Papouli's Cafe - Macon

I visited in March 2021 and there were no indoor seats available due to COVID restrictions, but there were a few tables set up outside on the sidewalk. I tried the falafel gyro and lentil soup, both of which were delicious and really hit the spot.

The restaurant offers clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. In my opinion, the food deserves 3 1/2 stars, the service is a four, and the ambience is a three. It is located in a small strip mall near I 75, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying and quick meal. However, for a romantic evening or a special occasion, you may want to consider a more upscale establishment. I opted for the Fattoush salad, which featured a well-seasoned mix of veggies, lettuce, and falafel served with pita bread on the side. The salad was enhanced with pomegranate vinaigrette and pickled radishes for a touch of tanginess, while parsley, mint, sumac, and a drizzle of tahini sauce added Mediterranean flavors. The standout element of the dish was the perfectly seasoned falafel, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The falafel is fried in peanut oil at this restaurant.
