text: After a falafel craving of nearly three weeks and extensive Yelp stalking I decided to satisfy my fix at Filfila with a friend I had high hopes for this place after reading my brothers review and hearing so many commendations for it When it comes down to it it is all about the technicalities all of which brought my high hopes to smoldering crash stop nnWhen my friend and I arrived the proprietor a very sweet older gentleman treated us like we were extended family eating in Oh sit down We ended up both ordering the falafel plate and we could see the owner promptly shaping and frying our plates Soon he brought out a plate of hummus and pita when we mentioned that we did not order it he assured us in eating it The wait was a bit on the European side lengthy but easily bearable with a few rounds of card games Very adorable may I addnnA small dish of hummus with baba ganoush in the middle with warm pita Now this man knows the way to my heart Throw in a few olives and I am in love The dips were addicting Awaiting my friends move in Goldfish I would find myself mindlessly snacking on more Oh but the falafel After twenty minutes or so five falafel disks atop a salad came out Halfway through my fix was quickly satisfied Crisp piping hot and so flavorful Egyptian style I could not tell you I was too enamored with them to noticennSo why the low rating Two reasons in particular the terrible feeling I had after the meal and a price discrepancy I was still at the table when a surge of nausea and stomach pain hit me I blamed it on the hummus but after eating leftovers of my entree the next day I immediately knew it was the falafel When my friend gave her leftovers to her boyfriend who has a stomach of steel he could not bear the aftermath of the fried chickpea madness Next we were charged for the hummus and pita that we specifically mentioned we did not order I was not about to argue extensively over it considering our two falafel plates each and the hummusbaba ganoush came out to after tax nnAn hour after leaving I was truly upset Not speaking purely on physical pain But really Do not be deceiving me in chickpea form
