Falafel To Go
Tiny Sauchiehall Street falafel counter with a deliberately two-line menu — falafel or hummus — made to order and famously under a fiver. Reviewers call it the best falafel in town and queue down the street for it; there is no seating, so people eat theirs on a bench nearby.
Why it's listed: Falafel and hummus specialist; website states a 100% meat-free, fully plant-based menu.
