Even the presentation through delivery was beautiful and made us excited to open everything and eat. So far, we tried the macarona béchamel -- it was fantastic, moist, not dry at all, and full of flavor. We also tried the koshary, and the sauce added to it was perfectly balanced and gave exactly the authentic taste needed. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I can't wait to visit in person soon!

If youre in the area, definitely support this small business!

Please beware. Health violation. Waited over 20 mins for my…read moreorder. Finally went up the counter after seeing multiple ppl who ordered after me get their food. Found out that they actually gave my food to another person who had already left the restaurant. Several mins later the man returned when he realized that they gave him the wrong food, AND they tried to give me that same food the man had returned. Then the cashier was upset when I wouldn't accept the food. Completely unacceptable and unsanitary. To make matters worse, I later called to report the situation to the manager and it turns out the manager was the one that tried to give me the mishandled food. Plus the employee I spoke to also tried to defend and justify the behavior. He said "I don't think there was anything wrong with the food". There is obviously something wrong going on at this place. Needless to say I will never return.

We had white rice and dill rice with this entree (no upcharge), and I liked both. -Extra bread: I paid for two orders of extra bread ($2 each) because I feel like you always need more bread for hummus, and they sent a giant paper bag of bread--we couldn't finish it, but it tasted good.

Thank God they packed really well, so the food was still warm. Every single item was full of taste and freshness. It is well served in size and packed creatively. We all loved it. The price is a little pricy, but again, the quality is not cheap. We would love to try again, but it's better to dine in and enjoy food served directly to your table from the kitchen. We highly recommend this place but try to dine in if you can.

The chicken has a great flavor and even about 45 minutes later, when we started eating it, it was still juicy and not dry, which is great. The rice was fluffy and not mushy, so that's good as well. I will say that I was disappointed that the tray seemed like it was half empty to begin with. If they put it in a smaller dish, perhaps it would look more full, but I really wish for the size of dish we got about a half tray would be at least half full. It looked scarce. At least it tasted good.

Out of all the items, the wrap was the best. It had a lot of sauce and that helped provide some much needed moisture. The chicken with the salad was very dry and that made it a bit unpleasant, unless you really douse it in sauce. The salad was fine but nothing special. Both the chicken and salad actually needed some salt. The grape leaves were okay--but I've had better. I was wishing I had tried the chicken Arabi instead until I saw them get out a bag of French fries. Nevermind...I don't think I'll be back.
