Falafel Republic

I eat here at least once per week when I'm in Ashland (and I actually live in Ashland). All things considered, it is my favorite place in town (granted, I hate most Ashland restaurants). But really, this is great and it is among the extremely short list of go-to places for vegetarians/vegans. Bonus: Their fries are to die for. Note: Get the fries! And if you don't like fries, then still get the fries. One can definitely find better falafels in the Middle East, New York or London, but I'm pretty sure not in Ashland; possibly not in Oregon. Their in-store-baked pitas are great. And the owner and workers are very nice--which definitely makes it stand out from other Ashland eateries, IMO. Anyway, I love the place! (Could even love them a tad more if they would turn the damned music and air conditioning down a notch).
