We love the emjaradah, the subs, the stuffed grape leaves, the falafel, the fresh mint tea, and the unfailingly hot, peppery fries. Plus the guy who owns the place is a real character and the decorations never fail to amuse. My spouse and I are addicted to this place.

I don't go to ID if I can avoid it. Being from the Middle-East, I have high standards for the food. ID's renditions are mediocre to terrible. Their falafel is abominble and the hummus not much better. The pitas are downright vile. I've heard many good things about the cheese steak, but honestly, that's not what I go to a ME place for...

Not exactly done Philly style (hold the Whiz!) but damn tasty, especially for a town lacking any good options for deli-style subs.
