Falafel particularly features in which cuisine family, according to Wikipedia?

Falafel particularly features in Levantine cuisines.

The Levant broadly refers to the eastern Mediterranean, including areas associated with present-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. In these cuisines, chickpea-based falafel is especially common and is widely served as street food, in meze spreads, or inside flatbread with vegetables and tahini sauce.

Falafel is not limited to the Levant. The dish is generally considered Egyptian in origin, and Egyptian and some Arabian Peninsula versions commonly use fava beans. Across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the wider Middle East, recipes may use chickpeas, fava beans, or a mixture of both.

The dish’s regional variations have also made it culturally contested. Different communities claim connections to falafel’s history and identity, while the food itself has spread far beyond the Middle East. Its Levantine association therefore describes a particularly important culinary home, not an exclusive one.
