Koshary - very flavorful rice based dish, twist of added macaroni was surprisingly good, fried onions toppings was pretty good too. Although the fried onions didn't seem freshly fried Spicy fried eggplant - Very unique dish with beautiful flavors. A wetter roasted eggplant, goes well with pita bread. Eggplant is super soft and juicy inside, with slightly spicy toppings, wrap it in a hot fresh pita is perfect. Molakheya - chicken is very soft and tender, with seasonings well preserved in the meat. It comes with chicken vegetable soup, interesting sour flavor. Baklava - it's perfect. You can feel the layers crunchy and melt in your mouth with right amount of sweetness Staff are very friendly!

It is my first time to go to Cairo Kebab. I had friends visiting from another state, so I invited them to try Egyptian food. Food is of great quality. Service is so friendly, ambiance is Egyptian 1990s to 2000s. Definitely recommend and will go again.

Highly highly recommend!!!!Vegetarian options: Halal meatDietary restrictions: Hala
Delicious !!! The service is friendly . On a cold day their soups are perfect. The wraps are large and very filling and come with fries. Dining in and delivery the quality of the food is same and that's hard to find.

Great experience. Food was excellent, staff was lovely, and atmosphere was very pleasant :)Also very good prices for the portions of food overall!My favorite part of the meal was the falafel and baklava (plus the free bread)

Amazing family run restaurant with fantastic ambiance. Great Egyptian food. Authentic koshary. The lemon mint drink is super refreshing. The Cairo platter is a wonderful sampler. Ful + baba ghanoush were awesome. Wrap it up with some mint tea and you’ve had a quick trip to Cairo.
*The restaurant vibe is more than perfect ? *Staff are super friendly and welcoming ?*The food here is in a different level ? super delicious ? I had a great time with my family. Definitely I would visit you again, once I'm back from Toronto Thanks a lot to everyone in Cairo kabab restaurant.

THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME!! The servers were super funny and such good hosts even though we came so late, the interior is great but the food is even better! I'm not a huge meat person but the lamb was quite delicious, the falafel hot as well as crispy and the eggplants?! don't even get me started (coming from an eggplant lover)
