I once ate at a falafel restaurant in Jerusalem that was 1,000 years old.

I think there’s many restaurants that last a long time, but they aren’t what I’d consider a “large” company.

It has been speculated that its history may go back to Pharaonic Egypt.

However, the earliest written references to falafel from Egyptian sources date to the 19th century

I doubt there's a 1000 yr old falafel shop in Jerusalem, if you remember the name, pray tell

The restaurant, or the building it was in?
