| - I'd been hearing so many good things about this place even before it blew up and I finally got a chance to go on a Tuesday afternoon. I was expecting a wait, so that didn't come as a surprise. My boyfriend and I waited for about 20 minutes before we were seated, and we ordered the Falafel as the appetizer, the Cairo Classic, and Maha's Mind Blowing Chicken. I also ordered a Cortado as my drink.
We could tell it was going to take a while for the food to come because the people beside us and in front of us were seated way before us and still hadn't received their food (TIP: Do not come to this place if you are really really hungry).
I was expecting at least my cortado to come, but that didn't come. Finally, after about another 20 minutes, our food came (Chicken & Cairo Classic), however when my boyfriend asked about the falafel, the waitress admitted she forgot about it and went back to notify the kitchen...This was disappointing since we wanted to start off with the falafels.
The food itself was good. I really liked the chicken, I can't even begin to think about how many calories that thing must have had but it tasted like a shawarma chicken would, but much more delicious. The Cairo Classic was pretty good as well, but nothing special. When the falafels finally arrived, they were truly fantastic as the waitress had recommended.
At this point, I was still waiting for my cortado...so I asked the waitress again and she said she had forgotten once again....and that she will bring it. Ten minutes later, it still wasn't there and we had finished our food. So I asked if I can just have the cortado to go, the guy who made the cortado came up to me with the cortado in a regular cup and said "I had just finished making it but I guess I'll put it in a cup for you to go now" as if it was the hardest thing to do and such an inconvenience for him....
All in all, the service here absolutely sucks...I understand it's a small place and there aren't too many people working in the kitchen, but come on....
If you want to go, go on a weekday, and earlier in the day. Weekends are insane here...I think we will probably go back, but maybe when the hype dies down and it gets less busy. The wait is not worth the service you get. The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because of the food and the decor (very cute place). Get some quicker and more attentive servers and this place would be 5 star for sure.
