Falalel plate (Lunch C)

Falafel is a deep-fried ball made from ground chickpeas.

The falafels are so popular that foreigners who visit say, “It’s the most delicious falafels I have ever had!”

You must try it!

Falafels

At this restaurant, chickpeas are blended together with the skin, so you can get plenty of dietary fiber!

You can order just the falafels or with pita or rice as you like.

I ordered falafels with rice.
Rice is low in fat, so I recommend for those who care about calories in deep-fried food.

Feshly cooked falafels are crispy on the outside with a fluffy center.
Although they use lots of spices, the seasoning matches for Japanese, and it goes perfectly with tomato sauce!
You can eat lots of rice with this.

Vegetable soup is also an intricate dish made from carefully selected ingredients.

Vegetable soup (winter only)

A seasoning, which bring out the flavor of the ingredients, makes me relaxed with a hint of parsley spreads softly in my mouth.

The vegetables in the salad are fresh and crispy! It is a satisfying taste without dressing.
Full of vegetables make me happy.
I am so satisfied with the lunch set.

You can choose chicken kabab instead of falafels for lunch set.

Chikenkabab pitasand

* Chicken kabab with rice (instead of pita) is also available.
