falafel express opens its doors: weekdays only for now

Falafel ExpressFalafel Express (Glatt Kosher) opened its doors this past Wednesday, adding some activity to an otherwise vacant stretch of Spring Street between 4th and 5th streets.

Their small menu offers Mediterranean food standards like falafel, shawarma, kabob, salads, hummus and dips.

For now the Historic Core space will be open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm — but plans call for expanded hours after two months, according to restaurant partner Bobby Shethia.

I wish them luck. That’s a tough spot, it is always blocked by film crews. I’ll check it out this week.

Shall people heretofore refer to it as “Fal-Ex?” :)

I’ve cruised by here a couple of times, all of them after hours, sigh. I want falafel!

“Glatt Kosher” = “strictly kosher, no really, we are really ultra-mega-serious about it”.

Just in case anyone was going to ask.

Had lunch there yesterday with some co-workers since it’s across the street from our building. We had the schwarma and a grilled chicken pita sandwich with potato latkes. Thumbs up!
