the kings of falafel

I usually look upon kebab shops with disgust, and if I do find myself inevitably loitering in one after a night on the tiles, I almost always settle upon what I see as the only safe option - chips. However, this changed when I moved up the road to Stoke Newington and happened to be conveniently situated by The Best Turkish Kebab (http://www.bestturkishkebab.com/index3.html) a Stokey institution situated on the main high street. I knew it was a winner as soon as I moved in and saw a bundle of people spilling out of the doorway and onto the pavement at all hours of the day and night! I can't say I ever try the donor meat as its never appealed (and don't honestly know why anyone would order it, but each to their own and all) but falafel in a wrap is my fail-safe choice. Full of chickpea goodness, oozing houmous, tonnes of salad and a generous smattering of chilli sauce - truly amazing! You can even buy vine leaves and rice pudding, which to me is a sign of a superior kebab house. Their chicken shish looks good too - cooked fresh when you order! I could watch the men behind the counter for ages, seamlessly moving around preparing the orders without forgetting a thing and not a dot of grease anywhere on their brilliant white t-shirts. I love them, as does my sister who had a falafel wrap two days in a row and they now wave at her when she walks past. God knows what I will do if I move as I don't feel any kebab house can compare.
