I visited from Ohio and had the pleasure to try their food. It was truly delicious. I felt like I was back in Egypt. The food was amazing and the workers were super nice.

I recently dined at the restaurant, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in flavors that truly delighted the palate. However, what truly stood out to me was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and impeccable service. The people working there seemed passionate about their craft, and it truly reflected in their interactions with the guests. Additionally, the owner was actively involved, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that guests were well taken care of. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I can't wait to visit again

Good spot to stop in for a quick meal before a concert at the Observatory. Chicken salad was a large serving and pita bread was fluffy. I wouldn definitely stop in again.

Wow! Amazing Mediterranean Food - Huge Portions & Great Service!I don't usually write reviews, but this place is an exception! I was searching high and low on Google for good, affordable Mediterranean food with big portions. My friend had never tried it before, so I wanted to find a good spot. Scrolled through tons of options and landed on this one - something just felt right!The service was fantastic. So patient, friendly, and helpful with explaining everything to my friend. We decided on the chicken and lamb plates. The price for the chicken was awesome, especially compared to other places. Plus, it's not a sit-down restaurant so I saved money on tipping (although they totally deserve it if you can swing it!).But then the food came out, and WOW! The portions were HUGE compared to anywhere else. Seriously, I felt like I won the jackpot! The server brought this giant basket overflowing with fresh-baked pita bread - warm, fluffy, and incredible. It was like a bread miracle! We each grabbed a few pieces (maybe 6 total?), and it was plenty (I might have forgotten the exact number, oops!). The best part? No extra charge for all that amazing bread! Plus, it came with three different dipping sauces: the classic tzatziki, olive oil with hummus, and this insanely good garlic butter.The meat portions were enormous, super flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Especially the chicken - I couldn't believe how much flavor it had on its own, no sauce needed! They gave us a ton of rice too, which I loved. The salad was a perfect Mediterranean mix with feta cheese, olives, and red onions. Usually, I devour all my Mediterranean food and never have leftovers, but this time? I had a whole plate to take home! I was SO stuffed, but the chicken was just too good to stop eating (seriously, chicken, wow!).My friend, who has a huge appetite (athlete problems!), cleaned his plate too. The staff was amazing, kept checking in on us even though it's not a waiter service kind of place. It honestly felt like a full-service restaurant! If I lived closer, this would be my go-to spot, hands down.Five stars for sure! The place was very clean, including the restrooms, and had a great Mediterranean vibe with the music videos playing.This is a hidden gem you don't want to miss!

This place is LEGIT!! We were in the area and needed to find something, so we stopped in here.It’s a little hole in the wall, and it’s in kind of a weird complex, but the food was AMAZING!!They bring out HOT fresh pita and a trio of dips while you wait for your food.And then there was SO much food!! The chicken salad easily had 10-12 oz of chicken. The loaded fries were huge too.And everything was delicious.I would 100% go here again. For sure felt like a hidden gem.

The perfect place to experience the Egyptian generosity and hospitality. Knowing that we were fasting, the Chef/Owner offered us complimentary dates, desserts, and drinks. The restaurant have a secret seafood menu that can be inquired about by calling. Plan to call an hour or two before visiting the store since seafood takes longer to cook.
