Falafel and More — Restaurant in Colchester

Stumbled across this place whilst taking a walk. Grabbed a falafel wrap, portion of meat kubba.

After a short wait, the food came. This was really tasty. Enjoyed the crispyness of the falafel with the other condiments. The balance of the flavours and everything else was just right. The sauce inside the wrap was the right amount and salad too.

Taking a bite into the kubba and this was really tasty too. Loved the flavours, well cooked and so moreish. A really satisfying meal for lunch.

Encouraged by this, we grabbed some maamoul and sesame biscuits to go. These are perfect with a cup of tea. Prepared perfectly. The maamoul has a decent amount of dates inside and the biscuit is crumbly too. The sesame biscuits was lovely and perfect with some nuts in there too.

This place is a low-key gem of a place and would recommend anyone looking for some authentic...

My Wife is British and we just recently moved to the UK in April as a retired Nashville Police Detective i have eaten all over the world! No where have I had Syrian dishes as good! The Pride the owner has in pleasing customers with home made food he makes himself is humbling! The Hummus is so creamy and smooth you have to taste it to understand how good it is for your self. Quality and Quantity! Uk Pubs and Restaurants would do well to try to match the large portions! Most of the Pubs and 90 percent of the restaurants would never make it in the USA with their small portions! We would not put up with it! So far it seems only Middle Eastern eateries serve decent portions of food! Even Indian restaurants are stingy with their portions? Pubs have really Fallen in Quality food since the 1970s Shame! This Restaurant we will keep...

This is one of those rare, secret gems—authentic Syrian cuisine, made with care, and the tradition of hundreds of years. Falafel and More is proper soul food. Rich, healthy, and delicious food, prepared with the most modest ingredients.

When I arrived, I asked Marwan, "Can you please put together a serving you'd suggest?" Without any hesitation, his eyes glowed with delight. They showered our table with a spread—though he was feeding his own family.

The small restaurant radiated with the sun that afternoon. Still, it was the warmth, pride, and love this little Syrian restaurant brings to communities like Colchester that stayed with me as I wrote this the day after.

Thank you, Falafel and More. We'll see you...
