The food here is fantastic! Everything you would want in Egyptian food and priced fairly with most dishes around $12 or less. Recommend getting the Cairo Classic (fava beans in tomatoes and onions, sliced boiled egg, a falafel, a dollop of tomato feta, charred balady bread and salata balady). The Betengan also delicious packed with roasted eggplant and bell peppers on a mini pita, drizzled with homemade garlic, vinegar sauce and homemade tehina.
Other tasty sides were the charred balady bread, babaghanoug and cumin home fries (get this).
While the eats are great, the service is far from ideal. Inefficient! When you arrive, your name is written down on a list and you are provided an estimated time- ours was 1.5 hours around 1pm on a Saturday. What upset me was we were told to wait at the restaurant for the table as your name is called when it is ready. If you are not present, the table goes to the next person on the list. Kicker is if you are called and not present, you are still able to get a table even if you show up hours later. A simple text could solve this issue and losing a table if you don't show up within 10 minutes.
I would visit again however, it may be a little while and perhaps earlier in the morning on a weekend.
