Only changes: I used baking soda instead of powder, a suggested by other reviewers, used far less bread crumbs, and added chili paste to the falafel "batter" to increase the spice. This recipe is absolutely AWESOME. One of my all-time favorites from allrecipes. I have made this at least half a dozen times since discovering it a few months ago, and it is always a huge hit. The tzatziki sauce is SO YUMMY. I serve these in warm pita bread with chopped lettuce, tomato, chili paste, pickled beets and some of the leftover parsley. Even the big meat eaters in the family love it when we have "falafel night." This recipe is a keeper- I know I will be making it for years to come!

Made as directed except for the following changes: Used baking soda instead of baking powder, and put the patties in the oven for 15 mins at 425, flipping halfway through. Next time I will add some tahini and be more generous with the spices. It was just a touch on the bland side for me. I used another recipe for the cucumber sauce.

Very yummy! I think next time I'll chop the onions much smaller because although they held their shape some fell out. Hehe! I'm thinking these would be delish baked too. Less oil.

I made this vegan by just substituting the egg for powdered egg replacer and it was still great : ) Also baked them : )

This is really good! My whole family loved the falafel. Wasn't super font of the tsaziki though. However, I used fat free greek yogurt and I think I might go for 2% next time.

Good! Tastes just like the expensive store bought imported mix I had been buying. My picky kids ate it all up. I omitted the flour/breadcrumbs and it was just fine.

These were fantastic! Flavors were spot on. Next time, I may pan fry quickly to brown then try baking them in a 400 degree oven to save some of the grease, but they were delicious as is.
