    Excellent Egyptian food, service was just okay, could have been more attentive considering we were the only ones in there. We were there between lunch and dinner so can't say what it would be like during lunch or dinner hours and the ambiance was nice for a strip mall location.

    Go here! I just visited again today and this place is a hidden gem!!! The staff is lovely, the food is great and you'll get some of the best hummus and flatbread you've ever had. Fresh, hot, delicious. This clean little restaurant is great for casual lunch or dinner. Help keep great little independent restaurants thriving in this area!!

    Had a lovely lunch here the other day! The first thing you notice when you walk up to this new Hazel Dell restaurant are 2 life size Egyptian/Pharaoh looking statues. They are a nice welcoming touch! We took selfies with them for fun! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and helpful. I asked her what menu item she liked best and she pointed to the Nefertiti Special. It comes with a mixture of chicken or lamb or one can choose either one exclusively. I got the mix and it was good! It came with buttery seasoned rice and a fresh salad with cucumbers, onions and tomatoes with a lemony dressing. It comes with hummus but I love Babaganoush and she subbed that in with no extra charge. I also had one of their chocolate garnished baklavas in a cigar shape. Everything was delicious! It's nice to have another Mediterranean restaurant in Clark County. I'll be back for sure!

    How wonderful for us to be able to welcome delicious Middle Eastern food to North County! Nefertiti offers many dishes on its menu that you will recognize if you like Arabic food, and some that are house specialties, like the Nefertiti special, which I had. It consisted of delicious fresh veggies mixed with your choice of chicken, lamb or a mix of the two that is nicely spiced. Rice and a salad of cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and parsley with a tangy lemony dressing. Oh and hummus and soft warm pita triangles is also included, making it a great value! They let me substitute baba ganoush for the hummus and didn't charge extra. They also have several kinds of baklava, including one with chocolate & walnuts. Fabulous! Our server and the woman who appeared to be the owner running the cash register were friendly and gracious. I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu! You should try it too!

    Pretty good overall. Hummus was very tasty. The beef kabob was better than the lamb and the rice addition was excellent. Definitely eating here again but maybe not an hour before closing.

    I put in an order to go - they were friendly and pretty quick with my order. The place is nice with some fun Egyptian decor and statues. The gyro and falafel were so good. I would pass on the fries and hummus next time( bland flavor).

    We tried the new Nefertiti Egyptian restaurant on HWY 99 last night. We had the hummus, warm pita bread, gyro and garlic fries. Everything was absolutely wonderful! Very tasty tzatziki, awesome gyro and some of the best fries ever. They were almost like very light potato skins.. but not skins? Love the spices and how they use subtle hints of lemon. Sooo good! Makes my mouth water to think of it again. They've only been open for a little over a month now and honestly I don't think there are too many kinks to work out as a new restaurant. Our waitress was super warm and welcoming, the place was spotless, and they have a great menu! And the food... DELICIOUS!

    Nefertiti special with hummus included
    Maria A.

    Great service and yummy food! We like that the food warm-hot when they came out, even the pita bread! We ordered Baba Ganoush, Nefertiti dish (chicken and lamb) and Nefertiti special (chicken) --all yummy!!! We'll be back!

    Call me a pharaoh because I felt like a king eating here. It's a nondescript restaurant facade in a small shopping center off hwy 99 on a busy section. You may have been driving past it for months. I was. Don't let that fool you. The seating is comfortable and plenty. The staff helpful and kind. But best of all, the food! We had the Veggie Mazza Platter to get us a taste of many things. I didn't expect much because it looks like a typical menu. These dishes are at the top of the food pyramid. Fantastic! The hummus was uniquely spectacular, so creamy and with its own special seasoning. The baba ghanoush was the best I've had. Dolmas were not as tart as I'd like but the flavor was more than balanced. The falafel? Most and seasoned perfectly. Great texture on the outside and inside. Even the greens and reds were satisfying. The whole dish was gobbled up. I ordered lentil soup because I've always loved lentil soup. That soup was so good we had to order another. So good! It's almost not a lentil soup because it's not grainy or lumpy and it's so delicately seasoned that you forget it's good for you. If you don't like lentil soup, you must try it. It'll change your mind. The pita was so fresh and scrumptious. Our friends had the Shawarma and the Nefertiti wrap. Both were exceptional! We all agreed we're going back. And I think I have a new favorite lentil soup/falafel/hummus platter spot. Queen Nefertiti never had it so good.

    veggie mezze platter
    Nicole K.

    YUM. The food here is fantastic. The service is super friendly and attentive. The veggie mezze platter was one of the finest we've had (and we've had them all over). The baba ganoush was super smoky, the dolmas were delicious, the falafel was crispy, and the pickled cabbage was delightful. The platter could use tzatziki, but the gyro came with it so we used that with the falafel. The meal came with unlimited pita as well. The boba tea feels out of left field (it was good, though) - looking at the first review from earlier this year we now understand how that happened. The decor feels a little unfinished, but don't let that put you off. The food belongs in a much higher-end location than in this random shopping center.

    BEST MEAL IN PORTLAND!!!!!…read more Saw this place randomly while looking for a place to eat after a long flight. It was late and not many places were open. This place was closed but a middle eastern place that serves cheesecake was soo intriguing that i knew i needed to come back. Came back Saturday night and they had no tables and was packed. However, they tried to accommodate us so much. However, the night was in our favor. As we started to order take out, a lady was kind enough to give up her table since she was eating alone. It was a small table for 3 people but the staff was sooo accommodating i have no words. They even gave free dessert to the lady who was kind. Then luck would have it, the table next to us never showed up for their reservation so they gave us that table. Finally, we ordered. Turned out, i also got the last shawarma too. Everything happens for a reason! We also got the Saudi chicken kabsa and cheesecakes. The biggest compliment i can give is when the food came, none of us talked for a good 5-7 mins and just sat there in heaven eating. The flavors were soo unique but yet so familiar. If this is Saudi food, i have been missing out. I need to explore more sub categories of middle eastern cuisine. Best bites in Portland for us and that's all i have to describe our experience. Finally, got the Nutella cheesecake and almond caramel cheesecake. I have to say, Nutella was good but easily a skip compared to almond and caramel. Just get 2 of those and you'll be happy. The cakes itself are light and not heavy. They were great end to a great meal. This is a family owned but family loved business. You can see the love as they serve their guests but you can taste the love too. The people are soo sweet and kind and just want to serve you. Please give your love here, because if i lived in Portland, this would my weekly spot.
