  • Falafel platter, Pita Alsharq

Just over the city limits, in west-suburban Harwood Heights, the Lawrence Court strip mall is home to eight different restaurants, representing the food of Poland, Thailand, Japan, the Philippines, Italy, China, and the Middle East—specifically, Palestine. Friend of the Food Chain chef Alan Lake recommended it if only for its falafel. The fritters are fried to order and hit the table piping hot, with a thin, greaseless, crackly crust that practically shatters under pressure to expose an unusual interior.
