Yesterday I went to dinner at one of my favorite places, the Kabab Cafe on Steinway in Astoria. As always the food was excellent. Kabab is owned and operated by one man. He does the shopping daily and cooks fresh food based on what he finds to be good. If you give him an idea of what you want he will make you something delicious. He is a self actualized individual who clearly loves food and sharing food with others. He talks with all of his guests and is part of the entire dining experience. When I got home I was in a happy food coma and decided to try to find the "No Reservations" segment featuring the Kabab Cafe. In my search I came across some reviews.Many reviews mirrored my opinion of the place giving it the highest personal rating. But others bombed the place criticizing it for (1) not having a menu (2) being over-priced (3) being slow (4) and being cramped. I will admit the place is tiny but I have really had trouble trying to understand how people could not love this place. The conclusion... these posters are people who don't know how to enjoy a foreign dining experience. They want a chicken cutlet with rice and nothing more or less. They want a perky 18 year old waiter with flair and a smile. Trying something new and taking time to savor life is beyond them. In general, I feel a great pity for these people. I wish they wouldn't criticize what they don't care to understand.
