Amsterdam Falafel closing March 30

Had lunch today at Amsterdam Falafel and noticed a sign on the door saying that they are closing March 30. I asked the manager why, and she said it was just about rising costs to run the business. So maybe we'll get another ramen joint? :-/

Eep. I've been going there for fifteen years.

Are you thinking of the right place? Amsterdam Falafel has only been open for seven years.

[redbird]

I thought it was longer, but clearly not.

Yeah, it's really sad.

Oh shoot, first Blue Shirt and now this. :-/ I'll have to go in for a final sandwich & sweet potato fries.

I guess their original DC location is probably still there, and it looks from their website like they do franchising, so it's conceivable another one might pop up eventually...

As far as other nearby falafel joints go, I can recommend Sam's Falafel & Shwarma on Highland. It's not a falafel bar, but their sandwiches are excellent. (Also, it turns out to be pretty easy to make falafel, which I've started doing recently.)
