"We have a diversity of customers all over, from Palestine,Iraq,Morocco,Uzbekistan, America ,China, from Vietnam - just all over," said Moni Khan, who bought Al-Sham last January. Arabic script artwork decorates the tangerine walls, an Islamic prayer time clock hangs near the register and an array of Arab desserts immediately entices customers when they walk in. Al-Sham is one of a handful of Arab restaurants on the two-block stretch of Bustleton that provide an important sense of community, a place for new immigrants to shop and come together.
