Ah falafel! Back in central New Jersey, there used to be a Jerusalem Pizza in Highland Park (across the Raritan River from New Brunswick) on Raritan Ave. They’re closed Saturdays, of course. But, if it’s Israeli-style falafel you crave, it was almost as good as some of the places (most of which had the same moniker) I remember in Brooklyn. They had all kinds of side salads such as eggplant (Spanish and Greek), hummus (which is classified as a salad), olive salads, etc. And, naturally, they were kosher (dairy) complete with pizza though you won’t find any pepperoni! I say that in the past tense since we haven't been down there in a couple of years. I wonder if they’re still in business. The supermarket stuff doesn't quite match what you can get in a restaurant (in most cases). However, if you're forced into supermarket-fare, we’ve found that the Sabra brand is the best for hummus, tehina, and other salads. Cedars brand which seems to be ubiquitous in the markets taste more like rancid mayonnaise by comparison.
