| - I usually go to the Squirrel Hill location, which I would rate a solid 5 stars. But I now live closer to the Freeport Road location, and I like to support local business. I've gone twice, now, and have been disappointed each time. The servers are great. It's the food and the price of one tiny condiment that prompts me to write. First, the food. Twice, I have ordered the falafel salad, and twice I have been served less than fresh salad greens. Some had rust spots and other pieces were just limp. I don't know if it's because they have less traffic at this location, but there really is no excuse to serve anything but the best. With the salad comes the garlic sauce dressing. I ask for it on the side because that's just me. What you get is one of those little plastic cups that isn't even filled to the top. My estimation is that it's about two tablespoons of dressing, if that. Garlic dressing is thicker than most dressings, so what comes in that little cup is not enough for a salad of that size (or price). Each extra cup is $.65. I make this sauce at home, so I know a tiny serving like this doesn't cost that much.
The other weird thing about this place is the location of the restroom. You have to walk through the kitchen and servers' station to get there. Not only does this conjure bad dreams of germs wafting from the bathrooms through the kitchen, but I just don't want to see how clean or unclean the prep area, kitchen, or dishwashing areas are either before or after eating my food. There is another bathroom upstairs, and if I ever go back, which is doubtful, now, I will use that one.
I really wished for more from my two trips to this location, but I don't think I'll go back.
