Deep Ellum's Amsterdam Falafelshop, the falafel hotspot that started in Washington D.C., is celebrating its first anniversary this month. What does that mean for you? Cheaper food and live music.

From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on May 26, customers to the shop will be able to get their hands on $1 pint beers (they have six craft beers on tap) and $1 falafel bowls and sandwiches. For a bit more money than you can find in your couch cushions (but still cheaper than usual), you can also get $1 off shawarma bowls and sandwiches.

Local band Chilldren of Indigo will be providing the live music. One of the band's members works at the restaurant.

If you've never been to Amsterdam Falafelshop, you order at the counter, then choose your own toppings at a buffet line. As mentioned in Leslie Brenner's mini-review of the restaurant, toppings include "baba ghanoush and hummus, 'naked salad' of tomatoes and cukes, sweet tomatoey Turkish salad, red cabbage, pickled beets and more. To add zest and zing, there are pickles and red pepper sauce and jalapeno-cilantro, and - my favorite - a garlicky, vinegary, parsley torator sauce."

Amsterdam Falafelshop opened in May 2016 at 2651 Commerce St. in Deep Ellum.
