Falafel Home — Restaurant in Oxford

What a little gem of a find.

I’m staying at a guesthouse on Abingdon Road for work and really couldn’t be arsed to walk all the way back to the city centre for beer and food. Cue a quick Google search which presented me with this.

I popped to the White House for a quick “aperitif”, sneaking out 15 minutes before I had finished to place my order at Falafel House (virtually next door). I opted for a falafel and baba ganoush wrap and a chicken shawarma - both of which were delicious and very generous in size. In fact, the falafel was probably the best I’ve ever eaten.
