Falafel is a standard food in many Eastern Mediterranean countries and is high in protein and fiber. Since it's vegetarian, it can be useful to have on the table when you need to provide a meatless alternative for friends or family members. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy it though. It's much like a meatless meatball and can be enjoyed either alone, with other Mediterranean side dishes, or else in a sandwich.
