Falafellas is on my list of favorite places to eat in Greece. Look at the queue just to get one of these wonderful culinary delights! 

Last trip to Athens I saw everyone waiting to order and I knew it must be great so I got in line and ordered a spicy falafel. It was delicious. So this trip I made it a point to go back.

This place is very popular with the locals. You order, and then stand or sit and eat with everyone outside in this Greek mall. What a great experience.
