In Search of Falafel

I am a big fan of something called a falafel. For those of you unfamiliar with this food, when I explain it, it will sound disgusting. It's ground chick-peas fried and served in a pita with toppings and a garlic/yogurt sauce.

Trust me, it's delicious. When I lived in Washington, DC, there was an amazing falafel place in our neighborhood called Amsterdam Falafel. The falafels were great and you could put tons of toppings on them. They were a little pricey. I would love to find a falafel stand where you could get one to go, wrapped in paper for like $3. Alas, I may be living on the wrong continent, I may have to settle for good $6-10 falafels at sit-down restaurants.
