RJIE: Street Falafel

I've always wondered about Street Falafel because it's in my adopted 'hood of West End. It claims to have the best falafel in Australia which is pretty much what I go to King Ahiram religiously for. The menu, available here, seems decent enough but I've always shyed away from them. I never ever seemed to see anyone there that's why!

So one day I bit the bullet and decided to try some bits and pieces from there. I got a mini chicken sharwarma plate, sharwarma marinated chicken breast, taratoor sauce, beirut fries and toum sauce with a side of fattoush salad, mixed pickles and bread. I also opted to try two falafels just to see what they were like. I didn't receive any bread which was probably good because everything else was startlingly mediocre. 

The chips were quite soggy and I couldn't detect any particular seasoning on them to differentiate them for regular fries. The chicken sharwarma was particularly dry to the point of being stringy, the falafel was dry and cold and the fattoush salad was quite soggy. The garlic toum was the tastiest part of the whole dish due to its super punchy garlic oomph. 

I regretted my choice of lunch and wish I had gotten something else.
