The Triangle

Media Credit: Seeni Komolafe-The Triangle A&M caters to every palate, from meat-based meals to vegetarian options.

For a quick Middle Eastern fix, stop by this truck, located on Ludlow Street, down by 31st Street. The truck offers a variety of authentic Middle Eastern fare, including falafel, kababs, and shawarma. It also offers more run-of-the mill items like cheese steaks, and sandwiches.

According to the owners, the most popular request is the falafel sandwich, made with falafel, hummus, lettuce and tomatoes. For $4, it's not a bad meal. The falafel itself is quite good, though the somewhat unnecessary addition of hot sauce marred the flavor slightly.

After two years of being on Drexel's campus, the truck seems to have acquired a fairly diverse fan base.

There are enough options on the menu for vegetarians-somewhat unusual, being that middle-eastern cuisine is typically meat-based. There is the falafel omelette, with falafel, eggs, green peppers, onions and cheese, as well as the eggplant sandwich or parmesan. For those less daring customers, there is the usual variety of egg-and-cheese sandwiches, including a sausage, egg and- cheese and a turkey or beef bacon, egg and cheese, all ranging between $2 and $2.50.
