They are indeed very good and crispy! But they are deep-fried, and I usually
don't eat them on their own but rather in pitta bread and some kinds of
salad, so such a meal contains lots of calories... I have falafel
balls/patties once in a while, but it's just a matter of eating them in
moderation, grin.

I did not realize they were very fatty! They are fried, crispy, little very
small fish cakes; they have 'em here in OK at Greek restaurants, called on
menu falafel sandwiches. Nice and crispy!
And crisp good. I love them!!!

Hi Charles,
Falafel is a typical Midle Eastern street food. The falafel balls are made
of chick peas and are usually served in pitta bread with pickles, tehina
and
vegetable salad or fresh cabage. It's very delicious, but also very
fatty.:)
Hope this helps.
All best,
Shira.
