We went on a trip to the United Nations on Chol Hamoed and this restaurant was a block away. The Green Olive is a Israeli restaurant that serves standard Israeli food, like falafel balls, tehina, shnitzel, pita etc. I have to say that these were the BEST falafel balls I have ever tasted............and this is coming from someone who never usually likes them. They were so fresh and crispy and seasoned so well. The people there were so friendly and helpful. All the food was awesome but the falafel balls were definitely a step above the rest.
I love falafel but I don't like green falafel balls and these look green. Or were they green because this restaurant is near the UN and they were representative of the Irish? But the falafel is a middle eastern dish, not an Irish dish. They might have mixed things up hoping to represent as many countries as they can.
