The Husband rolls his eyes whenever I say I’m going to buy my favorite cheap eat: falafels, from the store right across the street. I don’t know what is it about these Middle Eastern balls that make them so addicting.
But for 1 AED for 3 pieces of filling crispy vegetarian yet not-so-healthy, deep-fried garlicky and secret spiced chick pea balls, it ain’t bad at all for people like the meantime-housewife-me on a meager budget.
I’ve been going to this falafel joint for months ever since I’ve landed here in Dubai. Never a week passes by without my fill of this Middle Eastern street food treat, so I am obviously a loyal customer. Whenever I drop by I get the standard free 1-piece of falafel and a friendly “how are you?” plus a charming smile from the Arab staff. Regulars get freebies all the time, right?
But I didn’t think all regulars do get some serious pick-up lines until last night…
