Was parked at a local hospital and were taking vouchers that day. They sold me a sandwich anyway, but I think I was overcharged. I paid $10 for a falafel sandwich. I thought fries and a beverage was included (based on the menu board) but I suppose since I didn't have a voucher, that didn't apply? Nonetheless the gentleman I spoke with said he would sell me a sandwich.
On the menu was written "(vegan)" next to the falafel sandwich. I had asked if they served tzatsiki with it and the girl taking the order said yes. When I asked if the tzatziki sauce was made with real dairy or if it was vegan, I couldn't get an answer to that question. I suppose they don't know what vegan means and/or may have confused it with vegetarian. Perhaps it meant the sandwich was vegan but they included the sauce on the side. Either way I didn't think it was a difficult question. I was grateful that they sold me the sandwich, but thought they should have anticipated side business being located at such a large public space. If they didn't intend on serving the public, a sign could have been posted stating something like (hospital vouchers only) or something like that.
The sandwich was fairly tasty and basic. The falafel itself was very dry but seasoned well. The tahini sauce was more a tahini paste than a sauce, which lacked flavor and enthusiasm. It was as basic as you can get; tasted like it was taken right from the jar. The tomatoes were unripe (expected for not being in season this time of year) but the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The pita was good and ketchup bottle on the counter tells me they source at least some of their ingredients at a well known restaurant wholesale cash and carry and opted for a less than premium brand of ketchup to display. This gives me a clue as to their ingredient standards. For a falafel sandwich, it was over all decently average. I think the food itself could use some love but it wasn't a terrible experience. Its not something I'll go out of my way to try again.
