"Falafill bills itself as a from-scratch kitchen, and the effort shows in the fresh and authentic panoply of salads and spreads at its mezza bar. Even more impressive, though, is that the falafel balls are perfectly crispy on the outside and nutty, well mashed, and not too soft on the inside. Plus, the pita here boasts a crispy-then-chewy texture. Verdict: This flavorful wonder is Chicago’s best."
