Ever wondered what the food from the spot with flashing lights is at the far end of Meridian was like? One word: DELICIOUS!

Falafel Feast is all things pita, schwarma, hummus and-you guessed it-falafel (plus more)! Deliciously spiced, perfectly roasted, this spot is a silent sleeper when it comes to Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, and is so worth the trek to the north side of town if you're not just around the corner.

What We Enjoyed:
🍴 Schwarma Plate
🍴 Falafel Pita
🍴 Fries
🍴 MidEast Chopped Salad

Find it at 4370 Meridian Street in North Bellingham to try it for yourself!
