In a world full of mildly-inconvenienced “Karens” with access to the
internet, floundering Friendly Falafel restaurant owner, Ganush, fights for five-star reviews in this light-hearted comedy that is deep-fried in fun, fake accents, and falafels for the whole family.
At first, blissfully unaware of the review-aggedon, Navia, Ganush’s
perceptive younger daughter, brings the Foody Broodies to his attention. An online hot spot for moms to review, recommend, or rip apart local restaurants, schools, and other businesses. When one bad review about being a few falafels short causes a ripple effect of negative feedback from other users about his business, Ganush goes undercover with a fake mom profile
to infiltrate the site.
While pulling out all the stops, offering free falafels on the fly, and
hunting down a disgruntled customer to finesse his five-stars, Ganush continues to treat the people around him with a five-star attitude, regardless of their shortcomings. From dealing with a lackadaisical employee, unreliable customers, an assertive bellydancer, and a discerning daughter, Ganush is an excellent role model and father figure in this new landscape unique to sitcom television for the first time—a one-stop family falafel shop.
Ganush’s pursuit for glowing reviews seems questionable, but never impossible.
