I have enjoyed every meal I’ve eaten at the Thirsty Camel, and it is my favourite restaurant in Nanaimo. The food is always fresh and they have gluten free and vegetarian and vegan options, as well as chicken. The best falafel outside of Israel!
We have always enjoyed eating at the Thirsty Camel. Their falafels balls are totally delicious and we have those every time we visit. If there is a ‘down side’ it might be that in the winter, it is a little chilly whenever the door opens but the food warms the soul so it isn’t a problem! Not many tables and this is a very popular place so sometime we share a table and meet new friends doing so. We find the owner’s business philosophy to be very ‘socially responsible’ and that provides an added incentive to eat there (if one were needed). The staff are very welcoming and the food is really fresh and good.
