Yassin's Falafel Sandwich · Knoxville
The Knoxville-canonical Syrian falafel sandwich: hand-rolled chickpea fritters in pita with tahini, pickled vegetables and Yassin Terou's hot sauce.
Yassin Terou arrived in Knoxville as a Syrian refugee in 2011 and opened Yassin's Falafel House on Walnut Street in 2014. The shop was named Reader's Digest 'Nicest Place in America' in 2018. The brand now operates from Marble City Food Hall, West Knoxville on Peters Road and Alcoa, with a presidential portrait of Yassin shaking hands with leaders on the wall.
