"Shimi Kahn first built a reputation with his fantastic food truck before taking Falafel Salam brick-and-mortar in West Seattle last year. He does a hefty takeout business, especially at dinner time, but there’s never much of a wait at the counter-service style restaurant. Can’t decide from among the enticing menu of pita wraps and salads? Pick The Hesitator, which scores you a selection of falafel, chicken shwarma, lamb gyro, Arab salad, purple slaw, pickled veggies, organic hummus, dolma, tahini, and homemade pita. Kahn makes his own pickles with seasonal produce, bringing Seattleites a taste of a Middle Eastern staple sorely missing at most other restaurants in this category." - Megan Hill
