About Mama Falafel Pai

A beloved Middle Eastern vegetarian restaurant run by an Israeli family with outstanding falafel, hummus, shakshuka, and fresh pita bread baked daily. Mama Falafel has been a Pai institution since the 1990s when Israeli travelers first made the hill town a regular stop - still the best falafel in northern Thailand.
