It's lick-your-plate-clean good

Since a backpacking trip in western Europe one summer during college, I've become something of a falafel connoisseur and seek it out wherever I go. I stumbled across this place in Cartagena the other day...

 

...and promptly went in for what turned out to be some of the best falafel I've had on five continents!

 

So what made this falafel experience so good?

-This falafel was fried, as most falafel is, but it didn't taste greasy or oily

-Generally it comes in a ball shape; this falafel was in quarter sized patties so it was more evenly distributed throughout the pita

-All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful

-The pita bread didn't get soggy and disintegrate despite the generous serving of tahini

-Eggplant was a nice touch

 

More please!
