Falafel sandwich is a yummy replacement for chicken/meat shawarma and are a perfect fit for vegetarians. The fritters (falafel) are now found around the world as a replacement for meat and as a form of street food.

      Falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Falafel sandwich is a traditional Arab food, usually served in a Pita bread, which acts as a pocket, or wrapped in a flat bread known as lafa; "falafel" also frequently refers to a wrapped sandwich that is prepared in this way. The falafel balls are topped with salads, pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini-based sauces.
