middle eastern fast food
A fast food restaurant specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine, where food is ordered and picked up at a counter.
A Middle Eastern fast food restaurant is an establishment specializing in any kind of Middle Eastern cuisine (including Moroccan, Egyptian, Lebanese, Turkish, or Persian), where customers order meals at a counter, pick them up, and can take them to a table on the premises. If the establishment features table service, it should be classified as a Middle Eastern restaurant or one of its subcategories.
Moroccan, Egyptian, Lebanese, Turkish, and Persian foods are included examples. A menu need not contain all of those cuisines.
Counter ordering and pickup replace waiter service, while tables remain available. Table service instead invokes the Middle Eastern restaurant definition stated above.
