     The falafel balls were out of this world. My husband made them for me in no time. They were so good I couldn't just eat one! Great Recipe.....thanks - 12/4/09

     This was very good! I shaped them into hamburger sized patties and used a generous amount of cooking spray instead of olive oil (and doubled the cooking time). Kids loved them. Will definitely be making again. Thanks for the recipe! - 6/7/10

     It's tasty but mine seemed a bit "wet" and flattened out while cooking. - 10/1/12

     I made my owwn chick peas so it needed a little more salt. I will be making this again. As a vegetarian it will really be an asset to my diet!! Tasted yummy and very filling, next time I may add some Parmesan cheese! - 1/27/10

     Amazing taste! It was hard to have just a single serving. Oh, wait! I had them for dinner and didn't have to! Woot! LOVE this recipe. Definitely will make again. - 2/17/13

     I ended up cooking mine a lot longer, so next time I will raise the temperature in the oven. But, these were delicious, and filling! A great change from meat. - 6/23/11

     Just made this and it is DELICIOUS!! I will definitely make them again. They are perfect for stuffing into a pita with veggies and hummus. A great vegetarian lunch option! Love! - 5/3/11

     Just made these tonight & they are amazing! I actually used 2 cans of 15 oz beans and made larger size falafel, I think we came out with 12 large falafes. The rest will be frozen or eaten this week. Spices were spot on, I'd recommend eating w/ http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Tzatziki-Sauc
