He'd enjoy watching your eyes go through his repertoire of newspaper clippings about his famous falafel sandwiches, and you can feel him humbly reveling in your admiration.
He'd generously offer you a falafel to munch on while you wait for your sandwich, but would never sell you any,no matter how long you're going to rave about its freshness.
He'd squash your falafels in that yummy bread, drizzle it with his special sauce and toast it to the right crispiness like no one other place would.
He'd close down when he's done with that day's batch and would not make anymore,no matter how early in the day it is.
I'm not sure if it's just the amazing recipe that make these sandwiches so special, or the owner's snobbish attitude that give it this extra charisma, enigma rather.
That lust with which you leave, for that bare falafel ball that he'd give you for free but won't sell you!
That undeniable disappointment when you arrive half an hour too early, and can't afford the wait for that perfect sandwich.
That secret coveting you have towards the last ten sandwiches of the day that the previous customer proudly strode away with.
It's just all part of the magic.
All part of creating Abu Adeeb's Legendary Al Quds Falafel Sandwiches.
So, have you had one lately?
Go ahead and have one today, who knows how long his Eid vacation will last!

alQuds is very overrated.
Yeah he uses clean frying oil but big freakin deal.
His sandwiches start at 0.35 JDs....Its falafel for god's sake...
Anyway, all that do not bug me as much as their recent smart-ass technique: because it is often crowded, what they do is they squish/heat the bread first and put the falafel inside...by the time youy get your sandwich it is a cold crummy loaf of bread stuffed with cold falafel!! The bread so hard and chewy it is inedible.
You know when something is underrated for so long it becomes overrated....

said:I remember once going there and the restaurant was open, they were making falalfel and it was ready but the workers said they wont sell me anything before el m3allem yeeji!!
Also he doesnt sell falafel separately, it has to be a sandwish, but if you pretend u dont know and you ask him to sell you seaparate falafel he'd put a few in a bag and give it to you for free
