I ordered dolma and rice with meat from this restaurant yesterday . Unfortunately, about 1.5 hours after eating, I started feeling very sick — nausea, diarrhea, and sharp stomach discomfort. I can’t say for sure what caused it, but this was the only meal I had that day. I hope the restaurant will pay more attention to food quality and safety because this was a very unpleasant experience. I still don’t feel well. I had to leave work early because I wasn’t able to finish my shift.
