I take a strange pleasure in being given pita bread in the bag
they bought the stuff in. It makes me feel that
the cook is a real person too.

King Falafel
(718)745-4188
Ordered:
Lamb Schwarma Sandwich
Cauliflower Wrap, warm
Mugarah
Yogurt Salad
King Falafel is really good. A reasonable delivery time, forty minutes on a Saturday night. Pleasant person on the phone to take my order, friendly and helpful. The delivery person shorted me a dollar, not in a sneaky way but in a blank stare way. I couldn't bring myself to argue with him as he didn't seem to speak any English, I just gave up and let him pad his tip.
Bah.
Anyways, the actual food was good. The lamb was juicy and perfect, charred lightly on the outside and wrapped in a soft, oversized pita. Really, really wonderful.
The cauliflower wrap was very good, too. My wife loved it, I had a few bites and approved, though I found something in it a little bitter. The only bad thing about the wrap was my wife picking out sizable tomato chunks that were too hard to eat. But it tasted great.
The mugarah wasn't my cup of tea, though my wife seemed to like it. It was atypical of what the stuff normally is like, regardless. The yogurt salad was about as good as it could be, with long strips of cucumber in it, and I think a few pieces of celery.
All in all, this is the best middle-eastern I've had in Bay Ridge.
