Falafel Gourmet - Nelson

The restaurant serves a large pita filled with delicious ingredients. The falafel is outstanding, and you can customize the spice level to your liking. It exceeded my expectations. The vegan option is referred to as vegetarian falafel.

This family-owned restaurant has been serving customers for over 20 years. They enjoy chatting with customers about where they come from, especially those who come to try their delicious pitas (when they're not too busy). The tahini sauce on the pitas is a personal favorite.

While the dining experience at this restaurant may not be innovative or daring, the food was surprisingly fresh. It was the first time I had encountered tasty falafel in New Zealand. Although I'm sure there are other great falafel spots in the country, I may have just been unlucky in the past. Regardless, the texture and flavor at this restaurant were excellent.

We ordered the vegetarian falafel pita which is actually vegan, $16 for a large. Yummy fresh flavours.

Very delicious Falafel Pita and Platter which can be made Vegan without Yoghurt but with Hummus, Tahini and Chili/Tomato Sauce.
