Tel Aviv
One of the friendliest falafel stalls in town, HaKosem (the Magician) is a popular snack stop on the corner of King George St. Aside from its trademark green, fried chickpea balls in pita, it also offers sabich (egg, aubergine and salad in pita) and shawarma (meat sliced off a spit and stuffed in a bread wrap with tomatoes and garnish).
If you’re lucky, you’ll get a free falafel ball straight from the pan while you queue: magic.
