Haddad's - New Lebanese Joint on 31st Street

Haddad's is a Lebanese take-out and dine-in joint that opened just last month.  I've been curious to check it out after walking by a couple of times and being intrigued by its pleasant facade.  Just this week, I had a chance to peruse the menu and it looks enticing - Middle Eastern food with plenty of meat but also veggie options at a really competitive price.  Some of the mezze cost as little as $.95 each!  Check out a sampling of the menu below and feel free to give them a try.

Hot Mezze:Fatayer - Pastry filled with baby spinach, onion, sumac and olive oil...$.95 each
Sambousek - Pastry filled with minced beef and onion confit...$.95 each
Safiha - Small spicy Lebanese pizza topped with ground beef, tomato and onion...$.95 each

  9. OK, so Haddad's has been closed for a couple of months now. Does ANYONE know what happened to the owner and if the location was moved? This place had THE most AWESOME falafel I've ever tasted.
