The Best Falafels in Bahrain?

Could this spot serve the best falafels in Bahrain? Head to this small, cafe for freshly made cheap eats to indulge in.

Falafel Gaza

Peeps…grab your car keys, put your comfy sweats on and head to Exhibition Road…

Falafel Gaza hands down has some of the best falafels on the island! These little crunchy, freshly made balls of deliciousness are worth the trip to Gudaibiya alone. 

Then add into your order their crispy Chicken Msakhan rolls, pillowy warm bread, Manakeesh and some creamy Hummus…and well you can see why I instructed you to wear your loungewear.

Sip on a Karak tea while you wait, and it’ll be hard to spend more than 3 bd pp here.

They have a few tables outside, so you can watch the passers-by, enjoy the still-just-about-cool weather, and then head home for a much-deserved lie down #SelfCare right?

Sidenote: Just outside their front door there is a fridge to feed the hungry and those in need. What an amazing gesture, well done Falafel Gaza.

And note, they have more traditional hours so they shut in the afternoon before opening again for evening service. Do check their google business info for exact timings.
