Tiny Taïm whips up some of the best falafels in the city. You can order them Green (tradi-
tional style), Harissa (with Tunisian spices) or Red (with roasted peppers). Whichever you
choose, you'll get them stuffed into pita with creamy tahini sauce and a generous dose of
Israeli salad. You'll also find mixed platters, zesty salads and delicious smoothies - try the

have eaten here).
