Falafel Gourmet — Restaurant in Nelson

Cruel and cold-blooded. I sat by the street outside this shop with a coffee and pastry while waiting for my partner to arrive for the falafel he'd been craving. The restaurant owner came out immediately with an extremely rude temperament asking why I was sitting at his restaurant.

I'd say it's a Michelin star worthy restaurant. The boss man is really friendly holding the shop by himself yet he spent time decorating a $3.50 cake, can feel his passion about food. Must try if you pass...
