Falafel Mama Story

Our
STORY

Welcome to Falafel Mama. 

“.. the flavour of my childhood and the vibe of the festival” Alon Hertz

Close your eyes. Imagine the scent of orange blossom in the evening heat - the sound of a busy market and the first taste of fresh vegetables and spices formed into your hands where you can messily eat it all up. These are the fond memories of Alon’s favourite childhood street food.

The story of Falafel Mama has come across the desert from where Alon lived with the bedhouin, training camels and learning from their generous hospitality. 

This influence was then brought to the fields of Europe and the UK with the creation of Pizza Tabun where the energy and atmosphere of our onsite restaurant created a real sense of community. Our theatrical team of dedicated crew would often be found dancing with the queue whilst serving freshly cooked food to those sheltering from the rain and mud.

Catering at festival food for 25 years...

Located in the alternative town of  Stroud, Gloucestershire, we are a small middle eastern street food café with a welcoming, lively atmosphere. We serve healthy, high standard vegetarian food cooked to order.
