The Falafel to Rule the World

You haven't had falafel til you've been in Paris to L'As de Falafel, otherwise known as the gods of Falafel.  I thought Pita Pit was delicious, BOY, was I wrong!

   

Not only are you given a delicious warm and round pita whose light brown exterior smells of the pita made in heaven by God himself, but inside they combine the most wonderful varieties of Middle Eastern food to make your mouth water, seriously, bring a tissue to wipe it.  

*First, let me tell you, DO NOT GO THERE HUNGRY!  Go there 20 mins before you will be hungry as you will have to get a ticket to then wait in line to eat inside.  There's a nice man who points at you and says Are you American?  and then proceeds to hand you a ticket that says come back in 35 mins.  See all the people in the picture to the left?  They are waiting for the delicious falafel... Toujours Imite jamais egale (Always imitated, Never Equal) That's their motto, and it's true DO NOT be tempted by other Falafel vendors.

*Second, EAT INSIDE!  I mean it's cool to take it out (Emporter) but it's not the same joyous experience.  The atmosphere is similar to a chic citrus diner filled with bustled movements and fast talking Middle Easterners.  And the smell is out of this world....

*Don't get the lemonade, it's too expensive (4.50 euros) RIP OFF.

*Savor each delicious bit of falafel ball goodness.

Unlike any crappy thing you get in the States, these pitas are LOADED.  Enjoy at least 6 falafel balls, all lovingly cooked by the creepy guys behind the counter.  Devour the freshly grilled eggplant.  Let your mouth water with the delightfulness of the Baba Ghanoush.  Sensory overload, as you delight in the creamy hoummus texture juxtaposed against the crunchy fresh cucumber slices jumbled with red cabbage slaw.  The final topper on this Middle Eastern Ambrosia is the addition of what I can only call Tzatiki of the Gods, a Hebrew Ambrosia of sorts.  Every single bite of that delicious godly creation I can remember..... oh how I wish I were back in the Marais.  This is how you will look if you eat there...ravenous, like a wolf.  I would kill anyone who came near my pita...seriously touch my pita and die.
