What happened after Mystery Diners?

Dar Salam, a Mediterranean restaurant in Portland, Oregon, appeared on Mystery Diners season 8, episode 4, "Robbed Kabobs," which aired 2014-10-27. Mystery Diners is a series in which an owner concerned about a service or staff problem allows hidden cameras and undercover diners into the business, then reviews the footage with the host for a coaching session on fixes. According to Wikipedia's article on the series, citing its sources, the investigations are arranged in advance and scripted for television rather than being spontaneous. The restaurant's current site, darsalamrestaurant.com, lists its downtown location at 320 SW Alder St, describes itself as an "Authentic Mediterranean Restaurant in Portland," offers online ordering and pickup, and posts hours including Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The site also lists a second, separate DarSalam location on NE Alberta Street. Together, the online-ordering option and posted current hours indicate the downtown restaurant continues to operate under the same name and at the same address associated with the episode.
