Kind Eyes

Michael B. and I went to a Middle Eastern restaurant last night as I saw it by chance one day and noticed it seemed busy with lots of people happily eating their food, must be good. And it was very yummy and decidedly more tasty than other similar-menued restaurants as you could feel the authenticity and care they put into each bite. A couple busily greeted, cooked and served the food in this busy, tiny establishment. I complimented the lady on the food, and I asked her what country specifically she and her food comes from. She explained with such kind, gentle eyes, and she patiently explained the menu and the specials that they offer. She didn't have that big-city look of cynicism and no trace of negativity. Lovely. I will come back to this restaurant for sure not only for the delicious food but for the genuine hospitality and kindness. Thank you.
