I ordered Shish Tawook Dinner Lentil soup For the dinner, you have multiple choices such as Vermicelli rice salad, Gluten free rice house salad, Rice fries, Fries house salad, Rice only and Fries only. You can also get grilled veggies, mashed potatoes and other types of salad. But you have to pay extra for them. My order was delivered on time. There were also two loaves of bread and a small Garlic sauce

The serving sizes are very generous and the prices are affordable. My friend and I shared two appetizers and a falafel dinner, which left us with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. We ended our meal with delicious Egyptian coffee and baklava. The owners are extremely friendly and dedicated to providing a high-quality culinary experience. This restaurant is great for groups with different dietary preferences, as they offer meat, fish, and vegan dishes.

Fried Beef Liver Egyptian style beef liver, fried for a relatively smooth texture with some grainy chunks characteristic of the liver. Has a delicious, fragrant initial flavour seasoned with a simple spice mix and topped with parsley, but is followed with a subtle irony aftertaste. After a couple of bites, I got used to the aftertaste, or rather it became less prominent over time, and I started to like liver. Comes with a pita that has an almost overwhelmingly fragrant freshly baked bread smell, soft and slightly chewy with a distinct yeasty umami taste that goes well with the liver. Served with Tahini sauce that's smooth, slightly creamy and fragrant with sesame. Topped with parsley for an herby freshness. Mixed Grill Platter Three mixed skewers of chicken, minced beef/lamb, and chunks of lamb. All cooked pretty nicely, chicken was white meat and had a savory char on the outside, but the texture was a tad dry. Kofta had a strong meaty taste, has a somewhat moist, crumbly texture. The lamb was not cooked to the requested temp, yet still very juicy and tender, bursting with juices with a distinct lamby taste with each bite. Topped with caramelized fried onions. Underneath is a bed of medium grain rice, which has a more distinctive indiv. grain texture, less starchy and sticky texture, and a chewier mouthfeel that's mixed along with toasted vermicelli pasta for a slightly fragrant bite. Served with tahini on the side and half the plate is filled with a simple garden salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onions dressed with a simple vinaigrette. Koshari Soft macaroni and spaghetti that's past al dente but still has a slight chew, medium grain rice also a little soft but still indiv. grain texture. Lentils and chickpeas were tender but a little bland. The tomato sauce was sweet with a balancing acidity that gave an appetizing lightness to each bite. The fried onions were caramelized with a pleasant sweetness and addicting aroma. Molokhia Jute leaves and garlic simmered in chicken broth with spices. The broth is quite thin, with a very strong garlic aroma that's not pungent and very aromatic. Jute leaves add a new unique aroma. Served with the same medium grain rice (half of a plate) topped with fried onions and parsley, good for soaking in the broth. Quarter plate for a house salad.
