Gad-Not too happy :(

After a long day in Giza,Saqqara,and Memphis a friend and i decide its time to eat.We decide on a local favorite chain called GAD.We arrive and its flooded with people inside and out eating,waiting,or heading out.We go upstairs grab a table and browse the menu.My mind was made up when i saw it.Stuffed pigeon.Along with that we decide on having a starter of grilled falafel patties.My friend orders a fateer (Egypt's version of a pizza)with fried feta cheese.Let me tell you this,a black man with a Mohawk in a middle eastern restaurant is definitely gonna get some stares and smiles of curiosity!Servers are moving quite fast as tables come and go as more people flood the place.The aromas of cumin,fresh baked pita,and many others engulf the room.First a basket of 4 fresh out the oven pita bread comes to the table.In a couple minutes our starter arrives.Four good sized patties that are grilled and topped with toasted fennel seed and white sesame seeds,along with the crunch is a nice entry.While on the inside onion and other ingredients like garlic,cilantro make a nice texture and good flavor.Cooked to perfection,nice and hot,a good choice for a appetizer.After a few minutes our entrees arrive.My plate consists of two pigeons stuffed with rice as well as a heartier flavorful rice underneath with a bit of shredded red cabbage and a tomato used as a garnish.My friends fateer appears at the table but from the look of her face,this not what she ordered.A server asks if everything is ok,but its not.Yellow cheese black olives green bell peppers sure doesn't look like feta cheese to me!After a a couple bites she refuses to eat it.Using my hands i begin tearing apart the tender bird as rice comes out and i begin to dig in.Here's a kicker there is there version of Louisiana hot sauce on the table!The bird itself resembles the texture of chicken a bit with a crispy skin outer layer.You know my first time having stuffed pigeon was suppose to be good not non-flavorful!The riceunderneath had all the flavor while the rice on the inside needed salt and pepper.You could definitely tell it was a chain.I barely finished both birds and left the rest.We asked for the bill,no apology for the mistake with fateer nothing!Not tip for you sir!So if you ever want a decent meal of something like what i had go somewhere else.But if you are drunk and need that hangover head to GAD.The only thing i gave thumbs up for was the pita and the falafel patties.Well tomorrow we head to a place she knows is much better for pigeon and fuul (fava bean dish).Also we are going to a place called Arabica for breakfast.So until then bless.
