Got the "large plate" it was a bit small. Said there was one falafel, but there was none. I felt like the service was rushing to get rid of me. There was no one else to serve, but me and my family, so...

It was a bit weird. I came in first and the service seemed friendly, then my wife came in and the person serving, well let us just say the smile turned upside down in a fraction of a second. My wife wears head scarf, I do not really understand what the problem is.

I would rather avoid that place. I think they would prefer...

Occasionally, I feel like enjoying real Middle Eastern taste and hospitality. I've tried a few places around town but have always left disappointed and disgruntled. Well, Shahrzad is nothing but amazing! Very inconspicuous, a little straightforward and plain but get a falafel pita in you and you'll forget about 2nd rate and so-called establishments trying to pass off as the real deal. I'll never go anywhere else, I've sworn allegiance and loyalty to Shahrzad, I hope they enjoy seeing my falafel loving...
