I've had problems ordering here in the past due to language differences, ordering through doordash or one of those outfits made it very easy to schedule a pickup. We tried the baba ganoush this time, koshari with fried liver, stuffed green peppers, and little rice and meat sausages. Prices are super reasonable- too- Everything was excellent, not a complaint at all! And that's rare for me. Oh yeah a complaint, allow a lot of time clarify with the restaurant exactly how much time it will take because everything is made to order and it is not a 15 or 20 minute deal. But well worth it.

Let's get the elephant out of the room first…read more Ambience: Non-existent. Interior looks bare. It has a few seating. This is not a spot for a romantic date. We got takeout and were very satisfied. Food: I've had Egyptian before in NYC and I liked this much more. Here's what we ordered: Dolmas (stuffed grapeleaves). They were served hot. Never had them hot and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The stuffing was soft inside with a hint of sourness. Completely different from the typical cold pickled versions we had. I usually have 2-3 pieces but this time we ate the whole pound of it. Stuffed Cornish hen. This order takes a while, so order ahead. At first, we were not impressed by the meat. Not bad, very moist and meat fell off the bone. But, then we ate it with the stuffed rice. Rich umami. All the flavor went into the rice. Very rich flavor and together it was delicious. I would add hot sauce to the mix. Chicken kabob. All breast meat. Decent portion. It was not dry and very well spiced. My in-laws loved it. I'm not a fan of white meat but recognize that it was done well. Stuffed eggplant. Indian eggplant. Also hot version. Firm exterior, soft interior. Cuts through really well to share. Definitely like it more than the cold appetizer i've had elsewhere. More on the milder side so other dishes tasted better. Biftek (fried breaded thin steak). Fried very well. Didn't get soggy in the container so the kitchen knew to let it cool and stay crispy. Nothing bad but also not special. Many different cuisine does the same thing. Needs a dip. I would order it again and I imagine kids with a tunnel vision palate would like it too because it's like chicken nugget and french fries to them. Meat shawarma. This was disappointing. It's not bad but boring compared to all the other dishes. It's pretty much meat over rice but since I come from the city, it doesn't stack up against the lamb/chicken over rice from halal carts. It was a little dry and came with tahini (hummus based). Pretty sure this version is more authentic but I'm biased to the lamb over rice covered in white sauce. If you never had Egyptian before, it's in between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern because it is both but at the same time different enough to be its own category. There's a Greek restaurant in the same plaza and I would say the fare is completely different although their dishes overlap in the menu. They are not comparable. Verdict: We ordered more food the very next day. Until we try other restaurants in the area, this is currently my favorite Egyptian restaurant.

Huge also... def a shareable. One thing they def do well here is their bread. The complementary bread and the olive oil was super good. The yogurt chicken shish was a miss. You can tell from the picture . It was bread soaked in tomato sauce (not great tomato sauce either) with some yogurt and pieces of chicken breast. The chicken tasted like it was heated up and not freshly cooked. It tasted more weird Italian than Turkish. Maybe I just got the wrong thing. If I lived here I would give it another chance. The bread was amazing and I'm sure their desserts and good. Seems family run and they were very nice.

The menu is perfect for sharing family-style, and we especially loved the complimentary puffy bread (which is even better with an order of one of their dips!). Our group shared a few appetizers along with the Sultan Plate (large meat platter for 4-6 people), which comes with a dramatic flame presentation and a generous assortment of meats. Everything was flavorful and we all enjoyed trying the different varieties. The adana kebab was one of my personal favorites. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. There are two beautiful private dining rooms near the front that'd be perfect for a party. In general, highly recommend dining here with a group!

Our friend saw a video on TikTok advertising this restaurant. Unfortunately, when it comes to TikTok, sometimes they hype things up. For appetizer we got the hummus. Now the hummus was delicious! Very good hummus. I definitely recommend getting that. It came with bread so we used that for the hummus. Then we decided to get one of the oven specialty to share. We decided to get the mixed pie. All the ingredients in the mixed pie sounded good but in my opinion, the flavors didn't mesh well it tasted a little bland. The portion size of the pie is great, which makes it shareable. But I would skip the mixed pie and try one of their other oven specialties. As for my main entrée I decided to get the Gyro. Again, I didn't enjoy it enough to eat it all and I had leftovers and I didn't enjoy it enough to wanna take it home. Overall, the service was great and the people there were friendly. The establishment is very pretty and they have a section where you can host a small party. I will say just because I didn't enjoy my meal as much doesn't mean you won't.

Everything was served over their qabuli rice with a few sauces and a fresh cucumber salad on the side. The green sauce especially added a nice kick.
