This corner cafeteria, tucked away down a street opposite the Supersol supermarket, offers something very different; oriental pastries, cakes and sweetmeats. For those of you who haven’t tried these delights from the Near and Middle East, as well as North Africa, you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that it is not as sickly sweet as their Spanish counterparts. And there is really excellent coffee to be had with your exotic pastries.
Abduallah, who came to Salobreña in 2008, judging the town to be a good midway point between Almuñécar and Motril, has travelled all over, spending many years in Switzerland in the hostelry trade, as well as Hong Kong, where he met his wife, Dibi.
His heart is in imaginative gastronomy and puts great importance on his ecological/vegetarian products. The good news is that Falafel does catering for parties, so you can offer something different to your guests. Not only that, he is adept at Arabic calligraphy, which is an amazing art form, as well as a silent conveyor of the spoken word. He would be happy to chat to anybody about his hobby, as well as giving classes to those who are interested. Finally, they open about 11.30 in the morning, a good time to catch them after your shopping.
