If you find yourself near this quiet, immigrant enclave corner of Morris Park in the Bronx, not far from the Bronx Zoo, and feeling in need of some falafel, head for The Grill House at 1991 Bronxdale Avenue. The Grill House really fits the description of a hole-in-the-wall, with only four tables. But oh my goodness, what fine Middle Eastern food.
