I've had problems ordering here in the past due to language differences, ordering through doordash or one of those outfits made it very easy to schedule a pickup. We tried the baba ganoush this time, koshari with fried liver, stuffed green peppers, and little rice and meat sausages. Prices are super reasonable- too- Everything was excellent, not a complaint at all! And that's rare for me. Oh yeah a complaint, allow a lot of time clarify with the restaurant exactly how much time it will take because everything is made to order and it is not a 15 or 20 minute deal. But well worth it.

Let's get the elephant out of the room first…read more Ambience: Non-existent. Interior looks bare. It has a few seating. This is not a spot for a romantic date. We got takeout and were very satisfied. Food: I've had Egyptian before in NYC and I liked this much more. Here's what we ordered: Dolmas (stuffed grapeleaves). They were served hot. Never had them hot and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The stuffing was soft inside with a hint of sourness. Completely different from the typical cold pickled versions we had. I usually have 2-3 pieces but this time we ate the whole pound of it. Stuffed Cornish hen. This order takes a while, so order ahead. At first, we were not impressed by the meat. Not bad, very moist and meat fell off the bone. But, then we ate it with the stuffed rice. Rich umami. All the flavor went into the rice. Very rich flavor and together it was delicious. I would add hot sauce to the mix. Chicken kabob. All breast meat. Decent portion. It was not dry and very well spiced. My in-laws loved it. I'm not a fan of white meat but recognize that it was done well. Stuffed eggplant. Indian eggplant. Also hot version. Firm exterior, soft interior. Cuts through really well to share. Definitely like it more than the cold appetizer i've had elsewhere. More on the milder side so other dishes tasted better. Biftek (fried breaded thin steak). Fried very well. Didn't get soggy in the container so the kitchen knew to let it cool and stay crispy. Nothing bad but also not special. Many different cuisine does the same thing. Needs a dip. I would order it again and I imagine kids with a tunnel vision palate would like it too because it's like chicken nugget and french fries to them. Meat shawarma. This was disappointing. It's not bad but boring compared to all the other dishes. It's pretty much meat over rice but since I come from the city, it doesn't stack up against the lamb/chicken over rice from halal carts. It was a little dry and came with tahini (hummus based). Pretty sure this version is more authentic but I'm biased to the lamb over rice covered in white sauce. If you never had Egyptian before, it's in between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern because it is both but at the same time different enough to be its own category. There's a Greek restaurant in the same plaza and I would say the fare is completely different although their dishes overlap in the menu. They are not comparable. Verdict: We ordered more food the very next day. Until we try other restaurants in the area, this is currently my favorite Egyptian restaurant.

Blue walls creates a cool atmosphere (much welcomed on this hot day). The staff all seemed to rotate their responsibilities (like Trader Joe's) and all were proficient in their work.

Staff were exceptional. Attentive but not overly so. Service was elevated better than you would expect from small pizza restaurant. Is it a pizza restaurant? I'd rather think it's a nice restaurant that offers pizza. They had me with the complementary marinated vegetables and bread basket. Everything was stellar. Eggplant Rollatini appetizer was just the way I like it. Chicken Parmesan was good not the best ever but very good. Nice fresh sauce. Linguine clams had a generous amount of fresh clam. The only disappointment of the night was the consistency of the carbonara. I always ask if they put cream in the carbonara, which is a sin. They said they did not, but the carbonara came out a too soupy for my taste. Maybe they added too much pasta water at the end I don't know, but that is my only ding on the night. I will definitely return.

I went with 45 women from our development. When you walk into the restaurant, we were greeted warmly from the owner, Katie. Her mom does the cooking and she has a baker who gets there at 5:00 am to start making the breads. Many of their counter displayed - jarred items come directly from their home country. We started out with a savory, fresh salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and thinly sliced red onions. We were served, their classic cheese pie, Khink Ali, which is like a wonton, with 3 types of ground meat, eggplant, beef stew, chicken kabobs and a most delicious dessert. They make everything fresh for you. Nothing was prepared ahead of time. While we were there, Katie, had a video of her country and was explaining pieces of it. This was very intimate, since we took up the whole restaurant. While we were there, people did come in to purchase bread, which is what they are known for, along with other items to take out Well worth stopping in, look around and have a snack of something

I mean, who would go to an Italian market to ask for something other than premium Italian cuisine & delicacies am I right? Well apparently my black ass because the cute blond Caucasian girl behind the counter thought it was wise to ask me completely randomly "Ummm sirrr did you order the fried chicken & grilled chicken"??? SWEAR I'm not lying and you can't make that up. I ordered probably one of the most Jersey White Italian dude sandwiches of all time with sliced Mozzarella on it . Why you asking me if I ordered fried chicken at an Italian Market?! Was it because I was the only brother in there? Lmfao it's honestly just more funny than insulting just wanted to share this experience. The sandwich was pretty decent however. They told me they make their roast beef in house which was nice. I'd possibly return to try something else. Just cool it with the stubble context racism & teach proper customer service educate to the youth in there. Classic European market vibes that was nice I'd say.

I had the number 1 Bella Bianca on a semolina bread which is a classic chicken cutlet sandwich but I remixed it and added prosciutto, long hots and hot honey then took away the evoo and the glaze. It was delicious and hit the spot. However, to my surprise it was not my favorite sandwich of my experience here. The Uncle Tony (number 24) was delicious like one of the best sandwiches I've had. It is 100% up there in sandwich rankings. The skirt steak is sweet and tender, the onions add another layer, and the homemade mozzarella completes the sandwich. It comes standard on a ciabatta but I had it on Italian bread for a little extra. I am going to come back for sure. This is a must visit.
