All of the ISS used to be owned by one man named Kumar. From San Diego to Bakersfield. But he sold a lot of them. I think Canoga is still his but 2 guys bought the Culver City(LA) one about 1998. It has lost the family owned feeling although the food is better.

What is it on Confused Old Dude’s print shirt there? Old luggage tags? Liquor ads? Matchbooks? Cigarette packs? Cool as shit whatever it is. I’ll bet he found that shirt at Ross. The beret just sends it over the top. You gotta be a Man of a Certain Age to pull off a beret, esp. if you’re white. Good pick, my Senior friend.

I’m wondering if this is at all related to the one in Riverside, CA. I used to go there like once or twice a week for months on end, and every time I showed up that motherfucker would look at me like he’d never seen me before.

But yeah, this place is a market and a restaurant. And their combo meal is $3.00 plus tax. Hell to the yes son.

If you don’t know what to order, they will curtly tell you what to get, or just start scooping it on your plate.

This joint rocks, I used to go to the one in Canoga.
Do any of us know how many locations there are, once and for all? I get varying reports.

The ultimate in bad service is Gaby’s Mediterranean Cafe ten blocks down Venice, at the northeast corner of Mentone.

The ultimate in curt service is any restaurant in Chicago’s Greek Town. The way the waiters refill drinks and furnish new bread is astonishing in its dickish efficiency.

BTW, anything on the north side of Venice is in Los Angeles, not Culver City. Also, the ZIP is 90232.
