Son of Tuysuz, Sydney (14th October 2013)
I'm quite fussy when it comes to my falafel (deep-fried
chick pea pattie) kebab/wrap - the best I've had to date is from Sahara Cafe in
Wellington (was once my weekly lunch haunt so much so the folks there knew my
order the moment they see me walk in). Lightly toasted flatbread spread with
delicious hummus, topped with fresh vegetables, crushed up falafel balls that
are warm and still crispy on the outside, and your favourite sauces (LOVE the
tahini sauce). Oh how I miss Sahara Cafe – thinking about their falafel kebab
is making me hungry! They have definitely set my benchmark for a good falafel
kebab and since moving to Sydney, I’ve not found a place that is at par until
my chance discovery of Son of Tuysuz recently.
I've been seeing the physiotherapist at Sydney Medical on
Park St during my lunch break in the last couple of weeks for my sprained ankle
and on the way back to the office, taken a quick zip into The Galeries to pick up a falafel kebab from Son of Tuysuz.
Located in the lower ground Foodhall, Son of Tuysuz serves a variety of Turkish
cuisine including gozleme, kebabs and wraps as well as salads and burgers.
Twice I've been here and despite during the lunchtime rush, there were hardly
any queue at the stall (unlike the others which have hungry customers hording
the order counter).

For $9.50 (they take cash only), the felafel (spelt phonetically
instead) wrap consists of falafel, hummus, tabouli, tomato and lettuce. I was
surprised to find the wraps here are premade rather than made on order – all
they do is toast it on the sandwich press. You would think that the wrap would
be soggy sitting on the display counter the whole morning, absorbing moisture
from the hummus and fresh vegetables but I can assure you it wasn’t at all. The
ingredients tasted fresh and on close inspection looks it too. Serving size was
good though smaller than the average wrap served at other kebab joints (they do
not overfill). Sahara Cafe still reigns in my books but Son of Tuysuz is not far off and good enough to satisfy my falafel
cravings. Definitely recommended and keen to come back to sample their other
dishes :)
