lost its luster

by beanerspace

Having traveled to Greece and the Middle East often and recently, I have to say that I grow continually dissatisfied with both the food quality and service at Jasmin. Of late, the sauces - for which they charge for each little sample - are mostly salt and pepper. As I recall, tahini is supposed to have a nutty sesame taste. Likewise, their falafel is now overcooked and dry. Of course the fact that they're now charging for water is an annoyance I can do without. Well technically, the smarmy kid behind the counter told me that they're charging for the cup - basically that I should deal with it.

• Pros: a variety of selections
• Cons: nickle-n-dime you to death
