5 months agoI love this place... don't let the parking intimidate you, it's worth it. The restaurant offers a unique experience from the moment you enter until the moment you leave. The decor is awesome and sets a great atmosphere in Egypt. The food was spectacular. For appetizers, we tried the hummus, which was the best I've ever had. For the main course, we shared the meat combination, which included several types of meat, cucumber with tomatoes, and rice with almonds. The meat was tender and juicy, and the rice with almonds was perfectly cooked. Finally, we tried the baklava, which was absolutely delicious. The cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

8 months agoOutstanding service accompanied by awesome cuisine. The extensive menu offers a lot of options to choose from. The ambiance is superb, adorned with tasteful decor. On a Sunday night, we experienced prompt and impeccably presented dishes. Convenient parking is available right in front of the restaurant, and credit cards are accepted for added convenience.

a year agoWe ordered the appetizer tray "Maza" that brings almost all regular appetizers. It was amazing. The flavors were really balanced and distinguishable. For the main dish, we ordered lamb. We were expecting a little bit more flavor like with the appetizers. One of the dishes tasted like like tomato sauce and the one pictured was a little bland. The rice and the cucumber salad were really good. Overall we liked it and plan on coming back, but will try something else as for the main dish.
