Very good and easy to make although I did add an egg to bind them together a bit. I also used only half the cumin since my husband isn't a big fan of it. They turned out great. Thanks for introducing a new meat substitute to my dinner table!

Will NEVER used the boxed mix again! These are fantastic, crispy outside, tender inside and just....magical!

Very yummy. I did add 2 eggs to the mix to help it hold together better.

The seasoning on this recipe is good, but I highly recommend using dry garbanzo beans, soaking them overnight, and then grinding them in a food processer. This makes the falafel more crunchy and textured instead of the mushy version that using canned garbanzo beans will produce.

FANTASTIC AND EASY...WHAT MORE COULD ONE ASK?? I used Trader Joe's Tahini, lettuce, and grated carrots on pita bread. OMG!!!! EXCELLENT!

These are very easy and quick to make. They even taste good without some of the ingredients (if your cupboards a little bare, like mine). Are a little soggy and dry when reheated though.

This makes a great falafel. I added one egg and then added water as needed in order to make it stay together. If I had not added water it definitely would have fallen apart. Left out the cilantro and parsley. I recommend using a food processor to mash the beans and garlic, and then stir in the finely diced onion. My food processor completely pulverizes onion, so I just dice it and stir it into whatever I am making.

Hadn't ever made falafels from scratch, and decided to use this recipe because it was egg-less. However, I did use corn meal in place of the bread crumbs as some other recipes do. The first couple did not hold together too great until I started really packing the balls firmly with a melon baller. Worked great! Will definitely be making these again.

We did not like these at all. They are not what I recall eating.

I actually added one egg to keep it together. I used fresh parsley and added ground coriander seeds. I sauteed them to get a brown crust and then finished them in the oven at 350 degrees. Amazing!!
