The Falafel Appetizer at Avi's Grill consists of five crispy deep-fried falafel balls made from ground chickpeas, cilantro, and garlic, typically served with accompaniments like sauces or salads.[11] This preparation is distinctive for clearly highlighting the herb and garlic notes in the mixture, turning the appetizer into a focused expression of their take on Middle Eastern flavors.[11] Eating it, you get a crunchy exterior that gives way to a moist, aromatic center, and the small pieces are easy to share or add to a larger meal of other dishes.[11] Menu descriptions and ordering patterns suggest that this appetizer is one of the more frequently chosen starters for guests looking to begin with something plant-based and boldly seasoned.[11][1]
