**** Mister Falafel has closed
Another stop before our offices moved last year; trying to go through all those places one more time. This time it was Mister Falafel, which I thought was quite good when they forst opened in 2013, but just hasn't been as good during my most recent visits.
Still, the folks here are so sweet and gracious.
I got the Falafel Sandwich($6.75).
Everything here is made to order, which is a good thing. The wrap was still nice and warm when I got back to the office. It was however, just a shadow of its former self. Something has changed in the recipe for falafel here. This time it was on the mushy – gritty side, with not enough crunch, the flavor milder than I recalled. Luckily, I got some garlic paste this time around (no meetings on this afternoon), which kind of saved things. This version of garlic paste is nice and pungent and really helped the sandwich, since the tomatoes weren't ripe and there just wasn't very much parsley. Also, the tahini here is not my favorite as I find it on the bland side.
Still, I really like the folks who work here, so I wanted to make sure to drop by one more time before we moved offices.

You probably mentioned this already, but is your office moving completely out of the Clairemont/Kearny Mesa area?
Yeah, kind of a bummer Kat!
Hi Sage – Our department moved out of the area; but the company still has offices in KM…..which means, I’m going to love having pre-lunch meetings there if I can! Hope all is well.
I used to go when I’d drive by on my commute home. Stopped going when we moved offices a few years back. Too bad they’re not as good.
Agree nice people but the falafel wasn’t too good when I tried it. Saw on chowhound someone asked you about if Pearl in RB had reopened, per yelp it has and I think it’s still the same people as with Emerald. Maybe the dim sum has even improved too.
I was a bit disappointed Junichi.
I hope the dim sum at Pearl has gotten better RD…..I heard that Emerald has improved.
