The Falafel Bar is located inside the Expo Market on Main Street between Tupper and Chippewa in downtown Buffalo. It's my first encounter at this walk up counter restaurant. Things got off to a slow start. The staff were busy in the kitchen so they didn't see me at first however, the employees from the taco place next door let them know I was there. It wasn't a problem at all and they were apologetic for the wait. The food as it turned out was very good. The menu on the chalkboard behind the counter was large and contains a multitude of wraps, salads sandwiches and burgers.

I had the Three Sisters Wrap it was delicious. The fried eggplant was a good compliment to the flavorful gyro meat and hummus. The tahini rounded out the sandwich nicely. Next I had the lentil soup which was full of lentil but lacks a stronger broth feeling. It seems watery but filling nonetheless. I added a side of souvlaki chicken meat and that was a grilled marinated moist enjoyable end to a very good meal.
All in all a good experience! The Expo has five restaurants in all and I intend to return frequently. La divina taco heaven is right next door to the falafel bar and i have always enjoyed their fare. read more
