Chickpea's motto is "always baked, never fried". Falafel has to be fried. Perhaps their humus is good, but I would expect a baked "croquette" to be softer and less crunchy (unless you made it with some additional "crisping" molecular cusisine stuff). But Mediteranean Wraps in Palo Alto is pretty good. So you are right. If Mediterranean wraps adds great Foie gras to the mix, a 12 course tasting menu, avant garde techniques with Activa and Salsify etc. and a multi million dollar wine cellar, and a chef per diner, perhaps they will be good competition for TFL. For now, each has its place. I would expect Chickpea restaurant to be less of quality. Chickpea’s motto is “always baked, never fried”. Falafel has to be fried.
