My Friend Felafel

Dear Everyone,

I'd like to introduce you to one of my closest friends: Felafel (Falafel in Arabic)

We've known each other since I was on exchange in Israel last year and we've been inseparable ever since.

Whilst I've never been brave enough to attempt these balls of fried chickpea goodness, I'm a huge fan of any Middle Eastern eatery where it's on the menu.

Last weekend I ventured to North Bondi's 'Sabbaba' restaurant - which according to my fellow Hebrew classmates boasted the best Felafel in Sydney. Interestingly, 'Sabbaba' is the Hebrew slang word for 'great' or 'cool' (Fun Facts with Heath!)

I absolutely needed to try it for myself! And let me say, it did NOT disappoint!

Ordinarily I'd opt for a Felafel in a Pita bread pocket... but the selection of fresh and delicious-looking sides enticed me too greatly, so I went for the Felafel plate.

For roughly $9, what a feast!

Try it out for yourselves at:

Glick's Bakery: Heaven on Earth

Glick's!

Until you've been there and tried something from their extensive range of Bagels, Pastries or Challah, you can't quite appreciate how good it is.

I can't vouch for any of the other Glick's stores since I've only been to the one in Bondi. But if that's anything to go off, then I'm sure the others are fantastic too.

As soon as you walk in, it's wall-to-wall bagels and baked goods, with a modern polished wooden interior. 

I ordered:

- Two Chocolate 'Danishes' - this one stole my affections from the first bite

- A Twisted Doughnut 

- An Apple and Jam-filled pastry

If you asked me, "What would you give it out of 10?" I'd reply, "It's an easy 1,000,000,000 and screw your system".

The Bakery also sells a fine selection of Kosher and imported Israeli wines - which went down a treat at a Passover Dinner I attended a few days later.

Glick's has become quite the institution, being one of Sydney's only - and biggest - Kosher bakeries. The Bakery comes complete with a largely Jewish clientèle, including several Rabbis.
