Dr. Sandwich

Choosing what to include in your pita at Dr. Sandwich often presents the mentally taxing problem of having too many good options to choose from. But once you sort out which cabbage salad you're feeling today, the final result is a large (and delicious) pita sandwich that’s usually followed by a stroll down Beverly Blvd in a hummus-induced daze. While this Fairfax spot serves some great chicken shawarma and tender beef kebabs, their falafel is the meat-free option that sneaks its way to the top of our list with its crispy edges. They’re on the smaller size but are made from a smooth, cohesive mix that browns nicely in the frier. There’s great color contrast between the outer crust and creamy green inside that tastes of onion, garlic, and hints of fresh parsley.
