The food is prepared well and the place is cute, quaint and appealing to the eye. It's family owned and you can really see it with all the culture they've infused into the business itself as it looks like a second home.
Start with a drink because you'll need something during the wait for your food. The honey cardamom latte is permeated with cardamom. The honey sits afloat and you taste it every sip. You could also try the Egyptian mint tea prepared sweetly with sugar and fresh mint leaves.
What I love is that their dishes consist of simple ingredients and extraordinary flavours. That's my favourite type of breakfast. The Cairo Classic is a staple - both hearty and wholesome with fava beans, falafel, boiled egg, and pita. It sounds simple but the spices and ingredients take it to another level. The arnabeet is my favorite and contains fried cauliflower drizzled with sauce in a pita. Swap out the traditional home fries for some cumin fries because I couldn't get enough - they're seasoned so well!
The date grilled cheese is either love or hate. If you like a sweet note near your cheese you should try this. My recommendation is to get the lentil soup with it because it's very good and something they're famous for. On the other hand, the mind blowing chicken sandwich was flavored well but didn't live up to its claims. That little egg bun trying to contain all the marinated chicken is just as bad as me trying to contain the girls in a tight top on a night out - it just ain't happening. It's filling but it didn't floor me like the other dishes.
As much as I love their food, they have very long wait times. It ranges from 45 minutes to 1.5 hrs on a weekday to get a table. Service in the restaurant is also slow - you're looking at an hour or so to get your food. I hope they get the wait under wraps because that's the only thing keeping me away.
