A partner with a Lawrenceville health law boutique claims in a federal suit that he and three clients were ordered to leave a Houston’s restaurant in Buckhead because they were minorities.
Yussuf Abdel-aleem of Joseph, Aleem & Slowik has sued Houston’s Restaurants of Georgia and its parent company, Hillstone Restaurant Group, claiming that he and three corporate executives were ousted from Houston’s on Peachtree Road by the restaurant’s white manager during a business meeting in April.
