Forum Falafel Fest - 14th Sept

All the best rides start with an idea like this:
A falafel-crawl round London's famous London, sampling minimum one falafel per shop per person
Afterwards we will have a vote and decide the greatest shop of all.

Date: TBC but in September please as I'm on holiday until then. Maybe a weeknight? Friday?

Tagging all the people that sounded interested: @Thrasher @MCamb @eyebrows @Tenners

Friday before the first tramp outing? Fucken love flaffel

Shepherd's Bush market. Mr Falafal is a must. And the 6 balls for a quid offer at a nearby Lebanese? Supermarket.

Can I request an overall group ranking for the sake of non-Londoners like myself? So when I visit I know where to go :)

Great idea though.

Sounds fantastic, if I'm in London when it happens I'm in.

Sounds fab as long as I'm free and in town.

yeah good point:

provisional date: FRIDAY 14th SEPTEMBER
aka the night before the inaugural lfgss bikepacking expedition

This is relevant to my interests.

Oh FFS. Am away all September.
Both things I wanted to do.
Always away for the good rides.

6 balls for a quid

U wut

Also in for falafel and tramp

That’s standard pricing!

Maybe in whatever utopia you guys are from! Although my son’s been getting a freebie falafel every time we go to falafel Camberwell for the past 10 years so I guess that makes up for it :).

good investement as he’s now got a fan for life!

Not met many/any peeps from here yet but would be mad keen to get involved?

again - yes, come along!

hey - sorry to see you miss both
let's go for a ride in october - how about that oxfordshire lanes thing you were mentioning?
hope you have a nice sept

In.

Yup. 2 dayer? I will ride the BMW or something equally unsuitable.

yeehaa!

In with all salad, garlic sauce, chili sauce.

Awesome, already looking forward

So my suggestions are, in no particular order:

1. 6 for £1 balls at Red Sea, Edgware Road (just past Church St).
   
2. http://www.freshfalafel.co.uk/ (North end road market)
   
3. Church St Market guys (but you won't see them because they're gone by 5.
   
4. A quick Manaqish b'Zatar at the place at the end of Church st market (again shuts early- but a great breakfast for £1.
   
5. Green valley for variety and late night.
   
   
   

Then for dessert:

1. Knafeh at either iBaklawa (top of Edgware Rd), or at Al hamidiah.
   
2. Green Valley for moar Baklawa than you could ever imagine.
   
3. Diwan Dimas for Syrian Ice cream.
   

much mouth wateringness

Interested! Will be joining if that happens on 19th of Sept or later as I am on holiday until 18th
