Falafel Plate from Lavash Cafe

This is the falafel plate from Lavash Cafe. It's a pretty new place. I don't think they have a website, but their address is 2985 N High St in Columbus, OH 43202. A strange location, in my opinion, because it is very close to Aladdin's, another Mediterranean restaurant.

Interesting story about ordering this meal. They have a vegetarian menu posted...

Me: Can you tell me which items on the vegetarian menu are also vegan?
Cashier: *Confused look*
Me: Is the falafel plate vegan?
Cashier: I'm not sure because I don't know what that means.
Me: Oh, I don't eat any animal product. Like no meat, milk, eggs, honey...
Cashier: Oh, okay. Let me go find out.

I was told that the falafel plate was vegan, so I ordered it. I'm pretty sure the cup in the middle of that plate is yogurt dressing, though. Unfortunately I'm not sure that my question was answered correctly. There is always some faith and trust involved when someone else is preparing my food. Before I return, I'll have to make some phone calls to ensure that the food is, indeed, vegan.

On to the food, though. The falafel was good. It was what I would expect from falafel. The hummus was very good, nice and creamy and not too oily (I ate around the olive in it, though). The food at the bottom of the plate is called a lavash salad. It's an exclusive dish to Lavash Cafe and as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it. It was made of vegetables and parsley covered in tahini and lemon juice. It was not a good flavor combination and the texture weirded me out. I would recommend avoiding it if you go to Lavash.

Lavash Cafe is a bit cheaper than Aladdin's, so there is good reason for going back again. I've only had the one meal from them, but I think the food at Aladdin's is better. The inside of Lavash is pretty cool looking, though. I like the vibe :D
