For non-Sydney (NSW) readers: Abdul's is a famous Lebanese restaurant/takeaway which has been going since at least the 70s. It is retro without trying, and if they feel like it, they will give you extra falafels - and if you ask will explain the significance of the Arabic calligraphic wall hanging. I used to go there in my flares and bare feet.
Marvelous.
ReplyDeletethis is terrific (and I remember unfolding scenes amongst young academics at Abdul's in the 90s)
ReplyDeleteThe fizzspark of desire still burning along with the hunger for a fine falafel roll
ReplyDeleteThere should be a movie made set in Abdul's I reckon Efi.
ReplyDeleteBest falafel's in town Richard!!

ReplyDeleteThese noodles I'm eating now, I'd toss in a second!
ReplyDeleteP.S. True. After a climbing accident once, I came out of a 2-week induced coma with the hunger of a hundred bears - and I was met with Melbourne's best felafel, brought to me by an Angel. Probably saved my life...or at the very least gave me a reason to want to keep eating! :)
