We lost track of time - had decided to try Hayat’s Kitchen, but couldn’t muster driving from Pasadena to there and back at rush hour. So we tried Falafel Arax. Should have braved the traffic.
Staff was marvelous, food was ready when we arrived, and it inexpensive. Fatoush salad was a bit lemony but good; same for the tabouli. Hummus was also lemony and not as smooth as I like, but decent. Babaganoush/mutabbal was slightly chunky and nicely smokey. Falafel were very salty and oil-laden, like the oil hadn’t been hot enough. I ate half of one and called it quits.
The cake, though, was good.
