Dear Kyle and Neighbors, Sa-ád's business hours escape me, even though I enjoyed a Shwarma there four years ago. Are there regular business hours or still "Brigadoon" hours. Another listserv poster said they had Cheese steaks and when my husband and I went by after riding our bikes on the Drive

We eat there a lot, mostly for takeout. It is the Eastern Mediterranean joint we prefer in University City. Sa'ad seems to be open on every day, at every hour that we want takeout food. I don't recall placing an order during Ramadan, so I can't say what he does then. His kitchen lies within tw

I think that Saad's closes for prayers. I don't know at which times. Margie > Dear Kyle and Neighbors, > > Sa-ád's business hours escape me, even though I enjoyed a Shwarma there four > years ago. > > Are there regular business hours or still "Brigadoon" hours. > > Another listserv poster said

As I said to LA, it still escapes me and even THEY don't know if the hours on the take-out menu are accurate. Ergo, it may be a "Brigadoon business" to me. No offense, just so I would understand, and I do. I thanked them for posting such and also I thank you. -Wilma On 7/3/07 8:18 PM, "Anthon

Well, that's something they're going to have to deal with commercially. If I, as a non-Muslim customer, found I couldn't get my shawarma because the proprietor was too busy praying, I wouldn't go back there again. That hasn't happened to me at Sa'ad. If it did happen to you -- patronize the joi

Saad's is open 11-9 Monday through Thursday, 11-10 (says on the menu) Friday and Saturday. I know they're closed at 9 most nights. I've never gone after 9, so I'm not really sure if they are, in fact, open until 10 Fri/Sat. I'll have to take a look this weekend. Closed Sundays and the month of

Well then, if he wants (a) one day a week off and (b) one month of vacation off, then Sa'ad has picked the Christian day off and the Muslim month off. He's covered his two most important bases -- an American strategy. And I hope he, along with all his employees, enjoys a day off and a week off

Love Saads. He's always a good host and the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. My grandson rates Saad's french fries second only to Abbraccio which he declares are the world's best. I've never tried any of the steaks, but the burger and fries are generous portions that really hi

Once I went to Sa'ads and they were closed for prayer. (I can't remember if there was a sign saying this, or if a passerby told me.) I believe it was a Friday afternoon. Lancaster Ave is a bit far. Margie > Well, that's something they're going to have to deal with commercially. > If I, as a non-M

Saad's been a lynch-pin of that corner for years. I recall when it used to be a "Wings to Go". Imho, he's done so much to clean up that corner and build community with the neighbors and the neighboring businesses. The constant foot traffic from the Mosque to the restaurant is very welcome, as a

There is occasionally a sign on Saad's window that says "closed for prayers, be back at:" with the clock hands. I believe only for Friday prayers and never more than an hour. That means you can take a few minutes to buy some soap at the fragrance lab and shop for goodies at the second mile unti

Yes, I recall the food was fantastic. I suppose it¹s just dumb luck that whenever I pass by he seems to be closed when I want to stop in and open when I cannot or don¹t have time. On 7/3/07 10:16 PM, "Kyle Cassidy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Saad's been a lynch-pin of that corner for y
