IQ- - J iWould You HamdiThat Felafel, Please?When Hamdi Hawash lost the lease on his Park Slope felafelstand just one year ago, more than 300 of his customers signedpetitions on his behalf. But Hamdi lost out, and his ramshacklefelafelry was replaced by a slick, franchise-like affair, whichmade Hamdi and his loyal followers fel pretty afel.But now the jolly, bear-like Egyptian is back...with a fullscale, sit-down-and-eat Middle Eastern restaurant called (whatelse?) Hamdi%u2019s. And, while Hamdi personally prepares themore than five kinds of salads, seven types of sandwiches, twoomelets, ten platters, and seven complete dinners, he still hastime to warmly greet his patrons like long lost friends.Hamdi%u2019s menu is as varied as his clientele and ranges from acrisp vegetable tempura dinner ($3.95) to a generous helping ofsteaming moussaka with rice, salad, and bread ($3.50 withoutmeat/$4 with). It includes several Egyptian stews with fish ormeat, a pasta and meat affair called Macaroni Bechamel, and, arecent addition, stuffed grape leaves. Top it all off with a gooeyhunk of baklava (60 cents), and you can still get away for lessthan the cost of a pizza with anchovies. And with thequintessential felafel, shish kebab, and baba ganoushe stillselling at felafel stand prices (90 cents-$1.65), Hamdi%u2019s is stillthe best, and certainly the healthiest, snack deal around.But whether it%u2019s snacking or dining, a cheap date or a familyouting (he loves kids), eat there or take out, Hamdi hassomething for everyone. And, as he%u2019s open until 11 p.m. onweeknights and until midnight on weekends, he could well bethe only late-night mideast connection this side of MacDouqal Oi_a i# uu oot.Hamdi%u2019s, 514 Second Street (off 7th Avenue), Park Slope.
