This place is absolutely amazing in EVERY way. The Shawarma is tender, flavorful, just absolutely perfect on top of the GENEROUS portions.
I am traveling for work and I came in an hour before close not knowing they weren't seating anymore. After finding out, I decided to just do takeout until a kind soul told me to go ahead and take a seat and she will personally serve me (all staff was already packing up and cleaning). I could tell the family didn't want anyone else served at the tables however this amazing young women spoke up, took it upon herself, and made sure I was taken care of. Even told me to take my time eating and to "please, not rush" after I offered to pay immediately after receiving my food so I could get out their hair sooner. She made me feel welcomed.
We are all human, and simple, small gestures of kindness like this go a long way. The word "Sonder", always speaks out to me, meaning "
the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one's own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles:
In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories."
In my story, I am over a thousand miles away from home, having to work 70 hour weeks to get out of debt in hopes of accomplishing my dreams. This meal to them was another person coming in late, buying another plate of food, the kind soul didn't even realize, to me, this was the highlight of my long, and hard day at work, this brought peace and serenity, this allowed me to breathe for a bit and make me feel like I'm not so alone.
