I really wanted to like the place and the food since it's Egyptian style Mediterranean restaurant. We sat at our table and the owners son was serving us. The service was not what you call traditional and it was very, "if you need something holler at me" style. Totally fine with that and we proceeded to order.
I read the review before coming so, I was waiting to see if we were gonna get the bait and switch a la charging us for something we didn't order.
The food itself is honestly not the best I've had. it was very heavy on the garlic and lemon which drowned out any other flavors. it was LEMON and GARLIC hummus, LEMON and Garlic baba ganoush, LEMON and GARLIC salad. Meat was tough and chewy. Still forgivable tho.
The old man is sweet and he does not understand a word of english.
The baclava and some other pastry thing starts with a B was stellar tho and his wife makes them (i think she might have the chef's tongue in this family)
And right at the end we got hit with some weird charges added about $11 to my bill. The son brought out a hummus and baba ganoush and I asked if it came with the plate we ordered and he said it did and he was just bringing it out first. When we asked for the check from the grandpa there was the charges for the hummus and baba ganoush
I politely brought it up to him and then he started haggling with me politely. I guess it might be a cultural thing. It was cool tho.
I just paid and left a big tip. The owner is really a nice cute grandpa and
he is very kindly towards the customers. Alas, I can't afford being overcharged consistently or I wouldn't be able to eat out.
If the food was good I would go there and just be careful how I order so, it would be impossible to be overcharged. But, the food was mediocre when I went. Maybe, his wife is the one who can break it down in the kitchen.
