Amir's Falafel Los Angeles

Founded in 1982, Amir’s Falafel was the first LA eatery in the San Fernando Valley to sell the Mediterranean favourite: the falafel and the grilled chicken shawarma . Over the last 40 years, They have perfected their recipes and have grown a sizable following who keep coming back for their unique take on Mediterranean cuisine. The origins of their recipes start in 1920’s Jerusalem, where Naomi Amir perfected her falafel recipe and opened a restaurant with her husband, Chaim. The pair had a son, Yehuda, who began working in the restaurant at age six, standing on a stool to take orders. Today, her great-grandson serves the same traditional Middle Eastern cuisine—currently in Los Angeles. Bold lamb shawarma twists on the rotisserie, waiting to be sliced and piled high on a plate with yummy hummus and delicious salads. And of course, the falafel was made the same way Naomi used to make it back in Jerusalem.   What they value:   ●         Authenticity: Their original family recip
