Operation Falafel

Dubai


Despite the name, this hip home-grown chain doesn't stop at falafel, here served with a side of creamily nutty tahini or tucked into a pita or saj (flatbread) with hummus, pickles and mint leaves. Other respectable and delectable menu picks include shawarma, fattoush salad (toasted bread, tomatoes, onions and mint leaves) and zaatar manakeesh (Lebanese pizza).

There are six more branches around town, including The Beach at JBR and Downtown, both open 24 hours.
