Now who doesn't love a good, bomb falafel to end their vegan food adventures here in Tokyo?
After a week of eating soy karaage at vegan restaurants, I decided to finally begin my shift back to western food and try Falafel Brothers. All the vegetarians and vegans online rave about this Israeli chain here in Tokyo, and I wanted to see for myself if it meets the hype.
Sure enough, it does, and it is damn good falafel!
My friend and I split a couple of set plates with each other (each around ¥1500):
* Hummus - a beautifully crafted, creamy, and perfected hummus topped with roasted chickpeas and served with pita
* Brother's Falafel Salad - crispy falafels over a bed of greens and mixed with veggies of your choosing from their bar. Top it with their spicy tahini
* Falafel Sandwich - the classic pita sandwich that we all love with their famed falafels
I loved each of the plates above and it was all incredibly filling too. On the side, we had their Mesh Fries and Lotus Fries - both of which were the perfect, crispy carb companion to the falafels. The side portions were fairly small so it was okay that we had three orders.
After our big dinner, we couldn't leave without trying their desserts. We had their Ice-Crookie (¥650), Brownie with Whip (¥580), and Pecan Pie (¥580). Was it overkill? Sure. Was it delicious? Heck yes! Everything we ordered was fantastic and the perfect way to end our meal.
The staff here were incredibly friendly. Everyone spoke English which reflected the foreign clientele inside. They helped me walk through each of our options and recommended certain ways to dress up our meals without hesitation.
Special shoutout to the team for the amazing food, and also to our bartender Anna! I'm glad that your kiwi self can appreciate my obnoxious American self through the power of vodka shots. Hugs and kisses to you all!
