Falafel shalom — Restaurant in Oaxaca

The setup and vibe of the place are really nice. The service was helpful, and the waitress took her time helping us out with the menu. So we were off to a good start. Unfortunately, the food was a big disappointment. The baba ganoush tasted like a bitter and heavy tahini. It was honestly inedible.The consistency of the hummus was good, but the flavour was so bland that I didn't understand I was eating hummus. The chickpeas in the middle are a nice tought, but they were cooked to hell and lost all their bite so were unpleasant and added nothing. The mixed veggies tasted and looked old and some of them were extremely salty. The tabbouleh was nothing to write home about but fine comparing to the other things served. The only thing passable on the table were the falafals themselfs: they were small but had a good crunch. I really tried to like what they served, but it was just bad. These dishes are not so difficult to prepare, so what they played up is...

I was there the other week visiting my favorite place budamar, and walked upon this kitchen at night, nothing was being served at budamar bc of a party that was pre planned. I was unaware as I showed up unannounced as usual. First I want to start with that I'm a carnivorous human, I love my blood and meat, not a big fan of vegitarian food.. But by Odin himself, this place had the best food I've had in a long time. It was amazing. I wanted to thank them the next day before I set off on my next journey but they were not open yet. If you are in zipolite, by all means get your way down this small road and enjoy their food.. omg it was incredible, the small pizza to the falafel... The sauces were amazing as well. The menu choices were incredible.. by no means they short you on anything. Can't wait to go back. I can say like 20 more amazing things but I think you all get the...

Walking around Zipolite we intuitively stumbled into Shalom. What drew us there? Very probably, the Shakshuka. But also probably, the light-hearted and deep experience we had there. The shakshuka was indeed delicious, served with a little mediterranean salad. They bake their own pita bread daily. We shared a lovely and deep conversation with Tom over fresh mint-and-cucumber lemonade and a potent Turkish coffee.

I recommend this place for those who are awake in their heart. The food and the company are great companions for those who are open to having a good time.

Toda raba, Tom! And to...
