I'll have your yogurt sauce. I have never heard of putting /tahini/ on falafel! o.O (Also, my parents totally used to make it FROM A MIX hahahahahaha. But then they'd over cook it, so it was kind of unpleasant.)

Okay, now I'm not sure if you're just putting me on. :P Heck, even wikipedia doesn't mention yogurt on the falafel page, but tahini is right there in paragraph one. I don't know when people started putting yogurt on falafel.
As for a mix, to be clear, I'm not saying that's *inherently* wrong (it totally has its place), but when someone is looking for a good place to to go get falafel, telling them they can get some powder and mix it with water just doesn't seem like it's likely to meet their needs. If somebody posting jonesin' for local milk, I wouldn't suggest the powdered stuff to them, either.
It could be I have never paid sufficient attention to what sauce was going on the felafel when I've bought it from a proper vendor, but if asked "What was that?" I would definitely have guessed yogurt over tahini.
(I never much cared for the parental units' preparation of mix felafel, and didn't learn it could be tasty until I'd had it from a real felafel place. I usually referred to it as "feel-awful" which didn't amuse anyone but me.)
