    Patio

    I recently tried Egyptian food for the first time while I was in Canada and loved it. So when I got back to LA, one of the first things I did was look for a local spot. I was excited to find Tut's Egyptian Cuisine nearby. We sat on the patio, and the propane heater definitely came in handy since it was a little chilly. I ordered the Koshari since that's what I had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this one didn't hit the same. Instead of being full of flavor, it mostly tasted like pasta with a pretty bland tomato sauce. It was disappointing. Someone in my party had the sautéed shrimp bowl and liked it, but overall everything else felt pretty forgettable to me.

    I'm giving this place two stars because not everything was bad, but my main dish was disappointing. The pros: we had the entire restaurant to ourselves, prices were very affordable, and the shrimp bowl with rice and veggies was actually pretty good. The chicken shawarma was decent, though nothing really stood out. Unfortunately, the koshari -- Egypt's national comfort dish -- fell flat. Two of us ordered it and it tasted bland, like everything was just thrown together. The dish relied heavily on the sauces, but the spicy tomato sauce actually made it worse, and the garlic sauce lacked depth. They also ran out of the manaeesh appetizer, which was odd considering we were the only ones there. Service was fine and the waiter was nice, but that alone isn't enough for us to return.

    Great and affordable meal! It was my first time trying Egyptian food and I really enjoyed it. My favorite dishes were the ful medames and the koshari. The koshari is the national dish of Egypt, and consists of rice, macaroni, and chickpeas, covered in a tomato sauce with crispy onions. It is delicious and will definitely fill you up. The grape leaves are a great bite-sized appetizer to have. And in general, all of the dishes were quite good. Plus, the food is really cheap. Make sure to peruse the desserts available at the front as well!

    Ambiance: it's a cozy Mediterranean and Egyptian restaurant, small seating area indoors, and more spacious covered patio outside Service: no one acknowledged once we walked in and had to take a menu and get seated ourselves, then placed the order at the counter, and it took a long time for food to be served, and they also forgot part of our orders and had to remind to get them Food: plenty choices of sandwiches and plates Manaeesh - *** House flatbread with cheese, and za'atar, baked crisp and fluffy, unique flavors Combo Plate - *** choices of Kofta and Beef Kabab with tahini sauce, served with Egyptian rice, hummus, pita bread, and Greek salad, kofta was good, but beef was too dry Price: decent quality and affordable prices, expect $15~$20 per person for a fulfilling meal

    I came here for a week night dinner and my experience here was pretty decent. My friend and I split the two person family meal deal with chicken kabab and gyro. The portion size was pretty big and it was a really good deal for $29! There was a lot of meat which I appreciated, but the meat to rice ratio portion was off. There was more meat than rice and I wasn't able to eat much of the meat with rice. The chicken kabab was solid, it was juicy and flavorful. However, the gyro meat was overcooked and crispy. It wasn't the most enjoyable. We notified the server about it and they offered to remake it which we appreciated, but we declined since we were pretty much done with the meal. The meal also came with hummus, pita bread, sauces, and some roasted vegetables (which I wish there was more of). The other sides were pretty good as well. The interior was good, it was reminiscent of a mom n pop shop. It was pretty clean as well. The service was good too. For parking, there's metered street parking outside. Overall, a decent experience here. Despite the overcooked gyro meat, I would come back because the prices are so good, especially for West LA. I also saw they have a $10 lunch deal which I would like to try in the future.

    Food here was yummy! The gyro meat was a little dry / overcooked however. But definitely good deal for the $! Service was friendly and inside is just a cute clean area!

    Trying tuts for the first time was great. The service was kind, friendly, and welcoming. We came in the early evening and although the outdoor seating was empty, the inside was very busy because people wanted to watch the game so if you want a nice peaceful setting with a good balance you can eat and watch the game here! We waited a little while for our food but the food was yummy and we paid attention to the detail, there was a lot of flavor and love put into the food and it was worth the short wait time. Overall we appreciated the food and service and the quality was definitely there as well as quantity. The prices were reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. We will definitely come back again.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate to go

    Well we were pleasantly surprised ! We were in LA for a short beach trip and staying close to this place. From the first look, it didn't look like much but we did decide to try it. The lunch specials are an amazing deal and delicious! Their chicken shawarma is very good. Their hummus is superb! They are generous with their portions too. The space is small with few tables but seemed cleaned and cozy. Great spot and we will come back if we are in this area.

    what a gem of a find! delicious chicken shawarma plate; there was more than enough food for two meals. or at least a meal and a half if you're particularly hungry. they have a bakery of delicious-looking treats up front that i have yet to try. seems like a small family-owned business where more people get takeout than dine in (at least on a friday evening) but the service for dine-in was still fantastic nonetheless.

