Falafel is very old traditional dish and sandwich at the Middle-East, some say the name Felafel, but I prefer Falafel as we originally pronounce it.

Falafel is originally made for sandwiches, and here in the US served now in a plate with the sauce and vegetables all comes separately. what's in the sandwich, and what made it so great! Normally couple pieces of "Felafel", Tahini sauce, parsley, tomato and left"pickled turnip" the last item people some times eat it on the side.
