    The most delicious koshary/koshari!

    The BEST koshary I've had in the US! Ever since acquiring the taste in Egypt, it's always been hard to find it here in the US but last night, on a Monday at 11pm, Cairo Restaurant really satiated! It was fresh, well-balanced and so tasty! Trust me, it's worth paying more for "extra sauce"! So delicious, will be back! (And hope they add Sahlab back to the drink menu too )

    We went to Cairo Restaurant and Cafe with our friends last weekend. The place was clean. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Our host was a very nice young guy. He was very friendly and accommodating. He checked on our group many times to see if we wanted anything. We ordered many delicious dishes; -Mixed Grill,  5/5 Chicken kabob, kefta, beef Kabob , lamb chop Baba ghanoush, hummus -Egyptian croissant. 5/5 Flaky layered pastry served with two sides of your choice( white honey, molasses, powdered sugar, or cheese) -Sayadeya Fish Casserole: 5/5 Fried fish fillet baked with sayadeya sauce, sayadeya rice and salad We also had chicken kabob plate 5/5 It came with rice, salad and hummus Two of our friends had lamb Kabob 5/5 They chose hummus and salad with the rice. The food was very flavorful and the quantity was generous. All our friends enjoyed the food, the welcoming vibes, and the service. We had such a great time in Cairo Cafe. I highly recommend the place.

    Fattah with two lamb shanks; mint lemonade; very tasty!

    Excellent dinner and service. We shared Hawawshy appetizer, and enjoyed generous tasty entrees: chicken kabsa, fattah with two lamb shanks and bamya with beef. Highly recommended!

    Egyptian Falafel with Sesame

    5/5 This place is the real deal Egyptian food from the home land yall. 100% authentic food cooked fresh, hot and served with perfect timing. Lentil soup Fire I mean its amazing delicious mouthwatering perfection. Falafel Perfect consistency, crunchy warm gooey inside, sesames to remind you of Egypt. Comes with tahini tomato and cucumber. Delicious. Sugok Egyptian beef sausage. So so good. Not gamey, perfectly cooked and fragrant with onions tomatoes and herbs. The rice is delicious with sharia (pasta noodles) authentic Egyptian style and arugula fragrant salad. Superb dish. Service I feel like im visiting a friend. They treated me like family and made me feel at home. They were kind, respectful and generous. Saif the owner/manager was great. The price is reasonable for this area. Ample free parking available. Ambiance is chill family style and at some point they play some nice arabic music on the tv and speakers. I highly recommend this restaurant if youre craving authentic home cooked Egyptian or Arab or middle eastern food. Don't hesitate just get over here and bring the whole family. You wont regret it.

    Found this place last year when I wanted to smoke some shisha; it never tastes burnt and lasts for a good few hours. Coals are replaced consistently, but sometimes you need to ask them to replace them because it gets pretty busy here. I love that it's a relaxing restaurant where family and friends come to hang out. The servers are all very friendly and the food here tastes great and is decently priced. I'll always recommend this spot to friends when they want some good Egyptian food.

    Disrespectful Experience at DREAM Hookah LOUNGE…read more I visited Dream Hookah Lounge with a few friends last night and had an incredibly disappointing experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were extremely rude and unaccommodating. We were told we couldn't take the menu to our table and had to place our order right there, which felt very rushed and unwelcoming. The pricing was confusing, and the staff's attitude made us feel unwelcome. The guy was so disrespectful if there was any body rather then me was getting in a fight with him the guy was simply racist because I'm Middle Eastern American and he was a white guy, but he didn't know that I am a white middle Eastern that grow up in this country and voted every four years I swear if my wife was not there, then I was showing the guy that was up. So he should know how to respect the people, and how he should talk to the people. Additionally, when we asked for simple drinks, we were told that only hot tea was available, and even basic requests were denied. The situation escalated when we tried to use the bathroom he is coming trying to open the badges door for what to see my shit I am so passed and were treated invasively, and we were also told we couldn't go to our car for a smoke. Overall, the lack of respect and the unprofessionalism left a very negative impression. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the overall experience for customers . I want personally that you the owner contact me and explain your employees attitude

    My group and I walked in and waited for a bit for the worker to come up. He was not pleasant or…read morewelcoming. The menus have no pricing so when we asked about it he stated that we had to purchase one hookah per person but would make us a deal and do 2 hookahs for 4 people. Then told us each hookah was almost $76. That is ridiculous. We decided to leave and take our business elsewhere.

It was around 6:45 on a Saturday and there were only about 2-3 other groups. To order you have to scan the QR code at your table. Its convenient because everyone can just order and pay on their own tab. The food, hookah, and cards are all ordered through this. Everything came out lightening fast. I got the chicken plate with white meat and the cinnamon tea, less sweet. The plate had plenty of food and was pretty good but not anything special. The tea was absolutely delish and I would highly recommend it. Randomly the chips off of my friends plate were one of my favorite things. I dipped it in the hummus and it was a great flavor combo. They have plenty of hookah flavors and by 8:00 pm the place was packed and you could not see through the smoke lol. Service is a little spotty if you need help. There were some helpful servers and some that were lacking. The place has 2-3 too many tables, you have to walk through a maze to try to exit because it is so cramped. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Most of our group ended up just holding our pee in! Overall the place had good vibes but there are some holes in the service. Also, Parking gets extremely crowded at night.

    Came here on a Sunday night and the place was pretty empty…read more When we approached the host stand, a man was standing there with his back to us on his phone. We weren't even sure if he worked there or was just waiting. We walked past him and saw two guys (one seemed like the owner or manager) standing and talking. No acknowledgment at all. We finally asked if we could sit anywhere and were just told "yes." We sat outside and waited quite a while before anyone came to take our order. We ordered a Blue Mist hookah and it had almost no flavor -- it tasted like it had already been smoked for an hour. No one checked on us, so my husband had to get up and find the manager to ask for a replacement. We switched to Double Apple and it was the same thing: basically flavorless. We asked for water and the manager dropped off bottled water without saying anything. It's really frustrating when you're not told upfront that there's no free water. If I'm paying for a drink anyway, I would've preferred tea. Once again, we had to track down the manager to ask him to swap it out for tea. We also ordered a combo kebab platter. The presentation was nice, but the food itself was average. The meats were decent, but the hummus was pretty bad. To top it off, the guy who had been standing at the host stand (who we later realized worked there) sat at a nearby table watching videos loudly on his phone while we were eating. Super annoying and unprofessional. Overall, poor service and food that didn't really deliver. Not a place I'd rush back to.
