Falafel is a crunchy vegetarian snack that is perfect to have on the go. Fava beans, ground chickpeas, tahini, garlic, parsley are mixed to form cutlets or flat disc shapes, which are deep-fried to a golden brown. The fried treats can be eaten alone, dipped in sauce, or even slipped inside a pita bread pocket. Side them up with fresh salads, pickles, and sauce and you've got a wholesome healthy meal. If you are staying at a Souq Waqif hotel, enjoy heading out to the bazaar and exploring, because there you will find plenty of food stalls selling crunchy falafel.
