3 minutesHigh in flavor and highly favored by those with a lower budget and zero tolerance for meat, The Flying Falafel stuffs its pita pockets full all day long with some fine fillings and notorious sauces. This is the small and casual order ’n’ go spot in Downtown San Francisco where popular fried chickpea balls, vegan chicken shawarma and Cajun seasoned fries reign supreme. Meatless Mediterranean wraps and plates make for lunch-hour lines worth the wait.
