Fala Bar

It’s easy to miss this hole-in-wall falafel counter in West Hollywood, but you’ll want to keep that GPS on hand because these cats serious about their fried balls. Fala Bar’s 100% vegan menu embraces the full potential of the powerful chickpea, offering five different types of falafel—from the crunchy and savory original to more adventurous flavors like sweet potato, spicy and kale. The Fala sandwich ($8) is served as falafel, hummus, Israeli salad, cabbage and tahina stuffed in a soft pita. As far as ingredients go, Fala Bar is kosher, but sticklers should know that they’re open on shabbat.
