Kareem's
Included In
You’ll find falafel on just about every restaurant menu in Little Arabia, but if you want the best of the best, it’s at Kareem’s. The homey counter-servicer spot has been in business since the mid-90s and is still cranking out crunchy, cilantro-heavy falafel that’ll make you realize how much mediocre falafel you’ve eaten over the years. Absolutely come to Kareem’s and get the falafel a la carte, but we prefer ordering them as a falafel bowl with lettuce, rice, avocado, hummus, croutons, and pickled onions. For $13, it’s one of our favorite quick lunches in town.
