mm yes.
My grandmother used to have a stand in a market where she sold homemade pita bread and also they made falafel pitas there. tabouli is also one of my fav things in the world to eat, when it's done right.

maybe not
Tzatziki is made of strained yoghurt (which in Greece and Turkey is usually made of sheep or goat milk), cucumbers (either pureed and strained or seeded and finely diced), sometimes onion, and garlic for taste—in Greece this can be as much as a whole head of garlic for a large bowlful of tzatziki. It is usually seasoned with olive oil, a spoonful of vinegar, and diverse herbs including dill, parsely or mint. It is often served with pita bread as the first course of a meal, with black olives on top or served separately. It is one of the standard components of the Turkish döner kebab or Greek souvlaki and gyros. In Cyprus the dish is known colloquially as talattouri, and recipes often include less garlic and more mint than the Greek counterpart.

Falafel (Hebrew: פלאפל, Arabic: فلافل falaafil , also known in Egypt and Sudan as طعمية) is a fried ball or patty made from spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas. Originally invented by Egyptian bedouins, it became a highly popular form of fast food in the Arab East and eventually in Israel, where is also served as a mezze or snack. Falafel is very common in the Levant and it is the most popular daily food in Syria. The word "falafel" is the plural of the Arabic word فلفل (filfil), meaning pepper.
Wikipedia all the way.

I went to New York City when I was 10 and the thing I remember most clearly is getting falafel from some guy with a cart on the street...it was like the best ever.
Falafel is like donar kebab for vegetarians.
