Get Your Falafill

Ana Sortun’s chickpea falafel wrap, to be featured on the menu in June.

It looks like it’s a wrap for Mediterranean restaurant Falafill. Starting this month, the establishment will be offering special, limited-time-only wraps as part of a “Guest Chef Series” to benefit Alzheimer’s disease research. Collaborating chefs like Chef Farid Zadi (of Los Angeles) and Chef Ana Sortun (of Oleana in Cambridge, Mass.), will craft original creations that will each be featured on the menu for one month. One dollar from every wrap sold will benefit the Mediterranean Feast Fundraisers (which supports cookbook author and Alzheimer’s spokeswoman, Paula Wolfert) and the Alzheimer’s Association.

The wrap for May is The Berber, a chickpea falafel with radish, orange and onion salad, spicy green harissa and yogurt cucumber sauce.  June’s will be the Harra Falafel, which will include spicy walnut tahini sauce,  carrot labneh yogurt and brown butter. The series will continue through the summer, with July’s wrap to be announced soon.

The special creations can be enjoyed at either of Falafill’s two locations: 3202 N. Broadway or 1053 W. Lake St.
