King Falafel (Oslo, Norway)

Brugata 3, 0186 Oslo, Noway

 

King Falafel is a small place behind the Central Station, which serves almost only falafel sandwiches with a few sides. There are five different sandwich options, all falafel with something added (e.g. baba ganoush, frieds, humus). The owner does not speak English, you can only pay by card, and all the other clients are Arab.

 

I get the Falafel med Humus (NOK 79 or ~$9), which is 4-5 quite big falafels wrapped with humus, parsley, pickle, tomato, red onion, mint and tahini. It doesn’t look too fresh, but it is both big and tasty. The falafel are crispy and the flavors are authentic Middle Eastern.

 

VERDICT: 87/100

This is both a very good falafel and a pretty cheap meal by Oslo standards.
