Falafal King 2 [17.5]

"We were there from 12-1 and we were the only people in the restaurant. Maybe people don't know about Falafal King 2. Maybe they have problems with cleanliness? Who knows, but it was keeping people away from Falafal King 2." - Mike McEvoy

Compared to Alladin's falafal, the portion size at Falafal King 2 was much larger. Unlike Aladdin, which gives you all of your food INSIDE the pita, at Falafal King 2 you got a big plate with the lamb, veggies, and rice with the pita on the side. You had to assemble the meal yourself. (As Mike said: "You had to put it together yourself, like an Ikea meal." From now on this sort of meal presentation will be referred to as "Ikea-Style".) It is pricier than Aladdin and it was less tasty than Aladdin. Falafal King 2, however, was much more Ikea-Style than Aladdin.

Everything's not lost though. The service was REALLY good. The chef even came out at one point and asked us if everything was okay. That was awesome. For those who love comparing things; when all is said and done a simple math equation can sum it up: Falafal King 2 is less than or equal to Aladdin

Value: 4
Taste: 6
Intangibles: 7.5

Total Score: 17.5 out of 30
