Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern visit Ali El Sayed's famous Kabab Cafe on Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens New York. I've been trying to goto this place but everytime I come by somehow I couldn't make it :(

Sending this video to Beggar's Corner to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter legacy0100.

Wooooo! Astoria! Home now for two years and the only place on the east coast that I know. (Well, the rest of NYC included)

You can see them passing by Mombars (run by Ali's brother) at 0:57

The shop is much smaller than I expected. No wonder I had such a hard time finding it. I was expecting a nice big building or something, given the restaurant's reputation.

And be warned. You could get robbed of all your money if you don't watch yourself. This guy has a knack for making you spend more than what you've originally planned.

Rumors has it that if you're a first timer and you let Ali talk his way in, the bill usually goes upto $100 easily.
