Tennessee falafel shop named Reader's Digest 'Nicest Place in America'

Yassin Terou is a Syrian refugee who came to the U.S. seven years ago and opened Yassin's Falafel House in Knoxville, Tennessee.

I'm Canadian. One of the reasons why I love Canada is the FOOD!!! We have many wonderful groups of immigrants who bring their food, and share it. Makes for a delicious landscape! So, be as racist as you like. Be raging, full-on bigots. It's your lose. You are missing out on a whole lotta happy! Congratulations Terou family, and Knoxville Tennessee!

The oldest daughter named Judy actually used to go to my school but she got bullied so much she decided to go to another school so I’m just rewatching these videos to remember her 🙁

I'm from Knoxville, and Yassin's is one of the best restaurants in the area. The amazingly welcoming atmosphere and the sense of community is stunning. The areas surrounding Knoxville have been resistant to outsiders even within my lifetime, but to see this change, and to see people from all political parties and faiths sharing this space and engaging in a friendly way has been a blessing. Thank you so much, Yassin.

Thank you GMA and Reader’s Digest for highlighting and sharing the positive side of Muslims and immigrants away from the stereotype and dirty politics.

I visited and asked if they serve halal meat and was told yes they do. Please watch the link and understand what we are allowing to happen in the US. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonQc2ywqKaElac I am glad he is living the American dream but I care about animals and this should not be allowed. This is inhumane and PETA is against halal.

Lol yes I'm crying 😭😭😭

[@littlesame]

Humans are equal regardless of skin colors, religions and languages. It’s people like him that make America great, not the nastiness from DC and his racist supporters.

I have always discovered that the Syrians are creative, with the drama and the early representation of the Arab world, such as Yasser Al-Azmah, the theater artist Duraid Lahham, the Hollywood actor Ghassan Massoud, the international actor Jihad Abdo, and directed by Mostafa Akkad, The following is invented Tom and Jerry .. Singing George Wassouf and Sabah Fakhri .. And music world musician Malik Jendali .. Baldbalge and Opera Golden Throat Rasha Rizk .. And the wounds of the global surgeon Ismail Khatib and neurologist Suhail Najjar .. And poetry poet Nizar Qabbani .. And painting The world wrestler Omar Hamdy Malfa .. Wrestling World wrestling Sami Zin champion NXT .. And the football Omar Omar .. And chess championship champion America for four times in a row and the world chess Yasser Sirwan .. Even by invention Steve Jobs son of Syrian Abdul Fattah Jandali who invented the iPhone .. Actually the Syrians are creative 🇸🇾️️

My new main man. He represents what this country should stand for in the eyes of the world. We still need to know who is in this country though. This man went about immigration the correct way.
