World's Fastest Falafel Maker

Today I discovered the world's fastest falafel maker (and possibly the busiest, check how many sandwiches are ready to go). It takes this guy less than 5 seconds to make the sandwich. Amazing stuff!




The shop is somewhere in Aleppo. I need to find it when I visit the city next time I am in Syria.

The video by Pangeality Productions.

  1. Impressive! I noticed the atmosphere ( relaxed, friendly and warm) and the lack of ladies. Now, what does he manage to include in it? It looks so yummy!

    I must get back there before they change the movie poster that's the landmark!

    It is difficult to tell what this guy put in the sandwiches as he is so quick but the usual in Syria is Tomatoes, pickles both cucumber and fuchsia-coloured turnip, parsley and yoghurt sauce (surprisingly yoghurt rather than tahini sauce, few places use tahini or spread some hummus on the bread).

    How cool is that cinema poster!

    @Nora and Joy
    you guys need to visit Syria. You would love it. Just ask Zora how much she likes it.
