NYC's "Falafel Queen" Launches Initial Bay Area Restaurant

In the heart of Lafayette, California, a new culinary adventure awaits food enthusiasts. Chef Einat Admony, known as "the Queen of Falafel" in New York City, is debuting her Middle Eastern cuisine at Local Kitchens.

Yalla Falafel, created by Chef Admony, is now on the menu at Local Kitchens. The falafels are a sight to behold, with their signature green colour and crispy, perfectly cooked exterior. But it's not just their appearance that sets them apart. The hummus served with Yalla Falafel has cooked chickpeas mixed into it, giving it a unique texture that is a delight to the palate.

Chef Admony's food at Local Kitchens is made from scratch, ensuring every bite is as flavourful and authentic as possible. The Yalla Falafel plate includes Moroccan carrots, pickled cabbage, sumac red onions, arugula, green s'chug (spicy), shipka pepper, lemon tahini, pita bread, and various dipping sauces. The author found the Yalla Falafel to be delicious, even when not expecting a vegan meal.
