever thought a dish needed more acid? I do all the time, especially when I’m eating rich meat dishes. My wish is that the deep red, tart spice were on tabletops everywhere. At some Middle Eastern restaurants, it’s provided in the same glass shakers that contain pepper flakes and Parmesan at Italian spots. We don’t taste enough of it in the United States. Ahh I get it… lol I will defiantly be back, maybe to try the platters.Sumac. The lady comes to check me and ask how my falafel was I was like really good! She says I told you its «The Falafel» we both had a giggle. The fries were probably the only disappointment.
The wrap included lettuce, tomatoes, onions, some spicy hummus sauce went well with the wrap.
#Taza falafel full
When my food arrived, I was excited! I opened my wrap and took a bite, omg so good, the falafel was fresh, full of flavour and soft with a a good crust on it. As a was paying I notice one lady was making the falafel by hand Fresh to order! Yes pleAse! The place is bigger than most falafel places Ive too with handful of tables and counters. The lady behind the counter was funny, I was like Id like the falafel wrap with fries, for here place, she say «ok THE Falafel with fries» she emphasized on THE at first I was like ok… I didnt see THE on the menu.
#Taza falafel plus
Went with falafel wrap, plus $ 2 to add fries. I walked in and I very nice lady greeted me, I looked at a big picture menu on the wall. One of THE best Falafel I’ve had… I’ve been looking for a good falafel place near my place. I am truly excited that this place is just down the street. It’s not like I’m spending all that much time there 0 the best part about a falafel is that it’s quick healthy eats, I’m in and out in a flash. And at the end of the day, the place could look like my teenage brothers bedroom. And while the interior isn’t all shiny and new, it is clean which is far more important to me. I had a better fry experience than my fellow reviewers - mine were perfectly crispy and seasoned a dusting of spices. Next time I’ll customize a bit more… do they have those delicious turnip and beet pickles? Maybe add a little extra heat for the BAM! Factor. The falafel was fresh, hot, expertly prepared, crispy. I am more excited for solid local falafel then Christmas (this is saying a lot). No mix here! When we discovered this, our anticipation built. You’re greeted by your new Iraqi mother who cracks jokes with great familiarity and insists that you haven’t really had falafel before.
Every other falafel place in New West and most in Surrey (Jerusalem Grill seems to be the only exception in Surrey) will reheat a prefried falafel ball in a microwave to make your wrap. You probably think you don’t like falafel. For example, the night I got married (after eating a very well prepared four course meal), at 3am, I ate falafel on the streets of New York.
