Shaloha

Had a service call to W&M Burgers and their lot was full with delivery trucks so I ended up parking on the side street that goes by St. Louis Drive In. Walking back and in the small collection of shops on the corner across from St. Louis this shop Shaloha caught my eye. Signage indicated Middle eastern cuisine, I was intrigued. The two other customer eating were of that region so I took it as a good sign. I had lunch waiting back at the office but conveniently I needed to suppliment it. Decided to get a side order of falafel, not having had any before. While I waited, dude assembling the food gave me a sample of their pita with a generous dab of hummus. Good stuff, the pita is fresh made on premise, a great balance of chewyness and fluffyness. It’s their signature item. The falafel was pretty good, these deep fried chickpea balls were actually pretty light on flavor, needed the dipping sauce provided. Nice texture of crunch on outside, and a hearty, almost meatball like texture inside. This place will definitely need furthur exploration and try of their main entrees!
