    Egyptian Delights - Sambusa Menu

    We've seen Egyptian Delights at the LJ Open Aire Market a few times but never tried anything. It…read morewas so hot yesterday and friend wanted a soda so badly. He found a cold coke can in a cooler at Egyptian Delights so purchased one from them. The staff is friendly and efficient. They are located in the back of the market by the grass lawn. The set up is nice and visually appealing. They sell gyros and shawerma sandwiches and plates. There's a spit roast in the back that has the meat. I'm just noticing now, in menu pic, that they also offer falafel. We bought their homemade baklava for $2.50/square. It was nutty and sweet. I thought it was a bit dry but no biggie at the time since we were just wanting something quick and easy for dessert. I hope they do well at this market as they seem to work hard. Maybe I'll stop by in future to try their falafel.

    Egyptian Delights is a food vendor and catering company that has a stand at the La Jolla Open Aire…read moreFarmer's Market. I had the pleasure of enjoy a variety of their homemade Sambusas. They cost a dollar each or you can get 6 for $5, which is the better deal if you have a big appetite or intend to share (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/egyptian-delights-san-diego?select=HCj4jbI-hGh3jQNdc-hSEw#UVBsToND7JTILaVs5Q4PMg). I order to orders of six, six for me and six for my fellow Yelper Ali. She went all beef because they were out of the spinach and cheese, but I went for four beef, two chicken, and since I bought 12, the nice lady threw in a potato sambusa for me to try. All the sambusas came tightly wrapped and nicely fried to golden brown (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/egyptian-delights-san-diego?select=HCj4jbI-hGh3jQNdc-hSEw#snNxQWgotCGsoGoPyOi9LA). My favorite was the beef with vegetables. They came with a good amount of spiced ground beef and tender and still quite vibrant vegetable (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/egyptian-delights-san-diego?select=HCj4jbI-hGh3jQNdc-hSEw#N9BbfWzUVMukDb9GIbSINQ). The chicken was good, but they could of used more of that tender tasty chicken in them. They too came with the same vegetables. The potato sambusa was okay. I thought it was just two soft all the way through, but a good vegetarian alternative. The six sambusas, well actually seven, if I include the potato one, were actually quite filling. They also make gyros, shawerma, and breakfast pitas. The mother and son combo are quite nice and always busily working making some great food. You can find them every Sunday at the La Jolla Open Aire Farmer's Market.

    Amazing food here! I love the family run business, which is very genuine on serving the best food…read moreand brining people together. We came here for a late lunch, so we were lucky that there was a parking spot opened up right in the plaza. I can not imagine how difficult parking would be during the busy time! I assume you will need to find street parking. Although the plaza is small, the restaurant is big! It has many tables inside, including larger areas for groups. We went in and saw a family having dinner together. That really gave the restaurant a warm family vibe. You can see in the decorations that they have earned many recognitions and had even been on Guy's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show! What an amazing place! We started the lunch with a nice mint lemonade! OMG! I highly recommend this! I would go back just for this, so refreshing and perfect way to be primed for a great meal. We had three items, Soujouk Flat Bread, Baba Ghannouj, and Ouzi Lamb. The portion is large! We could not finish and had to take to-go for two of us. I love their baba ghannouj! Very authentic and come with the bread. The serve was smiling when I asked whether it came with the bread. He eventually also told us that we should open the bread like a pita and put baba ghannouj in there. I appreciate the guidance on how to enjoy the food. I also loved soujouk flat bread. So delicious! The highly recommended ouzi lamb lived up to the expectation and it's very delicious. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. We will come back for sure because they have so many good delicious food on the menu that we need to try!

Inside is decorated well and has plenty of room for groups. The menu has depth with starters consisting of salads, bread and entrees. For drinks it ranges from nonalcoholic, wine, beer, tea and a house made coffee. W For drinks we had the fresh lemonade with mint. This was sweet but not overpowering. I recommend this drink. I ordered the fisherman's rice and it is enough for two hungry adults. The love dessert is a showstopper! Save room for this delicious dessert! We see many returns visits to experience this delicious food! Enjoy!

    We were craving gyro and rice and tatziki so I checked on Yelp to find the closest place to us - El…read moreBasha is what popped up. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a nice man that I am assuming is the owner that other Yelp reviews have raved about. He helped us quickly at their food counter at the back (did I mention they are also a specialty foods market?) and we ordered two meals and an appetizer. We grabbed drinks from the cooler and sat at the table in the front. Our grape leaves came out first. Accompanied by chopped lettuce garnish and sliced tomatoes and oranges, they were tasty and delicious! Our food came out and we dug in to a gyro plate and a beef shawarma plate. Both came with a salad, pita and a choice of dip (we chose hummus). The portions were generous, the seasoning was mouth watering, and the presentation gorgeous! We could have easily also shared a plate, but we will always want more than one thing so it just means more chances to try new dishes! Their prices are very reasonable for extremely high quality fresh healthy food! We will be back for sure, and I also notice they deliver through DoorDash and Grub Hub. Thank you El Basha - we are your new biggest fans! At the end of our meal they gave us a beautiful baklava dessert!! You have to come here!

    We have lived out here for a while and I've been searching for some good falafel and we finally…read moremade it here. It was a cute storefront with some very cool grocery items. We liked to look around while we waited for our food. The owner (I assume) was really nice and they took good care of us. I tried the trio sampler and their hummus and baba ganoush was so smooth and flavorful. The falafel wrap was GIANT and so yummy. I struggled to even eat half. It's food for 2 days now. My husband got the shawarma fries and thought they were great. The portions are SO BIG for how much they cost. It's very affordable fresh delicious food. I'll be back The only reason for the 4 stars is the pita bread and whatever was used for the wrap wasn't what I was expecting. It was kinda dry and fell apart. I expected fluffier thicker bread.
