King Ahiman's Lebanese Food

I heard this place had the best falafel in town from one of my patients, although that being said, his uncle was the owner so I was a bit dubious. I regularly have a massage in West End at the wonderful Skeletal Harmonics, so I was in the area to check it out. For $4 a falafel roll, it wasn't anything that was going to break my budget if I had it.

Jesus Christ, it was one of the best falafels I've ever eaten. You get about eight densely packed, super crunchy falalel with bright green insides from the parsley, pine nut and chickpea mixture that isn't too stodgy but remains very light and moist, all in one roll. The rest of the roll isn't anything fancy with some lebanese wraps, bean sprouts, grated carrot, shredded lettuce and some hummus spread across the bread to round things out, but its a thick and generously portioned roll for the cheap price of $4.

Since that one faithful day I tried it, I have not looked back and every time I get a massage, I buy myself some of these falafels as a snack.

They sell other stuff too and just as cheap, not that I care because its all about the falafel. The chicken, lamb or beef shawamas are just as cheap for only an extra $0.50, and just as generously portioned. I didn't think the garlic chicken shawama was anything to write home about but the falafels definitely are.

King Ahiram Lebanese Food
Atmosphere: 5, its a little hole in the wall restaurant. It has a few tables you can sit and have your meal at but its nothing glamorous.
Service: 5, brisk and non too friendly, you get your food and not a single smile with it. They are super quick and efficient though so that sort of balances things out.
Food: 10, best falafel ever. Disregard everything else acquire falafels.
