Falafel That Is Still Crisp When It Reaches You

Falafel Wrap — $9.95

Wrapped in warm jasmine flatbread pita with fresh vegetables. Travels better than any other wrap on the menu.

A side order, for adding to anything else you are eating.

Why fried-to-order matters

Falafel has a short window. Straight out of the fryer the shell shatters and the inside is soft and steaming and green with parsley. Twenty minutes later, sitting in a warming tray, it is a dense ball of paste. Most falafel people have eaten was in the second state.

We fry ours when you order it. That is why it takes a few extra minutes and why it is worth the wait.

Eating vegetarian at Mirage

Falafel is the entry point, but our vegetarian menu goes well past it - which matters if you are the vegetarian in a group that is not.
