| - Ive been waiting for this place to open for almost two months!
Iman, the lovely owner and a really awesome person just opened today and Im excited to say, you will not be unimpressed.
Here is why I gave it 5 stars...
Environment: Laid back, very lounge like. Really gives off the aura of an Egyptian/Arabic kickback. Really cool to see the original pots used in cultural/traditional Aravic cooking (Hence the name, Pots)
Also when you look in, the first thing you see is the drop-in for food preparations and also the kitchen.
Staff: Very welcoming, very diverse and extremely well dressed for the occupation. I know it's the first day, and usually staff is gonna be extra happy and excited but personality always shines through and shows a person's true color.
Food: I wish I could have more details on the names of the various dips and breads I have sampled ( Just stopped in to say congratulations and give a look around) but the dips each had a very prominant and distinct taste of different spices, I am quite familiar with majority spices, due to working in Pakistani and Indian Restaurants, so my spice palette is very broad. Its very fresh and exotic.
Creativity: I, personally do enjoy eating meat, but also I enjoy having an alternative that is nutritious yet plentiful. It is labelled as an Egyptian Vegan Restaurant, I dont think you'll be able to find anything like it in Las Vegas. The idea itself is intriguing yet awe-inspiring to take such a risk to open up a business that might attract a whole new tier of intrests and favorites.
Overall: I have yet to give a more detailed review on the food itself, in which soon, I will have a part two of this review when i actually sit down and try a variety of their entrees, but I feel this will be my new spot to try when I need a lunch spot to head down to during break. Overall, I say, dont knock it till you try it, this new approach in Las Vegas is something to reckon.
Cheers!
