Oh No, Rogov, tell me it isn't so! felafel hamalchot closed!

Hi Marlena,

True, QUEENS are "dead" , but rest assure there are many other 'Nouvele Falafel' joints and lots of "traditional" places to fill all your Falafel needs.

Just hop over, I'll supply you with the F-Map.

If I'm not too late, I would recommend Falafel Zohar in Haifa; it's in Mirkaz Ziv, by the Technion. Best falafel in Haifa, to my taste; their pita is also extraordinarily fresh. They don't have a huge salad selection, having recently dropped even the salt-pickled eggplants, but they are simply the best.

Additionally, the bakery in Ziv is one of the better in Haifa. The bakery in Mirkaz by the gas station -- I forget the name -- is also good.

If you're looking for good baklava and other local pastries around Haifa, the best I've found are in the Druze "village" of Daliat al'Carmel. The falafel there isn't bad, either, and is in a more Arabic style.

For sit-down traditional cuisine, Fatoush in the German Colony is your best bet. Try the limon-nana (lemonade with mint).

Welcome to eGullet michael_g!

I really hate threads like this. They make me realize, time and time again, that it's been much too long since I've been to Israel.

I'm taking notes!
