What is there inside a Falafel Sandwich ?

What you need to know about the Falafel sandwich :

1. It is completely Vegan, no animals inside.
2. The main ingredient of the Falafel (the balls) is Chickpea, which is a great source of protein.
3. The Falafel balls come inside a “Pita bread” and with salad, and overall, it is an healthy dish. If you want it to be even healthier, ask for the “whole grain Pita” instead of the normal white bread.
4. Falafel is known as the number 1 Israeli fast food, but it is popular in all the middle-east. You can find Falafel now in all the big western cities around the globe. As the world is becoming more and more Vegetarian, the Falafel is becoming more popular.

Ranking : The 3 Best Falafel in Tel-Aviv

1. Falafel Frishman

This Falafel is located at the intersection of the streets Frishman and Dizengoff, so it is very central. The Falafel is excellent and there are always people waiting in line. They sell also a Sabih sandwich and it is excellent as well. They now have a branch also in the Levinski market in the south of Tel-Aviv and it is still called Falafel Frishman, although this one is not in Frishman street.

How to get there ?

2. Falafel Johnny (Benin) – gluten free

They exist since 1955. They still give the same special fried potatoes on top of the Falafel sandwich.

The Falafel is special and excellent.

The location of this Falafel has two advantages :

1. The place is located near the Sabih Tchernikhovski, so you can choose one or the other.
2. Adjacent is an area where you can sit and eat calmly your Falafel.

3. Falafel Hakosem (it means, “the magician” in hebrew)

The “Hakosem” is right now the most popular Falafel in Tel-Aviv. There is always a queue at lunch time. The flavour of the falafel balls is quite special. As a bonus there are places to sit and also Sabih sandwiches, if you prefer.

How to get there ?

Falafel Rambam

This Falafel is located inside the famous Carmel market, so it is an interesting experience.

There is no place to sit, so take your Falafel to the pedestrian street “Nahalat Benyamin”.
It is cheaper than the average Falafel in Tel-Aviv.

Don’t expect fancy options in the salad, it is very basic (but excellent).
If you are already in Acarmel market, you will find also many other foods like Mexican burritos, Venezuelan Arepas and much more.

How to get there ?

• Address : Rambam St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo.
• See on Google Map.
• Inside the Market, search for the alley named Rambam

Falafel Ratzon

The most prominent point about this Falafel is that it costs about a third price compared to the others. There is not a lot of variety in the Salad but it is sufficient. At lunch time there is a big queue. The location is also excellent, near the Carmel Market.

How to get there ?

1. Address : King George St 21-15, Tel Aviv-Yafo.
2. See on Google Map.

Sabih Sandwich

What is there inside a Sabih Sandwich ?

From the outside, the Sabih looks exactly like the Falafel because it comes in the same pita bread and with salad. In many cases the Falafel vendors are  also selling Sabih.
Inside the Sabih, instead of the Falafel balls, there is :

1. Slices of grilled eggplant
2. Cooked potato
3. Boiled hard egg

As you can see, this is a very complete meal and an healthy one. Also in this case, you can ask for a “whole grain” pita bread instead of the white pita.
If you are Vegan you can ask to omit the egg, but never, never ask to omit the grilled eggplants because the staff works very hard to prepare them and they may get offended (Sabih vendors are very sensitive).

Anyway a Sabih without eggplant is not a Sabih anymore.

Ranking : The 3 Best Sabih in Tel-Aviv

1. Sabich Tchernikhovski

Each Sabih is prepared here with a lot of care. It takes them about 5 minutes to arrange the ingredients in each pita and the result is very nice and tasty. This little place is very known in Tel-Aviv.
