\"Eat this,\" the owner/chef said, \"right away, while it's nice and hot.  It's very important.\"\n\n\"Thank you.  I will,\" I answered, one hand on the bag with my falafel sandwich.  He then let go of the bag.\n\nWhy, oh why, have I often settled for mediocre food at Panera in Oakland when there's Leena's?\n\nThe falafel was moist and had a nice spicy kick.  I like my falafel a little crunchy on the outside, which this falafel wasn't, but the wrap also had a tasty lemon-flavored sauce going for it.  Because I kept my promise, I can't tell you if the falafel sandwich is good lukewarm or cold.  You won't want to wait, anyway.  Prepare to get messy.  My wrap dripped all over even though I kept it in its foil wrapper.  But if you eat in--there's a fair amount of seating--you can use the bathroom afterwards to clean up.  Well worth a trip to the sink afterwards.
