Ahmed (sp?) always took care of us as did the wait staff. But then they expanded to the area next door, and three times in a row I went and had BAD experiences. We're talking untrained staff, bad tables, bugs, and the final straw was hair in my food (Shawarma). They replaced the latter dish, but served it with our main course, then charged us ... Major disappointment. I've vowed not to go back. Standards slipped ... Go to Falafel Drive-In for Middle Eastern (or Kabul for Afghani) eats and get satisfied.

He is allergic to nuts and both him and his wife asked if there were nuts in their appetizer several times and were told no. After he began to react to the nuts, the waiter said well there are walnuts, but not peanuts. What was worse is that the restaurant has refused to apologize or pay for even a portion of the hospital bill. Good food, but a good friend of mine almost died after dining there.
