Best Falafel in Los Angeles! - Edit

If you like herbs, spices a great blend of flavors, arugula and a nice smile, you will love Ihsan's Falafel (now called Pure Food Organic Kitchen). Amin's nailed it and his falafel is REALLY REALLY GOOD! Don't miss it! My favorite is with arugula wrapped in collards with Tahini Sauce. Ask if you can bake some at home too!

Find him on Sunday at the Mar Vista Farmer's Market in Los Angeles, California.

Hollywood Sunday Farmer's market - Edit

Really great falafel that's different than other falafels. Delicious! Got the whole wheat pita but hope to try the collard wrap another time. Found them at Hollywood Sunday farmer's market.

Pros: Delicious, Different

Cons: Hard to find info about where they'll be

Delicious! - Edit

Just found Ihsan's Falafel while wandering around the USC Farmers Market (Wednesday's 11am-3pm at the McCarthy Quad) and wow...
I saw their menu and decided to get a collard green falafel wrap and it was absolutely delicious. The pickled veggies added a nice crunch and flavor to the wrap.
It was a generous portion as well and I had not intended to eat the whole wrap but I did and I should mention that I don't feel that "sick full" feeling I normally do when I over indulge which says to me that their products are fresh and made well!
Never bringing lunch again on Wednesdays!

BEST. FALAFEL. EVER. PERIOD. - Edit

Living in Southern California, I've had the opportunity to try MANY different Mediterranean restaurants, and falafel wraps were always my favorite. But once I tried chef Amin's made-from-scratch traditional Sudanese falafel, I knew that I could never go back. These are simply the best, and now I can never eat falafel from anywhere else again.

On top of that, they're ORGANIC, VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE and MACROBIOTIC... I have bought the falafel mix from the Ihsan's Falafel cart, and am happy to report that it is very easy to make these delicious falafel at home for a quick, healthy dinner.

The spicy peanut butter sauce that they offer is also amazing. Their wraps are stuffed with Amin's personal quinoa-tabouli recipe, salad, sprouts and falafel-- making this hands-down the best pita wrap I've ever had.

I can confidently say that, unless you grew up in the Middle East as chef Amin has, you have not truly tried good falafel until you try Ihsan's.
