It sounds like boxed might be what you're looking for. But, falafel is pretty easy to make, and if you make it yourself, you can adjust the herbaceousness or spices to suit your application.

Another option, if you're just looking for something more plain, could also be to drop the pretense of an actual recipe altogether. Just soak a couple cups of dried chickpeas overnight, blitz them in a food processor, add maybe 1% salt by weight, and then make a small little falafel patty, and fry it up to ensure it tastes the way you want, adjust the spices, and make your final patty. Just be sure not to make the large patty thicker than you would make a standard falafel or else it will screw with the cook time needed.
