The dishes here are rich in flavor and texture - beautifully spiced and prepared combining family recipes and traditional street fare direct from Egypt. \n\nThis is an order-at-the-counter place. Then they bring your food out to you. Super casual, but clean and bright.\n\nI *love* Baba Ghanoush - the classic dish made with roasted eggplant and tahini. When I was deciding whether or not to order some here, the owner/chef said \"If you don't like it, I won't charge you for it\". (And then with a big smile) \" ...but you're gonna love it!\" she was absolutely right! Beautifully smoky and rich - just a little chunky, with lots of vegetables - it is among the best that I've had. The pita that came with it was hot and fresh. \n\nThe Cauliflower Shawarma -topped with vegetables and a thickened yoghurt dressing called labna - was hearty and filling. I loved it! It is sure to become a regular thing for me. I could eat it every day. you can also order it (like most things on the menu) as vegan, which substitutes a tahini sauce for the labna.\n\nI am excited to start working my way through the whole menu.\nHighly recommended!"^^ . . .
