The green falafel and spinach &amp; mushroom falafel were tasty, but the roasted red pepper falafel was hands down my favorite. It&#8217;s not spicy on the first bite, but the heat slowly sneaks up on you.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item
