I was excited by what I thought would be a unique flavor in their beet falafel, but I didn’t taste anything that resembled the sweetness of beets in that little fried ball. The curry one was considerably better, if only because of the addition of the dominant curry powder flavor. The classic falafel had very little flavor, mainly just tasting like a fried ball of blandness. Unfortunately, the most important part of the falafel, the flavor, was lackluster. I’ll start with the good news the texture was great! These falafels had a really nice crispy exterior and the insides were soft, hot, and fluffy. You can also get all three of these together as their stop light option (one is green, one yellow, and the other red, get it?).
They serve three options: the classic, made with fried chickpeas the curry, spiced with curry powder and a beet one. When you put the word falafel in your name, you better produce a fine falafel, and the one here was decent at best. Unfortunately for Foxy Falafel, the quantity of the food wasn’t the only thing that this meal was lacking. We paid nine dollars for this sandwich and eleven for the salad? The portions were small and the falafel puny, but size doesn’t matter as long as the rest of the product is desirable. Upon looking at our food, we were immediately dismayed. But unfortunately, the visual appeal of Foxy Falafel was where my excitement ended. My dining companions and I were excited for our falafel. If looks were everything, this place was going to be a success. They had a delicious sounding special of pulled pork on plantain tortillas, a smallish selection of local beers from great breweries. They had a nicely written and appealing looking menu that seemed to suggest they knew what they were doing: it was well planned with just enough variety to keep things interesting and keep customers coming back. It was a small space, with only a couple of tables, but most of them were occupied. Every characteristic of the restaurant seemed to point towards the type of restaurant I would enjoy. When I first stepped in to Foxy Falafel, located at the Raymond Avenue stop on the Green Line, I was very excited.
