I think, at first glance, you might discount this wonderful restaurant. It's part of an upscale shopping center and could be easy to miss among the flashy chain restaurants and shops. A friend recommended that we try this place and I'm glad we made the...effort to try it. I had never had Egyptian food before and I'm really glad I got to try it here! I had chicken shawarma and my daughter had a vegetarian dish I have forgotten the name of. She rarely eats out and was very happy to have discovered a place with food as delicious as this. Because it was our first visit, we got a free bowl of Koshary ("vegan comfort food") to taste, it was very good! We ate until we couldn't hold another bite and took home enough for lunch today! (About that.... food is served in sturdy reusable containers that will go to the microwave and dishwasher, great bonus!) Our food was prepared fresh for us and we were eating within 15 minutes in spite of being warned that it would take a little time. The gentleman who waited on us was enthusiastic and obviously very invested in pleasing us. We were very impressed with the information he provided as he introduced us to unfamiliar foods and flavors, even taking the time to show us how to eat like Egyptians. It's so nice to meet someone who seems so genuinely excited about what he does for a living and who is willing to introduce us to something that must seem very basic to him. Additionally, this place is sparkling clean and the staff and customers were vigilant with masks and distancing the tables. I am impressed!More