    Shakshuka
    Harrison P.

    At this point, I've had both breakfast and dinner here and all I can say is, sensational. I got the plate combo with beef shawarma and gyro (which totaled at about $20). It was so dang tasty. The meats(really everything) were well seasoned and the portion was huge. For breakfast I got the Shakshuka(Normally only $14, but i got an extra egg) and again, perfectly seasoned and a good portion. I've wanted to try Shakshuka for a while and im glad this spot was my first experience. Service is great and the workers are very kind. Its a cute spot that deserves all the attention. A new go-to for me.

    Gyro PLATE. Tons of food!
    Stephen J.

    I've passed by this place hundreds of times but never went in. I was given a friend a ride and he told me to take him to this place. He said it was great so I made a note of it. I went today and ordered the Gyro. $18. There's enough food for three meals. Delicious! Only one piece of pita bread but that'll save on the carbs, right?? I got two pieces of baklava, ate 1 piece before I started my meal (walnut??). This was also delicious! I will definitely be back! Very nice young lady who greeted me and offered some suggestions!

The last time I was over here was when it was a kbbq taco spot back in the day. We arrived a bit after 1pm and the small parking lot was full, much easier to find street parking. Especially since a lot of people mentioned in their reviews a lot of take out orders. We sat in their outdoor patio area and recently it's been windy so be sure to bring a light jacket or sweater. The food took a while, but it came out hot and fresh. The owner said hi and asked if we needed anything which was a pleasant surprise. She was super welcoming! The food was delish. My friend ordered the albóndigas special she saw on social media over the weekend - so it's not always available. I got the Egyptian nachos which was beautifully played with a jalapeño cilantro hummus, chips decoratively fanned out and nice pops of color from the pickled red onions and sliced cucumbers. I am sooo full and didn't even finish my food. Gonna put the extra meat in a tortilla at home! I would recommend and will try to make it out again soon.

I really don't recommend this spot and I don't think I'd ever come back which is such a disappointment because I've been wanting to check out this spot for months. For the price I don't think it's worth it even if the meat portions are generous. Not to mention they were extremely stingy with the sauces. Kofta Egyptian nachos: these were supposed to be the best fusion dish here but it just tasted like kofta on chips. The pinto beans were barely dispersed in the nachos. The guacamole hummus was pretty good but i think the overall vibe of our dishes just let me down. Kofta yalla bowl: this tastes exactly like the nachos and I prefer it bc it's more refreshing but it's so monotonous since the portions are huge. Chicken gyro: had a small bite and it was good but nothing outstanding Esquite: this was pretty tasty but I've also never had bad esquites. Sample o Pumpkin spice horchata: too much cinnamon but also I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin spice. Sample of pollo & asada: honestly there was probably a reason why the cashier kept recommending only kofta. These were not very good; dry and lacking in flavor. The pollo was slightly better than the asada.

My friend and I shared the Shirazi salad, Hummus, and Koobideh, all of which were absolutely delicious and are great portion sizes. The koobideh was tender and paired amazing with the buttery rice, hummus was blended so smoothly and we had it with the soft lavash, and the shirazi salad was a refreshing bite in between. I will 1000% be returning soon to try new dishes. The wait was about an hour on a weekend dinner, but there are areas to walk around nearby to pass the time, so it doesn't feel too long. Additionally, parking isn't difficult to find since there's a structure to the side. It was such a scrumptious meal, and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone, the drive is worth it!

    I stopped at this restaurant while I was in the area. I saw that it was advertised as Persian, but…read moreonce I ate here, I realized it wasn't exactly what I would consider authentic Persian food. I'll start with the positives. The servers were very kind, attentive, and wonderful. The Salad Shirazi was also good. No complaints there. Now onto the rest, which unfortunately was the majority of the food. The maast-o-mosir was absolute overkill on the shallot. It completely overpowered everything else aka the yogurt. The "tadig" area of the menu really annoyed me because it was not tadig. It was much closer to tachin. For anyone who doesn't know the difference, tachin is made with yogurt and has a softer texture. Tadig takes time and skill to get that crispy, golden bottom. What I was served was soft. If you're going to advertise tadig, it should actually be tadig. Then there was the gheymeh, which is my favorite Persian dish. Unfortunately, this was a really bad version of it. The cinnamon was completely overdone. It basically tasted like split peas, cinnamon, and water soup. The chicken didn't taste marinated at all and was incredibly bland, and the rice was just meh. I came here because of all the good reviews and had pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to living up to them. The service was great, but when I go to a Persian restaurant, especially as a Persian, the food has to taste like Persian food.
