The Orient House Of Falafel No 1

The Orient House of Falafel No. 1 is a Lebanese and Mediterranean fast-food restaurant at Österportsgatan 2A in central Malmö, serving falafel, kebab and related Middle Eastern dishes. Youssif Iskandarani, who came to Sweden in 1985, ran the restaurant from 2001 for about fifteen years using the falafel recipe taught to him by his father; the business later changed ownership in autumn 2016. Its significance comes from Iskandarani’s role in introducing falafel to Malmö and from its recognition as Malmö’s best falafel in Sydsvenskan’s 2014 falafel test. The restaurant is near Malmö’s central Österport area rather than at a major landmark, and published listings give the telephone number 040-97 88 66; current opening hours should be confirmed before going because the ownership and operating details have changed.
