Falafel King

Did you know that you can actually get falafel in kebab shops? I would never go near a kebab shop. It’s less about the disgusting slab of god knows what dead animal on a stick and more about the disgusting god knows which interior designer threw all over this pathetic excuse for a restaurant. That said Falafel King is Notting Hill’s answer to, well a vegetarian kebab shop, and suffice to say it’s rather nice. I don’t usually get excited about falafel – other than drunken hippies who does? (And people who think they are being healthy… since when has deep frying anything been healthy?) But this falafel is so good that it’s the place I inevitably go for lunch when trawling through the antique shops of Portobello Road on a Saturday looking for pocket watches to add to my ever growing collection.
