Definitely worth the wait.
We came at 12:15pm for brunch on a Sunday and waited 1 hour for a table for 2. We had been wanting to try this place for some time now and it did not disappoint.
The restaurant is super quaint with limited seating but super cozy. There is a couch seating near the front of the restaurant by the window which looked super cute.
Maha was working at the kitchen and it was easy to spot her. The entire staff was very friendly and acknowledged the long wait times. Service was great and prompt.
We ordered:
- Shrimp Po Boy - must get. It was so flavourful and not at all too oily. The mayo/sauce they used was the perfect sauce to balance out the deep fried shrimp. We wanted another one after!
- Mind-Blowing Chicken - so good! very flavourful with all the herbs used to mix the chicken! I definitely enjoyed this. The bun was lightly toasted and it was a delicious mess cause Maha gave so much chicken!
- Cairo Classic - as we aren't used to eating beans and some of the more traditional flavours, we did enjoy this as it was different from our normal choices. The foole was tasty but again, we probably just aren't used to the flavours.
The lattes were made with care as we watched at the front while we waited for our spot so we did not hesitate to try the cappuccino and the honey cardamom latte. Thoroughly enjoyed both although they could have been a little hotter.
All in all, a solid brunch place and definitely will be back!
