Is this true, and if so are there any good places serving their food? I visit on business from NYC every couple of months. I've tried the local specialties (Duff's for wings, Grover's for Friday fish fry, a few beef-on-wecks) and have started to look for other things. A good felafel or shwarma is always welcome...

Directly across the street is the more expensive but not neccessarily better Sahara Grill. At 1230 Hertel is a new place run by an Iranian family called the Buffalo Kebab House; I have not been able to visit yet but there is some good word of mouth. Some other places are scattered about the suburbs, but I haven't tried any: presumably Teta's on Tranit Rd. in E. Amherst is good if you are out that way.

Also in Getzville on Campbell Bvd there is Byblos which is sit-down and also good. Sun Jan 21 01:01:08 -0800 2007 2205723 12237 L_W
