Falafel from Semiramis

The dudes over at Sultan’s Market may have the bus stop bench advertising market cornered, and as much as they boast about their falafel, it is quite good. But regulars at Albany Park’s Semiramis also know that their favorite Lebanese haunt also churns out some of the best in the city. I particularly love their “special falafel” sandwich, which also contains roasted eggplant and two types of sauces. Notice in the video how owner Joseph Abraham assembles the sandwich as well – much more like they would on Warren Ave. in Dearborn, Michigan (home to America’s largest Lebanese population) than the usual joint in Chicago.
