In a small fast-food joint at Løkka, Jamal makes his legendary falafels. You might have to wait a bit, but it’s worth it! While you wait, you might even get a little treat - one falafel with hummus!
Jamal came to Norway from Syria in 2016 and longed for authentic Syrian food. Why not offer it himself? After all, he had his grandfather’s recipes, and most importantly, a family history of falafel-making!
Since 1952, his grandfather had served falafel from a tent to factory workers in Syria. For his grandfather, it was all about the joy of sharing something good with others. Jamal continues the tradition by making traditional Syrian dishes with a vegan twist. This is his way of honoring his family and their history - where respect for ingredients have always been central.
When you take a bite of Jamal’s falafel, you’re not just getting a delicious meal on the go; you’re getting a small piece of family history, full of warmth, care, and tradition!
