So apparently everyone and their mom has reviewed the Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Adams Morgan. I walked out of there Friday night saying ‘goddamn, someone should do a review of that place’ and was promptly informed that everyone has.

Well, if we can’t be original, at least allow us to be vocal. This is the best Falafel I’ve ever had and baby I’ve eaten falafel in some strange places. The chickpea balls (crunch patties!) are a meal of themselves, the pita toasted, and everything available in small and regular, both of which are actually large. The toppings bar contains old favorites like tomato salad, tahini, and hummus, and more unusual ones like beets and some great spicy green stuff.

The sign on the menu promises no pot in any of the food. The people behind the counter are so friendly you don’t want to leave.
