I had such a great experience at Da Crispy Chickpea! This is a newly opened spot, and the Jordanian owner, Odai, was incredibly kind and welcoming!! You can immediately tell how much he genuinely cares about the quality of the food and making every customer feel at home. I’m Palestinian and grew up eating homemade falafel made by my family, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to authentic Middle Eastern food. I can honestly say the falafel here compares…it was fresh, flavorful, perfectly crispy, and tasted just like the kind I grew up with. I ordered the falafel wrap, and it was absolutely amazing. As a vegetarian it’s always exciting to find authentic high quality food like this. Thank you so much Odai, for the wonderful meal and your hospitality. I wish you and your new restaurant all the success—you’ve definitely earned a returning customer!
