This the closest thing you’ll get to Egyptian ta3miya (falafel) you can find here. Food was very good.

I wish I was a better food photographer ‘cause witnessing a cross-section of these sandwiches is practically pornographic. So much color, so much flavor - the only reason I’m tempted to dock ‘em a star is for occasional inconsistency. Sometimes I’ll get a hawawshi (think sumac[?]-spiced sloppy joe that lost a fight with a panini press) or a falafel pita and the distribution of the fillings won’t be *quite* right. It’s a bit of a bummer to chomp through half a pita’s worth of cold salad before finally finding a piping-hot falafel!That said, when their filling game is on point, it’s divine. The whole operation is excellent, too: ordering’s a breeze at the kiosk, the dining area itself is bright and spacious, there’s easily-accessible tap water in a delightful copper jug, and the food always comes out quickly. I hadn’t had much Egyptian food before finding this place, but I’ve sure eaten a lot of it since.Aliens may not have built the pyramids, but angels definitely made these sandwiches.Vegetarian options: Eggplant and falafel options galore!

Overall rating: 4.4I was very excited to try Egyptian when I found this place on Google. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I know I was hoping for unique food. I was a bit surprised when I went it was mostly a variation of halaal. I also didn’t realize the place was mostly vegetarian and think its description should be updated.I think I got the basic halal with beet and another sauce. The sauce was reallly good!! I would go back for the beet sauce. But the food ended up being a side to my beet sauce.The staff seemed very friendly but it was so bright. Wish they could lower it just a tad. If you’re a vegetarian, I think you’re going to like this place a tad more.

Woah is all I gotta say. Atmosphere is FIRE, design is INCREDIBLE and the food is UNBELIEVABLE. If you’ve never been here it’ll stand out from anything you’ve ever seen at a food establishment, highly recommend a visit! One thing I must know, is there lavender in the falafel? ?

Great hidden gem! Loved the ordering kiosks; I’m not familiar with Egyptian food so I appreciated the pictures of the different items. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Just the right portion size to fill you up for a day in the
