| - Tried Sinbad's for a second time today to give it another shot because I really didn't want to leave a bad review based only on our first experience. The first time we went there it seemed like it took forever to get our food; but we chalked it up to an isolated incident and thought perhaps it was just an off day for them. We went back today (it's been about 6 months since the first visit) and ordered two Gyros and one piece of Baklava TO GO. When we arrived, we were the only customers in the restaurant. We waited and waited and waited some more. In the meantime, we decided to take a seat at a nearby table while we dripped sweat and continued to wait. Everything on that table from the napkin dispenser to the salt and pepper shakers looked like they were breeding grounds for some horrible sickness. I looked around to find the other tables looked very much the same -- no cleaning standards here at all. Twenty-five minutes passed with no food in sight, but we did see about 6 different workers doing all sorts of tasks. At the 26 minute mark, we decided to leave without our food - the place was not clean and our food was not even close to being ready. It amazed me that if they were going to make us wait, there was no offer to sit, no offer of water in the overly warm dining room and no apology for taking so long after say, 15 minutes to reassure us, the food was indeed on its way. Nope! Just wait it out and we really don't care what you think, how unclean our place is, how hungry you are, how long this is taking or how hot it is in here. So, for you folks who are thinking of ordering it for delivery, please know this is NOT cleanest place so you are taking your chances with whatever is eventually brought to you. For those of you considering dining in, I sincerely hope you get your food faster than we did (not) today. And I hope they start incorporating some cleaning standards for the dining room and the tables. The only time we were acknowledged after placing our order was after we left. As we were getting into our car to leave, one of the workers dashed out as if he was surprised and angry we were leaving. When my brother told him it was just taking too long, he made an incredibly frightening arm gesture towards us. Yeah, be careful with this one, folks. I know my brother and I will never ever go back. S l o w, unsanitary AND scary........a really bad combination.
