The diarrhea may have been the result of the charcoal/laxative doing its job. She is fine now, AlhamduleAllah. Please note that we have been happy patrons of this restaurant for years with no issues. I will be calling them now to report the same. Hopefully this was an isolated incident and they will conduct proper an investigation and take necessary corrective measures to insure this doesn’t happen again.

I would like to mention that I contacted the restaurant and the manager assured me that they take the matter very seriously and immediately started investigating it.
