The Egyptians knew of delicacy a 1,000 years before us, and it has been travelling  across the Mediterranean ever since. Falafel has come a long way from being an exotic Middle Eastern delicacy to a quick and filling snack that thrives across Mumbai’s eateries.

The deep-fried fritter made of ground beans or chickpeas, served in an assorted platter, with a variety of breads — pita, samoon or tamoon, it is the perfect snack for a busy city. In 2012, food critic Ben Lang laid the foundation for International Falafel Day where he invited people to snack on the dish morning, afternoon and night. If you plan to do the same, you might want to take your pick from our list of falafel hotspots in the city.
