Falafel · Glasgow
A hole-in-the-wall counter with a two-item menu — falafel wrap or hummus — and a queue that often runs down the street, which is worth knowing before you join it with a hungry toddler. When it's quiet, a wrap lands in under five minutes, freshly made, so there's little standing about while someone melts down. The wraps are around £5, big and tightly packed with falafel, hummus and crunchy salad, wrapped well enough that it won't spill down a coat. Everything is vegetarian and vegan, and they'll adjust it — plain for one, extra hot for another. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access, and the team are patient with questions about the menu. The catch: there's nowhere nearby to sit, so plan on a bench, the park, or home. One parent calls it "simple food done fantastically well".
