| - What can I say?
I don't give out 5 stars lightly or willy-nilly.
My husband almost cried tasting the food...
He hugged the owner twice.
My 10 yr old said he couldn't believe we hadn't taken him to eat Egyptian food before and now it's his favorite. We are on our way back today, at his request and with my other kids, after being there only two days ago.
Even if you are not vegan/vegetarian, try it!!
It would be a shame to deprive yourself of sampling this Egyptian gem.
We had the cauliflower shawarma. Pita, so fresh, filling so flavorful with the right combination of ingredients/textures to make your mouth do a happy dance.
Lentil soup. Im surprised my son didn't burn his throat scarfing down the creamy, golden goodness in his bowl. Only complaint is that there is only a "cup" size and not a "bowl." If you like daal tadka, you HAVE to try this!
Baba ganoush. Came with two small, pillow puffs of delicious, piping hot bread. Had to order more bread for 1$....and then like that, the container was empty and we were scraping down the sides with our fingers to get that last little bit.
Koshari. My husband was skeptical at first, I think because he is not a macaroni person, but ended up with tears in his eyes while eating this Egyptian street fare staple. The sauces were spot on and intensified the experience that is dancing on your palate.
I liked that the tomato sauce was not so sweet that it tasted like ketchup and it had the right amount of acidity to bring all the components together. The spicy sauce and vinaigrette just level it up.
Egyptian fries. Thick, steak cut fries cooked in peanut oil and sprinkled with special spices. Served with harissa ketchup. They were good and my son and husband enjoyed them, but still, they are just fries.
Vegan brownie and ice cream. Chewy on the outside and soft baked heaven on the inside.
Going to try the other desserts today.
The mint/cucumber/lemon water was refreshing.
Sampled the fresh made hibiscus drink and even my husband, who doesn't like my hibiscus tea at home, kept slurping down the ruby liquid.
The only thing that I can think of that would cause me to dock a star would be if they really messed something up. The owners attention to detail in all aspects of the experience of eating here tells me that isn't going to happen. I would love to be able to snag her for an afternoon/evening to come and cater one of my events!
I have high hopes and expectations that they will do well here. Try it for yourself and see. Even if it turns out not to be your cup of tea, your body will be one day healthier and happier.
