Best Falafel in Santo Domingo

Name: El Rey
Location: Corner of Padre Bellini and Sanchez right next to the "S-Bar"
Reason why?:
Authentic, reeaally tasty and reasonably priced - the shwarma was almost as good too. Nice atmosphere and good music seeping through from the bar next door.:classic:

Agreed! They also have a branch in the new part of the city, in Ens. Seralles.

El Rey del Falafel
Calle Jose Amado Soler (between Lincoln and Lope de Vega).

Isn't that neighborhood Piantini?

That neighbourhood between Lincoln and LdV is called Seralles - south of Kennedy and north of Gustavo Mejia Ricart. There is a farmacia on the same stretch of Jose Amado Soler called 'Farmacia Piantini', but Piantini is mainly between Lincoln and Churchill. The boundaries are often undefined, hence the confusion.

Is it possible to buy a bag of the Pita breads at the one on Jose Amado?

Yes, they sell them there - that's where they bake them. You have to go after midday usually.

They do delivery as well. I'll post the phone number later.

I agree. Very good indeed.

Warning though: The picante sauce is "extremely" hot.

By the way, they sell the hot sauce and the tahini to go.

Well, felafel is hardly felafel without an extremely hot sauce :lick: - besides after the hot sauce even a "Presidente" goes down well.... :ermm:

I think this is the place which is run (or was originally run) by a hippy type israeli guy. At the time he didn't have shawerma but he did serve up a mean falafel. The only down side is, I ate 4 falafel in 12 hour period and later in the morning I was punished for my sins. I had the most horrifying constipation from hell which broke open my a$$ in pieces. I think I ruptured an old anal fissure. I was in pain for days and couldn't go to batroom for 3 days. So eaters be aware. This good tasting falafel can curse you in the morning. Try sticking to eating, no more than 2 falafel in one sitting. I have never returned to this place ever again. I may go back to eat shwerma though.
