Sauces include nutty tahini, chilli sauce and a bright orange spicy, pickled mango sauce called amba.
The caf� also serves containers of humous with a selection of vegetarian toppings including crispy aubergine slices, feta cheese, hard-boiled free-range egg or guacamole.
A falafel wrapped in a pitta bread costs �3.99 while a larger falafel salad in a container costs �4.49. A container of hummous with two pitta breads costs �3.99 and a sabich, houmous, hard-boiled egg and aubergine in a pitta bread also costs �3.99.
