| - Why on earth is this place listed under "Pizza"? It most certainly isn't a pizza joint; what it is, is a fantastic little independent restaurant on 17th Ave that serves great Egyptian and Middle Eastern (and Mediterranean) food.
I've walked by this place a few times, simply because it is a hole in the wall. What I learned is that you truly can't know how good a place is by the image it portrays. In a small little establishment the size of a good sized kitchen, you'll find a nice, older woma-- who I can only assume is Egyptian. She will serve you some great food quickly, but with a lot of care.
The portions are big and if you aren't looking for a hot meal and there are some takeaway options like beef patties and the like.
I almost laughed when I was asked if it was to stay or to go, but that really is my only gripe. It wouldn't be the same, though, if it were any bigger and sometimes the food speaks for itself, so the window dressing really doesn't matter.
This is a great place for a quick lunch, an after-drink snack, or to pick up dinner before you head home after work.
