I used to stop in for a cheap falafel or the only vegan Kibbeh I have ever had, from time to time, prices and food were fair as well as fast and convenient. Last year sometime came under new management and lost the physical charm of the establishment replacing the diner-esque quality with a new Ikea-esque facade. They also replaced many of the menu items- mostly pizza? I have only been back twice since the change, the first time waiting over 45min for one falafel (I had ordered two, but they ran out of falafel batter after the first one that still took 45minutes to fry?!) and a spinach pie which turned out to be lamb something upon opening it. I feel like the new management is trying hard to make the place something it is just not, and has lost the fair quality of food at a fair price in a convenient amount of time. What is up with Middle Eastern Pizza anyways? This is the second establishment to feature it around Milwaukee?
Abu's is an old-time east side favorite. Their veggie food is really great - the sampler is the best to start with so you figure out what your favorites are. Rosewater lemonade is a must.

Read morePros: excellent veg food, perfect portions
Cons: very tiny space, you have to stare at the rack of lamb, sometimes slow service
