My friend introduced me to this restaurant and once the owner found out it was my first time there, she made it a point to acquaint me with Egyptian and Mediterranean food. We started off with an eggplant dish and had some very tasty chicken kebobs. She frequented the table often and was so personable; I swear I would like to go back.
She had such pride in her family's restaurant and was very insistent that I come back. There is also a takeout section of this restaurant and they are very open to catering your private party. You just have to call before hand to make the reservation.
Definitely the winner of all the food items there is the baklava, this I took home in a box.
Expect delicious exotic meals, with great service and good prices. Luxor is also downtown so it's very easy to get to.
