Details
Perfectly crafted falafels, with an ideal taste and texture, await at Aleppo's Falafel on Cowley Road. These aren't your average dry or overly spiced offerings; here they are made just right, forming the heart of generously filled wraps packed with your choice of goodies, like courgettes or halloumi, and then expertly grilled for a delightful crispiness. This cosy, family-run Syrian eatery is a local favourite, often with a queue of regulars eager for what some call the best falafel in town. Remember to bring cash, as cards aren't accepted at this gem, where a satisfying and flavourful meal can be enjoyed for a very reasonable price, often under a fiver.
Tucked away just off the main Cowley Road thoroughfare at 116b, Aleppo's Falafel offers a warm welcome and an authentic taste of the Middle East. The staff are known for their friendly service, happy to discuss food preferences to ensure your wrap is exactly to your liking. While many grab their food to go, there are a few seats inside if you'd prefer to sit and savour your meal, and even a couple of chairs outside for sunnier days. Beyond the renowned falafel wraps, you can often buy the freshly made falafels on their own, and the menu also features salads and other Syrian delights, making it a must-visit for fresh, affordable, and truly delicious food.
