Reviews from our home cooks
Such an amazing, quick recipe! Falafel was spicy and the creamy Greek sauce was so delicious. Will order this every time it is an option!
First time for this one. Have never had Falafel before? There was a ton of spinach, which I love anyway, so just saved the leftover to add to another salad for later. I toasted the pita and put the herb garlic butter on both pitas but because I want to savor all the garlic butter & falafel, I put the cooked falafel inside the 2 pitas and cut in quarters to eat like sandwiches with the salads. I will return to this one again.
I like salads with lots of toppings and the falafel power bowl was very satisfying...and filling!
Delicious and healthy meal. The falafel was very flavorful. Super quick and easy to make.
Really delicious! The creamy dressing was so good and I felt full and satisfied after I ate it. Never had falafel before and it was very good. I would order again for sure.
We used half of the dill, as dill isn't my favorite- but this was a really great meal. Great flavor, easy to prepare, everything was fresh. The falafel were good- not mealy or dry. The only change I would make would be to include about half as much spinach- there was more than we could manage to finish. Would definitely order again!
Most of us thought this was a competition for making the best bite of food. We'd never tried falafel before and LOVED IT. My husband (who we refer to as 'Tex') wasn't thrilled, but we couldn't hear him over all the yummy noises we were making! The sauce and hummus were spot-on and the falafel was out of this world delicious! Garlic butter pitas? Our new favorite thing. We actually added a handful of shredded carrot to our salad (I have one who believes it's not dinner without carrots in the salad) and everybody insisted we get it again in a couple weeks (except Tex, who can microwave himself some chicken nuggets). I didn't even have enough left over to take for lunch the next day!
My husband likes this one. I cooked the falafels in the air fryer, super easy.
This is so simple but such a fresh salad. I'm surprised however that I wasn't asked to make the falafel by hand.
Pretty good, but the falafel balls were kind of dry and there wasn't nearly enough dressing for the amount of spinach
