About Our Falafel

Falafel done right needs to be crispy on the outside and light and herby on the inside — and that only happens when it is fried fresh. At Al Taj we prepare our falafel from ground chickpeas, fresh herbs and traditional spices, then cook each batch to order so it reaches your plate hot and crunchy.

Have it rolled into a wrap with pickles, fresh vegetables and creamy tahini, or choose the falafel platter with hummus, salad and warm pita for a complete vegetarian meal. Every option is halal and made in-house.

"Finally, falafel in Winnipeg that's actually crispy! You can tell it's made fresh — green and fluffy inside with tons of herb flavour. The tahini sauce is perfect."
