What's in it? A twist on the traditional falafel -- crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. This falafel is made with slow roasted sweet potatoes, organic chick peas cooked al-dente, combined with a medley of spices that includes cinnamon and brown sugar, served inside a laffa wrap.
How much is it? $6.25
Chef Henry Nuguid says: It was an idea that came to me during a brainstorming session to introduce new unqiue flavors to our restaurant. I have always been fond of complex, unexpected flavors working together in harmony and the falafel is so traditional and unique to Mediterranean cuisine, that changing it up was a quite a challenge. We tested out several recipes with sweet potatoes in the restaurant, and the customers just ate them up (literally!) and always came back for more. That's when I knew I had found the perfect combination and the sweet potato falafel became a staple on our menu.
