Eli Falafel Jiujiang Rd - 上海市

The food at this restaurant was fantastic, with authentic Middle Eastern flavors that remind me of home. I'm happy I discovered this place and will definitely return, despite the slightly higher prices for the portion size.

Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the lack of local patrons; it was a fully westernized establishment with English-speaking staff. I ordered the vegetable combo and a falafel wrap. I mistakenly assumed the combo came with a variety of dips, but you have to choose just one. I opted for hummus, which was delicious, but I was surprised to find out that the pita bread came at an additional cost. The veggies alone were not filling enough. The falafel wrap was fresh and tasty, though I was unsure if the sauce was vegan. Despite the slightly higher prices compared to other places, the overall experience was enjoyable and the flavors were exceptional.

I ordered fries which were amazing, even though they came with a large scoop of mayonnaise on the side. The babaganoush was delicious and creamy, served with toasted thin bread and a falafel wrap that was large, filling, and tasty. I will definitely return to this restaurant. However, the opening time was incorrect, as I arrived at 10 AM to eat early but was told they actually open at 11 AM. When I returned at 11 AM, the food was perfectly fresh and delicious. I was the first customer there, but the place quickly filled up.

We had the Baba Ghanouge (which comes with hot puff bread) and I had a falafel pizza (the sauce on top is tahini). Really filling, we loved the Baba Ghanouge!

The food was great, real middle-east kitchen, taste of home. I'm glad I found this place, I'll be here definitiw, although the prices are a little expensive for what they get.
