The owner of this business is a rude older man. He treated me poorly, I will not give him my business and I will also tell my family and friends.

This is another place I've followed Ed U to.  It wasn't our first attempt at eating here.  We walked in a year or two ago.  Several people were seated at the bar.  If there was staff there we didn't see them and we were not acknowledged.  We took a look at the menu on the bar top, didn't see anything that called to us and left.  Then, a couple of days ago I read Ed's review of his experience and the chicken really interested me. Today I called and spoke w/ Jamshied, the owner.  He told me he had all the appetizers and one main, the lamb shank.  When I told him Alan wouldn't want a lamb shank he told me he had chicken, just not the sauce.  If Alan wanted the chicken he could put the sauce from the lamb on it.  Rather than keeping him hanging on the phone while Alan and I sorted it out, I hung up and Alan looked at the menu online.  We agreed on the beet salad to share.  I wanted the yogurt dip along w/ the lamb shank and he decided to have the stuffed bell pepper and the fire roasted eggplant rather than the chicken.  I called Jamshied back several times and received no answer, then he called me back, apologizing because he'd been so busy w/ customers, which is a very good sign.  I ordered everything and added pita bread for the yogurt dip and the eggplant.  Jamshied said it could be ready about 6:00 and I said we'd pick it up around 6:30.  I forgot to ask about rice pilaf. When I arrived I asked Jamshied about the pilaf.  He said it would take a little while to prepare, so I sat in the car and waited.  When it was ready he told me there was less than he had anticipated, so he was giving it...
