No idea but my guess is it’ll sit empty for years if Abdul’s actually closes/moves…

Well personally, I went there 2 months ago for the first time, and I had sanity concerns. Plus it was one of the worse Kibbeh I ever had, so it might be sad for loyal customers, but if it was about sanity or because they were having less customers, I would not be totally surprised about this.

Devastating. I get food from there every other week. I saw them taking equipment out the other day but assumed it was just maintenance

God I hope it’s not true/there’s more to this. My favourite Shawarma. Period.

Noooo my daily lunches when I worked in the city. Always used to get little extras and notes in my deliveries.

Everyone’s saying no, but no one ever went there, it’s been quiet for a hot minute

One of the Lebanese staples that had been around for decades, and then just quietly goes out of business.
Fellow late 1960’s established Lebanese icons Fatima’s and Emads at least are still hanging on!

I honestly thought they owned the building? I’m a foreigner, I have lived here for 10 years, but even I had noticed the business slowing down post COVID. What a shame. Thanks Jimmy for all those extra falafels!

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My family has been going there for over 50 years. This is devastating news.

Ah the institution. I lived a short walk up the street for years so this was a regular, but it was starting to go down hill by the time I left around 2021. Also, the big fella didn’t seem long for the world the way he was huffing and puffing while he rolled the lamb sandwiches. Unfortunately he wasn’t always on the tools and mostly it was a few randoms that made the kebabs during my last few visits.
Still, a banger in its heyday. Thanks for the feeds Abdul and family.

I heard cause the landlord wanted to increase the rent by nearly 50% if they renewed the lease.

Fuck no. My first ever felafel was from Abdul’s . 1981. I was 13. Blew my tiny little white suburban mind.
Years later I lived around the corner for 4 years. Abdul’s kept me alive.
I’m not in Sydney anymore but everytime I’m in town i get a falafel from them. Extra chilli, extra garlic. Last time was 2 months ago. As always, the best you could get.
I hope Omar’s ok. I remember him as a young fella.
The enshitification of Sydney continues.

Oh fuck. I go there every time I visit from Melbourne. This is so sad.
