We moved here from Knoxville about 2 years ago, and there's a lot I don't miss....but what I do miss is the great falafel wraps from middle eastern restaurants.

Is there anywhere to get falafel in the tri-cities? Thanks!

Hmmm, good question. Probably not unless it's somewhere up in Bristol that I don't know about. Or you could try Earth Fare (which is now open). They may have it in the food services section.

Hmmm. Guess I am a fool. I have never even heard of it!

This area really could use a good middle eastern restaurant! Miss falafel too. Tried the box mix you buy in the grocery store but it wasn't even close.

Kingsport had a Persian restaurant, Aladdin's Cuisine, for two years but they closed last month due to major building renovations. I never tried it but their menu included falafel, hummus, and kabobs. According to a recent Times-News article, the owner hopes to relocate to Colonial Heights or the airport exit off I-81.

There no falafel on the menu at Bristol's Mad Greek Restaurant (http://www.bristolracewaycamping.com/MadGreek/mad%20greek%20menu.pdf - broken link) but you can get gyros, baklavas, souvlaki, and hummus, among other things.

Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but what in the world is in Colonial Heights or I-81's airport exit that would support a niche restaurant!? : puzzled:

The restaurant's owner already owns property in both of those areas. FWIW, Colonial Heights is probably the most affluent community in NE Tenn. with an est. 2007 household income of $55,900 (compared to $37,200 for JC, $35,400 for Kingsport, and $42,367 for all of Tennessee). I can't see a Middle Eastern restaurant doing too well at Exit 63, however.
