Nestled at the top of Petticoat Lane Food Market is Eye Falafel, a traditional Jordanian food stand where hundreds of people queue every day to get their hands on a fresh falafel wrap.
Shaker Al-Bdour has been running the food stall in the heart of the City of London for 15 years. Considered one of the oldest and most popular stalls on Petticoat Lane Market, the homemade falafel wraps, salads, hummus, and chilli sauce have become a lunchtime staple among nine-to-five city workers. The popularity of Shaker’s daily-made, vegan falafel can be attributed in part to his late mother, who passed down the family recipe.
