First off, I had absolutely no idea what Feteers were, but it definitely piqued my interest. I had the beef Sojuk Kiri. Wow was it delicious. The crust is crispy and had a nice crunch to it. Combine that with the beef and pickled veggies and you have shortcut to flavor town. The employee was also very nice and offered me a drink while I waited. Awesome service and amazing food guarantees that I'll come back again. They also have vegetarian options as well!

Oh my gosh! This place is amazing!…read more I came across this place on a random Yelp search while in the area, and man am I thankful that it did! This place doesn't have 4.9 stars @ ~300 reviews for no reason, trust me, they've earned it! :) I've had Egyptian cuisine before, but I've not had feteer until this evening. Calling it an Egyptian pizza is the easiest way to describe it, but I don't feel that does it proper justice. The various cheeses make for a complex flavor that matches well with the meat and creates a wonderful consistency with the double sided dough. It may appear small in size, but it's so full of cheesy, meaty, veggie, doughy goodness that one of these can easily feed two hungry adults no problem. On the owners recommendation we ordered a Halal Beef Soujok Kiri, and my son wanted to try the Beef Shawarma. He offered to add spice, so I had him add a bit to the Soujok and it really added as wonderful depth of flavor to the mix. Both were incredibly tasty though, and my family loved them! I also ordered a mixed "sweet pie" that had a row of Nutella, Lotus (Biscoff Cookie), and Sugar and Milk mix which allowed us to try all three flavors. My fam really loved the Nutella, but I enjoyed the Lotus more overall. Regardless, be sure to make room for dessert when you come here, because it's delicious! We also got a side of the spicy vegetables, which was a bit much for the kids, but my wife and I really enjoyed it. The owner also threw in a few Egyptian sodas - my kids loved the Orange flavored ones, but I recommend the Apple flavor as it's malted, which really gives it a unique flavor! :) The service was amazing! It was the owner holding the place down when we got there, but he was friendly, patient, and more than happy to explain everything and guide us to something that everyone was sure to enjoy! The ambiance is that of a small, family owned eatery. Some seating in the front with some music playing, and a small window into the back where you can see the magic happening as he whips up his wonderful creations! This place is top-shelf for sure! Even if you've never experienced Egyptian food before, I assure you this is one of the better ways to try it! The prices are reasonable, the owner is a great guy, and the food is amazing! I promise you won't be let down! We'll most certainly be returning, and I hope to see you there! :)

Came in last night for a quick bite.

Both dishes were good but not amazing. Another customer came in and I overheard him say, "this seems more like a hookah spot than a food spot." I'd have to agree with him

Came here for the first time with friends on our lunch break. We really enjoyed the food. We…read moreordered the Koshary, Lamb Kabsa, Stuffed Pigeon with Rice, and the Kunafa for dessert. We sought out the Koshary because it is the national dish of Egypt. It was really delicious especially with their garlic and hot sauce added to it. The Lamb Kabsa was really good as well. The flavors were great and I would definitely order it again if I was craving lamb. The Stuffed Pigeon sounded really unique and I'm glad that we ordered it. It was our first time trying pigeon and we all enjoyed it. The meat is pretty tender and the skin was crispy. Definitely a must try if you're at the restaurant. We shared the Kunafa, which we also really enjoyed. The center of the dessert is filled with a sweet custard. You have the option of adding Nutella on the top of the dessert which we didn't do. My main complaint is with the service because our server was constantly away and on two occasions, I had to search for him to place our order and to follow up on payment. The restaurant wasn't very busy as we were one of three tables that were occupied. Our lunch duration was easily extended 30-minutes due to the lack of service. We dined outside. There was a tv playing music. The noise level wasn't too loud as the restaurant wasn't that busy at the time. I will definitely come back for the food, but it would have to be on a day where my schedule can absorb long lunch. If I was strictly rating my experience based off food, I would rate the restaurant a 5/5. Factoring the poor service in dropping my score to a 3/5.

I love the floral and pistachio taste, and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. The mint lemonade is also a must have- tastes like it came from the garden in the best way possible. For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.

Between the spices and flavors, this is one delicious meal. It tasted fresh and light, but yet fulfilling. This place costs $30, but it's worth it.
