Review from Julianna B.

This takeout & eat-in joint has reportedly been open for about thirty years now, but has recently reopened with fresh signage and fixtures. It's bright and comfortable.
The staff aren't Egyptian, but the menu is; the kofta is worth the 10-minute wait for it to be freshly grilled, the garlic beets are gloriously, viciously garlicky, and the shawarma meat is flavourful and moist. The fateer didn't strike me as awfully authentic, and I've never had samosas in Egypt, but hey, they're probably tasy too. At $10.50 for a plate with one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a choice of rice, it's a great deal. I'll come back to town when they have karkade! -

Take-out is tasty and filling, but we almost didn't come back after a terrible experience a few years ago. Back then, we were the only table in the restaurant one weekday, trying to enjoy our lunch, but the waitress completely disappeared after the food came. No checking in, no water refill, nothing. Like, poof, gone. I had to go to the back of the restaurant to find her when we wanted to leave.
