Kareem's Restaurant Selling its Wonderful Falafels at Wholesome Choice!

Note: Not an actual photo from Kareem's, but doesn't it look delicious anyway?

​A couple of weeks ago at Wholesome Choice, I was trying to find the shallots-spiked yogurt I always get with an order of sangak when I heard someone call my name. It was Mike Hawari, who owns the best restaurant in Little Arabia: Kareem's Restaurant. He stood behind the gyros counter, and I was afraid that Kareem's had shuttered due to the Great Recession.

"No, we're doing good," Hawari replied, as he shoved a falafel in my hands.


It turns out Hawari has finally gone through on what he has long planned: to see Kareem's falafel--a luscious orb of crunch, fluff, and chickpea sweetness--get sold in other markets. And the first smart client? Wholesome Choice.

You can catch Hawari most days at Wholesome Choice giving out free samples, but be a mensch and buy some for home. Afterward, trek up to Little Arabia and eat, eat, eat!
