Legend has it falafel was born in Egypt 🇪🇬 centuries ago, a humble, meat-free dish made with fava beans during Lent. As it traveled across the Middle East, chickpeas took over, and falafel became a golden, crispy favorite tucked into warm pita with tahini and veggies 🥙✨ From Cairo to Beirut to Austin, falafel has always been about bringing people together over simple, delicious food ❤️
