UAE-based casual restaurant chain Just Falafel has opened its first outlet in Australia, Arabian Business reported.

The branch, in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta, which has one of the country’s highest Middle Eastern populations, is the latest in the company’s ambitious international expansion plans that includes North America, Europe and MENA.

The Australian menu will feature local specialties including signature falafel topped with mango salsa, avocado, cucumber and lettuce.

Sherkawi Group International will be the franchisor and the company said it was seeking additional franchising opportunities across Australia.
