Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 2013692, member: 181"] Unlike much else on The Boneyard, no personal criticisms are intended here. Last night, after an art opening at Institute Library, Lady Hans & I walked over to Beer Collective for a very favorable recon, though we only engaged in conversation with other New Haven Bike Month people and tried a good couple of fries. My idea was to pick up a falafel wrap from Mediterannea because she was parked across the street and I'd followed this thread. Though we were in good humor about it, the wait was notably long because there was only one guy working the entire place. I could see him meticulously laying out the ingredients on plates for the orders that preceded ours, and he acted with care. We took in the hookah smells, considered the circumstance a quirky part of out date night, and it was relaxingly divey in a good way. The falafel wrap was prepared (to go) with no sauce whatsoever (none was asked or offered) and was dry and undistinguished in every way imaginable, including a paucity of falafel and tomato. It was more lettuce than anything else. It was really surprising how little there was to it, like something I'd get at an all white suburban place where someone might reasonably question me, "Well, what did you expect? You don't get a falafel there." I've had many good falafels from carts in NYC, throughout Queens, Persian places in Great Neck, and have enjoyed Mamoun's and the Middle Eastern place in West Haven near UNH. Based on this experience, without the recommendations from usually good sources, I would never return here. It was that plain. Not bad, just "no there there." Did I just get a dud last night? Should I give it another try? [/QUOTE]
