"The legendary kosher pita spot’s Clerkenwell location on Leather Lane is a godsend for any lunchtime falafel enthusiasts. The falafel—crisp and fresh out the fryer, fluffy inside, and steaming with green herbiness and spices—is paired with a combination of fruity amba, punchy zhug, and cooling tahini, and carefully packed inside a steaming, pillow-y pitta. It’s pretty much takeaway-only (save for a window counter you can lean up against), but in our experience nothing from Balady, whether it’s a pitta, sabich, or hand-cut chips, lasts too long anyway. It’s that good." - Team Infatuation
