3 months agoAmazing place to hand out especially on a Friday or a Saturday night. They have live performances starting at 8:30p. Both the female and male performers are amazing. The music can be loud so it would be better to seat somewhere in the middle away from the speakers. The food is amazing as well- just tried the vegetarian. Don’t order the drinks apart from beer and fruit juices- they are not that great in the cocktail area.

4 months agoVery unique place, both decor and flavors. We got the combination platters and it was plentiful. A great find for those craving the foods of the Middle East / Africa in Puerto Rico.

10 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.
