These falafel were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The falafel were delicious, but they didn't hold together very well. I think I might have overcooked them.

I've never made falafel before, but this recipe made it easy. The instructions were clear and concise, and the falafel turned out perfectly. They were a big hit at my party!

The falafel turned out great! I made a few adjustments to the recipe, using a different type of flour and adding some extra herbs. They were a bit time-consuming to make, but definitely worth the effort.

These falafel were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a perfect balance of spices. I served them with tahini sauce and pita bread, and they were a huge hit with my family.
