Falafel Pita Tray with Tahini in Beirut Morning Light

Soft morning light falls through sheer curtains, casting gentle shadows across a stainless steel counter in a Bourj Hammoud street-food cart. A rectangular metal tray holds three golden-brown falafel balls nestled inside warm pita bread, drizzled generously with creamy white tahini that pools in the folds. The surfaces gleam with cleanliness, free of clutter. Crumbled parsley and a dusting of sumac add specks of green and deep red to the beige bread. In the background, the edge of a tiled wall and a stack of fresh flatbreads rest on a wire rack. one drop of tahini rests on the rim of the tray, catching the soft daylight.
