I don't get it.
I ordered delivery so maybe it wasn't as fresh. the
I had the falafel platter. Falafel was just okay. Rice was gross. Pita was as white and bland as any bread has ever been. And the famous white sauce... was like bad bottled caesar and nothing compared to middle eastern garlic sauce. The hot sauce was hot with no flavour.
NYC tends to have good taste in ME food so I don't know if I can blame this on Americans prefering sweeter, less crunchy food to Canadians. I can't fathom the hype.
