All That Falafel

Falafel Perfection Near London Bridge Station

Wandering down the bustling streets near London Bridge, hungry enough to consider gnawing on my own arm, I stumbled upon a beacon of earthly delights—Saudi Eats. Yes, it's a food truck, but don’t let its modest steel shell fool you. This is where dreams become enveloped in talc-thin bread, leisurely savoury and decidedly fluttering with juicy falafel—a Middle Eastern glamour you can almost taste from across the Thames. The change in venue hasn't diminished their following, thanks largely to their mouth-watering falafel wraps and irresistible social media charm that pulls you in faster than a rabbit down a racing hole. It’s like the universe’s casual reminder that joy on a plate doesn’t have to cost next month's rent.

There’s something heartwarming about consuming a marvelously concocted wrap standing on street level, just a short nibble away from the rippling majesty of the Thames, and that’s ignoring the genuinely favourable cost—considering central London, it feels borderline philanthropic. Wrapped snugly inside are the falafel and halloumi, both fresh as a March daffodil and consistently so. Their customer-tender approach deliciously shines with generous samples doled out like confetti amidst efficient, swift service—unthinkable at the more starred Michelin spots. An originally laid-back venue blossoming upon London's dining circuits, they rival any sit-down haute cuisine with taste, filling prowess without hammering the wallet or one's schedule. Though seats might escape your desires unless you wander to their café ten minutes away, the chance to quite literally grab and go crowned undoubtedly remains unmatched. Designate this one as a decadent little diamond in a setting of fries and burgers, redundant in reviews yet constantly exclaiming “best falafel in London”—it simultaneously transfigures your mouth–and soul. — Milo Tastemaker
