BRIAN'S 100 Best '18 Falafel

100 BEST ’18: MIDDLE EASTERN PLATE at QUEEN OF FALAFEL

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

Freshness is the main word at the hipster centric Queen of Falafel. I couldn’t get over how bright and fresh this platter of food was – from the Arabic salad, creamy labne cheese, hummus, tahini, richly charred smoky eggplant slices, and perfectly fried green falafel. The hipsters are getting it right out in Bushwick! Price: $12
