| - [LOCATION] - 3/5
This place is located on Gerrard St E. No parking in direct vicinity, so we parked on one of the side streets. There is an inevitable lineup, but the line is a tad shorter before and after the brunch rush. We waited for approximately 45 minutes.
[SERVICE] - 5/5
Our server was amazing and made us feel like we were guests in his home.
[DÉCOR] - 4/5
Very small, comfortable, and felt like we were in an Egyptian family's home. The only downside of such a popular but small place was the wait-time for seats.
[QUALITY] - 4/5
Patience was a virtue because each dish was made with high-quality ingredients, and the flavours went very well with one another.
[ORDER] - 4/5
- Maha's Mind-Blowing Chicken - $14.00: Chicken literally exploded out of the bun, and was topped with a rich tomeya, homemade mayonnaise, and tehina. The bun underneath the chicken was a little too soggy, but the bun on top was toasted very well.
- Egyptian Falafel - $14.00: When I cut into the Falafel wraps, I loved how the soft boiled egg oozed out of the crispy case. The cumin home fries were addictive and the salad created a nice balance for this hearty dish.
[OVERALL] - 4/5
Definitely worth the wait time. Portions were large, and worth the value. Besides the soggy bun in the Mind-Blowing Chicken, our order was phenomenal and I would recommend this place for authentic Egyptian food.
