CHEEKY PEA

We are thrilled to feature Cheeky Pea in this edition of our newspaper. This KA-certified eatery takes pride in using chickpeas as the core ingredient mixed with fresh herbs, to create authentic and impressive Israeli green falafel, among other delectable offerings. Their homemade falafel comes in all forms, from ready-to-eat balls to par-cooked, patties and even a fresh mix just for starters. The half-sized Falafel Bites are a crowd favorite, packing the same crunch and flavour as regular falafel balls. And if you're craving fresh dips and pita pockets, Cheeky Pea has got you covered.

What's more, all products are made with only the finest ingredients and their entire kitchen is gluten-free, with the exception of their pita pockets. This means that all of their in-house vegan products are safe for coeliacs.

The talented and dedicated Adi Walter leads the way at Cheeky Pea, supplying her products to wholesale and retail customers. You can find her every Wednesday at the Cheeky Pea HQ in Matraville, where she operates a weekly pop-up shop from 11:30am to 1:30pm and offers the full Israeli experience of fresh falafel in a pita full of goodies. While it's take-away only, many customers choose to enjoy their hot lunch in a nearby park or take it to La Perouse.
