Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The red pepper hummus sauce was flavorful and paired well with the falafel, though some found the overall dish a bit bland.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to prepare, with some noting it felt like many steps but was worth the effort.
- Suggestions: Consider baking the falafel instead of frying for better texture; add onions or shallots to boost flavor.
- Portions: Many found the meal light, suggesting more couscous and an extra falafel per serving for a heartier dish.
- Texture: Some found the falafel dry or crumbly; steaming spinach with couscous creates a more cohesive bowl.
