London's "Secret" & Very Small Falafel Wrap Shop: Fresh Made Egyptian Street Food in Shepherds Bush.

This is Shepherds Bush's "Best Kept Secret" Falafel Wrap place: i.e the people who need to know, know about it !!! The other people carry on going to get their falafel wraps from starbucks and pret a manger.
The shop is simply named "Falafel" and is located in Shepherds Bush and is very close to the famous Westfield shopping mall.
This tiny compact shop can probably count itself amongst some of the smallest falafel wrap shops of this world, it is absolutely tiny; but everything required is in place to produce some of the most delicious falafal wraps around.
There is no secret to the recipe & preparation because Chef Alaadin makes everything in full view of you.
The wrap is filled with: Hummus, Gherkins (Cucumbers which are Pickled Egyptian style in Garlic & Salt), Tomato, Lettuce, Homemade Chilli Sauce, Tahini and of course the freshly made Falafel.
What elevates the falafal wrap to a higher level is the addition of the chef's very own "secret recipe" dry sprinkle mix called "Doqqa. Further flavour is added with a generous drizzle of the chef's home made salad dressing.
What makes the pure vegan & vegetarian wrap such a treat is that the falafels are made to order and the flat breads (almost like an Indian style naan bread or roti) are tawa grilled so it's served hot.
The falafel wraps are served in two sizes:
Medium = £3.00 (Flatbread used is like a Saj bread)
& Large = £4.00 (Flatbread used is similar to a tortilla)
The falafel shop opens 7 days a week at lunch time and is located outside Shepherds Bush Underground Station.
The chef Alaadin has run the shop now for 7 years.
(Video recorded on Friday 12th May 2017).
Guinness World Records hasn't verified or confirmed whether this shop is the smallest falafel wrap shop in the whole wide world...........do you think you can find smaller???
I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

[@BenRitchieMcWrath]

[@mwarrior2008]

Absolutely massive portion for 4 quid in London!!! Full credit to the guy,. he seemed passionate and knew what he was doing and used mostly homemade ingredients.

[@Billzloveschelsea]

2.50 in my area lol

[@nadyalouise]

At first i thought this old man talks too much but then i realized he is so passionate on what he is doing, that is making his falafel, homemade with all the fresh ingredients spices and herbs. I would love to go eat this someday. Good job for this falafel man

[@frankiegregoriou2271]

Come on man you are spoiling the market that wrap should be at least £7 , you put fries also and the tahini sauce, you will never make money

[@Billzloveschelsea]

[@gowrir6686]

I can say this falafel is the best compared to others because of the amount of sauce.

[@RyanX1899]

Is the shop still around? Noticed this video is 3 years old. Hopefully he wasn't impacted by covid etc.

Thank you very much for your comment. Do you serve vegetarian food?

[@hithere718]

Is he cook or nutrition expert?

[@MumbaikarSid]

thanks for this video Sir ☺

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

This is what is your speed how you will make up your family....

[@Ash_G]

3:15 Why don't they make the falafel balls by hand or ice-cream scooper? Does it lose its name or authenticity if you don't use that falafel key?

[@galaxymoon3920]

when you make 200 ball at 10minutes this is the fastest way here in west they eat only sandwiches required 4 balls while in east they eat falafel along with hummus so they consume more

[@mahmoudsamir7849]

Firstly, speed, secondly, uniformity of quantity, thirdly, so that it is fragile and that no air escapes from it while pressing it by hand

[@amitdaswani6922]

Please help him to enlarge his container so he has some space to move around

[@entertainmenttime8238]

Ur bengali so why put ur u tube name under travel to India. I am not u

[@lydiapetra1211]

Wow...that falafel wrap looked very yummy....so he crushed the falafel so the sauce can permeate it?? Beautiful food.... what did the vinegar n herbs taste like? Thanks so very much for sharing with us!!!

He needs to up his rate of production, 10min to make a silly wrap, needs to start knocking them out in 4min max. And WAY to much chit chat.

[@macbaar]

Its his shop he is the boss and he decides about his biz...btw small talk is PR - do you never ask about your food yre paying for? I could serve you a week old dead cat meat and... wth writing this rep to you is more time waste than his small talk....

[@angelsharma4944]

Lolz macbaar...exactly what I thought bout negative remark....some ppl just don't have a clue 👋🏾 throwing unnecessary shade 😂
